Gifford Kasen

Call it abstract, ornamental, or biomechanical. To Gifford the label on the style doesn’t matter so much as that the design sucks you in and makes you want to explore it on the body, that of becomes an extension of the body. Gifford has been pushing his unique style of large concept tattooing for the last 20 years, consistently trying to find a fresh voice in his work. He has worked at and owned his studio in Chicago since 2014

Artist Styles - Biomechanical, Blackwork, Cover Up, Floral, Illustrative
Specialties - 135, Melanated Skin Expertise, Scar Covering / Trauma-affected Areas, Tattooing Over Freckles / Birthmarks
