Kyle aka Murph, Murphbongo, Drop Kick Murph, Monkey Murph, Oat Goat, Vegan Kyle, our senior artist.
This man of many names has been tattooing since 2011 and has been leaving his mark on people ever since.
He’s most at home creating black and grey realism, nature-inspired pieces, detailed landscapes, and sacred geometry.
He loves the challenge of bringing a vision to life, whether that means capturing every tiny detail in a realism piece or finding the perfect balance in a geometric design.
Known for his patience, steady hand, and eye for detail, Kyle takes the time to work with each client to create something unique and designed to last.
He’s the kind of artist who genuinely cares about the finished product and wants every person who sits in his chair to leave with something they’re proud to wear for life.
Kyle joined the Thrive family in June 2018 and has been a staple of the shop ever since.
Chances are if you’ve spent any time around the studio, you’ve seen him quietly doing what he does best; creating solid tattoos or asking what we’re making for dinner.
