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 currrently closed.

What is this knights secret ability? Is it a necromancy cantrip? Is it an uncanny dodge after an attack? Is it the ability to flip pancakes perfectly every time? Who knows. Thank you Dylan for letting me do this one. Please move home now. Thank you.

Got to give my dad @patwaaramusic his first tattoo! Can’t believe we did the whole thing in one shot. Wouldn’t be where I am today without the most awesome parents ever. Full circle moment!
