When Maverick Mayes was growing up in Miami, FL as a child he took to art naturally. He would draw his favorite cartoons, the scenery surrounding him, and even a face from time to time.

Maverick moved to Fort Lauderdale, FL when he was a teenager where he began his passion for tattooing. Since beginning his tattoo career Maverick is mostly self taught. He spent his high school years tattooing his friends. The following years Maverick started working in a couple of different tattoo shops, building up both his skills, and his portfolio.

These days, Maverick is known for creating black and gray realism and surrealism tattoos that you can recognize from across the room. His custom design process includes everything from photoshop, procreate, and 3D modeling. That way each tattoo is it’s own original piece of art.

Always striving to get better, Maverick is always learning as much about art that he can. Maverick completed some online seminars from world renowned tattoo artist Thomas Carli Jarlier, here he found his love for tattooing more detailed pieces, and it gave Maverick the confidence to execute them properly. Maverick started to push his own envelope further and further with each tattoo he creates, and has no intention of stopping.

When he’s not tattooing, Maverick enjoys spending time with his wife and kids, designing tattoos, 3D art & even some photography.
