I specialize in black and grey realistic tattooing, creating custom designs that bring your idea to life. I take pride in meaningful work that lasts and making the experience just as solid as the art. If that sparked a tattoo idea, follow @bennygtattoo or stop by the booth. I’m always down to talk story and plan your next piece.
