A kraken dragging a boat into the depths, brought to life in a neo-traditional tattoo. Swipe to compare the fresh piece with how it settled into the skin.

As a Sacramento tattoo artist, I love showing both sides of the process—the day we finish and the artwork you live with.

Which version catches your eye: fresh or healed? 👇

Slide for process and photos! ➡️
This koi has a home—and now a place on its owner’s skin. 🎏

My client asked me to tattoo a portrait of the actual koi he keeps at home. A personal connection brought to life through my Japanese-inspired neotraditional style.

Selective color, muted greys, and bold lines give this koi fish tattoo its character. Every piece starts with a story. This one happens to swim.

What animal would you turn into a tattoo—and would you choose color, black and grey, or a mix? 👇

A face full of rage, with a story of heartbreak behind it.

That tension is what draws me to the Hannya—fierce and haunting, yet full of human emotion. Bringing that expression into a tattoo is about making every line count.

My take on a Japanese classic, through a neotraditional lens.

Healed japanese inspired storm trooper. One of my favorite pieces so far!

Daruma foot I did for @allyvanhorn to almost finis

Daruma foot I did for @allyvanhorn to almost finish her leg.
The Legend of Daruma: The Ultimate Symbol of Grit 💀🔥
That round, intense little Japanese doll on your feed isn’t just a cool design—it represents a 5th-century monk named Bodhidharma (the founder of Zen) who possessed terrifying willpower.
According to legend, he achieved enlightenment through pure, unadulterated resilience:
👉 No Arms, No Legs: He meditated facing a cave wall for nine straight years. Because he never moved, his limbs literally withered and fell away.
👉 The Unblinking Stare: When he accidentally nodded off during year seven, he was so furious at his own weakness that he cut off his own eyelids so he’d never sleep again. Where they hit the ground, the first green tea plants grew.
This is why traditional Daruma dolls are limbless, wide-eyed, and heavily weighted at the bottom. No matter how many times you knock a Daruma over, it swings right back upright.
It’s the literal embodiment of the Japanese proverb:
“Nana korobi ya oki” — Fall seven times, stand up eight.
How the ritual works:
1️⃣ Buy a Daruma with blank white eyes.
2️⃣ Set a massive goal and paint the left eye to mark your commitment.
3️⃣ Put it where it stares at you daily—a constant reminder that your work is unfinished.
4️⃣ Grind until you win, then paint the right eye to celebrate the victory.
Drop a 👁️ if you’re working on a vision right now.

Midnight in the garden of good fortune. 🌙✨
Brought together three classic icons of luck and resilience—the Maneki-neko (Lucky Cat), a golden fish (Kingyo), and a traditional pagoda—all set against a moody, nocturnal backdrop. Love using deep blues and heavy contrasts to make those bright golds and reds absolutely pop.

In maritime lore, tattooing a rooster on one foot and a pig on the other was a sailor’s ultimate charm against drowning—neither animal can swim, so superstition says they’ll get you back to dry land fast.
Loved bringing this classic nautical tradition to life in a bold, neotraditional style. Swipe to see the details!
