About Gabriel

I was born and raised in Lansing, and I have been drawing on things since I could hold a pencil. I came to tattooing in 2023 out of a self taught background in painting and drafting. Most of what I do is Black & Grey and fine-line realism, and I am working my way into color realism and American Traditional.

Tattooing is my second act. I studied International Relations at Northern Michigan University and spent my summers in Montana as a wildland firefighter. Covid cut school short, and after my last season out west I came home and worked as an EMT. An injury took that off the table, and in 2023 I picked up a machine instead. That is the one that stuck.

I have been growing and learning ever since. I love the work and I love the people, so reach out, or better yet, come in and have a chat.
