Aaron Hodges is a multidisciplinary artist whose work brings together tattooing, oil painting, and historical storytelling. Often centered around nautical themes and historical or contemporary events, his imagery unfolds through dark, muted palettes and carefully constructed narratives. His tattoo work draws inspiration from artists like Burchette, Bigmore, and Collins, while his oil paintings look to the dramatic compositions and techniques of Renaissance masters such as Rembrandt, Caravaggio, and Rubens.

It's where these two disciplines meet that Aaron's work finds its own distinct identity. Tattoo traditions and classical painting come together to create imagery with depth, atmosphere, and a strong sense of narrative. For collectors drawn to art with history, character, and a point of view, Aaron's work offers something that goes beyond the image itself.

Aaron owns and tattoos at Hidden Coast Tattoo in Sebastopol, California. Follow his work on Instagram at @aaronhodgesart or visit aaronhodgesart.com.
