The artist

Sadone.

I'm Sadone, a New York tattoo artist focused on custom black & grey realism. My work begins with composition: how an image moves with the body, where light falls, and how detail holds the piece together. Every project is a collaboration, shaped around a clear artistic direction.

A considered process

From idea to composition.

Share your idea, placement and scale. Together, we define the direction and plan the composition around your body. Larger projects develop across sessions, with the complete piece in mind.

The idea is yours.
The composition is built together.
