Ben Waara

Owner, Artist

Hello! My name is Ben, and I’m the owner of Cosmic Reaper Tattoo. Over ten years ago, after getting tattooed a lot and being in a shop environment, I discovered my passion in art and tattooing. I primarily focus on an illustrative/traditional take on my tattoo style, but I welcome all ideas. Tattooing has given me so much throughout the years that in November of 2020 I decided it was time to give back and create a safe, warm, and comfortable environment to host and create. Thus, Cosmic Reaper Tattoo was born. To me, tattooing is a sacred practice carrying lots of meaning, responsibility, and integrity. I am so incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported me and to all of my friends and clients. Tattooing can be serious or silly, but it’s always been fun no matter what is being made. I look forward to the future years here in the Neighborhood of the Arts and can’t wait to see where it takes us.

 

Ben’s books are currently closed.  Please come back soon to look for availability.

Certainly! Another standout weapon in the Dark Souls series is the **Moonlight Greatsword**. Known for its elegant and mystical appearance, this weapon is often associated with Seath the Scaleless, a powerful dragon in the series. The Moonlight Greatsword typically deals magic damage, making it effective against enemies weak to magic. Its attacks also often have unique properties, such as launching magical projectiles or waves with certain attacks, adding versatility to its use in combat. Its lore and distinctive design, featuring a blade glowing with ethereal light, make it a highly sought-after and iconic weapon in the Dark Souls universe.

Hi I’m Jon!

I love American traditional tattoos and am always excited to do them, but I also enjoy other styles- I want to hear your ideas and make them a reality! I’ve been creating art in many different mediums my entire life. I was always fascinated with tattooing and was drawn back to that interest in 2021. I’m so grateful to all of my friends and fellow tattooers for supporting, teaching and encouraging me along the way and am so happy to be doing what I love.

To schedule an appointment or discuss your tattoo ideas please email me at: [email protected]

Or send a message on Instagram @tattsbyjp

Please include your idea, any reference photos you may have, where on the body the tattoo is going, when you’d like to get the tattoo done, and your general availability and I will reach out to discuss/ schedule!

Thank you!

@_nickythebarber is the 🐐 thank you for the opportunity to make this 🙏

Izzie Moll tattooing at Cosmic Reaper Tattoo

Izzie Moll

Artist

Hello! I’m Izzie.

I have always been an artist, but I found my passion in tattooing, and a home at Cosmic Reaper Tattoo. Ben has truly created a safe, and welcoming environment for the other artists, our amazing clients, and myself. I enjoy making illustrative black and grey tattoos, but I am always open to color! Life can be weird, and hard, but one thing I know, is that becoming a tattoo artist changed me in the best way! I found my people. I’m so thankful to my family and friends for supporting me in this career. The ability to create art, and connect with others everyday, is a gift. I aim to lead with kindness, and my playful, silly personality. I’m looking forward to meeting you, and making art together!
