About Dave

With over 20 years of experience in the industry, I’ve had the opportunity to work with countless people and bring all kinds of ideas to life. Over the years, my style and approach have continued to evolve, and today I specialize primarily in black and grey tattooing, while still enjoying the challenge of working in a variety of styles.

For me, tattooing is about more than simply creating a good-looking piece of art. Every tattoo has a story behind it, and I believe the best work comes from taking the time to understand the person and the idea behind the tattoo.

I specialize in custom tattoos and prefer to work closely with my clients through the consultation process. I like to sit down, talk through their ideas, look at what inspires them, and then develop a design that feels personal and unique to them. Sometimes that means taking an idea exactly where the client imagined it, and sometimes it means adding my own artistic direction to make the finished tattoo even stronger.

After more than two decades in the industry, I still enjoy the creative process and the connection that comes with tattooing. I want my clients to feel comfortable, listened to, and confident that they’re getting something created specifically for them.

Whether you come to me with a fully developed idea or just a starting point, my goal is always the same: create a tattoo that you’ll be proud to wear for a lifetime.
