Hello. My name is Otis B. Arterberry 3rd. With 25 years of experience as a professional tattoo artist, I have dedicated my life to mastering the art of both traditional and digital mediums. My journey began with the precision of pencil sketches, the vibrant hues of acrylic paint, and the smooth transitions of airbrushing, each technique allowing me to explore different facets of my creativity.

Twelve years ago, I stumbled upon the world of clay sculpting and instantly fell in love with the medium. The tactile nature of clay offers a unique form of artistic expression that is both challenging and deeply satisfying. There is no better feeling than to have something in your head and heart and to be able to create and hold a physical version of your thought in your hands. To me, that is absolutely mind-blowing.

Art has always been more than just a profession; it’s a passion and a gift that I am extremely thankful for every day. Each piece I create is a reflection of my journey, my experiences, and my continuous evolution as an artist. I am committed to pushing the boundaries of my creativity and exploring new techniques and styles.

At Blaqlion Studios, I look forward to sharing my artistic journey with you. Whether through a tattoo, a painting, a digital artwork, or a clay sculpture, my goal is to create pieces that resonate with you and bring your own visions to life. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I am excited to share my passion and creations with you.
