AdamFounder of KAZENTATTOORealism & Portraiture Tattoo Artist in Los Angeles

Adam's portfolio is built on two things: animals and marble. Gorillas, rhinos, tigers, panthers and a full jungle sleeve with a T-Rex and a crocodile sit alongside classical sculpture — bearded Greek busts, a marble lion, the arches of the Colosseum.

He frames the realistic subject in stylised smoke and cloud ornament, which gives a sleeve a clear silhouette instead of a crowded collage, and keeps his greywash soft and open rather than heavy. Graffiti-style lettering appears as a graphic accent.

Best suited to: animal realism, sculptural and classical motifs, full sleeves and leg pieces.
