Trevor miller

I’m Trevor Miller: a non-believer and over achiever, specializing in fineline, Los Angeles lowrider handwriting.  I take heavy inspiration from black and grey tattoo culture, and I’ve developed my style of lettering over the last decade to represent the streets of L.A.- and I have used it as a passport to the world when I’m not at my home base at Fiveball tattoo in Venice Beach, CA.  

My journey with tattooing started with a strong passion for custom lettering. As a young man, I was inspired to draw from looking at Mister Cartoon’s work; his creativity and original style was and is my greatest inspiration. A few years into drawing letters, I met Cartoon though booking a tattoo appointment, with the sole purpose of asking to work under him in any capacity. A very long story short; that day led to full-time employment, and eventually after 3 years of work I was offered an apprenticeship under him. Being brought up in his private studio I had seen first hand how a high level tattoo shop was operated and been around many celebrity clientele. Cartoon puts a heavy emphasis on client experience; whether it be for Kobe Bryant, Travis Scott, Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, Eminem, or just a working class individual who saved up for an investment in artwork- the experience remains the same. Now, a few years after I was given Cartoon’s stamp of approval, I am a full time tattooer, and  committed to proving him right in choosing me as an apprentice- and with the same emphasis on experience for my own clients

Tattooing under the mentorship of Mister Cartoon since 2018, but drawing the majority of my life, my goal is to make custom lettering; designed one-off, and  specific to you alone.  From elegant script, to gangster shit and everything in between. I’m represented by my sponsor Hustle Butter Deluxe, being a part of their pro team of artists since 2024.
