Healed Work
A color tattoo is only as good as how it heals. Everything here is fully settled, months to years after the session. The elephant below is seven years in and Kylo is four. I want you to see what my work looks like long after the fresh photo.
Seven Years Healed
I tattooed this galaxy elephant in New York on a client from the West Coast. Seven years later I ran into her, completely by chance, at a music festival in Austin. The blues, the purples and the star burst all held.

Why Healed Results Matter
A tattoo isn't finished when you leave my chair. It's finished once it's healed, settled, and has lived through sun, movement and time.
That's why I pack color in fully, plan the contrast, and design for where the piece sits on the body. You get clean separation between elements, color that doesn't turn muddy, and a design that still reads years later.
