About Beam

Beam’s path to tattooing began in Japan, where his fascination with traditional American culture eventually brought him to the United States. He began his tattoo career at Sid’s Tattoo Parlor in Santa Ana , learning alongside close friends and mentors before joining Torch Tattoo in Anaheim.

His work is rooted in classic American traditional tattooing — bold lines, strong shapes, vibrant color, and imagery built to have lasting visual impact. From eagles and big cats to flash-inspired designs and playful takes on pop culture, Beam brings his own personality to the old-school style that first drew him in.
