Meet the Artist

MARCUS VANE

“Every piece I create is a collaboration between my vision and your story. The skin is sacred — I treat it with the reverence it deserves.”

With over 12 years of experience and apprenticeships in Tokyo and Berlin, Marcus brings a global perspective to his craft. His work draws from the precision of Japanese irezumi, the boldness of American traditional, and the subtlety of contemporary fine line work.

Featured in Inked Magazine, Tattoo Life, and Skin Deep, Marcus has built Nocturne into one of Portland's most sought-after studios. He specializes in blackwork, neo-traditional, and custom one-of-a-kind pieces.
