Where creativity meets clarity.

I’m Des, a tattoo artist specializing in painterly watercolor and color realism work.
I focus on creating custom tattoos that feel personal and expressive, while also keeping longevity in mind to make something that can grow and move with you.

My approach is slow, intentional, and collaborative - designed around your comfort and confidence throughout the process.

  • Desirae Brandonisio

    Artist

    I started my tattoo apprenticeship at Truth & Triumph Tattoo in 2017 and have been growing and expanding my artistic knowledge ever since.
    I also enjoy oil painting and watercolor work, which I love combining with detailed realism in my tattooing.

    I focus on creating custom pieces that feel personal, expressive and built to last. Drawn to work that flows with the body and feels like it belongs there, I focus on creating pieces that aren’t just beautiful in looks, but pieces that feel right long term. This work is personal to me, too.

    If my work resonates with you, I’d love to create something together.
