Custom Drawings
I love taking on custom projects that inspire me as an artist. When you submit your request, we’ll chat via email to discuss your idea in more detail.
We'll review your custom design together at your appointment. Small changes are totally fine on the day of. However, if you have any major changes that weren’t discussed beforehand, it might impact your deposit.

Your Tattoo
Resting in a sacred space
As fire rages around him, shadows of passing bodies trick David’s imagination. Interpretations of these shadows flow out of him as a squall builds somewhere in the distance and waves crash against the ancient shore behind.

About
David closes his eyes and sees black-sand beaches, grey oceans, grey skies, the sound of wind twisting through trees and rocks and deep-green grasses scattered with mossy bones. Strange stone houses rise from the grassy fields that lead up to the white-tipped mountains in the distance. Howling is often heard in dark and far-away places long after the bonfires have died.When he opens them again, he is in an armless leather chair in a bright-white tattoo studio, his machine humming in his hand. He relaxes his shoulders and takes a deep breath before he begins His Work. He has been doing this since 2012.
David draws. With black ink and hundreds of lines he shapes the natural world: bones, snakes, plants, antlers, and horns. He loves all types of animals, most insects, and always loves drawing the human figure. His Work blends people and nature bringing out a unique magick. He has been a student of art since 2000.
It’s said that he once rolled a twenty-sided-die, a critical success, and now lives with his partner: Tina Poe and their maybe-a-cat/ maybe-a-monster child-pet Mojito Poe. He has worked at her Tattoo Studio in Austin, Texas, called Moon Tattoo, since it opened in 2016. His house is filled with plants and bones and the firepit in the yard is always full of wood.
