Nate Nash began tattooing in 2016 and has been drawing still-life imagery ever since childhood. With an eye for accuracy and a history of working in pencil, Nate knows exactly how to bring high-detail to his black and gray realism tattoos - with an exceptionally strong talent and personal passion for photo-realistic portraits.
While portrait tattoos are his specialty, it's still very important to Nate 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.
