Six disciplines.
One chair.
01
Tribal & Pattern
Custom geometric and Polynesian-inspired patterns, drawn freehand to follow the body's natural lines.
02
Portraits
Lifelike ink portraits of loved ones, icons, and heroes — refined line by line.
03
Black & Grey Realism
Soft shading, deep contrast. The bread and butter of the sailor's portfolio.
04
Color Realism
Full-spectrum pieces where pigment reads like paint — without bleeding into the skin.
05
Graffiti & Sketches
Urban studies and preparatory drawings that become standalone pieces on skin.
06
Custom Pieces
Something entirely your own. Tell Mike the story — he'll draw the rest.
