BYUDZAI
Good vibes tattooing.
Good vibes tattooing.
I began tattooing the public in January 2025. I have much to learn, so take a look at Instagram to see where my skill set currently stands.
For most of its history, tattooing was sacred and communal, something people did with and for each other rather than as a transaction. This space celebrates that tradition. The art and meaning come first; money is taken out of the exchange.
No clock running. We can spend a whole session trying out ideas and not tattoo at all. A tattoo is a lifetime commitment for you, a passing project for me; you're the one that matters.
Instead of money, bring me something small and symbolic that I will add to the growing collection of trinkets over the workspace. A strange shiny rock, a found object, snacks if that's more your speed. Surprise me.
I have a medical background and am diligent about cleanliness and sterility. Freshly washed sheets, professional equipment, and sanitized surfaces. I have several brands of second skin and options for dry healing. I will supply you with a sampler of my preferred lotion if needed.
Message me there and let's work out a design together first, just to make sure it's within my current skill set. Then we'll lock in a time.
Tues/Thurs evenings, plus variable weekend times. If none of those work, we can usually figure out something else.
I ask that people remove their shoes in the studio. If you're wearing sandals, kindly bring along a pair of socks.
Street parking is often plentiful. Should it not be, there is a garage on the southern side of the building where paid parking is available on the P1 level.
I have most of a degree in music composition and experience with classical piano and songwriting. Here is my ongoing collection of videos exploring the music theory of popular songs.
Before tattooing, "Byudzai" was the name of my tiny slingshot endeavor. All of my tools have been in boxes since 2018 but I'm looking forward to bringing slingshots back when my new shop is built.
