British-American artist and US Air Force veteran, Butch brings over 30 years of experience to his studio,  the Champion Tattoo Company. Holding a BFA from the University of Maryland, he specializes exclusively in custom Tribal and Japanese tattooing.

Regarding Tribal work, Butch masterfully adapts designs to fit the body’s natural musculature. Whether you seek the fluid patterns of Polynesian and Filipino styles, the bold contrast of Neo Tribal and Geometrics, or the intricate lines of Celtic and Nordic knotwork, every piece is bespoke and honours tribal cultures.

His Japanese work honors the traditional Irezumi aesthetic. Prioritizing flow and heavy saturation, Butch crafts large-scale sleeves and bodysuits featuring classic elements like wind bars, Hannya masks, and Dragons.

Located in Strasburg, VA, the studio provides a quiet friendly environment removed from the city hustle. Consequently, it serves as a destination for clients from Washington DC, Baltimore, NoVA, and West Virginia seeking a  tattoo specialist dedicated to long-session projects.

Additionally, Butch is an international artist who frequently tours the USA, UK, and Europe for conventions and guest spots. Follow his social media for upcoming travel dates.
