I’ve seen Ty three times now, and I make a three-hour drive each way because his work is absolutely worth it. His fine line work is beautiful and consistently well executed. What I appreciate most is his honesty - if he doesn’t think an idea will translate well as a tattoo, he says so and offers thoughtful alternatives. I trust his eye and expertise completely, and he has never steered me wrong. Every tattoo I’ve gotten from him has turned out beautifully. Highly recommend.

Ty was absolutely fantastic to work with and incredibly talented! We were coming in from out of town, and he went above and beyond to accommodate us. He stayed in constant communication as the weather and other circumstances caused schedule changes, which we truly appreciated. He did a beautiful job on both my daughter’s and my tattoos. We will definitely be repeat customers!

Ty absolutely crushed it!! I traveled from Boston to come and see him. His fine line detail is perfection!!! It also felt like I was just hanging with a friend during my session. Highly recommend and will book again when I’m back in Nebraska!

I had the best experience with Ty. I wanted a tattoo to remember my sweet Golden who passed in September. I had a vision going in but asked Ty what his recommendations would be. I'm so happy that I went with his idea because it is everything I hoped for in honoring my sweet boy! Ty is an awesome artist, great communicating, and meticulous in his work. I couldn't leave without scheduling my next tattoo to ring in 2026.

Me and my girlfriends traveled from Texas to NE for a Sleep Token concert. We all wanted to get matching tattoos and found Ty’s beautiful work. He was able to book all of us and it was such an amazing experience! He was very professional and the shop is immaculate. If we’re ever in Lincoln, I’d absolutely get tattooed by him again! Amazing work. Thanks Ty!!
