The Artists
Tattoos by Hoss
Tattooing is more than just putting ink on skin for me—it’s about creating something that fits the person wearing it and giving them a piece they’ll be proud to carry for life. I enjoy working in a variety of styles, including script and lettering, American Traditional, Neo-Traditional, bold-line work, and full-color pieces. Lately, I’ve also been diving deeper into black & grey tattooing, especially nature-inspired pieces featuring wildlife, the outdoors, and rugged scenery. I’m a big fan of bold, clean lines, strong contrast, and tattoos that are built to stand out and hold up over time. Whether you already know exactly what you want or just have an idea you want brought to life, I enjoy working with my clients to create something that feels like their own. If you’re looking for your next piece, come see me and let’s put some ink down. — Hoss
Avien is a versatile tattoo artist with a deep love for black and white realism. His work focuses on bold contrast, smooth shading, and fine detail that makes every piece feel alive on the skin. While realism is his favorite lane, he’s truly a jack of all styles. Avien is just as comfortable building powerful Japanese compositions as he is crafting clean, timeless traditional designs. He also excels at large script, fine line work, and high‑contrast pieces that read clearly from across the room. Whether you’re after a soft, subtle black and grey portrait or a striking, graphic design with sharp edges and depth, Avien approaches every tattoo with the same level of care, planning, and precision so your piece heals beautifully and holds up for years.
