Good For You Tattoo

I got a pelican tattoo from Ryan 4 years ago and it is still the best tattoo I have. You can tell by his work that he is an absolute professional, an expert tattoo artist, and very easy to work with. He cared a lot about the placement and sizing of my tattoo and I really appreciated that. Once we started tattooing, he was fast and efficient. I would definitely get tattooed by him again. Here are photos of my tattoo fresh and healed.

My experience with Ryan (owner) was absolutely amazing! It’s been some years since I’ve been in, and I still need to finish my head tattoo…but outside of that, my interaction with Ryan was phenomenal! He has so much experience in this industry! I learned more in 1 hr than I ever knew being in tattoo shops my entire life/career as a body piercer. He broke down how he thought the tattoo would go on, how long it would take to draw up for the custom piece, how he drew the piece, color theory (the difference between color on dark, and lighter skin colors, and how you have to change the color to make the colors look brighter on different skin), how different skin types take ink, how he would apply the tattoo and how many sessions, how he started with line work and very little shading and next session would be more shade and color, he showed me on the tablet the difference between not waiting for color and color and how it effects blending. I appreciate Ryan so much for breaking down the process! Other artists don’t take that time like they should! Many other could take a lesson from Ryan! He is dedicated and hard working! My tattoo came out immaculate!! Thank you Ryan!!

Truly an incredible world class tattoo artist! Does he like to chat my ear off? Sure, but only because he knows how to make captivating conversation and make you feel comfortable in his shop. Does he give you input; if you come to him with a disastrous tattoo idea? Absolutely! He will then be able to turn your idea into a: legible, readable, incredible design. Sharpest, most bold, straightest tats around! Ryan is by far and wide one of the most: accepting, non-bias, non-judgmental, genuine people I have had the privilege to meet and be tattooed by. A true professional and master of his craft!

No one I would recommend more than Ryan. Our consultations were professional and productive. He showed me multiple color ways for my tattoo, so we were able to easily choose what was best for me. His cleanliness and attention to detail is unmatched. I can’t find a single wonky line in my tattoos from him. He cares about his work and it shows.

If you’re looking for a tattoo artist in Billings who combines technical precision with true artistic vision, Ryan your guy! From start to finish, my experience with Ryan was nothing short of exceptional. Ryan takes the time to truly understand your vision, and he brings it to life with incredible detail and creativity. Whether you’re coming in with a fully-formed idea or just a general concept, he has a gift for translating your thoughts into a design that’s unique, meaningful, and beautifully executed. His line work is clean, his shading is smooth, and his color work is vibrant and long-lasting.
