Hey my name is Eli, and I make tattoos in the beautiful Ventura, CA. I’m a music nerd and enthusiast of traditional tattooing. I draw inspiration from the early days of western tattooing; where tattoos were bold and timeless. That being said, I enjoy working with clients one on one to deliver a professional tattoo and a great experience, regardless of style. If you’d like to book a tattoo with me, send me a message on Instagram, or walk into the shop Tuesday-Saturday. Looking forward to meeting you!

I began my tattooing journey in 2014. After obtaining my BA in Art Practice at UC Berkeley, the powerful energy of tattooing took over. I became inspired by the history, magic, and cultural diversity in the craft.
I love working in many forms and styles, but I’m kin to exploring my Japanese roots expressed through black and grey illustration mixed with traditional and neo-traditional styles. I strive to always learn more through connecting with others and our dreams.
