The blue butterfly next to his Instagram handle—@dshewaspretty—hints at a man who speaks through lines, ink, and skin. Tattoo artist Snoeks boasts a celebrity clientele eager for his touch, and a quick glance at his feed reveals why. His portfolio blends icons like Steve McQueen and Humphrey Bogart with images of Snoeks himself: a rockabilly throwback with a modern edge, driven by motorbike culture and sharp selvedge denim. His Papa New Guinean and Dutch roots merge into a South Pacific Elvis aesthetic, with the artistic finesse of Rembrandt on skin.
Snoeks’ studios in Vancouver and Los Angeles stand as cutting-edge hubs of cool while retaining a nostalgic charm. His magnetism, talent, and ambition make him a symbol of aspiration in his adopted cities.
If his presence alone exudes credibility, imagine the impact his artistry could have on you. Like the butterfly he embodies, his work continues to captivate and transform.
