Welcome to Sweetwater Collective

We are a Custom tattoo studio located in the beautiful downtown area of Medford, Oregon. Tattoos are our lifestyle here at Sweetwater Collective. Every project is one of a kind, and artistically designed for each individual client. We offer free consultations allowing you the opportunity for a one-on-one discussion of your tattoo concept with one of our talented artists. 

I was born and raised on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. When I was younger, I never took art very seriously or considered it could be full-time career. The extent of my artistic prowess was doodling stuff in class and on books instead of doing what I was supposed to. I got my start in tattooing almost immediately after getting my very first tattoo. Once I understood the process of tattooing, I was hooked. 

I volunteered as counter staff at a shop before securing an unpaid apprenticeship, then finally did my first professional tattoo in 2009. I recently relocated to Southern Oregon because of my wife's job. I was fortunate enough to meet fellow Mississippian Johnny Smith and joined the Sweetwater Collective team in March of 2016.   Some of my favorite styles to tattoo are color illustrations, new school traditional, cover-ups and the occasional black and grey. However, I'm always up for new ideas and challenges to push my tattooing abilities into the next level.

Apprentice tattooer trained in fine art, I am a recent graduate of tattoo school. I have been tattooing for the last year at my home at Sweetwater. Being a newer tattooer, my rates are reduced for a limited time. Traditional and soft black and gray styles are my lane & I love to rework old homemade tattoos, especially for those on a budget! Contact me to make your vision come to life.
