ABOUT
That’s me, Crispy! Tattooing in the wild at Ink Expression
My name is Crispy A.K.A. Chris B. I have been tattooing at Ink Expression Tattoo and Piercing in beautiful Mount Vernon, Iowa since the spring of 2022.
Personally, I am attracted to the traditional approach to tattooing highlighting designs with bold outlines, beautiful shading, and bright color, emphasizing simplified and highly readable imagery.
American Traditional tattoos hold a unique place in the tattoo world, but guess what? I work hard to provide tattoos in many different styles from fine line, and watercolor to Japanese, and Traditional. I would love to hear about your ideas and create something specially for YOU!
My only goal is to give you the best possible tattoo and experience. You will feel welcome and comfortable here in the open and communal shop environment :-) See you soon!
