Becoming a tattoo artist was a dream of Akasha’s since early adolescence and she uses her background in fine art to inform her work today. Akasha loves working both in full color and black and grey.

Derick Runtz
JUNIOR TATTOO ARTIST
Derick started tattooing after discovering the craft during the pandemic and quickly realized it blended everything he loved: art, storytelling, community, and creating something meaningful for someone else. Today, he aims to design tattoos that are joyful, approachable, and instantly readable pieces. He creates playful, graphic work inspired by cryptids, cute creatures, fantasy worlds, and all the little tchotchkes and bits of pop culture that spark joy, all shaped by his background in illustration and design. The result is simple, bold compositions with strong silhouettes and details that reflect his love of fun, clarity, and storytelling.
