For 40 years, I have seen the evolution of the tattoo industry and developed many close relationships along the way. One of the most rewarding experience as a tattoo artist is working with families within three generations. It is great to be able to see parents, which I have tattooed, watch their child get their first tattoo and then their grandchild.

There is a deeper connection with tattoos which represents how we feel. They have become a way to share stories and are a form of self-expression. For years at Tattoo Consortium, we are able to be a part of people’s special occasion or life-changing event. We have tattooed many that expressed their:
- creative side
- wild side
- art that has helped them heal from the trauma
- remind them of their strength
- relationships, past and present
- culture
- religion
- Invest in Self

As tattoo artists, we love the stories and to be challenged. Many of our clients have a bond mutually exclusive to our artists, having over 20 hours of ink done by us. We have worked on many tattoo styles over the years that not only expresses the person being tattooed but also the artist skillset and creativity:
- Traditional & Old School Tattoo
- Neo Traditional Tattoo
- Tribal Tattoo
- Watercolor Tattoo
- Blackwork Tattoo
- Realism Tattoo
- Trash Polka Tattoo
