Meet Nic, a tattoo artist whose journey to becoming a full-time tattoo artist reads like a script written by the divine hand of God himself. His artistic odyssey began with childhood sketches of Disney characters, a pastime shared with his mom. Fast forward through five enriching years of art school, where Nic honed his craft and earned not one, but two art degrees — specializing in drawing, painting, and art history. Portraiture and abstract expressionism became his playground, his canvas, his passion.

After graduation, Nic found himself in the Cedar Valley, applying his talents to the creation and installation of captivating graphics. But amidst the hustle and bustle of his career, a serendipitous moment unfolded. While getting a tattoo of his daughter's tiny footprint, Nic found himself drawn to the tattoo artist’s voice, evangelizing in the neighboring chair. It was in that moment, amidst ink and introspection, that Nic felt the call to redirect his artistic journey towards a higher purpose. Feeling the push from the Lord, Nic embarked on an apprenticeship under Ian Foley, at Foley Ink’d.

Now with the unwavering support of his wife, Alyssa, and countless prayers, Nic has embarked on a new path — one guided by faith and anchored in his love for art. Today, as the owner of WayMaker Ink LLC, Nic stands at the crossroads of creativity and conviction, ready to infuse every stroke of his tattoo gun with meaning and purpose.

Specializing in black and grey realism, Nic's artistry knows no bounds. From concept pieces to pre-drawn designs, he approaches each project with reverence, eager to collaborate and transform visions into realities. As a certified Skin Motion Tattoo Artist, Nic adds an extra layer of innovation to his repertoire, blending technology with tradition.

But beyond his technical prowess lies a heart that beats for something greater. Nic prioritizes God above all else, his family close behind. With every tattoo session, he seeks to spark Gospel-driven conversations, weaving narratives that transcend skin deep. Whether you're a believer or a skeptic, Nic welcomes you with open arms, eager to hear your story and share in your journey.

In honor of his wife and the significant others of female clients, Nic has chosen to refrain from tattooing discrete areas on women, a testament to his respect and reverence for all. So, whether you're looking for a meaningful piece to mark a milestone or simply seeking to adorn your skin with artistry, Nic invites you to join him in this sacred dance of creation and collaboration.
