About Thad
Thad’s approach to tattooing is rooted in collaboration. He enjoys the consultation process because it often reveals the strongest version of an idea — the unexpected direction that makes a tattoo feel personal and complete.
His work ranges widely in subject matter, but remains consistent in its use of contrast, texture, depth, and detail. Whether creating a pet portrait, wildlife tattoo, surreal concept, or large-scale black and grey piece, Thad’s goal is to create tattoos that feel intentional and meaningful to the person wearing them.
