For Brock Kalani, tattooing is about more than putting ink on skin. It’s about storytelling, connection, and creating meaningful artwork that people are proud to carry for a lifetime.


With nearly two decades of experience in the creative arts, including photography, videography, production and design, Brock brings a unique artistic perspective to tattooing. His background in visual storytelling influences everything from composition and contrast to the fine details that bring a tattoo to life.


Brock enjoys working across a variety of styles, with a particular passion for black and gray realism, fine line detail, illustrative work, and custom designs. Whether it’s a meaningful memorial piece, a bold statement tattoo, or someone’s very first tattoo, he approaches every project with creativity, intention, and attention to detail.


Known for his easygoing personality, sense of humor, and genuine interest in people, Brock believes the experience should be just as memorable as the artwork itself. He takes pride in collaborating with clients, listening to their stories, and transforming their ideas into something uniquely personal.


Brock’s artistic journey is also deeply connected to his Hawaiian heritage. Having personally received traditional Hawaiian tattoo work from his cousin, a practitioner on Maui, Brock has experienced firsthand the cultural significance, ancestral connections, and storytelling traditions that make tattooing so much more than decoration. That experience has shaped his appreciation for the responsibility and meaning behind the art we choose to carry on our bodies.


Another significant influence has been his close friend and Danish tattoo artist, Daniel Paarup. Through years of friendship, travel, and shared creative experiences, Daniel helped introduce Brock to the craft from an artist’s perspective, generously sharing his knowledge, techniques, and passion for tattooing. His encouragement and mentorship played an important role in Brock’s decision to pursue tattooing professionally.


Together, these experiences helped shape Brock’s approach to tattooing: a blend of artistic craftsmanship, cultural appreciation, personal storytelling, and genuine connection with the people who trust him with their ideas.


Outside the studio, you’ll likely find Brock behind a camera at a concert, exploring Central Oregon with his dogs, enjoying live music, or finding another creative project to dive into.


His philosophy is simple: Great tattoos start with great connections, and every piece should tell a story worth keeping. External link opens in new tab or windowHave an idea in mind? Let's Talk →

Smokey Joe, also known as Smokehouse Joseph, is a Bend, Oregon-based tattoo artist whose foundation in traditional tattooing began in Southern California. Joe learned to tattoo under William "Dollar Bill" Brown at American Dream Tattoo in Covina, California, where he completed a traditional apprenticeship rooted in the classic values of the craft. After finishing his apprenticeship, he made the move to Central Oregon in search of a calmer, quieter life while continuing to pursue his passion for tattooing.


With over four years of professional experience, Joe has developed a deep appreciation for everything that makes traditional tattooing timeless. Coil machines, bold lines, solid black shading, and vibrant color are at the heart of his work, creating tattoos that honor the history and authenticity of the art form while standing the test of time.


American Traditional is Joe's true passion, and he enjoys creating bold, classic tattoos that never go out of style. Joe is dedicated to delivering tattoos built with strong fundamentals, lasting quality, and respect for the craft.  External link opens in new tab or windowHave an idea in mind? Let's Talk →

 Seth did my first tattoo and was very patient, explaining everything clearly. He was well-prepared and suggested the size and placement. Seth had four clients, he made great tweaks and shading that added dimension to the design.
