SPIKE

As the founder and lead artist of True North Tattoo, Spike has spent the last 13 years perfecting a style that is as bold as it is technical. While he’s a student of the classics—specializing in Japanese, Traditional, and Neo-Traditional—his true passion lies in the vibrant world of 90s nostalgia.

From high-saturation anime pieces to iconic movie characters and “nerd culture” masterpieces, Spike’s work is defined by bright colors and clean execution. He’s the guy you want for a piece that pops as much as it tells a story.

When he’s not behind the machine, he’s usually under the hood of a rat rod or hanging out with his fiance, Jade. He’s tall enough to reach the top shelves and fueled by enough caffeine to keep the shop running at high octane.
