Details

Using advanced design techniques and digital tools, Russ crafts tattoos that are tailored to the natural flow of the body. His approach allows clients to see exactly how their tattoo will look before the needle ever touches skin. Collectors appreciate his use of color, applied boldly and with tattoo longevity in mind. Russ is known for color, but he takes on just as much large-scale black and gray wash. Wash holds its contrast as it settles into the skin, which matters more than most people realize on a piece that covers a full back or sleeve.

Russ primarily focuses on large-scale tattoo projects such as full arm and leg sleeves, backs, and full fronts. Occasionally, he will take on smaller projects for returning clients or unique concepts that align with his artistic style.
