AJ LOWERY BIO GRAPHY

Greetings! My name is Sketch, and I’ve been tattooing for 27 years. My journey has been a tapestry of travels, constantly on the move, never quite calling one shop home. From an early age, I poured my soul into honing the images in my head, determined to become a true tattoo artist. The last decade has been transformative for me. I’ve been clean for 10 years, and during this time, I met my incredible wife. Together, we’ve embarked on an exciting new chapter: opening our very own tattoo shop.

Our vision is to create a space that blends the best of custom tattoo artistry with the welcoming, walk-in nature of street shops. My heart beats for American Traditional and Traditional Japanese styles, but I’m versatile and skilled in many genres. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in street shops, serving the diverse and hardworking clientele that I love. This connection to the working class is our claim to fame.

Our new shop is not just a business; it’s a passion project. It’s the first shop my wife and I own together, a dream we’ve nurtured into reality. The last shop I owned was Secret Ink in Marion, Virginia, back in 2007. Since then, I’ve never stopped learning and evolving in my craft. I’m obsessed with the idea of creating a small working museum within our shop, a homage to the rich history of tattooing that will forever captivate my heart.

We’re thrilled to be part of this community and eager to serve you. Whether it’s your first tattoo or you’re adding to an existing collection, we’re here to make your vision come to life. I excel in black and gray work but also enjoy bringing vibrant color pieces to life. Our commitment to providing five-star service is unwavering, and we’re confident you’ll be pleased with your experience.

Thank you for welcoming us. We’re ready to give you the tattoo you’ve been dreaming of, big or small.
