I never saw myself living the traditional 9-to-5 life. Before tattooing, I worked different jobs trying to find my path, but when the pandemic hit, I finally had the time to bet on myself and turn my passion into a career.

I’ve been an artist most of my life. I originally started tattooing for the money, but I quickly fell in love with the craft. The more artists I met and the more I pushed myself, the more I grew. Today, I’m a full-time black and grey tattoo artist specializing in large-scale, highly detailed custom work.

One of my biggest goals has always been to leave behind something that outlives me, and every tattoo I create is part of that legacy. My work is worn across the DMV and beyond.

When you sit in my chair, you’re not just getting a tattoo—you’re getting a timeless piece built to last. My goal is for every client to leave looking clean, confident, and thinking, “Damn… Daestylz crushed this piece.
