Get to Know Scott
What year did you start tattooing?
Officially licensed in 2016.
What style(s) of tattooing do you specialize in?
I like to switch it up. I find that if I tattoo too much of one style I get bored. Lately, I’ve been really enjoying putting an abstract twist on things. I always have fun tattooing imagery that is a little looser/abstract. I’ve always liked mixing smooth and textured shading to create contrast. I do color tattoos, but I’m very selective on which color projects I take on. No watercolor tattoos. I do realism tattoos, but only botanical, or landscape projects. No realism portraits, or color realism.
