Will Thompson Tattoo, Painting, and Photo Art Painting Tattoo Biography Painting Tattoo Biography

 

Will ThompsonHello.  My name is Will and I have been tattooing for over 17 years.  I've been working here at Outer Limits for more than 7 years and managing the shop for 6.  Although I call SoCal my home, I have lived and worked in Northern Cali, spending five years in San Francisco near Berkeley.

I come from a long family line of accomplished artists; creativity and artistry are in my blood.  Growing up, my parents gave me the ample time and support I needed to explore my creativity and expand upon my interests to become the person I am today. I’ve spent almost two decades perfecting my craft and continue to grow and learn with every new tattoo.

Other than tattooing, my hobbies include: painting, sculpting, welding, photography, make-up artistry, collecting books, and riding any kind of bike or board.  Art is my obsession and will continue to be my life-long passion.

My extensive book collection and love for knowledge have provided me with a well rounded and comprehensive understanding of the design of objects, art forms, and anatomy.  Meaning, if you can imagine it, I can tattoo it.  I pride myself on listening to my customer’s needs and giving them their vision, not mine. I feel most accomplished when I give my client's exactly what they've envisioned...   and more than they could have ever imagined.

I am not an artist who only focuses on one style or subject; I feel that only limits my creativity and growth as a professional.  I am well prepared for all styles and can do anything you request: full color dynamic, portraits, bio-mechanical, traditional classic American, black and grey, Japanese, Celtic, pin-up, you name it!  I love working on larger tattoos, such as full back, arm, chest, or leg pieces because it gives me the room I need to turn that person's body into another landscape. That does not mean I don't equally enjoy the smaller tattoos, they're just over too quickly.  My focus is on making every tattoo crisp, clean, and exactly the right proportion for your body.

I prefer to work by appointment considering it gives me time to research and design your ideal piece; however, I gladly take walk-ins.


Please call to schedule a consultation and see if I am the right artist for you.
