Hey there! I'm Stetson—your favorite gay, redheaded tattoo artist.

I've been living in the Triangle since 2014 and worked a few different jobs before finding my way into the tattoo industry. Since then, I've been dedicated to becoming the best artist I can be. While I feel confident in the quality of my work, I also know there's always room to grow, and that's one of my favorite parts of being an artist.

Lately, I've been pushing myself to learn as much as possible by shadowing other artists, asking questions, attending seminars, watching educational videos, getting my work critiqued, taking art classes, and constantly challenging myself to improve. Growth never stops, and I want every tattoo I create to be better than the last.

I grew up drawing realism in both black and grey and color, which continues to influence my work today. My tattoo style leans toward surrealism and monochromatic pieces, though my ideal projects combine opaque greys with bold, high-contrast color for a striking, dynamic look. I'm also very comfortable with fine line, blackwork, and pop culture or anime-inspired tattoos.

Whether you have a fully developed idea or just the spark of one, I'd love to help bring it to life. Come hang out, and let's create something you'll be excited to wear forever!
