The artist
An artist shaped by process, community, and experience
Lebster Pabon
I'm dedicated to the craft of making tattoos, and I'm obsessed with the process. Whatever the subject, I encourage the use of line in every tattoo I make, whether it's color or black and gray.
My styles are illustrative and neo-traditional, and my work spans fine-line, traditional, watercolor-inspired, color, and black-and-gray tattooing. The best tattoos come from a real conversation about what the piece means to you and how it should sit on your body.

Tattoo philosophy
How I approach the work
Line first
Strong, deliberate linework is the skeleton of every tattoo. Varied line weight gives a design energy and helps it age well.
Built for the body
Composition follows the shape and movement of the placement, so the tattoo looks right on you, not just on paper.
Collaboration
Your idea and my drawing meet in the middle. Feedback is part of the process, not an interruption.
Respect for the story
Cover-ups and scar work are personal. Those conversations are private, unhurried, and never a sales pitch.
