Hyper-Realistic Tattoos That Feel Unreal
Color Realism and Surrealism Crafted as Custom Body Art
​
I am a professional tattoo artist with 7 years of hands-on experience and a background of approximately 12,000 tattoos executed across a wide range of styles.
Throughout my career, I have worked with multiple techniques, formats, and artistic approaches, developing a solid technical foundation that allows me to execute any tattoo style with confidence and precision.
In the past year, I made a deliberate decision to specialize in color realism and surrealism, focusing exclusively on complex, large-scale, custom projects that demand advanced planning, refined color control, and a deep understanding of how tattoos age over time.
My current work centers on high-detail compositions designed specifically for each client’s anatomy, skin characteristics, and long-term durability. Color selection, contrast management, depth, and structure are carefully engineered to maintain clarity and visual impact years after healing.
I work through a selective, consultation-based process, prioritizing quality, longevity, and artistic integrity over volume or trends.

Recognized Expertise in Color Realism Tattoos
Color realism tattooing requires more than technical ability. It demands a deep understanding of color theory, skin tones, pigment behavior, and how tattoos age over time.
I specialize in large-scale color realism tattoos, including sleeves, back pieces, thighs, and multi-session projects where durability and readability are essential.
My approach prioritizes quality over quantity, allowing me to focus on fewer projects with a higher level of execution and consistency. The goal is to create tattoos that continue to look strong and balanced for years, not just immediately after completion.
Custom Tattoo Process
Private Tattoo Consultation
Every project begins with a one-on-one consultation to discuss your idea, references, placement, size, and expectations. This step ensures the design fits your anatomy naturally and translates correctly to skin.
Fully Custom Tattoo Design
All tattoo designs are created from scratch. I do not reuse designs or apply generic templates.
Each composition is carefully planned to optimize flow, contrast, color saturation, depth, and long-term clarity.
Professional Execution
Tattoos are applied using professional equipment and advanced techniques, with a strong focus on clean saturation, smooth gradients, controlled layering, and skin health.
Large-scale projects are approached methodically across multiple sessions when necessary, without rushing the process.
Healing and Longevity
You receive clear aftercare guidance to support proper healing and preserve the quality of your tattoo over time. A professional tattoo is designed not only to heal well, but to age well.
