Colorful Cartoon Style Tattoos By DJ

DJ Auld
Thousands of years ago, before the birth of Sigourney Weaver, the Earth cooled, velociraptors came and went, and humans sprang up and began adorning their flesh with designs. Tattoos have been made for great tradition, individuality, ritualistic honor, or just mutual boredom...and then for a long time, not much happened.In the year 2005, a human named DJ decided to embark on the journey to be a part of the long-held artistic calling of tattooing. He found through the years that his love for drawing cartoons and bright, bold colors made for his favorite tattoos. The bigger the tattoo, the better, and those bold enough to be seen from across the street were always the best. He works in almost all styles these days, from new school, illustrative, abstract/watercolor, realistic black and grey, and geometric, and is mostly just stoked to have the right people in his life that wear that art proudly.
DJ draws inspiration from the bold and funny, from animals, and from the joys of all the things that surround us. He is terrible at writing bios, especially in the third person, but he delights in picking clients' brains and really finding deep connections to make the best piece of art and the best experience for it. He delights in problem-solving and achieving high-five-worthy pieces that will last a lifetime. He is eternally grateful to everyone that has supported him and his art along the way and looks forward to the next amazing piece.

We will work with you, but very much prefer not to get sick ourselves. That's a dick move, don’t do it. Thank you.
Custom Work
Custom work is accepted on a case-by-case basis. Custom tattoos require a lot of extra drawing time and require a lot of time to complete properly, especially keeping it to the highest standard. DJ loves large colorful illustrative pieces, but does work in a variety of styles.He is happy to consult and make sure he is a good fit for the piece. Please familiarize yourself with his work and with the styles he is currently producing. (Illustrative, black and grey realism, abstract/watercolor, geometric, etc)
Consultations
When needed I offer in-person consultations! If in person is not an option, Facetime and Zoom meetings are also available. There is no charge but I typically expect to sit down for a half hour or so and really flush out our ideas together. I want to explore options and what you’re really looking to get tattooed, as well as asking questions and making a game plan for the project. Please wear something comfortable and able to see the tattoo area since photos or tracings may be taken as well.
Drawings
Drawings are presented the day of the appointment.No drawings will be sent or shown in advance of the tattoo appointment. Drawings are typically done a few days to the night before the appointment. There is a lot of time and thought put into each piece. Minor adjustments can be made at the beginning of the appointment. Major changes made to the tattoo design may require a reschedule, and may warrant a new deposit for drastically different changes.. Don’t know where to start? DJ also has several available pre-drawn designs!
