Traven Rider
I specialize in Neo-traditional tattooing and bring a genuine love for art and tattooing as a whole, from hand-drawn designs to the mechanics behind the machines themselves. I'm passionate about creating unique, high-quality tattoos while making every session comfortable, fun, and memorable. Art and tattooing are at the core of who I am.
My Story
I am a Neo-traditional artist with a distinct eye for bold imagery, clean detail, and timeless composition. While Neo-trad is my home base, I'm also skilled in classic traditional and black-and-grey work, which gives me the range to bring all kinds of ideas to life with intention and character.
My love for art started early-drawing was the one thing that always felt like it came naturally to me. After spending some time working in construction, I began tattooing on the side, and quickly realized it wasn't just a hobby. The moment I picked up the machine, I never looked back. Tattooing became more than a career choice; it became a calling tied deeply to the culture, the environment, and the camaraderie within the tattoo community.
Creatively, I'm inspired by the artists around me-their styles, their visions, and the energy they bring to the craft. I love taking those influences and transforming them into my own designs, adding detail and personality to make each piece unmistakably mine.
For me, tattooing is built on trust. I value the security I give my clients and never take for granted the faith that they place in me when choosing me as their artist.
I'm always evolving as an artist, exploring new ideas and techniques, with the goal of giving my clients meaningful artwork they can wear with pride for a lifetime.
