Getting to know me

Hello my names Grandison James IV, and I’ll be your artist if you choose me. I’ve been tattooing since 2017, in 2018 i got my professional license in Yorktown Va. Later I relocated to Norfolk VA in 2022.

I specialize in black and gray anime and manga. However i’m aspiring to do more neo trad and illustrative designs of any subject matter. Ranging from flowers, animals, insects, pop culture, mythology, original character portraits and many other things. So feel free to inquire about anything.

I love doing custom tattoos, creating something personally to fit my clients desires has always been fun for me. I’m always ready to give professional insight and guidance that helps bring your vision to life. In person consultations go a long way but I’m also willing to video chat, dm or email about inquiries.
