About Steve

Steve is the founder of Mantra² and has been tattooing professionally for over 30 years. He creates custom tattoos across every style. Drawing on decades of experience to design work that's built to last.

While he's especially known for black and grey realism, portraiture and cover-ups, Steve welcomes any idea and tailors every piece to the client. Whatever the style or scale, the brief is the same: a considered design, drawn for your skin.

Clients come to Steve for the consultation as much as the tattoo. A quiet, honest conversation about what will work, what will age, and what is worth your time in the chair.

Great experience. I've had tattoos elsewhere before, but this was the best by far. Steve was friendly and chatty, which puts you at ease. I'll definitely be going again. Thank you, Steve.

Steve was incredibly kind and skilled. He managed my crow tattoo in three and a half hours, constantly checking if I needed a break. It turned out awesome, and the aftercare guide is extremely helpful.

Steve gave me a beautiful, delicate memorial tattoo to remember my aunt every time I look down.

An amazing experience with Steve. Decades of experience clearly show. He was supportive, worked with me through minor changes and made me feel comfortable throughout. Clean and professional studio.
