RKC INK Tattoo Artists

 Aden is a blackwork illustrator focusing on a hybrid of hatchwork, engraving, and woodblock styles. His favorite subject matters include fantasy, critters, horror, skeletons, and pop surrealism. A lifelong artist, avid horror film nerd, passionate metal head, Aden is interested in most things pop culture. He loves to chat if you do, and is always looking to laugh or make others laugh. It’s Aden’s first priority to make his clients as comfortable as possible and make sure that your appointment isn’t just about the tattoo, but an awesome experience all around.

Tattooing since 2018, I’m a big queer nerd who loves to do all kinds of fun tattoos for fun people. Whether it’s thematically or stylistically interesting, m’lady, cartoony, or even bladerunner-esque, I can tattoo in a number of different styles and needle weights, all leaning toward illustrative. I will always have a soft sport for traditional style bold tattooing of non traditional themes. Who doesn’t love a crispy clean tattoo that can be recognized from across the street?

Tattoos last a lifetime — so at the end of the day what I really care about is creating tattoos that will look good healed across a lifetime.

My tattoos are as much my own as they will be yours — I have tons of pre-drawn designs available at all times but many great custom tattoos have also come from a healthy collaboration between my clients and I. I always foster safe environment you can feel comfortable in to communicate your needs so together we can figure out a sick tattoo that we both love

I've been making art in a professional capacity for over a decade now, and my experience from print design and commission work made settling into tattoo work feel natural. Working with someone to bring their idea to reality or finding a shared interest from flash we can gush about is really satisfying!
I especially enjoy drawing anything from creatures to girls, robots to cowboys, and romance to comedy. There is a big folder of mine with available flash like that in the shop! The best way I can think to describe my style is colorful, cartoonish, and graphic.
Outside of the actual designs my goal in the shop is to make it a comfortable space and people have fun chatting with us rats, whether they're getting a tattoo or just wanted to come in for a sticker.
