Darren Hose' - Tattoo Artist
​
Hi I’m Darren, I love the freedom and creativity I get from tattooing. Designs I enjoy tattooing the most are neo traditional, traditional, watercolor, trash polka, abstract, graffiti, black and grey non-photo realism, landscapes, script and floral motifs, but I am always up for a challenge. Part of what makes it fun for me is coming up with new design ideas, as well as having a wide variety of tattoo styles that I enjoy.
I am a proud husband and father and take my role in their life very seriously. I hold degrees in the fine arts, education and design that have contributed to overall my knowledge as an artist, but far more significant is having a strong intuition for layout and design.
I love being able to educate people about the arts and the significance of tattooing as an industry. It would be my pleasure to work with you in the future on your tattoo ideas. Thank you

Tony Kofakis - Manager
Upon entering the season of 2023 I find myself tattooing for 18 cycles around the ball of fire we call Sun. I have tattooed thousands of vessels, containing some truly amazing souls, for that I am ever filled with gratitude. As I continue these trips around the sun I am transitioning from Tattoo Artist to studio Manager. I'll be focusing on aiding our artists, managing our social media and organizing fun walk-in days and events! I will be taking very limited tattoo appointments in the realm of Americana, Celtic and Traditional Japanese. In person contact to discuss this possibility is required. When I am not at the studio, I spend as much time as I can on bicycles. I race BMX and mountain bikes, ride road and gravel for fun. Lisa and I can also be found tooling around on our tandem. I look forward to many more trips around the sun with all of you out there! PEACE Tony
