Derek’s Tattoo Portfolio
Derek’s books are open to flash and custom designs at our SE Powell location
Derek’s tattoo journey began with drawing on the arms of friends with a sharpie. To this day you will always catch him with a sharpie somewhere on his person. After decades in the coffee industry, and a personal collection of permanent artwork, Derek decided to take a leap of faith and pursue tattooing as a career. Derek finds inspiration for their art from classic tattoo artists alongside comic books and dungeons and dragons art. He loves live music, movies, general nerdery, and his family which consists of his wife Eddie, their two cats Colby and Albus, and their dog Roxanne. He’s known by his loved ones for his fast and witty humor and his kind heart.
