Close to two decades behind the machine, and I’m more hungry for this craft now than I’ve ever been.
Black & grey realism wasn’t always something I loved. I could do it, but it never really lit a fire under me. Then I started pushing it.
Better contrast, smoother transitions, stronger compositions, more depth. The better I got, the more I wanted to see how far I could take it.Somewhere in that pursuit, something I used to simply be good at became something I fucking love now.
Almost 20 years in, and there’s still no finish line. There’s always another level. And I’m still chasing it.
And just so nobody gets it twisted
color will always be my first love. I’ve been lucky enough to do some incredible color work over the years, and I’ll never stop appreciating the people who trusted me with it. I still love doing it, and I’ll gladly keep taking it on.
Right now, I’m just really fucking enjoying seeing how far I can push my black & grey.

NEW SESSION OPTIONS
Beginning September 1

3-HOUR SESSION — $600
6-HOUR SESSION — $1,100

I know tattoos have become harder for many people to afford with today’s cost of living.

I’ve also noticed that most clients—and their skin—reach their limit at around six hours, even when an eight-hour appointment is booked.

If we reach six hours and the project isn’t at a good stopping point, we can continue at $200 per additional hour—as long as you and your skin are still doing well.

Same custom work.
Same attention to detail.
More practical appointment lengths.

Reserved session rates are not banked hours.
Deposits are required to book. by @paid_dewz_tattoos

Always cool watching a piece go from an idea on the skin to the finished tattoo. Super stoked with how this one came together.

Super stoked with how this one came out! Had a lot of fun putting this piece together and really happy with how everything flowed and came together. Thanks for the trust and for sitting like a champ!

Added Jesus to this Saint Michael sleeve. Really happy with how the expression, crown of thorns, and contrast came together on this one. 🖤 Who else loves religious realism?

That moment when the stencil stops being a stencil. 🔥
His rifle. A coyote. A little meaning behind both. Then I get to do what I do. Black & grey. Smooth. Clean. Built to wear.
Made at the 2026 Inkfest.

"...And Justice for All."
One of the most recognizable album covers in metal history.
Lady Justice bound by chains, the scales tipping under the weight of corruption, an image that's just as powerful today as it was when Metallica released the album.
Had a blast bringing this one to life. Thanks for trusting me with it.

Always taking on new projects.
Message me with any inquiries!

Some battles aren’t fought on the ground.
Heaven above. Strength below.
A piece built around faith, struggle, and the fight between light and darkness.
Really enjoyed bringing this one to life.

Really happy to finally call this one finished. 🙌
A memorial piece for her father, built around faith, family, and the outdoors. Everything you see is fully healed except for the flowers, which we finished up today.
There’s something special about seeing a piece like this come together over multiple sessions, especially when it carries this much meaning.
Thank you for trusting me with something this personal. 🖤

Work in progress. 🖤

This piece is still far from finished, but the foundation is officially in. Hooded angel, wings, armor, and a whole lot of black & grey. Next session we’ll keep building out the upper portion and bring the entire piece together.

Can’t wait to see this one finished.

The Last Supper.
13 figures on one arm… because apparently I enjoy making my life difficult. 😂
A lot went into getting this composition to actually work on an arm while keeping Jesus the focal point and giving every figure enough room to read.
Really happy with how this one came together.
If you’ve been thinking about a larger black & grey piece—religious, biblical, or otherwise—shoot me a message. I’d love to do more work like this.
