Bob NElson
Resident Artist
Born and raised in Wyoming, Bob developed an early passion for drawing and music. Growing up in the 1980s, he was influenced by skateboarding, heavy metal, and motorcycle culture—subcultures that continue to inform his artistic perspective today.
Bob relocated to New York City in 2005 and in early 2018, he began a tattoo apprenticeship under Chris Garver and Five Points Tattoo and officially began tattooing in 2021.
His work focuses on traditional Japanese, classic Americana, and heavy metal–inspired designs, emphasizing bold composition, strong linework, and timeless imagery.
