I specialize in a variety of popular Tattoo Styles and can design customized work that will meet just about any of your design preferences.
Tattoos may be simple decorations, symbolic in nature, or even a depiction of a specific person, place or thing. The popular tattoo styles described below are areas where I have focused over my 25+ year career as a professional tattooer. Click the menus below to learn about each style and see examples of how finished pieces look when inked on skin. I’m confident that you will find a design that reflects your individuality, conveys your personality and is truly one of a kind.
This invention of Eduardo 'Duda' Lozano, a Sao Paolo-based Brazilian tattoo artist, is aptly named embroidery tattoo. There's no actual embroidery involved, but the way they're drawn onto skin mimics the cross-stitch texture of embroidered fabric.
Generally referred to as Irezumi or Wabori, this style of tattoo was traditional done by hand using needles fastened to bamboo sticks, and is referred to as Tebori which means hand carved or engraved. Japanese tattoos either cover the whole arm, the chest or the back.
Black-and-gray is sometimes referred to as "jailhouse" or "joint style" and is thought to have originated in prisons where inmates had limited access to different materials. This technique revolves around diluting black ink to achieve smooth shading.
New School tattoos use bright colors, 3D effects, and sometimes a graffiti style. They're the broadest and least strict of all tattoo styles and may have cartoonish elements and include pop culture references.
Traditional tattoos are a popular style that feature bold lines and bright colors. This tattoo style can include stereotypical designs such as crosses, skulls, and anchors. Traditional tattoos have maintained their popularity for a reason: they are stunningly beautiful and timeless.
A tattoo cover-up is the act of tattooing over a previously unwanted tattoo with a new tattoo. It is usually seen as being one of two options of removing an unwanted tattoo; the other option being laser removal. A cover-up is generally cheaper than a complete tattoo removal.
I already had 3 tattoos from various artists but all were in easily hidden locations (hip, foot, inner bicep). I have been dreaming about a collection of forest creatures on my arm since I was 15. I have known Wes for 3 years and after a few discussions about my vision I knew I could trust him. He was just as excited and super helpful with ideas. So far, he has tattooed a frog, daisies, snail, mushrooms, butterfly, Luna moth, and a wrist bracelet of leaves. Wish I could attach a video so you could see the whole sleeve but pictures are attached. I wanted black outlines with peppering shading for a light tattoo feel. There is still more to come but he is hands down the best artist I have had so far and will not be going anywhere else! Thank you Wes!!!
Went there for my very first tattoo and it was an awesome experience! Very friendly! Wes did my tattoo and made the experience awesome. I like how when he finished he stated,” Welcome to your new addiction.” 😂 I’m already planning another tattoo! My sister went with me and she stated that she will definitely go back there to get her tattoo. Thank you Wes for making it the best experience ever!
Wes is an amazing artist I'm happy with my seventh tattoo I got done of my family crest . And I'm happy about him redoing my dream Catcher that I have for over 10+ years . And I can't wait to see him in November for my Anubis tattoo that I will be getting on my right upper leg .
