DJ

DJ, a Co-Owner at Fates Tattoo Studio in Downtown Pensacola, brings over three decades of international tattooing experience to his craft. His journey, which began during his time in the U.S. Navy, has seen him collect passport stamps across continents and earn the trust of thousands of clients. In Pensacola, his style has sharpened, drawing from classic tattoo foundations to create neo-traditional and illustrative pieces. He is renowned for his bold, saturated color work and crisp, intentional blackwork, often infusing a narrative twist and distinct character into each design. Beyond meaningful tattoos, DJ enjoys crafting his versions of beloved fandom or anime themes, with a particular fondness for Star Wars, often incorporating Japanese or neo-traditional elements. He approaches each project, whether loud, sacred, weird, or wonderful, with a dedication to storytelling through ink.
