Gordy

:: American Traditional Tattoo Artist ::

Rooted in the history of American tattooing, Gordy specializes in classic American traditional tattoos, carrying on a style with deep ties to the American military, sailors, and generations of service members.

Bold lines, timeless imagery, and meaningful symbolism are at the heart of his work. From traditional eagles, anchors, ships, and military-inspired designs to classic Americana, Gordy approaches every tattoo with an appreciation for the history behind the craft.

San Diego has a long-standing connection to military tattoo culture. For generations, sailors and Marines have marked their service, travels, milestones, and memories with tattoos that tell a story. Gordy appreciates that tradition and the role tattooing has played in military history.
