Prayers for the family.
Brian was an amazing artist and great friend. I will miss our times together. It still does not feel real that you are gone way too soon. I know you are watching over us. Rest until we meet again. Love, PJ
I met Brian back in 2012 when he gave me my first tattoo of his. It was my largest piece and he could see I was a little nervous. He went at my pace and talked me through it. After that I went on to add 4 more from him. My heart aches for his family as they navigate this new chapter. Forever thinking of his family. I’m so blessed to have met Brian and have his art on me.
I’m sorry to hear this,he was always a nice guy when we spoke..my deepest sympathy to the family.God bless..Rest easy
Post military Brian was a savior and a great friend to me! While getting tattooed i was able to talk bout military stuff alot know nothing about! Imma miss you brother!!! Ty for being an amazing person!
I’m very sorry to hear about Brian’s passing. I’m very glad I stopped by the new shop the other day. Brian helped us out at several of our events by setting up and doing tattoos as well as gift cards. We’ll definitely miss him. Prayers for the family and don’t hesitate to ask if you need anything.

My heart is aching, your wings were ready but my heart was not. You were taken to soon but you are in good hands. Forever remembered forever missed. I loved you so much and always will. My prayers are with Melissa, Devlin and Sarah.

My condolences to Melissa, Devlin and Sarah. Brian was one of a kind I was always glad to see him coming through the front door he made my day. I will miss you so much.
Love, Barbara
I’m so sorry to hear about Brian and I was in complete shock. He helped me through some tough times and gave me a chance at a better life when nobody else would. He took me under his wing and offered me a tattoo apprenticeship free to help get me on my feet. Thanks to him I bettered myself, went back to school and became a veterinary assistant and still practice the artwork skills he taught me. You are greatly missed brother.😞
I am glad I got to meet Brian many years ago, even if only briefly. I remember how excited I was to learn I had a cousin. My mother also recently passed away unexpectedly (his Aunt). I am thinking of the rest of Brian’s family and sorry for your loss. He was a very talented artist.
So sorry to hear of his passing , My God Bless him and his Family keep them in his hands close and help them in this trying time , We will keep yall in our prayers .
Happy Happy 50th Brian… I hope you have the best day, hopefully hanging out w/ your Grandpa!
I can’t believe it’s been 1 year since you passed. I look at the tattoos you did for me & think of you often. I know you are making wherever you are a more artistic place. You were an amazing person & are definitely missed down here 🍃
