James has been tattooing in Philadelphia since 2017

Starting as an apprentice at a walk in shop in Kensington then Fishtown and now South Street. His combined experiences and the people who he has learned from influenced his style and respect for the craft of tattooing.

He is proficient in many styles from traditional to fine line and everything in between, but black and grey realism is his true passion. Anything from portraits and sculptures, to roses and wildlife, James has you covered.

When he isn’t in the shop, he enjoys spending that time with his family.
