About Me

I’m Max — a fine-line, handpoke tattoo artist creating clean, timeless tattoos meant to feel personal and intentional. I care deeply about the experience just as much as the design itself.

The Sunroom

I work out of The Sunroom — a quiet, light-filled studio designed for connection and calm. Located on Main St in Santa Monica, it’s just a couple blocks from the beach and intentionally created to feel warm, welcoming, and peaceful.

My Approach

Each tattoo is done entirely by hand — every line placed slowly, intentionally, and with care. Handpoke tattoos tend to feel less painful and more meditative than machine tattoos, and the healing is soft and natural. I focus on minimalist designs, fine details, and work that holds beautifully over time.
