Hi, welcome to my blog, if you're new here, my name is Bram, and I'm a Winnipeg based tattooer specializing in traditionally inspired black and grey nature tattoos.
I make both custom and flash based work, and my books are always open. If you'd like to set up an appointment to get tattooed, have a consultation, or share an idea for a tattoo you'd like to get, email me at bram_adey@hotmail.com
