Custom Large-Scale Tattoo Design
A considered approach to creating a tattoo that works with your body and your story.
A More Personal Way to Build Your Tattoo
I begin by learning what you want the piece to express, then develop a design direction suited to the available space. Composition, scale, flow, and detail are considered together so the tattoo feels balanced rather than placed on the body as an afterthought.
The experience is collaborative without losing creative focus. You can expect clear conversations about the concept and placement, along with a steady tattooing process designed to give a larger piece the attention it requires.
Ideal For
Open areas of the body suited to larger artwork
Clients with a developed concept or meaningful theme
Custom designs that need strong composition and flow
People ready to plan a substantial tattoo carefully
