Conflict+balance= beauty.

Great start to this back piece. sits so calm and eloquently, it’s admiring to see. I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to make this piece and to be apart of the journey.
For nearly two decades, Dean Norman has been creating work rooted in discipline, symbolism, and intention.

Known for his large-scale Asian-inspired and geometric tattooing through, Dean approaches the body as one complete canvas, building work that moves with the individual and feels deeply personal to the person wearing it.

“Shinsei,” meaning rebirth or new life, came during a major season of change. Created as Dean and his family prepare to move abroad and begin a new chapter, the piece became a reflection of transformation, clarity, and settling into who you truly are.

Commitment- an agreement or pledge to dedicate your time, energy, or resources to a specific course of action, person, or cause.

“Shinsei” primarily means “new life,” “rebirth,” or “new birth” in Japanese (新生), often representing a fresh start or transformation. The name for this piece seemed fitting for me with my family and I moving abroad and starting anew. 20 years of tattooing- half of which I spent trying to find myself and who I wanted to be.

This painting, which almost felt rushed with my schedule as of late, turned out to mean more to me than I intended and became a great representation of where I’m at in my life and where I’m going. I have a good look at where I want my work to go and I feel comfortable for the first time being my true self. Just create, enjoy, and experience what I truly love with no apologies.

Thanks again to for the opportunity to show my piece amongst so many amazing artists. Not to sound too dramatic but, I really needed this piece of work to exist right now. Funny how these things work sometimes…

Thanks to all who came to the show and looking forward to creating some new pieces with my time abroad. 🖤
Good start to Alex’s dragon and koi sleeve. Adorned with blossoms, it’s a good fit for this spring.
When your light box breaks you go old school. 🫠
Devils in the details. Symmetry, repetition, and layers for days.
Soft shadows, controlled darkness.
Carved, not placed. Just intent, shadow, and permanence.
Soft florals, restrained darkness, and a quiet menace. Where elegance and unease sit side by side.
