About
I am Derek, a San Diego tattoo artist creating American Traditional, Neo-Traditional, and Polynesian work at Pacific Beach Tattoo. I help clients turn meaningful ideas, favorite stories, and bold imagery into tattoos built to be seen and enjoyed. My approach blends strong composition, expressive color, and respect for the traditions behind each style, while leaving room for your own story. Whether you have a clear concept or need help shaping an idea, I make the process collaborative from the first conversation to the finished piece.
