10 years ago, I ordered a $40 tattoo kit off Amazon and set up shop in my moms kitchen… like instantly😂 My mom was actually the first person I ever tattooed and yes…her tattoo looked fucking horrible🥲…but for some reason I kept going. Coming from nothing, drawing on people sounded like the craziest shot in the dark imaginable to everyone that heard… but fucking it worked😂 who would’ve thunk it… Naw like deadass… I could barley get get the tattoo machine to work and I was like “🤔Hold on… I think I might be on to something”😂😂😂 Safe to say It’s been a roller coaster ride😅and I’m Sooooooooooooo grateful for all the people who decided to hop on the roller coaster with me…Y’all is just as crazy as me 😂…I really just wanna say thank you for the bottom of my heart🫶🏽 My clients are a blessing sent from God.

A year of work in 25 seconds 😅 it’s crazy how things work

It’s a lot I could say about this sleeve but I’m going to just let it speak for itself.

Me & my client @kstew1738 put our crazy ideas together and boom! This crazy sleeve was the outcome 💪🏽 For projects this big, it definitely takes a lot of trust, patience, and openness towards ideas. You can’t be closed minded and expect cool shit to happen🤷🏽‍♂️. You have to be willing to build!

This took around 5 1/2 sessions 💪🏽… Kyle sat like a rock through the whole thing ( we’re like 98% done, still a couple things we need to do)

If you’re interested in building a unique piece with me, just DM me and let’s work! So you too, can walk around and be one of the coolest looking people ever💯 taken in Silver Spring, Maryland by @kilo301

Only for the month of November!
Not everyone will be accepted🫡

So the past two months, I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been feeling a bit burnt out. I haven’t been feeling like the Heavyweight Champion of the Universe that I know I am. Don’t get it twisted: I’m still pumping out that hot fiery anime shit that’ll melt the Sun ☀️ . I’m not gonna lie, I’m anime’d tf out. (yes I’m still doing amazing anime tattoos, definitely dm me) With tattooing 11 years and 6 years solely tattooing anime, burn out happens sometimes. I want to venture out a bit and try all different type of styles just to switch it up for the month of November. What styles exactly …. No f***ing clue. That would be up to you my friend 🫵🏼. If you’ve been following me enough time, you know me. As long as it’s a cool idea, I’m f***ing down. I’m ready to team up with you and create something insane.

This was @laroge_lawrence first tattoo with me. When he first messaged me, he didn’t know what he wanted; he just knew he wanted a cool anime tatt. He took a few hours to narrow down the options and make his final decision. Who he decided on was Ken MFing Kaneki… yeah, that’s right the bad ass heartthrob aka Mr. You’ve pushed me to the edge for the final time aka Mr. I crashed out so hard my hair changed colors aka Mr. I’m really a chill guy, but when it’s time to slide I’m flipping shyt….yeah that guy😂🫡. I definitely was hyped when he told me because it’s been over a year since I got to do this character… so you know I had to show ya boi been leveling up the art💪🏽 LaRoge mostly gave me free range; he only had one request: an innocent version on one side and the newly awakened savage on the other. I was super down for this because I’ve never done a split design with the same character on both sides.

Since this design only allowed for one color, I really had to push the red to its limits to bring out the many red details in it. The last thing I wanted to happen was for it to look too monotonous. Basically, I didn’t want it to look like Kaneki was just chilling next to blobs of red lol. I was able to create around seven different tones of red, which was key in making everything legible and giving this piece depth. The end result…. A cool ass tattoo!

If you’re like LaRoge and you got some money in your pocket, but your idea is not all the way fleshed out, just send a DM over and we can cook up something crazy together🫡 by @kilo301

First session with me in the books for @_s1eepy . Brodie came to me with an interesting concept! Since he’s the younger brother in his family, he wanted an Anime tatt to represent that! This hit home cause in my family I’m the youngest sibling…So you know I took this piece personal (I need all the younger siblings to put y’all’s fist in the air…✊🏽United We Stand 😂😂). To represent the younger brother theme, he went with 2 of the goats Sasuke & Luffy…🤔which was a combo I’ve never done before! This was bound to be interesting. Bro really only had one request: no heavy color, just red accents🤏🏽. I went with a bolder approach to the design, which made it easier to blend the styles from each anime. I used shading to make sure no character would overshadow the other. Also, by using dot work and leaving as much skin open as possible, it kept the piece from looking too convoluted and had space to breathe. We ended up with a bold fire piece that’s bound to get recognition wherever he goes💪🏽 @_s1eepy actually just hit me up the other day and said he’s almost ready to book the next session so, definitely stay tuned! We got some more cool shit on the way 🫡 by @kilo301

Me and @robdinero_ been rocking out for awhile now, knocking out some crazy pieces over the years. This time bro wanted to go for the whole Chest Piece💪🏽. As soon as he sent the idea over I thought to myself 🤔 “Yeeeeeeah ain’t nothing fucking he’s “THE ONE”. Of course we couldn’t do this in one session. This was a three parter or as I would like to call “ The Trilogy of Greatness “ 🙂‍↕️. If I’m being completely honest, I didn’t have to have much input in this design. Rob came to me with the design completely thought out. I don’t have to do anything, It was already a fire idea. I literally just followed his directions. When you’ve been locked in with the same artist for a while. It tends to be like that, y’all already built a foundation of understanding so every tattoo y’all do just gets better and better….. but enough about the process. You can’t tell me Rob isn’t the Final Boss of Life!!! As soon as he goes in public people just are bowing down now… bro walks into any room and immediately they make him the leader of whatever tf is going on! When he enters and the say “ THANK GOD YOURE HERE! We have no idea what we’re doing, WE NEED YOU” …Yep🙂‍↕️, that’s exactly how his life goes now… no exaggeration needed
🤷🏽‍♂️ what did you expect though …he’s “THE ONE!” 😂🫡💪🏽

If you were interested in cooking up something crazy with me so you can start your life path of greatness…Bro, just Dm me 🫡 and I’ll respond as soon as possible by @kilo301

This was a show I thought I would never get the chance to tattoo!!! So originally @whotfdmitri came to me and wanted to do a Danny Phantom, and of course I was hyped. It’s Danny fucking Phantom. The kid ‘when he was just 14 when his parents built a very strange machine’ …you get it 😂💪🏽. Then one day my boy Dimitri hit me back, and said he wanted to see if he could change the idea for the tattoo…. I admit it, I was sad af …but I said I was down. Actually, once he said Black Dynamite I was like ‘’Maaaaaaaan, fuck that ghost fighting Mf HELL YEA!” 😂😂😂. Black Dynamite is one of the coldest mofos to ever exist…..aaaaaannd not to mention he wanted Honeybee so you know you had all the ingredients for a KILO CLASSIC!! My boy got absolutely no pushback from me 🤷🏽‍♂️. Since it’s Black Dynamite, you know we had to go bold…. I mean, come on, these ain’t shy characters 🔫🤬

This was Demetri‘s first tattoo with me, and it took around six hours, and he sat like a rock throughout the whole thing💪🏽. My boy actually already got another tattoo by me aaaaand has another one booked for August… so you know we locked in for real 🤞🏽…MF basically family at this point🫡! I’ll let you in on a little secret 🤫 ( he’s getting Static Shock next!) Looking forward to all the great work and conversations we’ll have in the future.

Dm me if you’re interested in getting a unique and definitely cool piece tailored to you. With a little teamwork and your crazy ass ideas, we could do something great!!! by @kilo301

@livingoodlito decided it was time to finish up this half sleeve we’ve been working on! Since he has Naruto on the other side, my boy thought it was only right to keep the come up story theme💪🏽 Sooooo who’s better than Sung Jin-woo. After all, my boy went from E rank (worst hunter of all time) to your weak ass systems can’t measure my greatness! So of course we kept the theme of dotwork with color accents to really pop it out. On Sung Jin-woo we didn’t go heavy on the blue on the actual character, just the eyes. We wanted to really emphasize that fourth-quarter game clutching no mercy look he is known for. We definitely achieved that!…. The eyes look like they’re glowing (I swear that’s not UV ink). Carlos wanted to add the words ‘’ level up’’ on the design and you know I was down…. cause you know…. that is what we do here after all LEVEL TF UP! For the words to add more flare , we decided it was best to place a majority of the blue accents on this portion of the tattoo (we made that decision mid tattoo). We did this to make it stand out, and pull attention, because it is on the back portion of the forearm and we didn’t want it to go unnoticed👀
We still have more to do to finish up this half sleeve! Definitely stay tuned because we’re gonna be filling up the gaps with some more fire🤞🏽

So if you’re like my boy, Carlos here and you’re always striving to level up DM me with your idea and we can start planning your next upgrade taken in Silver Spring, Maryland by @kilo301

This was John’s first tattoo with me ! Sent over a reference picture of what he wanted, and I was like ‘’cool I could do something fairly similar in my own way of course’’. Then we hopped on a video call to go over design, and by the end of the call he was like ‘’ bro just do whatever you want. I’m excited to see what you come up with’’ I think he sensed my hype😂. He only had one request, He can’t be smoking. Ngl I was a little bummed at first, but it ended up making the piece better! It forced me to focus on the core of the design and literally not get lost in the smoke. Afro ended up being more bold because with no smoke I was able to push the contrast more . It was truly a blessing in disguise. I love how this tattoo turned out! I know John feels the same way, because after I was done and we had to let it settle down before taking pictures…. We both sat there and literally said nothing but ‘’ Damn this tattoo is crazy’’ for 30 straight minutes😂… can you blame us 🤷🏽‍♂️ have a great time filled with a lot of random conversations and good luck. Looking forward to doing more great pieces in the future.

So if you like John and want a cool unique piece, that’ll make you stand out in the best way possible!! DM me with your idea and we could start brainstorming the next level up💪🏽 taken in Silver Spring, Maryland by @kilo301

I love doing characters I’ve never seen tatted before!

OK, so one day I’m going through a bunch of DMS turning down a bunch of people cause I wasn’t interested in doing what they wanted. I thought to myself ‘’🤔Damn when tf is someone gonna have a cool tattoo idea🥱’’…. Then it happens…. @pnfguwop messages me! He said he wanted something different, which was Kiba and Akamaru. One of his favorite characters in the show and so happens to share birthday with him!….Bro, saved the day with this idea I’ve never seen a Kiba tattoo done so you know, I was hyped up! Aaaannnnd he was giving me artistic freedom it was only right. I go crazy and really show the people my ninja way. Since he is of a darker tone, I knew I had to go bold and really push the contrast, but I didn’t want to limit the design with just the character….. I didn’t know where I wanted to go with the design, so I decided to do some research….aka re-watching Naruto fighting scenes😂🤷🏽‍♂️… boom then it hit me ‘’ I’m gonna put this whole mfing scene in this tattoo” … lol yeah I know crazy idea… but S.J gave me the greenlight, so I started to go to work🫡. The final product, Kiba and Akamaru at the top and the Double Headed Wolf vs Sakon 4 at the bottom!!! I had a blast designing this for S.J…. thank you for believing in me mane, cause I know it just sounded like crazy talk at first 😂😂😂 taken in Silver Spring, Maryland by @kilo301

So this was @meamobb__ first tattoo with me! Our first session we started with a banger! Afro mfing Samurai!!! (Cough cough… the best swordsman in anime…you’ll never change my mind on this, I will forever die on this hill💯) Afro is the goat. Went with something a different than my normal style. A Painter abstract look.
While she was sitting there like a rock she proceeded to tell me about her job. She works for the TSA, was now I consider as one of the most stressful jobs ever😅. I was like “ Dayum….this is an everyday thing?!?!” It’s a job where everyone you deal with is on edge and has a personal vendetta against you😂. She definitely has a different level of patience… cause from what I’ve heard I’d be throwing hands every time I clock in to work😂😂😂 I can’t give you the details but long story short… be nice to TSA. Their job is already hard enough. I’m looking forward to our next session because I know I’m gonna hear the craziest stories told nonchalantly😂 that job is insanei
