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.“

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.
