About us
Next Carve Kreations (NCK) was born from friendship, passion, and a shared desire to build something unique. We, Joey Patty and Samuel Vallas, have known each other since childhood. In 1999, NCK emerged as a name within our close-knit group of friends. What began as a symbol of friendship under the same initials – NCK – has now grown into a brand that represents craftsmanship, creativity, and character.
Our vision
We believe that customization is more than decoration. It's identity. An engraving can honor a past, tell a story, or simply enhance your style.
We've since completed various training courses and developed our technical skills, both in hand engraving and in working with professional engraving systems. This foundation is in place. We're ready to take on work and execute projects at a high level.
At the same time, learning remains part of our profession—development never stops. We continuously invest in new techniques and professional equipment, from rotary engraving machines to air-powered systems, to take every project to the next level.
NCK isn't a hobby. It's a brand built on friendship, discipline, and a passion for the craft. What once began as a name among friends now stands for creations with character.
Motorcycles have been a common thread in our lives for years. The culture, the freedom, the sound, the details. The iconic American V-twins, in particular, inspire us. From that passion, the idea arose to not only ride, but also create.
Joey brings his background as an experienced tattoo artist, with roots in traditional Moluccan tattoo art. His sense of line, composition, and symbolism translates into refined hand engravings with depth and meaning. Samuel has a background in ICT and design, which he complements with structure, precision, and innovative ideas. While Joey lives and breathes craft, Samuel provides the vision and foundation behind it.
Together we combine creativity with technical mastery and build something that goes beyond just engraving.
The meaning of NCK
Next stands for progress. For continuous development, continuous learning, and always seeking the next level of craftsmanship. Every engraving is a new chapter.
Carve is at the heart of what we do. Engraving isn't decoration; it's adding character to metal. It takes time, focus, and respect for the material.
Kreations , deliberately spelled with a K, emphasizes that what we make is not mass-produced. Each piece is unique. Every design tells a story.
What we make
We engrave motorcycle parts, car parts, and other robust metal objects. Think of tank consoles, steering wheels, derby covers, foot controls, or even fully customized parts. Everything is hand-finished with an eye for detail and durability.
Besides engravings, we also develop our own merchandise line. Clothing and accessories that reflect the same mentality: raw, honest, and personal. Anyone who wears or commissions NCK is consciously choosing craftsmanship and individuality.

Ons werk. Onze handen. Ons verhaal.
Achter elk stuk dat wij maken zit meer dan techniek.
Er zit geschiedenis in, vakmanschap, cultuur en karakter.
Wat op het eerste gezicht metaal lijkt, draagt altijd een verhaal.
In onze portfolio zie je geen standaard ontwerpen, maar werk dat met de hand is opgebouwd.
Van traditionele symboliek tot rauwe custom designs voor de motorcultuur.
Alles wat wij maken is persoonlijk.
Bekijk ons werk en ontdek wat er mogelijk is wanneer betekenis en metaal samenkomen.
Joey Patty
Joey brengt eeuwenoude traditie naar het heden. Als handtapper binnen de Molukse Pa’atei-traditie werkt hij intuïtief en met diepe kennis van symboliek en afkomst. Zijn werk draait niet om decoratie, maar om identiteit. Diezelfde precisie en spirit vertaalt hij naar metaal door middel van handgravure. Wat normaal in de huid wordt gezet, krijgt bij ons een blijvende vorm in staal.
Samuel Vallas
Samuel combineert technische precisie met creatief ontwerp. Met een achtergrond in engineering en oog voor detail bouwt hij gravures laag voor laag op, met focus op diepte, contrast en duurzaamheid. Zijn werk kenmerkt zich door strakke lijnen, sterke composities en een rauwe, tijdloze uitstraling die perfect past binnen de motorcultuur.
