ABOUT ME

I’m Steve Needham, a Marine Corps veteran with a lifelong connection to art and design. Drawing has been part of my life from a young age, and over time that interest expanded into working across multiple creative mediums, including airbrushed motorcycle tanks, custom artwork for personal spaces, and mixed-media exploration using watercolor, coffee saturation, and pencil.

As someone who wears many tattoos, I’ve always respected tattooing as more than just an art form — it’s a responsibility. That respect is what led me to approach tattooing intentionally, taking the time to study the industry, its foundations, and the discipline behind the craft rather than rushing the process.

Outside of art, I’m a husband to my forever queen, a stepfather, and the daily chaos control for our three dogs. Those roles have reinforced values that guide how I work: patience, consistency, accountability, and respect for others.

I’m committed to learning tattooing the right way by seeking mentorship, collaboration, and guidance from experienced artists. My focus is on continued growth — both creatively and professionally — with the goal of earning my place in a shop through skill, dedication, and integrity.
