While the majority of the work I do is large scale, with each piece taking multiple sessions, I also absolutely love to make tattoos in a single sitting. Whether it takes me 3 hours or a year or more of staggered appointments, every tattoo is treated equally as important and with an equal amount of prep, thought and love. I put my all into every single piece I make.

The tattoos pictured have all taken me anywhere from 3 hours to 10 hours.

Always down for one hitters!! Let’s do more!

One solid fact about all of our artists here at Kapala is that if they’re not tattooing, they are constantly working on their art. 🎨

Whether it’s drawing for an upcoming appointment, painting a new sheet, or just getting their newest concept out of their head and onto paper. Our resident artists put in consistent hands on work with their art practices. 🙏

All of our artists are currently accepting clients and appointments. If you have any inquiries, please call the shop so we may assist you!
