Co-Owner & Artist
Christopher "Church" Oppenheim
Photorealism & All Styles
"26 years. Every style. One standard."
Christopher "Church" Oppenheim is an internationally recognized tattoo artist with over 26 years of professional experience. Known for his award-winning work and exceptional attention to detail, Church has built a loyal client base that spans the United States and beyond — with clients regularly traveling internationally to sit in his chair. While best known for his photorealism, Church's versatility allows him to excel in nearly every style. Whether it's a custom sleeve, a lifelike portrait, a large-scale project, or a cover-up, every piece is approached with the same level of precision and artistry. After building their business in Los Angeles, Church and his wife Kristina returned home to Maryland — first opening a private studio before expanding into Prodigal Son Studios in Fallston.

Artist
Jesse Wilson
Illustrative & Realism
"Bold color. Organic form. Built to last."
Jesse Wilson is a versatile tattooer with over 15 years of experience. His background in realism fuels the bold, colorful illustrative style he's known for. He blends abstract elements with deliberate design, using organic shapes and dynamic composition to create tattoos that hit hard and stand the test of time. Jesse is a Harford County native and spends his time outdoors when he's not making art — a deep connection to nature that inspires his style and is reflected in every tattoo.
