Two Decades

MORE THAN 20 YEARS WITH A TATTOO MACHINE

Originally from El Paso, Texas, Dorian has spent more than two decades tattooing and now works out of Tattoo Asylum in Banning, California, where he also manages the shop. When he isn’t at Tattoo Asylum, you’ll find him traveling for conventions, guest spots and whatever new project has managed to grab his attention.

STYLE & APPROACH

HARD TO PUT IN A BOX

Black & grey realism, portraits, horror, color, Japanese-inspired work, neo-traditional and large-scale custom pieces all have a place in Dorian’s portfolio. The goal was never to spend an entire career inside one style. If something is worth learning, it’s worth pushing until it becomes part of the arsenal.

Black & Grey Realism

Bio-Organic & Japanese

Intricate Cover-Ups

Mastery of tonal range and subtle textures to create lifelike depth and form. Precision in every shadow and highlight.

Seamless integration of organic forms and traditional motifs, respecting anatomical flow and cultural heritage.

Transforming existing work into new art. Complex solutions designed to conceal, enhance, and endure with grace.

“Tattoos so good they get you laid!”

STILL LEARNING. STILL MAKING SHIT.

Tattooing never killed the urge to learn something new. Leatherwork turned into belts, wallets and holsters, then somehow turned into hand-built leather skulls because apparently making normal things wasn’t enough. That same mentality carries into tattooing: learn it, push it and figure out what else it can become.
