Mike Dowdell

With over 14 years of experience, I am a professional tattoo artist known for my realism and surrealism tattoos. I believe in telling unique stories through body art, where every piece carries personal significance. And i’m dedicated to creating stunning visuals that resonate with your individual style and vision!

Your journey with me is more than just getting a tattoo; it's about expressing yourself. While there are countless tattoo artist in the area, I appreciate you choosing me. If you're looking for a piece that will wow others, while speaking to you on a personal level, then you've come to the right place.

But I am not only a tattoo artist. I also take a great deal of pride in photography and travel. Experiencing the world’s beautiful landscapes under an early sunrise or a late sunset inspires my creativity and feeds my artistry. There’s something profoundly captivating about capturing those fleeting moments, the way light transforms the scenery, illuminating the colors that dance across the earth.

Wildlife photography is an entirely different adventure. It can be exhilarating and somewhat intimidating, watching wild creatures in their natural habitat while trying to capture their essence through the lens. There’s an incredible thrill in holding the shutter down, breathing in the moment, and integrating that experience into my work.

It makes perfect sense why I gravitated toward nature-inspired tattoos long before my travels began a few years ago. The intricacies of animals, the breathtaking beauty of landscapes, and the stories embedded within them are themes that resonate deeply with me. Each tattoo I create is more than just ink on skin; it’s a piece of the journey and a reflection of the beauty I’ve encountered along the way. My experiences in nature and photography fuel my passion for realism and surrealism in tattoo art, allowing me to translate the essence of what I’ve seen and felt into each custom piece.
