Teej Poole
When you hear the words doctor and tattoo, you don’t typically imagine an individual filling both categories, am I right? However, in the case, it’s OK to refer to Teej as Dr. Tattoo. He uses a European style of black & grey Realism that has impressed tattoo enthusiasts from around the globe. He elegantly straddles the line between the prestigious world of Academic Fine Art and the grit-n-grime of tattooing. Within his work, he seamlessly weaves together realms of the conscious and subconscious, permanently embedding the dreams, fears, and fantasies into the skin. This “Doctor of Art” defies every stereotype in the book with his Realistic Surrealism portraits, lettering, and custom freehand.
Teej is the owner and an artist at Black Bird Studio in Mebane, NC.
