AND
TATTOO ARTIST
Hey, I’m Yonathan.
I tattoo in West Palm Beach and I’m all about traditional tattoo style.
I’m not here to say I’m the best tattooer around… I’d rather let my work speak for itself — and if it vibes with you.
A few years back, I made a choice:
to go all-in on traditional tattoos and give them a fresh twist. I love the classics — bold lines, strong colors, timeless designs.
But I also like bringing in other elements:
a bit of mysticism, some folklore vibes (especially from Japanese tattoo culture), and yeah… sometimes a weird, nostalgic cartoon touch. My style lives somewhere between the eerie and the playful, but with something unexpected that makes you look twice.
This isn’t about doing tattoos just for the sake of it.
It’s about making something that actually means something to you.
So… now it’s your turn.
Tell me your idea, your story, or even just a feeling and let’s turn that into something real.
Hit the button and let’s start working on your piece.
Not sure how the design process works?
No stress — I’ve got you.
Imagine you want to get a tattoo that actually says something. It could be about something (or someone) you love. A memory that changed you, a character you’re obsessed with. Or hey — maybe you’re feeling bold and ready for a Yōkai (my personal favorite).
Whatever’s on your mind, you’re probably not just picking a random design.
You want something that feels real, personal, meaningful.
FAQ
-
Yes, but the pain varies depending on the area of the body, your pain tolerance, and the tattoo’s design. Areas with more bone or nerve endings (like ribs, spine, ankles) tend to hurt more. Most people find the pain manageable.
-
It depends on size, detail, color, time, and the artist’s experience. Small tattoos may cost $100, while large or complex ones can go up to hundreds or thousands. Always prioritize quality over price.
-
The outer layer usually heals in 2–4 weeks, but full internal healing may take 2–3 months. Proper aftercare is crucial during this period.
-
No. Avoid swimming, soaking in bathtubs, or going to the beach for at least 2–3 weeks. Only short showers with lukewarm water are recommended. Immersing the tattoo can cause infection or affect healing.
-
It’s not recommended. There’s a small risk of infection or allergic reactions, and some ink ingredients aren’t well studied during pregnancy or nursing. It’s best to wait.
-
• Wash hands before touching it.
• Clean the tattoo with warm water and mild soap.
• Apply healing ointment (as advised by your artist).
• Don’t scratch or pick scabs.
• Avoid direct sunlight and keep it moisturized.
-
Yes, but it depends on the scar’s type, age, and texture. Some scars (like keloids) may not take ink well. A skilled tattoo artist can assess and adjust the design accordingly.
-
Yes. Sun exposure, poor aftercare, and body location affect fading. Hands, fingers, and feet fade faster. Touch-ups are common after a few years.
-
Yes, if done by a professional in a clean studio using sterile needles and certified ink. Risks include infection, allergic reactions, or poor healing if not properly cared for.
-
Yes, usually with laser removal. It’s expensive, requires multiple sessions (6–12+), and some colors are harder to remove. Cover-up tattoos (tattooing over the old one) are also a common option.
