The artist
Built around your story.
I’m James, a custom tattoo and body piercing artist working in Brooklyn. I turn your references, meaning and personal style into work that feels unmistakably yours.
From black and grey realism to clean piercings, every piece is created with detail and intention—never rushed, never generic.
