Adam is a life-long artist with a specialization in graphite and charcoal realism/portraits as seen in some of the works below.
Aside from his skills with a pencil, Adam has illustrated a few mini-series comics, designed websites, and created custom software interfaces. For over 10 years Adam served as the Director of Marketing for Allied Communications. His illustrations, digital ads, pamphlets, flyers, and marketing designs were utilized in over 200 Wireless Retail stores across the United States.
In 2022, he began a tattoo apprenticeship under Brandon Thurston, a good friend and arguably one of the best tattoo artists on the East Coast. In late 2025, Adam funded the opening of his own personal tattoo studio where he continues his passion for people, art, and creativity.

I want a tattoo. Where do I start?
If you have an idea of what you want, or perhaps you have a picture of EXACTLY what you want, this should be communicated with Adam first. Head over to the Submit Idea page and fill in the requested information. Be as specific as possible with your idea and upload any reference photos you have.
How do I book a tattoo?
Head on over to the Appointments page to book your tattoo appointment. Only book once you’ve submitted your idea, communicated with Adam, and he says you’re okay to lock in an appointment.
Something came up, I can’t make my appointment. Can I reschedule?
Refer to the confirmation email that you received after booking your appointment. You’ll see a link to reschedule.
How can I pay for my tattoo?
All payments are taken at the end of your appointment.
Adam prefers cash, however clients are also able to pay up front with Cashapp, Venmo, or checkout with a Debit/Credit card on the website.
Let Adam know which method you’ll be using at the end of your appointment and he can assist with your payment if needed.
Can I make payments on a tattoo?
YES! Adam is one of the only tattoo artists in the Triad area that offers multiple payment options to clients, including low monthly payments with Klarna.
How does Klarna work?
After submitting your tattoo idea, booking your session, and receiving your tattoo from Adam, you can visit the website to pay for your session using Klarna.
Example:
You show up to your appointment and it takes 3 hours for your tattoo to be applied. At the end of your appointment let Adam know you’re using Klarna, go to the website, visit the Store link, select “3 Hour Tattoo Session,” Add to cart, and checkout with Klarna. Klarna will offer you 3 options to make either bi-weekly or monthly payments.
Why are there so many gaps on the calendar?
Adam is a full time employee at a nearby manufacturing plant. He is available for tattoos on his off days, and that is reflected on the booking calendar.
Do I have to pay for a tattoo concept fee?
In most cases, no. The tattoo concept fee is primarily for complex tattoo designs that require a lot of time and effort from the artist. This fee ensures the artist is compensated for his time.
How do I take care of my new tattoo?
Adam ensures you walk away with the knowledge and products needed to maintain quality while your tattoo heals.
Free with every tattoo:
Derm Shield Bandage
Tattoo Aftercare “Do’s & Don’ts” Memo
1 Packet Anti-Bacterial Soap
1 Packet Aloe Vera Cream
A Business Card to stay in touch or share with a friend.
Do you do cover-ups?
This depends mostly on the tattoo being covered. Larger, darker tattoos are more difficult to cover and would need approval on a case by case basis. Please upload photos of the current tattoo along with your idea in the Submit Idea form and Adam will review.
Are you currently taking on any apprentices?
At this time, Adam is running a solo studio where he operates alone and currently has no plans to offer an apprenticeship.
Do you offer any discounts?
YES! Adam offers $10 off an hour Hero Discount for active duty military, police, fire, and EMS workers. We appreciate your service!
Do you have a return policy on merchandise?
There is currently a no refund policy on merchandise purchased via the website or in the studio. When ordering shirts, if unsure about size please refer to sizing guide which can be given upon request.
I’m under 18, can I get a tattoo with my parent’s consent?
No. In North Carolina it is prohibited for any minor to receive a tattoo, even with parental consent.
