Artistry Rooted in Tradition & Detail

Chris’s tattooing reflects a respect for both the old-school foundation of tattoo culture and the evolving precision of modern fine line techniques. His work combines confident, clean outlines and smooth shading, delivering pieces that age beautifully and stand the test of time.

Community-Driven Tattooing

Beyond the chair, Chris is known for using his art to give back.
