Carl draws, tattoos, and creates with dedication, love and respect. He holds the not only the most respect for the history of tattooing and the ones that paved the way before him, but for the work he puts on to each and every one of his clients. He takes so much pride in his trade. Meeting someone with that mindset is not only a privilege but an honor.

Carl Hallowell makes a tattoo look like a tattoo more than anyone I have ever seen. He is also the nicest guy in tattooing. Not only do you get an amazing tattoo but also a history lesson in traditional tattooing (loved talking Higgs and Trevino among others). Can't wait to get more work from him!

I was lucky enough to get an appointment with Carl last week. I wanted a Japanese Oni with sakura. I could have not been more pleased with the design and the work. He is a wealth of knowledge and very personable. It was my best tattoo experience by far and have I been getting them for 20 years. I will no doubt be going back to him going forward.

My experience getting tattooed by Carl hallowell was pretty amazing. I got my first traditional Japanese tattoo from him and he went all out. He ground up his ink in the traditional japanese method using ink stones. His experience in japanese tattoing helped guide the development on my 7/10th sleeve. I would highly recomend anyone wanting a Japanese tattoo to seek him out and look st his portfolio.
