DAMN ZIPPY
“You’re going to like the way you look, I guarantee it”
- Damn Zippy
I have been tattooing for over 6 years, but I have been drawing since I can remember. I have also been an over-excitable dork since I’ve been born. I have found that my favorite thing to do with my art is to have fun - and what evokes that for me is cartoons and movies from the 80’s and 90’s, kids stuff, bright colors, bold lines, but also looking a little deeper, weirder, and perhaps trippier into the things that bring us joy and comfort. I love traditional tattooing, but I cant help but put my spin on it.
It has always been so important to me that my clients feel comfortable and empowered through the whole tattoo process, and that they walk away with a smile and a sick ass bod mod.
FUN FACTS
BLACK & GREY
I am always pumped to work on color tattoos, but I am also SO DOWN to zap you using only black and grey
GIVE ME ALL THE EYEBALLS
One of my favorite subject matter ideas is ANY inanimate object… but with eyeballs… or a whole face!
BACK TO CHILDHOOD
Ideas that come from illustrations in childrens’ books (or even drawings by kids themselves) ALWAYS make good tattoos!
Collaboration is my favorite!
