This is the good stuff. The work that gets my machine buzzin’. It’s the bread and butter, the meat and potatoes, the tried and true backbone of what I do. It’s the style that keeps me genuinely fired up every day. Call it new school, illustrative, or cartoony cartoon style; whatever label you use, this is my favourite zone to work in, and the place where I feel the most dialed in as an artist.

Why are you like this?

This all started way back when I was a kid. I was glued to Saturday morning cartoons, the funny papers, and every sugary cereal box in the commercials. Even then, the colours were what grabbed me first. The neon mascots, the goofy faces, the chaotic type, the stuff designed to hijack a kid’s brain before breakfast. Eventually, that mix of pop culture, comics, and kid marketing brainwashed itself into my style. So, when people say my work looks “animated,” “bold,” or “alive,” it’s because I grew up mainlining that visual noise and never really outgrew it. This style isn’t a trend for me; it’s the foundation.

Bright colours and bold lines aren’t just a preference; they’re the whole point. They hold up over time, they read clearly from across the room, and they hit the skin with actual personality. Moreover, colour lets me push characters, textures, and moods way further than black and grey alone. Besides, a tattoo without colour is like a cake without the icing. Sure, it works, but why settle for “fine” when you can go for the full dessert cart?

These pieces show the kind of work people come to me for again and again. So, if you’re hunting for your favourite character specifically, check out the pop culture tattoo gallery. It’s packed with the icons, mascots, and nostalgia bombs you’re probably looking for. And if you’re one of those people who prefers their tattoos black and grey (or, as I call them, unfinished), there’s a gallery for that too.

This gallery isn’t just a portfolio; it’s a showcase of the style I love doing most. Ultimately, if you’re after bold, weird, vibrant tattoos that stand out and actually last, you’re in the right place.
