Marcus Vale

Marcus Vale specializes in bold, highly composed tattoo work influenced by traditional American and Japanese tattooing. With twelve years of experience, his work combines strong linework, saturated color, and carefully planned compositions designed to remain visually striking over time.

His portfolio ranges from classic roses, eagles, and traditional flash-inspired pieces to larger Japanese-influenced work featuring koi, dragons, florals, waves, and other flowing imagery. Marcus enjoys working with clients on both individual statement pieces and larger projects that develop across multiple sessions.

Marcus is currently accepting consultations for new projects.
