Purple Cloud Studios

"Rick took my ideas and made them look better than I imagined. He cares about his people and his work. Highly recommend if you’re looking for black/grey realism."

"I contacted Rick to do a cover up for me and I can’t say enough good things. He was responsive, listened to what I wanted, and it turned out better than I imagined. He takes a lot of pride in his work and extremely talented. I can’t wait to go back for a fresh piece!"

"Drove up to the studio from Gulfport, MS and definitely left satisfied with the work Rick has done so far. We have one more session left to complete the sleeve. Overall, Rick is an awesome and professional guy. Highly recommend his work for tattoos you may want. I look forward to completing this project and more in the future."

"I searched for literal years to find an artist I could trust for this! From start to finish and beyond, Rick was and has been the absolute best. I'm a forever client. It's rare to find someone who still holds themself accountable with their work after having so many years in any business but Rick definitely does. He took the time to completely redraw my concept on the day of my appointment in front of me so we could tweak to perfection and to my surprise, I really didn't have to sit in the chair for as long as I thought I would. Thanks Rick. See you next time. Note: naturally I'm a terrible photographer but it's the one with the sword! Hopefully it's posted somewhere."

"I am absolutely thrilled to share my 5-star review for Purple Cloud Studios. Rick is a true master of black and white realism! His talent is simply exceptional. He brings lifelike detail and intricacy to every tattoo he creates. The realism in his work is astonishing, garnering compliments and photo requests wherever I go. Beyond his talent, he listens attentively, providing valuable guidance, and creates tattoos that feel like an extension of my identity. If you're looking for a black and white artist who will leave you in awe, Rick is the one. Thanks for the incredible art you've etched onto my skin!"
