About

Ryan, the tattoo artist behind Garden Sports, sitting in the studio

I started tattooing in 2019 with handpoke, then switched to machine about six months in.

I've always tried to keep a human quality to my designs, which feels important in an increasingly digitally perfected world. Over the years, that's grown into the style I have today.

The work

I mostly do smaller pieces with a little weight to them. Medium fine lines with enough black for contrast. I aim for simple designs that still have character.
