The Pasadena residency marks an exciting return to California for Forte, who launched his career in the state before later moving to Texas with his family. He also completed some of his most notable celebrity work in Los Angeles, including Usher’s heavily publicized neck tattoo. For Southern California clients and collectors, the limited residency offers a rare opportunity to book time with an artist known for blending technical precision, spiritual symbolism, and large-scale body art.

444SVT is an appointment-only studio led by Master Svietliy, also known as Ajarn Sod Sai. The studio blends modern artistry with spiritual practices, offering sacred and traditional tattooing alongside meditation and community workshops. Forte is also a thoughtful and engaging interview subject with a unique perspective on creativity, spirituality, tattoo culture, and the value of handmade art in the AI era.
