Thistle and Pearl Tattoo

Kevin began his career as a tattooer during the late nineties in the Midwest. In 2012, he relocated to the beautiful Hawaiian island of Maui where he continued to tattoo until moving to Asheville, NC in the fall of 2022.

He is heavily influenced by traditional science fiction (books as well as movies, and pretty much anything goofy, funny, or weird, as well as anything found in the natural world. Kevin loves to tattoo big pieces from black and grey to bright, bold and colorful designs.

He really enjoys the one-on-one aspect of working with clients; taking time in the creative process to create the perfect design for the individual. He believes that our perception of the world is strongly influenced by the way we see ourselves. Tattoos can alter the way a person sees themselves for the better, and Kevin feels great privilege in being a part of that. When a person feels good about themselves, they are able to see and love the world they live in a little more.
