HEY, I’M PAYTON CALE

Do you have a fun new tattoo idea?  Let’s talk about it!  I currently specialize in black and grey, and I love doing spooky, dark and twisted types of tattoos.  I also enjoy the glitter style, flowers, and traditional style tattoos.

I’ve known since a young age that I was meant to do something creative.  I come from a very artistic family.  My mom was a cake decorator and decorative painter for most of my childhood.  She is now a published author and I illustrate her book covers.

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up.  The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

– Thomas Edison


MY INSPIRATION

I remember when I found my first tattoo magazine.  I was instantly intrigued and I knew that was what I wanted to do.  I started drawing, painting, and taking classes through school so that when I turned eighteen, I could be an apprentice.

At eighteen years old, I started my apprenticeship.  It was a rocky start the first few years, but with the support of my family and friends, I’ve made it to where I am now.  I can’t wait to continue making fun creative tattoos for everyone.    

My three biggest tattoo inspirations are Kelly Doty, Megan Massacre, and Ryan Ashley.
