Bang: The Architect of Insanely Badass Tattoos
“If you want a tattoo that’s insanely badass, you should book with me.”
That’s Bang in his own words. He’s not here to replicate trends; he’s here to invent, to fuse genres, and to create powerful, custom art that lives on the body. For Bang, tattooing is the ultimate form of cool, a craft he’s been drawn to since, as he puts it, “he was in the womb.”
His work is a collision of styles: fantasy, Asian character design, new school, neo-traditional, and the biomechanics he first fell in love with. He doesn’t just ink skin; he engineers narratives, turning a client’s vision into a piece of art that is ambitious, meticulously designed, and unapologetically badass.
A Lifelong Calling (and a Messy Start)
Bang’s journey started with a feeling — that being a tattoo artist was the coolest job in the world. But the path from passion to profession had its bumps. He vividly remembers his first attempt at a tattoo: a massive, A4-sized tribal piece on a friend’s arm.
“I didn’t finish it,” he admits with a laugh, “and the ink didn’t really stick either.”
That humble, hilarious beginning fueled a relentless drive to master his craft. Today, every piece he creates is a testament to that dedication. He’s moved far beyond unfinished tribal pieces, now specializing in complex, large-scale work like full sleeves that require immense skill and planning.
Master of Fusion: A Style Without Limits
Bang doesn’t fit into a single stylistic box. He calls his work “custom,” a broad term for his unique ability to blend diverse and dynamic elements into a cohesive whole. Whether it’s the organic flow of a biomechanical sleeve or the bold character of an Asian-inspired fantasy creature, his work is instantly recognizable.
He thrives on designing and drawing every element himself, ensuring each piece is a true original. It’s a collaborative process where he exchanges ideas with the client, preferably face-to-face, to ensure the vision is perfectly aligned before a single drop of ink is laid.
This commitment to originality is why he tends to avoid heavy blackwork or generic tribal patterns, preferring the challenge and freedom of a completely new creation.
“Every single tattoo I do means something because each one happens in a different time and emotion. Every tattoo pushes me to think and improve technically.”
The Artist’s Voice: “Let Me Create Beautiful Pain”
Working with Bang is an experience. He’s intensely focused, pouring all his energy into the piece in front of him. When he’s in the zone, nothing else matters. His ideal client is someone who trusts his vision and is ready for the transformation.
In his own words, he asks his clients to:
“Just lie still and let me work. Let me create beautiful pain on your body.”
It’s this raw, honest passion that defines his work. He’s not just an artist; he’s a partner in a creative journey, dedicated to pushing boundaries and delivering a final piece that lives up to his own high standards.
