My approach to portraits is all about capturing the essence of the person while staying true to the principles of art and tattooing. I focus on simplifying visual details into what I call “moments,” highlighting them with softness to achieve a vintage feel. By carefully balancing the boldness of traditional tattooing with the subtlety of black and grey, I create tattoos that are strong and enduring yet carry the impression of realism. Up close, you’ll see that it’s not about looking “real,” but about conveying life and character.
