A West Virginia native with over a decade of tattooing, 1,000+ completed pieces, and the same drive on every single one.
"I'm Andy — a tattoo artist based out of Elkview, WV. I've been doing this for over a decade, and I still approach every single piece the same way I did on day one: like it's the most important tattoo I'll ever do."
"My roots are in traditional tattooing — bold lines, solid fills, timeless designs built to last. From there I pushed into black & grey realism, blackout work, freehand designs drawn directly on the body, and cover-ups that other artists said couldn't be fixed."
"I don't rush, I don't cut corners, and I don't put my name on work I'm not proud of."
A broad range of styles, all executed with the same precision and care.
Portraits, wildlife, and memorial pieces with stunning depth and photorealistic detail.
Bold solid coverage and intricate blackwork patterns for dramatic, graphic impact.
Drawn directly on the body, flowing naturally with your unique anatomy — never a copy.
My roots. Bold lines, solid fills, timeless iconography built to last and age beautifully.
Traditional Japanese motifs and detailed botanical work — peonies, koi, dragons, chrysanthemums.
Cover-ups other artists said couldn't be fixed. Honest, creative, and guaranteed to impress.
The principles behind every piece that leaves this studio.
Every piece gets the time it deserves. No clock-watching, no shortcuts — just the work.
If your idea won't work or needs adjustment, Andy will tell you — and offer a better solution.
Techniques and inks chosen for how they'll look in 20 years — not just walking out the door.
Sterile, single-use equipment. A spotless environment. Your health is never negotiable.
No flash sheets, no copies. Every design is created specifically for you and you alone.
"I don't put my name on work I'm not proud of." That standard never changes.
