CHAOTIC TATTOO
Portfolio
Hello, I’m Turk, owner and lead artist of Chaotic Tattoo. With over two decades of experience in the art of tattooing, I’ve built a reputation for bold American traditional work alongside refined, precise fine-line designs. My approach blends classic tattoo foundations with a modern eye for detail, ensuring each piece is timeless, intentional, and expertly executed.
I currently work out of a private studio just south of the Santa Monica Pier, offering clients a focused, comfortable, and highly personalized tattoo experience. In addition to studio appointments, I regularly guest and tattoo nationwide at Villain Arts conventions. Whether you’re coming in with a fully formed idea or looking to collaborate on a custom design, my goal is to bring your vision to life with clarity, craftsmanship, and respect for the tradition of tattooing.
Traditional Color Tattoos
Bold, timeless tattooing rooted in classic imagery, strong linework, and solid composition. Built to age well and stand the test of time.
Black & Grey
Shaded tattoo work with depth, contrast, and smooth gradation. From subtle tones to high-contrast pieces, tailored to the design and placement.
Face / Head / Neck / Hands
Advanced placement tattoos offered selectively and by consultation only. These pieces require thoughtful discussion and artist approval.
Fine Line
Delicate, precise tattoos with clean detail and subtle impact. Ideal for minimalist designs, refined symbols, and soft linework.
Lettering
Custom lettering and typography ranging from script to bold statement pieces. Each design is drawn specifically for the client.
Cover-Ups
Thoughtfully designed cover-ups that transform or fully conceal existing tattoos. Each cover-up is approached with strategy, creativity, and long-term wear in mind. Cover-ups are taken by consultation to ensure the best possible result.
Large-Scale & Multi-Session
Sleeves, back pieces, chest panels, and ongoing projects that require multiple sessions. Planned carefully for flow, longevity, and cohesion.
Available Designs
Original, pre-drawn designs by Turk, ready to be tattooed. These pieces are first come, first served unless otherwise noted.
Booking is available in Los Angeles and at Villain Arts conventions nationwide.
