About Andy

Elkview, West Virginia

Built on Craft.
Driven by Art.

I'm Andy — a tattoo artist based out of Elkview, WV. I've been doing this for over a decade, and I still approach every single piece the same way I did on day one: like it's the most important tattoo I'll ever do.

My roots are in traditional tattooing — bold lines, solid fills, timeless designs built to last. That foundation is still a huge part of who I am as an artist and something I still love doing. From there I pushed into black & grey realism — smooth gradients, deep shadows, portraits that look like photographs — and kept going into blackout work, freehand designs drawn directly on the body, and cover-ups that other artists said couldn't be fixed.

If you've ever been nervous about getting tattooed — about the process, the pain, whether the artist will actually listen to you — I want you to know that's exactly the kind of client I work best with. You get my full attention. We don't rush. We get it right.
