Getting tattooed by Jeff is an awesome experience. Not only does he do great work but his personality and attitude make the entire experience as enjoyable as possible. He's done a ton of my work and will be doing lots more in the future.

As with all things, you usually get what you pay for. Tattoos are the epitome of this. Come on, people. This is permanent. Art. On. Your. Skin. Forever. Jeff has been my tattoo artist for about 8 years. The work we have done together is nothing short of perfect. I go in with an idea and he creates a custom piece of art for me based on what we've discussed, my personality, placement on my body (he designs around curves and angles). He's an artist, through and through. And not just a tattoo artist. He has his BSN from UNLV in illustration (?) and painting. (Or something similar.) Regardless, I trust his work and his vision. We are currently working on a half sleeve, which to me is a huge commitment. The large back piece we did years ago was huge and detailed, but still can easily be covered. For this more public piece, I knew Jeff and only Jeff could do this for me. I’ve included the back piece he did years back as well as the half-sleeve in its various stages. Also, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. And keep it. Jeff travels and tattoos all across the country. Also, this is not the guy to throw on a piece of flash. If you want true art on your skin, this is your man.

I've been getting work done in NM the better part of 15 years. I'm thrilled to finally have found Jeff as my permanent artist. Not only is he the greatest artist to work on me, he's also the greatest guy. I look forward to our conversations, laughter, etc.. He's helped me rework some trashy tattoos I got as a teenage, giving me back confidence, and has also done a few fresh pieces of his own design. Most recently, this amazing Peruvian pelican I can now call my friend :)
