Ocean Hardy

I have been tattooing since 2001. My career started in LA and after 4 years of tattooing i decided to attend Academy of Art University in San Francisco. After receiving my Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art I spent the next several years working between the Bay Area and LA. Currently I am working at Invictus Tattoo in Vallejo, CA and Old Crow Tattoo in Berkeley. My work is described as abstract realism. In order to create truly unique tattoos that fit the body well, I alter realistic images with abstract shapes and textures. Currently a bulk of my work is done in black and grey but I am open to color on certain occasions.
