JD Brosius
Code Name: Pigment Surgery
Born and raised in central PA, JD has doodled on anything and everything, since he was old enough to wrap his little sausage fingers around whatever was within reach. JD is a self taught artist of multi-mediums. He has worked on everything from drawing, painting, comic books, mold making, 3-D modeling/sculpting, scale dioramas, custom action figures, and, of course, tattooing.
JD has been tattooing since 2012, with experience in a wide array of art styles and genres, ranging from illustrative, realism, traditional and neo-traditional, fine-line, etc. JD is completely comfortable with black and gray, or full color tattoo work. From horror to cartoons, the nerdier, or creepier, the better.

First tattoo time for Ryan! And he sat like a champ! I also drew everything on skin but forgot to take a picture before we started.

Well, here’s the bittersweet part of tattooing. I have completed Michael’s sleeve today. I’m very happy with how it turned out and glad to say it is complete. But, I will miss the hang out sessions. Talking shows and video games and the fun shenanigans of our lives. With that, I will post a completed video of this work in a few weeks after it is all healed. Thank you so much Michael! And til next time, homie!
