In a nearly 10 year long impossible adventure of finding the artist and artwork that would create a memorial tattoo for my late brother I found Elliot through a friend. After one quick consult with him I was immediately confident that he'd easily be able to turn my vague and spotty ideas into something great. I could not have been more right.
The passion and excitement you get to see in Elliot as the tattoo has grown is very awe inspiring. I'm truly taken back when I watch him work on my arm and see him getting really into it. Passion really drives this guy.
As for the piece, we have worked through about 8.5-9 hours of a full sleeve based around more traditional Japanese art. You can see part of the progress in his black/grey artwork portfolio on the studio's website.
The end result is truly fantastic. I receive comments and compliments on a constant daily basis, even from other artists and industry types I've met in my travels. If you're looking for a place in Portland to get ink, Elysium is it hands down.
