About Colin

I help misunderstood, overlooked, or healing individuals turn their stories into bold, meaningful tattoos. My work blends neotraditional and Japanese influences to create art that flows with your body—and your truth. I didn’t have a blueprint growing up. I was the black sheep who had to carve my own path. Now, I use tattooing to give others what I never had: clarity, confidence, and the armor to show up fully in who they are. If you’re in a season of reclaiming—this is for you. Let’s turn your story into something permanent.

Cover-Up Policy
Accepting cover-ups.
Rescheduling Policy
You may reschedule your appointment once with at least 72 hours’ notice. Anything less will be treated as a cancellation and result in a forfeited deposit. Additional reschedules may require a new deposit. I value your time and mine—please plan accordingly.
Touch-Up Policy
Touch-ups are free within 6 months of your original session if the tattoo heals improperly due to application. Touch-ups needed due to client neglect (sun exposure, picking, poor aftercare) will require an additional fee. Color realism pieces and hand/finger tattoos are not guaranteed.
Other Policies
• Please arrive on time to your appointment. If you are more than 15 minutes late, the session may be canceled and your deposit forfeited. • I do not tolerate disrespect, boundary-pushing, or harassment. You will be banned from future bookings. • If you’re unsure about a concept, design, or placement—please bring it up during your consultation. • No guests unless pre-approved. Tattooing requires full focus and privacy.
