Nick Osetek
tattoo artist in durham
Nick Osetek began tattooing in 2009, first picking up a coil machine while stationed in the deserts of Iraq. A former helicopter mechanic with a background in illustration and a printmaking degree from Appalachian State University, Nick brings a deep respect for process and precision to everything he does.
His work draws from graphite realism, penmanship, and traditional intaglio techniques, translating these influences into highly detailed blackwork, fine-line, and etching-inspired tattoos. Known for his meticulous approach and steady hand, Nick focuses on creating clean, thoughtful pieces built to stand the test of time.
