“While my dream project is a full-body suit, many of my clients are interested in completing a full sleeve, back, or front piece. Whether you’re just beginning your tattoo journey or hoping to bring cohesion to existing tattoos, my goal is to help you create a collection that feels thoughtfully connected. If you’re ready for bold, large-scale designs and are open to collaboration, let’s talk about what we can create together.” -Russ Abbott
