The Artists
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.
A baddie for the baddest dude Griffin thanks man.

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!
Huge thank you to everyone who came to the @roccitytattooexpo to hang and support us and to @lovehateroc for an amazing weekend 🫵🤘🙏

Blair Masco
Artist
Hi! My name is Blair, and I’m a tattoo artist here at Cosmic Reaper. I love tattooing Anime pieces, as well as a mix of traditional and Neo-traditional styles. Really anything bold and colorful is bound to catch my eye.
I’m incredibly grateful for the entire crew at Cosmic Reaper for taking me under their wing, and my amazing clients for allowing me the space to grow my craft. Tattooing requires a level of trust and commitment between the artist and client, and I look forward to continue building those relationships in the future. My job is to bring your vision to life!
As a member of the lgbtq+ community, I want to ensure a safe and welcoming environment to all my clients. If you’d like to book an appointment, or have any questions, please reach out to me through Instagram: @Blairmasco
I have additional booking info highlighted in my Instagram bio to refer to as needed. Hope to hear from you soon!

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!
To book an appointment, DM me on Instagram at @groovy_grapefruit or email me at [email protected]
