About Jeff

Experienced

I have 11+ years of experience. I served a 2 year intensive tattoo apprenticeship at one of San Francisco's most historic and oldest tattoo studios.

I learned a comprehensive understanding of the complete craft of tattooing and shop management.

The countless hours of crafting my own tools and refining my design approach shows itself in the quality of my work.

I have spent my 11 years of tattooing working in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Santa Rosa, Petaluma, and now San Rafael. I have been lucky enough to be able to surround myself with and work side by side with the bay area's finest tattoo artists, in the most reputable shops in those areas. That exposure has helped me elevate my craft to the highest standards.

Discerning

My tattoo style speaks to the traditions and look of classic american tattooing with a refined approach and appeal. My tattoos are built on a foundation of fine shading and crisp, bold line work. Designs stand out with fine black and grey, colors and textures. I personalize popular motifs with patterns, unique accents, and custom details.

Friendly

I want people to be comfortable with my process. I understand that approaching your tattoo can be a daunting and often intimidating experience and I aim to create an open and comfortable atmosphere.
