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.

Things have been chaos for the last couple weeks, so the last thing on my mind was posting to social media. But here is a photo dump of things I’ve been working on. Enjoy.

First pass on these slightly over proportioned military ID bracelets today. For the fallen. For those who got us here. And for those that serve today. Thank you for your sacrifice.

Got to fill in some space on this today. Not my work originally. But I had fun making new flowers to fill out the arm better.

Got to make this today. I was sent a reference photo that was just a single line. I was asked to make it “fuller”. This is what I came up with. Super fun stuff!

I have time for walk ins today. Both of my appointments canceled/rescheduled. Here’s some fun stuff I’d love to do. Message me or stop in!
I forgot to share this earlier in the week. But stop in all costumed up and get a tattoo! We all have plenty of flash to go around!
Fun day today of a nice variety of tattoos. Booking for the holidays and beyond.
And today I got to add on to the #geishatattoo I finished back in July. So #healedtattoo photo to start. Then everything we added. The only stencils were the dragon head and the decapitated head on the back of the thigh. So much fun. Can’t wait til the next session.

Yesterday I made all the scales. And some lines. And all the scales. Can I interest anyone in all the scales? Can we say scales? Scales. More scales. And scales. Scales of scales. Scales on scales?
