Austyn began his tattoo apprenticeship in 2015 in Wisconsin, laying the groundwork for a career defined by versatility and artistic depth. While skilled in a wide range of styles, he’s especially passionate about Japanese-inspired and American traditional tattooing—drawn to their rich symbolism, bold forms, and timeless appeal. Austyn also creates classic fine line black & grey work, marked by beautiful detail and subtle shading. Whether it’s a full-scale composition or a refined minimalist piece, he approaches every tattoo with care, intention, and a deep respect for the craft.
