Stephen takes different elements and combines them together to give a 1 of a kind artistic design to tattoos. Mixing comics, Disney, anime with trash polka, insignia, and watercolor allow him to deliver what he calls "Anime Trash". He is always welcoming and understanding and won't break your wallet to bring quality work you'll appreciate for years to come. I combine elements from different styles to make my own style.

Stephen did my Toji from Jujutsu Kaisen and the detail on the scar and shading is insane. He really focuses on getting the expression right. Didn’t feel rushed at all.

Stephen was really patient and explained the whole process before starting. I never felt rushed and he checked in during the session. Made it a good first tattoo experience.

You don’t need to have every detail figured out before reaching out. If you have a character, series, scene, placement, or even just a rough idea you’ve been sitting on, send it over.
I’m looking through submissions for projects that fit the kind of work I’m excited to create. If yours feels like a good match, my booking team will reach out, talk through the idea with you, and explain everything before you decide to book.
