Nate Nash began tattooing in 2016 and has been drawing portraits and still-life imagery ever since childhood. With an eye for accuracy and a history of working in pencil, Nate naturally understands how to apply and achieve his high-detailed black and gray realism tattoos - with an exceptionally strong talent and love for photo-realistic portrait tattoos. His passion and precision with his portraiture work has earned him multiple awards - so if you're looking to get a lifelike face (or skull!) of a person, pet/animal, or pop-culture icon - you're in great hands.

While portraits are his specialty, Nate brings the same level of detail and care to all of his tattoos. It's very important to him that he puts his best into every tattoo he takes on. He's down for just about any idea as long as it falls under black and gray photo-realism - including coverups and even bold styles like trash polka that mix realism with color-graphic elements. So, whether you're into organic things like animals, people, and flowers - or prefer something darker like skulls, demons and horror pieces - Nate's all about turning your idea into a killer custom realistic tattoo.
