Delicate single-needle florals, lettering, and minimal pieces that heal clean.
Black & Grey
Smooth shading and realism — portraits, wildlife, and large-scale work built over sessions.
Color & Neo-traditional
Bold, saturated color work that holds up for decades. Doc Dog has been proving it since 1977.
Piercings by Belle
