I’m a Houston-based tattoo artist at Gnosis Tattoo, specializing in custom work that blends bold composition, strong contrast, and intentional detail. My signature style draws from porcelain, Kintsugi, Japanese wave and floral elements, Pokémon, creatures, anime, and surreal design—combining matte ceramic textures, cobalt-blue pattern work, and gold repair-seam accents into tattoos that feel personal and original.

I enjoy building designs from the ground up rather than simply copying a reference. Whether the idea is a favorite character, a creature, a meaningful concept, or something completely surreal, I focus on turning it into a tattoo that flows with the body and stays readable as it heals and ages.

My work often combines pop culture with fine-art influences, especially through custom Pokémon, anime, manga, comic-inspired, and creature-based tattoos. I also take on black and grey realism, semi-realism, realistic compositions, pin-up character pieces, ornamental work, and larger-scale projects such as sleeves, leg pieces, multi-session work, and full-day sessions.

I believe the best tattoos balance creativity with longevity. That means considering placement, size, skin flow, contrast, and how much detail a design can realistically hold over time. For more detailed concepts, I may recommend a larger scale so the most important elements have room to breathe.

My goal is to create tattoos that feel like wearable art: custom, memorable, and built specifically for the person wearing them. If you have an idea you want to develop—whether it fits my signature porcelain Kintsugi aesthetic or takes a different direction—I’m always open to discussing the project through a consultation
