Welcome to the Shadow and Needle Tattoo Gallery

A curated collection of my recent work, each piece designed to tell a story and mark a moment.

I specialize in: Fine line tattoos with delicate, intricate detail | Dark gothic designs with moody, symbolic imagery | Neotraditional work blending bold shapes with ornamental detail | Abstract and pattern-based tattoos with flow and movement | Flash pieces — pre-drawn designs, each unique and never repeated

All tattoos are created in my private, fully licensed home studio in Lake Forest Park, WA. Every line is intentional, every design tailored to the client.
