Every body deserves art,
no matter the size or tone.

Below are some examples of tattoos I’ve done on melanated skin tones. I have done extensive research on tattoos in relation to darker skin tones and have a very good sense of color theory from years of fine art study.

In my opinion, tattooing should always complement the body, and that goes beyond just placement. It includes taking into account the existing tones and shades to make a design that looks beautiful and legible no matter the amount of melanin present.

I continue to study not only how to mindfully design for every client, but also how to make sure my photos convey true color and tones. This is something I know I have more work to do on, but it is a priority.
