About me

Hey there! I'm Tracci, but most folks call me King. Since 2020, I've been a professional tattoo artist, following a decade-long career as a body piercer in the body art industry. I specialize in a variety of styles, with a particular love for color neo-traditional, anime, and both color and black & gray realism. I take immense pride in my versatility and enjoy pushing my creative boundaries to evolve my style.

My passion for art dates back to high school, where I explored graphic design and video production. My friends and I would create short films using a VHS camcorder, sparking my interest in graphics, special effects, and video post-production. I later graduated from Specs Howard with a certificate in Digital Media Arts while working at a piercing shop. During this time, I also did freelance graphic design until a fellow artist encouraged me to explore tattooing.

Now, you can find me tattooing at Ellis Ink in Toledo, Ohio, where I've been since 2022. I also attend several tattoo conventions throughout the year, including the local Toledo Tattoo Festival, to connect with fellow artists and showcase my work.

Outside of tattooing, I'm happily married, and we share a son, along with a house full of dogs and cats. I enjoy playing World of Warcraft and other games, I'm pretty decent at smoking meats, and I'll take any excuse to hit the golf course.
