Caff

Tattoo Artist at Dire Wolf Tattoo

Caff is one of the many talented artists located at Direwolf Tattoo Studio. They love to collaborate on custom pieces with their clients while being mindful of individuals' cultural contexts. Cultivating a safe community for people of all ethnicities, identities, and experiences is something they aspire to.

Their style brings the creativity of a sketchbook to life on skin, utilizing scratchy and bold lines. Growing up playing dnd and video games offered an escape from the stress and grief of real life. Many of the characters and narratives brought them comfort, and being able to offer a symbol of that comfort is fulfilling. They’ve always been fascinated by mysteries and creepy stories, and love to capture cryptids in their designs, drawing from old folktales and stories they grew up reading. Along with telling scary stories, Caff frequently seeks out remote places in the outdoors to feel free and spends time studying nature to emulate botanical forms in their style. The punk movement is a social movement they are passionate about; representing punk imagery and symbolism is one of the ways they feel they can support the cause.
