WHY BOOK WITH ME?
CUSTOM FIRST APPROACH
Every piece I create is built around your idea, your body, and your story — no cookie-cutter work here.
CONSULTATION-LED PROCESS
We plan before we tattoo. That means fewer surprises, better fit, and a design you love.
LONG-LASTING QUALITY
I bring two decades of experience into every piece-tattoos that age well and stand the test of time.
THE PROCESS
1. Fill out a Contact Form
Make sure to tell me what you’d like to have done, how soon you’d like to do it, and what days/times are best for your consultation. I reply to most messages the same day.
2. Schedule Consultation
Consultations are typically scheduled the week of first contact, pending availability. This is when we’ll discuss your idea in detail and book your tattoo appointment(s)
3. Design
I’ll handle this. I’ll design your tattoo to fit you perfectly and meet your specs, so your first session goes smoothly with no delays.
4. Tattoo Day
Finally—the big day. Time to make your tattoo dream real. All that planning is over and now its time to get to work.
I’m Steve Roberts — tattoo artist and co-owner of The East Tattoo here in Orlando. For over 20 years I’ve specialized in custom, illustrative tattoos — from Neo-Traditional and New Skool to intricate large pieces and stylized animal portraits.
At the core of my work is a simple promise:
Design with intention. Tattoo with precision. Respect your vision.
Whether you have a clear idea or want help shaping the concept, I’m here to make sure your tattoo isn’t just good — it’s yours.
