His work merges classic technique with expressive simplicity, resulting in tattoos that are visually striking, often humorous, and always memorable.

Modern Traditional Tattoos with a Twist

Tristan’s approach to modern traditional tattoos honours the foundations of old-school ink—bold lines, saturated colours, and timeless imagery—while introducing contemporary flair and unexpected elements. From animal heads and daggers to sailor-style flash, Tristan’s work is full of character, energy, and bold graphic appeal. If you’re searching for traditional tattoos with edge, Tristan’s style is the perfect fusion of classic technique and modern creativity, making him a go-to artist for custom flash tattoos in Sydney.

Ignorant Tattoos: Bold, Playful, and Unfiltered

Tristan is also known for his bold work in the ignorant tattoo style—a rebellious, freeform genre that embraces child-like drawing, social commentary, and unfiltered expression. These designs are playful, raw, and often hilarious, offering a unique alternative to more polished tattoo styles. Think simplified line work, quirky humour, and a creative freedom that speaks to those who love tattoos with meaning and personality—but who aren’t afraid to have fun with it.

A Confident, Creative Hand

Whether you're after a quirky one-off, a bold traditional chest piece, or a tattoo that challenges the norm, Tristan delivers work that’s fearless, original, and designed to stand out. His tattoos are perfect for collectors looking for graphic clarity, unexpected charm, and a strong artistic voice.
