With over twelve years of professional experience, he specializes in black and grey photorealism — from portrait work to nature scenes and hyperrealistic still life pieces.

Jade Chen
Senior Artist • 7 Years Experience
Jade specializes in delicate single-needle fine line work — botanical illustrations, script lettering, and micro-realistic designs that look like pencil sketches on skin. Her steady hand and artistic precision have earned her a loyal following.
Jade recommends that clients considering fine line tattoos understand placement matters enormously for longevity. She offers free consultations to discuss design feasibility and aging expectations.
Diego Santos
Senior Artist • 9 Years Experience
Diego is a master of bold lines and vibrant color. His work spans American Traditional, Neo-Traditional, and Japanese-influenced designs — always with strong outlines and saturated fills that age beautifully. He's the studio's go-to artist for flash events and walk-in sessions.
Diego's flash work sells out regularly. Follow our Instagram for drop announcements and flash day schedules.
Sam Okafor
Artist • 6 Years Experience
Sam's work explores the intersection of blackwork, sacred geometry, and dotwork. His pieces range from bold graphic compositions to meditative mandala patterns built entirely through dot density. Every design is custom-created with mathematical precision and artistic intuition.
Sam joined InkCraft in 2022 after apprenticing in London. He's currently accepting new clients with a 3-4 week booking lead time.
