Destin Alford
Destin Alford is a tattoo artist born in Oregon with a lifelong passion for art. Drawing from a young age laid the foundation for a style rooted in realism, detail, and strong composition. In October of 2023, Destin began his tattoo apprenticeship and quickly progressed into advanced realism work, developing a reputation for precision and depth.
Specializing in black and grey realism, color realism, and neo-traditional tattoos, Destin focuses on creating pieces that feel intentional, bold, and built to last. He enjoys working one-on-one with clients to fully understand their ideas and translate them into custom designs that reflect both vision and story.
While Destin prefers larger projects such as sleeves and statement pieces, he also welcomes smaller tattoos with the same level of care and attention. Above all, he prioritizes customer experience—making sure every client feels comfortable, heard, and confident throughout the entire process.
Whether it’s your first tattoo or your next large scale project, Destin approaches every piece with intention, patience, and respect for the story behind it. He would be honored to collaborate with you and create a tattoo that feels authentic, lasting, and uniquely yours.
