Ivan Gibson is a skilled tattoo artist with a passion for American and Asian traditional styles. He draws inspiration from his varied experiences living in the South, Bay Area, and Maui, and incorporates the passage of time into his traditionally designed compositions. Ivan has been practicing the rare and highly valued skill of freehand tattooing, the ability to draw directly on the skin without the use of a stencil, since 1996. He uses this technique to create unique and one-of-a-kind tattoos that are tailored to his clients' needs and preferences. With a focus on design-based thinking, Ivan brings his clients' tattoo ideas to life with skill and attention to detail. 

 

He is especially passionate about animal and dog tattoos, and welcomes any pet-related projects. If you're looking for a talented tattoo artist, Ivan is the perfect choice.
