Hi, my name is Nik.

 

I grew up in and around Wisconsin before attending UW Madison and graduating in 2020. I’ve always had an interest in tattoos and those who wear them. My main artistic influences come from history, vintage prints and ads, children’s illustration, and french prison-style tattooing.

 

I especially love blackwork but also enjoy finding ways to be creative with color. In my spare time, I enjoy sewing and leatherwork, which also influences my approach towards design and tattooing. Getting tattooed around the U.S. and Europe, I’ve been inspired by the artists I’ve met and value the connection and experience; I love and care about the process and want to make designs that suit the meaning of each tattoo for every individual.

 

I’m excited to work with you on your ideas and create a tattoo that’s unique and memorable - whether it’s something hard and mean, soft and delicate, or a combination of the two.
