Master Artist | Black & Gray Realism | Dark Art & Surrealism Specialist

This artist’s journey into the craft began with the ultimate test of commitment: tattooing themselves. Originally from New York, they eventually transitioned from a self-taught start to a formal apprenticeship under “Kid” at Sin City. Now with eight years of professional experience, they bring a grit-meets-precision aesthetic to the Inked Las Vegas team.

Specializing in Black & Gray Realism and Blackwork, their artistic philosophy is a sophisticated blend of surrealism with a Neo-Traditional blackwork twist. Their work is deeply influenced by the atmospheric tension of old horror movies and the rich, visceral textures of dark art oil painters. They have become a go-to specialist for “demonic girl” portraits, highlighted by a massive, custom back piece that stands as a landmark project in their career. This dark aesthetic is further refined by their travels through Germany, an experience that heavily shaped their current stylistic approach.

When they aren’t at the studio, they stay connected to the fine arts through oil painting and sculpting. While their portfolio often leans into the macabre, clients often find that they are far “nicer than they look,” bringing a grounded and empathetic energy to every session. This balance of intensity and compassion is best reflected in their most memorable projects, such as a memorial portrait for a client’s late son that provided a powerful moment of emotional closure. A dedicated professional who values originality, they are ready to tackle any creative concept—provided it doesn’t involve a clock.
