Chay Menke

American Traditional and Black & Grey. No flash, ever.

Chay works exclusively on custom pieces, taking time with each client to transform their ideas into refined, one-of-a-kind designs. Every project starts with a conversation and ends with a tattoo built specifically for you.

Book a consultation to get started; bring references, ideas, or just a feeling you want on skin.
