About the Artist
I don't trace flash. I build color for you.
I specialize exclusively in color tattoos: illustrative, neo-traditional, and American traditional work built on bold, saturated palettes.
I want to understand what you're picturing, what inspires you, and how you want it to read on skin, so I can turn it into a piece designed specifically for you that ages well and holds its color.
Bring reference photos, a mood board, or just an idea you can't quite explain yet. My job is to take all of that and turn it into a piece that actually works on your body.
Your Experience
A private studio, dialed in for you.
The Details
By appointment only.
I tattoo strictly by appointment in Ogden, Utah: a private space where we focus completely on your piece, no walk-ins and no interruptions.

The Work, Up Close
See how color holds up on skin.
There's no better way to judge color saturation than seeing it up close, fresh and healed. Look at the linework, the blending, and how each palette sits on the body.

Frequently Asked Questions
Don't see your question here? Text the studio and we'll answer it before you book your consult.
Does the video consultation cost anything?
No. The 20-minute video consult is completely free with no commitment. It's the time we use to hear your idea, answer your questions, and figure out how to bring your color tattoo to life.
Do I need to have my design ready for the consult?
No. You don't need to show up with a finished design. Come with an idea, a few references, or just something you want represented, and we'll shape it together.
Can I bring references from Instagram or Pinterest?
Yes. References help us understand what you like. That said, we don't copy other artists' tattoos — we use your references as a starting point to design something custom for you.
Do you only tattoo in color?
Color is my main focus — illustrative, neo-traditional, and American traditional — sometimes paired with black & grey shading for depth and contrast.
Where is the studio located?
The studio is in Ogden, Utah, and I work strictly by appointment. If you're traveling in from out of state, we can plan your visit in advance.
How much does a tattoo cost?
Pricing depends on the project: size, level of detail, color complexity, placement, and time required. We talk through scope and budget during the consult.
Does booking a consult guarantee an appointment?
No. The consult is no-commitment. We talk through your project first, and if we're both a good fit to move forward, we lock in your session.
Does color tattooing fade over time?
Done well and cared for properly, color tattoos hold their saturation for years. I work pigment layering and skin depth with long-term color retention in mind.
What happens after the consult?
If we decide to move forward, we lock in next steps, schedule your session, and I start developing your custom color design.
Reviews
What clients say after getting tattooed.
“I wanted a color piece with real depth and was worried it'd end up looking flat. The saturation and shading are on another level. Worth every dollar.”
“The private consult completely changed my concept for the better. They didn't sell me a design, they designed something that only makes sense on me.”
“Drove in from Salt Lake City just for this studio. The cleanliness, the vibe, and the result made the trip completely worth it.”
