“Give me a piece of your skin & I’ll give you part of my soul”
After almost 20 years tattooing around the world, I’ve learned that real art isn’t about fitting into a label. My style is freestyle — it’s fluid, evolving, and limitless. I don’t create within boundaries. I create what feels right.
Started with a simple idea: a butterfly.
Then she trusted the process and gave me full creative freedom for the rest.
Two consecutive days.
Saskatchewan to Edmonton.
A full commitment to creating something custom
Day 2 of this two-day outer sleeve.
After finishing the upper section on day one, we move lower on the arm for a reason. Gravity pulls swelling and fluids downward, so starting at the top first helps manage inflammation and makes the healing process much easier on the client.
We start around the elbow area and work downward. This helps reduce unnecessary pain and discomfort while keeping the skin calmer for the rest of the session.
A lot of people think long sessions are just about “sitting tough.”
In reality, experience is knowing how to work with the body, not against it.
Day 1 of 2 for this custom outer sleeve.
Client drove all the way from Saskatoon to Edmonton to sit through two consecutive days and trust the process from start to finish.
Fresh tattoos impress.
Healed tattoos prove everything.
These close-ups are where the work speaks for itself.
Clarity. Saturation. Control.

Most people want control.
This is what happens when you give it to me.
5 sessions. Fully healed.
Designed as one piece, not a collection of ideas.
That’s why it works.

Huge thanks to my client for sitting like a champ and giving me free reign to make this awesome piece for him.
