Jeff “Sketch” Browning is a seasoned tattoo artist whose roots run deep- born and bred in the North, a native Detroit, the Motor City itself. What was supposed to be a weekend trip to Alabama turned into a life-changing shift; he fell in love with the South’s pace, people, and energy, and ended up staying for the next 30 years.
With over a decade of tattooing experience and a lifetime of drawing behind him, Sketch brings a rare blend of Northern grit and Southern soul to his work. His background in illustration- long before he ever touched a machine- is what earned him the name “Sketch,” and it’s the foundation of his clean linework, thoughtful design, and ability to turn raw ideas into bold, long-lasting tattoos.
Known for his neo-traditional, illustrative black and grey, fine-line realism, and custom character work, Jeff approaches every tattoo with precision, patience, and respect for the craft. His philosophy is simple: strong fundamentals, original art, and tattoos built to age well.
Clients and fellow artists admire his consistency, calm presence, and commitment to delivering quality every single session. Outside the chair, he spends his time raising his daughter, riding motorcycles, and mentoring emerging artists in piercing and tattooing, for those who value craftsmanship over shortcuts.
Jeff “Sketch” Browning is more than a tattooer- he’s a storyteller with a machine, blending decades of skill, grit, and artistry into every piece he creates.
