Atmosphere Tattoo Gallery

Versatile Tattoo Artist Specializing in Black & Grey

My name is James West! I’ve been tattooing professionally for almost 15 years now. I don’t have a particular set style that I tattoo in. I prefer being a well rounded artist. I also have ADHD, so my work just kinda reflects what I find entertaining at the moment. I do enjoy black & grey the most, even though I do have fun with color pieces. Black & grey realism, traditional, & neo traditional are probably my favorite styles to tattoo. Color realism is probably the one style, next to “fine line”, that I won’t tattoo. Personally, they’re just not my forte. I’m the type of artist that works best with create freedom, with just some insight as to what you’re envisioning. Im very honest with my clients. If I don’t think the tattoo concept will look good or last as a tattoo, 99% of the time I won’t do it. I just like to look out for my clients.

Besides tattooing, I live a chill routine life with my girlfriend. I’m a father of two. And when I’m not tattooing or spending time with them, I train as a competitive bodybuilder. I’m also just a giant nerd who likes anime as well.
