Tattoos by Juice

Minneapolis, MN

I’m a tattoo artist with seven years of experience, now working in New Jersey after starting out in Minneapolis. I focus on color realism and black and gray realism, putting lots of detail and smooth shading into my work. I love making bold and delicate designs that stand out, especially animal portraits. The best part of my job is seeing how happy my clients are when their tattoos are finished. I want my clients to feel relaxed and have a good time during their sessions. It’s important to me that we have a good vibe and that they trust me to bring their ideas to life.
