I found Kel on Instagram and immediately fell in love with his detail and dot work. His precision and artistry really stood out to me. He first did a back cover-up for me, and I was blown away by how seamlessly he transformed it into something I’m truly proud to wear. Most recently, he completed a half sleeve for me, and once again exceeded my expectations. Kel is not only incredibly talented, but also professional, patient, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. I can’t recommend him enough if you’re looking for detailed, high-quality work that you’ll love for years to come.
Kel did my first two tattoos, and the experience was fire from start to finish. I had a lot of ideas that were all over the place, and he took the time to understand what I was really going for and created designs that were better than anything I was picturing in my head. He explained the process so I knew how to prep, what to look forward to during my appointment, and how to properly clean everything afterwards for best results. I didn't expect that because he looks like a burly guy, but he was patient, communicative, and goodhearted. He's a great guy and an even better artist. If you're nervous about how and where to get started, go to Kel. If you're looking for a high quality tattoo that you'll be proud of the rest of your life, go to Kel. If you're searching for answers about astrophysics, go to school, but if you later want a tattoo that illustrates the higher concepts of what you learned about astrophysics that is eye catching and still sings to your inner soul ... go to Kel.
Kel gave me my first tattoos — large, realistic butterflies going up my back — and the experience could not have been better. From the first session to the second, he made me feel completely comfortable and respected. As a woman, that matters so much, and I never once felt uneasy in his shop. His technique is incredible. I was expecting it to hurt way more, but his hand is so light I was literally trying not to giggle at certain points. And the butterflies? They are stunning. The detail, the softness, the way they flow up my back — they’re everything I hoped for and more. I trusted him with something big and meaningful, and he absolutely delivered. So grateful. I cannot wait to return for my third session with him.
Quick and painless is how I would describe my session. Kel was very professional and open in making any last minute changes to the design. His skill shows in the attention to detail and how quickly my tattoo healed. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an artist in the area!
Kel got straight to work and created the perfect piece without any reformatting - it was amazing and seamless! He has a great hand and does absolutely fantastic work. 10/10 would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a high quality piece that will last a lifetime
Super professional, Kel does not mess around. Studio was awesome and my tattoo is insane!!!!
