Our Story
Born in Maryland, The Tattoo Nation in Bowie, MD began as one artist’s passion for award-winning black & grey realism tattoos. I’ve honed my craft globally—studying hyper-realistic tattoo techniques in South Korea, Brazil, Canada, Honduras, across the USA, and throughout Europe—collaborating with top tattoo artists to master every style. Now, we bring world-class tattoo artistry home. Ready for your custom tattoo? Let’s ink your legacy.
