Our studio celebrates the full spectrum of tattoo culture, offering work rooted in history, identity, and tradition. From bold Nordic and Celtic designs to West Coast Chicano styles shaped by lived experience, and classic American tattooing done the way it was meant to be, we honor the origins behind every line. Here, every tattoo carries its own culture, story, and spirit.

A black and grey portrait tattoo on the lower leg featuring a woman with detailed eyes, straight hair, and a bandana covering the lower half of her face. Above the portrait is a bold “100” design framed in heavy black ink. Below the portrait, stylized graffiti-style lettering fills the ankle area. The tattoo blends smooth realism with dark contrast, sharp linework, and street-art inspired elements.

A large Nordic-inspired tattoo covering the shoulder, upper arm, and chest. The design features intertwined Viking knotwork, stylized animal motifs, and bold patterned bands filled with dense dotwork shading. The shoulder includes a detailed beast-like figure with ornate lines and geometric accents, while the chest section showcases looping Celtic knots and textured backgrounds. The piece has high contrast, crisp linework, and a traditional Norse art influence.

A detailed black and grey lettering tattoo covering the lower leg, featuring large Old English script layered with flowing cursive phrases. Bold, high-contrast letters fill the calf, while softer shaded script weaves between the larger words, creating depth and movement. The tattoo showcases clean linework, smooth gradients, and expert typography blending for a dramatic Chicano-style aesthetic.

A colorful neo-traditional calf tattoo featuring a large butterfly with bold blue, pink, and yellow accents. The wings are decorated with ornamental shapes and soft gradients, creating a symmetrical, vibrant design. Surrounding the butterfly are stylized blue flowers with green leaves, adding balance and contrast. The tattoo showcases clean lines, saturated color, and a classic illustrative style.

A highly detailed Nordic tattoo covering the lower leg, featuring intricate knotwork, bold black linework, and dense dot-shading. At the center is a large Vegvisir-style symbol framed by Celtic patterns and Viking-inspired ornamental borders. The tattoo wraps around the calf, showcasing clean geometry, dark contrast, and traditional Norse artistry.

A black and grey hand tattoo featuring a stylized bat with large pointed ears, sharp fur textures, and glowing eyes. The design sits across the knuckles and hand, extending onto the fingers with bold outlines and detailed shading. Above the bat’s head is a small silhouette of a flying bat inside a faint circular arc. The tattoo has a dark, gothic, and illustrative style, with clean contrast and bold character.

A blackwork and dotwork chest tattoo featuring an intricate knotwork design inspired by Nordic and medieval art. Interwoven ribbons and stylized animal shapes form a circular pattern filled with fine stippling for depth. At the center, a small Viking warrior figure stands with a sword and shield, surrounded by looping ornamental lines and textured backgrounds. The tattoo showcases bold outlines, detailed shading, and a hand-drawn historical aesthetic.

A black and grey realism tattoo on the forearm featuring two highly detailed roses, soft gradient shading, and delicate highlights. A beaded rosary wraps around the roses, leading to a small cross near the wrist. Flowing script reading “My My” sits between the flowers. The tattoo showcases smooth blending, crisp linework, and a polished, three-dimensional finish.

A bold blackwork tattoo covering the outer forearm, featuring an intricate symmetrical pattern made of sharp lines, interlocking shapes, and tribal-inspired geometry. The design wraps around the arm with heavy black fills and precise negative space, creating a striking high-contrast look. The tattoo emphasizes symmetry, flow, and clean saturated black ink.
