A lifelong artist, Graves began tattooing professionally all the way back in high school—and he hasn’t looked back since. What started as raw passion quickly evolved into a calling, guiding his artistic legacy from an unusually young age.

​

With years of experience in both color and black/grey, Graves is confident working in all styles...but he’s most recognized for his award-winning portraits and hyper-realism—including "First-Place Portrait, Black and Grey" (Villain Arts Tattoo Festival, 2025).

Above all, Graves finds fulfillment in custom-tailoring lifelong experiences that both he and his clients can be proud of. His spirit shines brightest when he shares a deeper philosophical or spiritual connection with his clients, as he believes that each tattoo forms an eternal sacred bond with each and every one of them.
