About me

Hello and thanks for checking me out! I'm Tracci, most people call me King. I have been a professional tattoo artist since 2020, after working in the body art industry as a professional body piercer for a decade. I work in a variety of styles, my favorites being color neo-traditional and anime style pieces, as well as Color and black & gray realism. I take a lot of pride in my versatility, and I love pushing my boundaries to develop my style.

My art background goes all the way back to high school when I started doing graphic design and video production. Some friends and I were always making short films on a VHS camcorder, and I had grown a passion for producing graphics, special effects, and overall post-processing videos. I eventually graduated from Specs Howard with a certificate in Digital Media Arts, while I worked as counter help at a piercing shop. I did freelance graphic design while working as a body piercer, until a fellow artist talked me into learning to tattoo. Now you can find me tattooing at Ellis Ink in Toledo, Ohio, which I have called home since 2022.

Outside of tattooing, I am happily married with our first kid on the way, I enjoy playing World of Warcraft and several other games, Iā€™m pretty decent at schmokin meats, and I will take literally any excuse to go play a round of golf.
