The artist
Chris Davis.
The art of intention.
Black & grey realism and color work by Chris Davis — custom, photo-reference pieces made to move with your body. A private studio sanctuary in Salt Lake City.
Every piece here starts as a conversation, not a transaction. Your references, your story, your body — drawn into something that couldn't belong to anyone else. More than a tattoo.
What I do
The work.
Black & Grey Realism
My specialty — smooth gradients and lifelike depth in black and grey. Portraits, nature and narrative pieces built to read for decades.
Color Realism
Realism with color woven in — rich, saturated and true to the reference, shaded to sit naturally in the skin.
Custom & Narrative
Every piece is designed from scratch around your idea and references — a story that flows with your body, never flash off a wall.
Cover-ups & Rework
Turning old or unfinished ink into something you're proud of — realism and shading that reclaims the space.
How it goes
The process.
Consultation
A free, no-pressure consult. We talk through your idea, references, placement and budget — and design it together.
Deposit
A deposit locks your date and gets the design started — and it's credited toward the final price of your tattoo.
Design
I draw a custom piece made only for you, built to flow with your body. We refine it until it's right, before any needle.
The Session
A calm session in a clean, private studio. You leave with intentional, high-quality art — more than a tattoo.
A private sanctuary.
No walk-in chaos, no crowd — a calm, clean, private studio where the only appointment that matters is yours.
