Custom Tattoos

I make every custom piece from scratch — no templates, no recycled designs. Custom work is the foundation of everything I do. Come in with references, a concept, or just a feeling, and I'll build something made specifically for you.

Black & Grey Realism Tattoos

This is where my technical range really shows. Wildlife, landscapes, portraiture, atmospheric scenes — I build black and grey work with depth, patience, and an eye for even the smallest details.

Bold Color & Illustration Tattoos

Anime, pop culture, gaming, florals, characters — I bring color work to life with clean, confident linework and full, rich saturation.

Neo-Traditional Tattoos

Structured, graphic, and bold. My neo-traditional work pulls from classic tattooing while staying distinctly modern — strong lines, confident shading, and compositions built to hold up for decades.

Tattoo Reworks & Cover-Ups

Not every tattoo ages the way you hoped. I actually enjoy the challenge of cover-ups — I'll be honest with you about what's possible, and then build something you'll you genuinely love.

  • "Chris Nelson is a true artist. His attention to detail is insane and he's so creative! I had a complicated cover-up and it came out so much better than I ever could have imagined. I was nervous I'd still be able to see where it was and would regret not getting tattoo removal but I'm so glad I went to Chris and was able to leave with a tattoo I genuinely love. I can't even tell there was ever another tattoo there. I literally couldn't recommend him more.

  • "Chris Nelson is literally amazing. Not only is he INCREDIBLY talented, he was extremely accommodating, great vibes, and took his time on both our pieces. Our tattoos are just so cool and detailed. I can’t recommend him enough

    Tina, Former Customer
