Custom Tattoos

My name is Luke Palan. I’m a black and gray tattoo artist specializing in a freehand / illustrative realism styling. I developed my artistic talent at a young age. Realism pencil drawing was my medium of origin. I pursued art in my free time and  throughout school and continued the hobby / passion throughout my life. It has always been an enjoyment to create a piece of art from my imagination.  I became intrigued with the world of tattooing as a teenager, which took my art to a more tattoo related style of drawing. I pursued my interest of tattooing through my young adult life and finally found my foot in the door at  a popular street shop at the age of 25.  I started my tattoo life in 2010 at Empire Tattoo Studio in southwest Wisconsin.  I have tattooed across the globe over the last 15 years from the west coast to the east coast, Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. I‘m currently operating at my private studio in Washington state and still frequent Boston, New York, California and Nevada throughout the year. Stay up to date on my travels on the Events page or throughout my social media pages. Keep an eye out for a location near you. My schedule is always available and I’m always looking to take on new clients and new projects throughout the year in all locations. Welcome to my website and enjoy my portfolio.
