Very professional and detailed in his work! **5/5** — Aaron Haynes about Satchmoe_Art (2026-07-02) > Great experience!!! Difficult coverup, but great end result. My piece isn’t finished and I’ve received crazy feedback on my sleeve. I will definitely get more work done in the near future. **5/5** — Mylon Blueford about Satchmoe_Art (2026-06-20) > Satch is a phenomenal artist. He tattooed me at the Hampton tattoo convention and he did an incredible piece. He has a really light touch so even though it was a tattoo in a painful area (back of the knee) it wasn’t a terrible experience. **5/5** — Kimberly Kelley about Satchmoe_Art (2026-06-17) > Erick never misses. I’ve been going to him for years and was pleasantly surprised by how easy TattMe made it to book an appointment with him. Communication was great from start to finish, and everything was smooth throughout the process. I went into the appointment planning to finish an existing piece and somehow walked out with one of my favorite tattoos on a completely different body part. That’s what happens when you trust Erick and let him do his thing. One of the things I appreciate most is that he keeps you involved in the design process while still bringing his own creativity to the table. He made sure we were on the same page with the vision, but also wasn’t afraid to throw out ideas that made the tattoo even better than what I originally had in mind. His work speaks for itself. Every piece I’ve gotten from him has been solid, and this one is no different. If you’re thinking about getting tattooed by Erick, do it. You won’t be disappointed. **5/5** — Evanson Boodoo about Satchmoe_Art (2026-02-23) > another great experience with Satchmoe Art.. great artist great work. **5/5** — Will Jobson about Satchmoe_Art (2026-02-14) > Absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish. Satch took my rough idea and turned it into something way better than I could have imagined. Their attention to detail, line work, and shading are next-level, you can tell they actually care about the craft and not just pushing people through the chair. Checked in throughout, and made sure the placement and sizing were perfect before the needle ever touched skin. Healing was smooth and I’ve already had multiple people ask where I got it done. If you’re looking for someone who’s professional, creative, and genuinely talented, this is the artist you want. **5/5** — Michael Kalu about Satchmoe_Art (2026-02-03) > cover up came out 🔥- the experience was also great. Getting a few more done with my artist **5/5** — Terrence Fullum about Satchmoe_Art (2026-01-26) > This is my 5th tattoo with my guy Satch and he overdelivers every single time! One of the absolute best in the game. Can’t wait for tattoo number 6! ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does a realism tattoo cost? Verified artists in this category start at around $150, with the final price depending on size, detail, placement, and the artist's experience level. ### How do I find the best realism tattoo artist for me? Browse the 2 verified realism artists on TattMe, compare portfolios, and read client reviews. Look specifically for artists whose existing work matches the size, color palette, and level of detail you want — a great realism artist isn't automatically a great traditional artist, even within the same studio. ### Where on the body does realism work best? Realism can work almost anywhere, but the right placement depends on the design's complexity. Highly detailed pieces need enough surface area to read clearly — back, thigh, and full sleeves typically work best for intricate work, while simpler designs translate well to forearm, calf, or rib placements. Ask your artist for placement advice before you commit. ### Does realism age well over time? Realism ages best when the underlying technique is sound — clean lines, appropriate ink density, and placement away from high-friction or sun-exposed areas all matter more than the style itself. Verified TattMe artists publish their portfolios with healed work where available, so you can see how their pieces look months or years out. ### Where can I find realism tattoo artists near me?
