About
My name is Derek Dufresne. I have been tattooing since 1999 and have won numerous awards across Canada and the US for my tattoos and artwork. I have had tattoos published and feature stories in dozens of tattoo magazines, newspapers etc worldwide. I have owned tattoo studios in Victoria, BC, Canada and New Orleans, LA and I am now creating custom work at Mind's Eye Tattoo Studio in Tacoma. I specialize in expressive Japanese-inspired tattoos, including dragons, phoenixes, sleeves, and larger pieces, horror themed tattoos, realism while also welcoming walk in flash and coverup ideas. I work closely with each client to turn a concept into artwork that feels personal, considered, and built to last. I also create original paintings and art for collectors.
