I’m cameron kelley
I grew up around art.
I’m a third generation artist and a first generation tattooer. Before tattooing, I was painting murals, canvases, and doing graffiti. Art was always there but when I found tattooing, it felt different.
It felt permanent.
It felt serious.
When I first stepped into the world of tattooing, it had this mystery to it. Then I walked into the shop where I apprenticed, and everything clicked. It wasn’t just a thing where people only get small tattoos off the wall. It was custom art created by tattooers. It was a culture. A community. A deeper level of art. A lifestyle.
Seeing largevscale Japanese body suits right from the start changed everything for me. The size, the flow, the commitment. It showed me what tattooing could really be.
That’s when I knew what I wanted to do it for the rest of my life.
The Way I Work
I’ve spent the last 15 years studying this craft.
And that’s what makes me different from other artists.
Im always looking to improve and bring the highest quality work to my clients.
A lot of tattooers don’t study enough. Especially with Japanese work. Its easy to mess it up if you don’t understand it, it shows. And when it’s wrong, it’s permanently wrong.
I take that seriously.
This isn’t just drawing cool designs. This is history, symbolism, structure, and flow. I’m constantly studying, buying books, researching, and pushing myself to get better. A lot of that work happens alone, behind the scenes.
You have to live this.
Its a lifestyle not a trend.
Who I Work With
I’m not the artist for everyone and that’s intentional.
I work with people who are serious. People who value hard work, discipline, do what they say, and follow through. People who respect the process and understand that this is permanent.
This is not cheap work.
And it shouldn’t be.
If I take on your project, you’re getting 100% of me. Every session, every detail, every decision. I’m fully locked in on giving you the best work I can at my current level.
I expect the same energy back.
