The portfolio at CREate Tattoo is a reflection of Cody’s approach to tattooing—focused, intentional, and highly refined. Specializing in black and grey work, each piece shows a deep understanding of contrast, depth, and detail. There’s nothing rushed or trendy here. Every tattoo is carefully built, with strong composition and clean execution that holds up over time. The work speaks for itself: bold blacks, smooth gradients, and a level of precision that comes from years of dedication.
