“I’m a piercer from Ardmore, Oklahoma, and my journey started right here at Tat2Lou’s — first as a client, where each visit felt more like coming home. Over time, the shop became more than just a place I went to; it became a family I deeply connected with. Eventually, I asked to grow with them and turn that connection into something more. Now, I’m proud to be on the other side of the chair, creating a space where people feel safe, seen, and free to express themselves in ways they might not be able to elsewhere. Piercing has opened my heart to the stories and souls of those who sit with me, and I’m grateful for every bond it brings.

So, are you ready to get pierced — or just come say hey? I’d love to see you in the studio.”

“Originally from Chickasha, Oklahoma, I’ve been creating art since I was seven, working with everything from pencil and paint to clay. I did my first tattoo at 11 and quickly realized this was more than just a craft—it was a way to tell powerful, personal stories. Inspired by the emotional depth of memorial tattoos, I began tattooing professionally at 19, driven by a desire to help people honor their loved ones and mark meaningful moments in their lives. My work is rooted in connection, care, and creativity, and I approach each piece as a collaboration—one that reflects the unique story, spirit, and vision of every client. Whether it’s a small tribute or a full custom piece, I’m here to create something that truly lasts.”

“Born and raised in Wichita Falls, TX, I got into tattooing in 2020 during the pandemic as a way to reconnect with art. I started with a machine I bought online, tattooing myself, friends, and family while steadily developing my skills and finding my style. In February 2022, I teamed up with Lou, and together with KD, we’ve built a creative, welcoming environment and a community of clients we genuinely value. Over time, I’ve worked in a range of styles, but I’m especially drawn to American traditional, neo-traditional, anime, blackwork, pop culture–inspired, and illustrative designs. I now live in Denton with my loving wife, Jordyn, who’s been by my side through every step of this journey. I’m grateful whenever someone trusts me with their skin, and I take pride in bringing their ideas to life in a memorable way.”

“Born and raised in New Jersey, I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by creativity—thanks to my mom, who first introduced me to the world of art. From a young age, she inspired and taught me the foundations, and I’ve been running with that passion ever since. Tattooing became the perfect way to merge my love for art with my desire to help others feel more confident, expressive, and truly themselves. I specialize in black and grey realism, but I also love creating pieces in neo-traditional, American traditional, blackwork, and plenty of other styles. I recently made the move to Gainesville, and I’m excited to bring my experience, heart, and creativity to a new community—one piece at a time.”

“Born in North Carolina and raised in North Texas, I’ve always had a passion for drawing and art—ever since I can remember, a pencil and paper were always in my hands. In high school, I discovered some of the greats like Ed Hardy, Sailor Jerry, and Bert Grimm, and was inspired by the endless possibilities of American traditional tattooing. I was drawn to how something so simple could become elaborate tattoos, paintings, and more. That curiosity led me to Japanese traditional tattooing, where I was captivated by the deep meanings behind each element and the way designs could be both intentional and intricate. Over the years, I knew becoming a tattoo artist was my calling—to bring the styles I love to life with my own hands. As the apprentice here at Tat2Lous, my goal is to constantly grow, learn from those around me, and become a versatile artist capable of fulfilling any client’s vision.”
