About Me

The Artist

Howdy, I'm Wes. I grew up in the heart of Tennessee, surrounded by the stories, music, and traditions that make this country great. My art celebrates Americana, from classic folk art motifs to country music legends, barn quilts to vintage signs.

I believe in tattoos that honor our roots while telling your unique story. Whether it's a tribute to Johnny Cash or a family farm scene, every piece is a piece of American heritage.

Aftercare

Tattoo Aftercare

Follow these steps to ensure your new tattoo heals properly and looks its best for years to come.

1

Leave the Bandage On

Keep the initial bandage on for 2-4 hours after your session. Your artist will let you know the exact time based on your tattoo.

2

Wash Gently

After removing the bandage, wash the tattoo gently with lukewarm water and fragrance-free antibacterial soap. Pat dry with a clean paper towel.

3

Moisturize

Apply a thin layer of fragrance-free moisturizer or tattoo aftercare ointment 2-3 times daily. A little goes a long way.

4

Let It Peel

Your tattoo will start to peel and flake after a few days. This is normal. Never pick, scratch, or peel the flaking skin.

5

Protect from Sun

Keep your new tattoo out of direct sunlight for at least 2-3 weeks. Once healed, always apply SPF 30+ sunscreen to keep colors vibrant.

6

Avoid Soaking

No swimming pools, hot tubs, baths, or saunas for at least 2-3 weeks. Quick showers are fine.
