Custom Tattoo Art
I create original tattoo artwork tailored to your ideas and style. I believe the experience is just as important as the art, and you deserve the best.
Custom Design Consultation
Custom Design Consultation
Start with a focused planning session to shape your concept into a tattoo design.
A More Personal Way to Shape Your Tattoo
During this consultation we talk through your ideas, the meaning behind them, and the visual direction you are drawn to. I review your reference images, discuss how the design will flow with the placement on your body, and suggest adjustments that improve balance and longevity. By the end, you leave with a clear creative direction and a sense of what your finished piece will look like.
The session is relaxed and collaborative, with plenty of room for questions. I welcome sketches, half-formed thoughts, and examples you have saved over time. Nothing needs to be finalized before we meet, and the process moves at a pace that feels right for you.
Ideal For
Clients with a concept but no finished sketch
Anyone planning a larger or multi-session piece
People who want to combine several references into one design
First-time clients who want guidance on placement and style
How It Works
Share Your Ideas: Send reference images, notes, and your preferred placement before we meet.
Plan Together: We review your concept and refine the direction during the consultation.
Receive Your Sketch: I prepare a custom design draft for your review before any booking is confirmed.
I am Thomas Deaton, a tattoo artist who approaches every piece as an original painting that happens to live on skin. My work is built on years of drawing, color study, and close attention to how lines and shading age over time. I care as much about the idea behind a tattoo as the final image, and I take the time to understand what each client wants to carry with them.
Custom tattoo art is where that approach matters most. I start with your references, your story, and your vision, then develop a design that fits both your personal style and the shape of your body. You can expect honest feedback, clear communication from first sketch to final touch-up, and a finished piece that feels like it was made only for you.
