Specialties
We can do pretty much anything, given the freedom to create your custom request we make sure there will always be more high energy and elevated attention to the tattoo. Collectively tattooing since 1992, we have years of street shop experience and custom, freehand expertise to offer as well. All the years of doing flash and tattooing on the spot has given us the tools to be able to do custom tattooing at the highest level. The styles we love to do are clean readable images, one shot,single session small pieces ,and large scale body work such as back pieces and sleeves. The type of tattooing we do is in the traditional method. We do not do photo realism but, love doing black and grey tattooing as well. Please take some time to look and see the work. Looking at the tattoos we've selected to be here on this site will give you an understanding of the type of tattooing we feel is our strong suit. All the paintings in the art work section are either for sale or sold already. We rarely make prints, but are always available to make a painting by commission.
