COMMISSIONS
Your personal story as a beautiful tattoo on a basketball.
This is art you can touch and feel. The people, places and events that shaped your experience are etched and burned into the skin of the ball. They are lasting impressions, cuts and grooves.
Based on you and your story, I will create a design that is a combination of typography and imagery. Like life, there are many layers, some of which you might not discover or understand at first glance.
100% designed and tattooed by hand. Every design is first sketched on paper, then re-drawn on the ball and finally tattooed into the leather. No computers, lasers, nor projectors.

Commission a One-of-a-Kind B-Ball Tat.
I would love to create a B-Ball Tat for you. It’s about connecting with people, who share a love for the game and creating a unique work of art that truly represents you (or someone you would like to gift it to).
How it works:
Send me a short message telling me a little bit about you and your idea. [scroll down for commission form]
I will respond within 48hrs to set up a meeting (IRL, skype or phone) to talk about the project.
After our first talk, if we both agree to move forward, you will be added to the waitlist (8-10 weeks).
When it’s your turn, we set up a meeting for a more in-depth interview/consultation.
Soon after, I’ll send you a first paper draft. There are 2-3 rounds of feedback, always IRL or skype/phone.
Once you approve the design draft, it will be tattooed onto a basketball.
You receive your very own, personal and one-of-kind B-Ball Tat delivered in person or in the mail.
