It has been 11 years since Dharm first picked up a tattoo machine and put needle to skin. He has a deep respect for tattooing and its history and is always working to expand his skills and deepen his understanding of the craft. Dharm has an extensive background in art and design, which gave him a strong foundation when transitioning into a career in tattooing. Creating fantasy and sci-fi illustrations and characters for tabletop RPGs is his creative side hustle.

To Dharm, tattooing is personal. Clients come to him with stories, memories, and ideas—or they simply want incredible artwork on their bodies. He considers it an honor to translate those ideas into tattoos that feel authentic and enduring, while always considering the unique qualities of each client's body and skin. He believes that the tattooing process often makes people more vulnerable and open to connection. He welcomes those conversations and sometimes jokingly refers to the experience as "pain therapy."

His work is influenced by a wide range of cultures, fantasy art, travel, music, and lived experience, and he is especially drawn to the juxtaposition of opposing ideas. His favorite style is a color-forward, Neo-traditional approach featuring fantasy characters and creatures. Within this framwork he might push his design more cartoony or semi realistic. He enjoys collaborating with clients to create custom designs that complement each person's unique body and personality. He is committed to creating tattoos that are thoughtful, well-crafted, and true to the individual wearing them.

Dharm currently lives in Denver, Colorado, with his wife, daughter, dog, and one-eyed cat.Click here to get in touch.
