Read MoreBoise-born artist with 10+ years of experience specializing in high-contrast black & grey tattoos built to last.
I’m a Boise-born tattoo artist with 10 years of experience, specializing in high-contrast black & grey work built to last. I learned how to tattoo in prison, where everything had to be done the hard way — no shortcuts, no room for mistakes. That foundation shaped how I work today: clean, bold, and built to hold up over time. My style blends realism with custom design, leaning into darker, more gothic pieces that flow with the body. I focus on full coverage work — no patchwork, just cohesive designs that take over an area the right way. “I don’t cover tattoos, I replace them.” I’m known for cover-ups that fully transform old tattoos — not just hiding them, but replacing them with something you’d never know was there before. I also enjoy doing anime pieces, especially when I can push them with strong contrast and clean linework so they hit just as hard as my realism work. If you want something that looks good now and still hits years down the line, that’s what I do.

FAQ
How do you price tattoos?
We price by the piece — not by the hour. Size, detail, color, and placement all factor in. Come in for a free consultation and we'll give you a fair quote.
Do you accept walk-ins?
Absolutely. Walk-ins are always welcome during business hours. First come, first served.
How do I prepare for my appointment?
Stay hydrated, eat a full meal beforehand, wear comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being tattooed, and get a good night's sleep.
What is your aftercare process?
We'll walk you through everything after your session and provide comprehensive aftercare instructions. We also carry all-natural aftercare products in-shop.
Do you offer payment plans?
Contact us directly at (208) 605-2943 to discuss payment options and arrangements.
What if I'm nervous about pain?
We carry professional-grade numbing cream. Just ask your artist before your session — we want you comfortable.

All piercings are done by trained professionals using sterile, single-use equipment. Jewelry is included in the service price.
