hi,im mick

I am a professional tattoo artist practicing out of San Francisco, CA, and Santa Cruz, CA. Originally from Santa Cruz, I have been drawing and studying a variety of art mediums since early childhood.

I went to college at Academy of Art University, and during that time I became fascinated with San Francisco’s tattoo subculture. Getting tattooed allowed me to express my love for art in a permanent way, and gave me the strength to guide my body through the art of experiencing pain- much like the art of living. After working in the fashion industry for several years and building my tattoo illustration skills behind closed doors, In 2023 I made the best decision of my life and began my apprenticeship.

I have now been tattooing professionally for 2.5 years and under the guidance of several amazing artists I have developed a detail oriented, diverse skillset that continues to grow and expand. My favorite styles to work in are traditional, fine line black and grey, lettering and script. I also love to create custom tattoo designs for my clients and am open to taking on projects big or small. It is always my goal to provide top-tier customer service to my clients and make sure they leave happier than when they walked in, every body is welcome in my chair.

I have always been intrigued by the macabre, undoubtably I know that is what brought me into this field. Which is why I am happy to provide you with the only purchase you’ll take to the grave, a new tattoo.
