This won tattoo of the day for Friday at the convention in Monroeville thank you for sticking this one out with me at the show,Stephanie. I can’t wait to get more of it done! Obviously there’s more to add onto this #killerklownsfromouterspace piece stay tuned for more!
In honor of Star Wars weekend! I have a few I wanna put up here this weekend. We’ll start with this one. Looking forward to getting more of this Sleeve done!
#saintmichael themed tattoo. Our own little creation @blackarmortattoo
Almost completed! #cthulu #cthulutattoo #hplovecraft @blackarmortattoo thank you @boostedvenom
Marvel sleeve I started a little while ago. I have another pass I have to do on the other characters before I post more of this project! @blackarmortattoo
More progress on my Cobra legsleeve! #gijoe #cobra #cobracommander #destro #zartan #tattoocoverup
Completed second session video on this piece we started late last year. You can tell the fresh bottom portion compared to the healed top portion and how the tones change after the tattoo heals up. Two of the hardest things to do tattooing wise in my opinion are realism and snakes and she picked both! Needless to say it took a little bit of time, but I think the end result is pretty awesome! #greywashtattoo #blackandgreytattoo #realistictattoo #snaketattoo @blackarmortattoo
80 lbs. of some big ass coils! Thanks @beatnikvonzipper for letting me handle your machine. Respect!
Final pass on this lower arm sleeve. Will have to get a final “healed” video and pics next time. #greekmythology #hades #cerberus #greekgods @blackarmortattoo
Full sleeve with a focus on architecture and negative space. Looking to do more of this style! Email the shop with your ideas and or references for my consideration. Booking new projects for summer of ‘25! @blackarmortattoo and thank you @otter0119 for trusting me to do this for you. I appreciate you sir!
Finally started my cobra project for my leg. This is just the beginning. I know how much it hurts to tattoo yourself, and knowings half the battle! #gijoe #cobra #cobracommander @blackarmortattoo

This was a monumental moment for us last night at the shop. Can’t believe this much time has passed so quickly, but I would like to formally announce that Dillon has successfully made his way through the apprentice program at my studio. I have seen this young man grow so much as an artist, and a businessman in such a short amount of time. I am very proud for how far you’ve come, and am so excited to see you continue to learn and grow with us! Congratulations brother! Your hard work is paying off for you already and this is just the beginning.
Had some special clients come in today. Jaime finally got her tattoo for our Emmi girl. And Zane got his TMNT hand tatt! @mrs_c0rbett

Tree of death/hive mind roots • lots of stencil, lots of sharpie drawn on parts. Done the second day of the convention. B has huge calves…still cranked this all out in about 6 hours.
Valentines diva frog on Valentine’s Day β£οΈBeautiful way to ring in the first day of the Pittsburgh tattoo convention. Huge thank you to Macy, this is her third frog tattoo btw.
Part 2 to Gigi’s new school leg sleeve/ her pet Emu. Insanely fun project for me. Creatively challenging to press the limits of what’s possible, cute, funny and a good tattoo.
.
Gigi has given me a ton of freedom and flexibility with this sleeve outside of what she asked for and that’s been a dream! (That’s also how you get the best results)

Neo firefly/petal combo for Hope. Throat tattoos are difficult for all parties involved. She crushed this.

Thought this picture of @zroyaltyart tattooing me in Maui would be a great way to acknowledge that it just became 2 years of tattooing for me. To share how special this industry is with an immediate connection to other tattooers from all over the world has been just a small fraction of what tattooing has done for me. I can barely fathom that it’s been 2 years. It feels like I was an apprentice yesterday and like I’ve been meant to mark people my whole life. I’ve given tattooing every single part of me since the very start and it’s given right back. It’s my whole life blood and soul. It’s never been a job or a career, it’s beyond just passion for me. Getting to spread that passion and love on people in such a permanent ritual is beyond special. Thank you to everyone who has sat in my chair and let me spread that passion. I’ll die with my machine in my hand. π€
Start to Gigi’s new school sleeve. Portrayal of her African grey parrot who can’t grow feathers on its body. This was such a blast to draw and work on. I love new school tattooing. Excited to get more on ya.

Wow papa, I’m a real boy now π I graduated my apprenticeship. If I could write a whole novel confessing my love for tattooing, it still wouldn’t mean half as much as what tattooing has done for me already. It’s not just a dream to wake up and spread art out in the world on all of you beautiful ass people, it’s everything I’ve ever wanted. Thank you to Russell for not only being an amazing mentor and guidance, but a friend as well. I wouldn’t want to paint an entire tattoo shop from top to bottom again, but I’d do it a million times over if it means getting to be a part of something this special. Now enough of the sappy cornball shit and back to being a tattoo toddler πΆπΌ

DANTE R. DOWNEY-WALKER
Anime / Neo-Trad / Japanese
I’m Dante Downey Walker, a tattoo artist at Black Armor Tattoo in Murrysville, PA. I’ve been tattooing for over a year now, building my craft through consistent work, solid mentorship, and a focus on growth. I care about giving people tattoos that hold up — clean, bold, and built to last.
Each week I put out new flash and keep pushing myself to refine what I do. Whether it’s a custom idea or something off the sheet, I want every piece to feel right for the person wearing it.
AVAILABILITY: Tues- Sat
Hourly Rate: $120
Available for both flash and custom work. Clean lines, smooth shading, and a straightforward process.
Reach out to book.
ο»Ώ
Such a rad floral sleeve that we’ve been continuously building on over multiple sessions. This piece is really starting to come to life. Grateful to keep working on this one and excited to see where it goes.
Thanks again to my client for sitting like a champ. More to come soon.

His and hers — two hungry bees, two waffles, and a shared love for one another (and maybe breakfast too).
Did these matching tattoos for a couple who wanted something fun, goofy, and totally their own.
He pitched the idea, she doubled down, and now they’ve got a pair of buzzing breakfast buddies for life.
Got something weird and personal you wanna wear forever? I’m into it — let’s make it happen.

Praying hands and script on the calf. Went with clean linework and no fill to keep the focus on form, flow, and that etched style. “Fervently” ties into the meaning behind the piece — quiet strength, commitment, and intention. Thanks for the trust homie! I appreciate you.

Lined these flowers to build out a floral tattoo on the upper arm. Kept the flow tight with the existing piece and kept it all clean linework. Shading is next! What kind of blackwork floral designs do you want to see more of?

Soul Eater and One Piece meet to fill the gap—Ace’s will burns on while the Sun and Moon grin down. Forearm gap fillers like this keep the flow going. Looking to add to your collection? Hit up my bio to book!

Had no walk-ins on Saturday, so I used the time to cover up an old tattoo. That little Naruto head was my second tattoo, but it was time for something new. The kanji above it is from Soul Eater: ‘A sound soul dwells in a sound mind and a sound body,’ and Naruto didn’t quite fit. With spooky season coming, I brought in Lord Death from Soul Eater to cover it up—because sometimes, even tattoos need a little death to come back to life. Enjoy βοΈ

π Spooky season is here, so you know I had to cook up some fresh tattoo flash! Here’s a breakdown of these skulls, all ready to be tattooed for the bold ones out there:
Sword and Skull - A decaying skull impaled on a vine-wrapped sword, perfect for anyone wanting a mix of nature and death vibes.
Melting Candle Skull - This one’s literally melting away! A skull turned candle, with wax dripping down like it’s fading into the afterlife.
Crowned Skull with Axe - King no more! A cracked skull with a battle axe right through the crown.
Surrender to the Savages!
Mushroom Skull - Fungi takeover! A skull covered in mushrooms, growing through it like it’s become one with the earth again.
These pieces are prime for spooky season tattoos, and l’m hyped for the opportunity to tattoo. DM me to book a session and let’s make it happen.

Whaddup! Here’s the latest in practicing coloring and blending. Bugz is getting filled in. I had some issues with fake skin and the black outline blending into the colors. But that won’t happen on actual skin and I had fun doing this. For this piece, I laid down the lines first, making sure to get those crisp lines just right. Then, I switched to coloring, focusing on smooth blends and vibrant hues. I’ll get to the grill at some point π
. Stay tuned for more to come, peace!

Laying down some ink on fake skin with Marvin the Martian. Wrapping up the Tune Squad, and he was the last one. It’s awesome to tattoo characters I grew up watching and decided to thug out. For this piece, I started with the outline, carefully working on those crisp lines to capture Marvin’s iconic look. Then, I switched to a smaller needle grouping to work in the finer details. Should I add some color? π€ Stay tuned for the next steps! Thanks for all the love and support, peace!

HAPPY SATURDAY & Happy May 4th, ya geeks.
I present to you the Dark Side Star Wars Flash Sheet.
To celebrate this fandom day, I created a Dark Side Japanese flash sheet. Its a little detail for a flash sheet but I wanted to have some fun with this one. Taking done head shots of some classic villains.
Those of the Dark Side: Darth Vader, the imposing Sith Lord; Darth Maul, the fierce Zabrak warrior; General Grievous, the cyborg commander; Boba Fett, the notorious bounty hunter; and a stormtrooper, the iconic foot soldier of the Empire.
You can find my linework available at @blackarmortattoo flash event today! Swing on by for some sick Star Wars Flash.

A recent redo of an older design I did of Sun Wukong: the Monkey King, a legendary figure in Chinese mythology celebrated for his cunning, strength, and magical abilities. Featured prominently in “Journey to the West,” he embodies the spirit of adventure and heroism, captivating hearts with his timeless tale of triumph and self-discovery.I threw this design on my first fake skin as an apprentice to practice some tattooing, so stay tuned for some ink’d lines π. Peace!

Here’s my latest drawing….A “Tiger Shark”. The general approach was to take some animals and fuse them into their own creature/chimera. I’ve blended various animal traits to craft this unique creature, drawing inspiration from nature’s naming patterns. The end result being a cool ass Japanese Tiger Shark. Let me know what you think!

1 week ago the fine-line killer @butz.tattoos knocked out some killer kanji from the anime “Soul Eater” onto my thigh. “A sound soul, dwells within a sound mind, and a sound body”. Once I saw his script work I knew he was the dude to go to! The junior artist tattooing the apprentice. Hit my guy up for the upcoming Flash Day Event, April 6th. Be there or be square!
Sketch and line work of the recent “Tiger Shark” I’m still working on. I maybe redrew this 3-4 times π
but it was worth it. Time to give it some color now, Enjoy βοΈ

Wow, this one really stumped me. Just like millions of people worldwide, Akira Toriyama served as the motivation and inspiration for countless artists in their early days.
Like many others, I grew up glued to DBZ. I vividly remember my preschool/elementary days, sitting in front of the TV before school. Despite lacking cable, we had a handful of channels. Dragonball Z and Sailor Moon filled the half-hour slot before the morning news. Each day, I marveled at the lightning-fast battles of the Saiyans. That was just the beginning for me; I hadn’t even heard of the term “anime” yet.
Over the years, Dragonball remained the cornerstone of my passion for anime. Akira’s passing prompted me to reflect on the countless memories and years shaped by his work.
Thank you, Akira. You shaped my childhood, as well as that of countless others. Your legacy will endure.
Excited to share my latest tattoo design! ποΈ Adding a subtle drop shadow really brought this piece to life. Hope you enjoy βοΈ

Let’s delve into the digital realm with ‘The Horned King.’ Unlike the previous traditional piece, I brought this version to life entirely on my iPad, fully embracing the precision and limitless creative potential of digital art.
In this rendition, I aimed to capture every eerie aspect of the Horned King, including the unsettling, otherworldly green aura that surrounds him, along with the chilling cruelty in his eyes. His skeletal hands firmly clutch his foreboding throne chair, underscoring his malevolent presence.
Stay tuned for more spine-tingling creations this Halloween season! π»

Here’s my finished portrayal of ‘The Horned King,’ created on Arches watercolor paper using a sumi ink brush and UV ink. This piece was a thrilling return to traditional art after years of digital work. I missed the hands-on process and the subtle imperfections that give art character.
Expect more spooky art this Halloween!
The Horned King exudes darkness and malevolence, shrouded in tattered robes with distinctive, menacing black horns. In this piece, his skeletal hands grip his ominous throne chair, emphasizing his foreboding presence. I aimed to capture his eerie eyes, glowing with cruelty.

The other night, I had a great art session! I was working on this rose tattoo, and I’m still trying to figure out which needle cartridges work best. It’s been quite a journey of learning and experimenting, and I’m really enjoying it. I hope everyone had a fantastic Labor Day weekend. And, as always, I’m open to any critiques and advice that can help me improve. Thanks so much for following along!

Witness the synergy between two iconic figures in my timelapse creation: Sung Jin Woo, the resolute protagonist of “Solo Leveling,” and the enigmatic God statue. Just as Sung Jin Woo’s evolution from an E-rank hunter to an S-rank showcases the potential for human growth and determination, the imposing statue represents the hidden forces that shape our world. This visual journey captures the essence of their relationship – a delicate interplay between the indomitable human spirit and the captivating enigma of the divine.

Ah, yes! Another practice session completed and I felt very satisfied with this one. I had been learning and testing out different ink cartridges to achieve various effects, and last night’s practice was very gratifying. I focused on creating thick outlines using a round shader and thin detail lines using a round liner. I’m open to critique and criticism. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Enjoy!

What an incredible journey! I've officially completed my first book cover, which is a special gift for my girlfriend @leannmariecotton. She's accomplished the remarkable feat of finishing her inaugural book in a series and entrusted me with the task of illustrating its cover. It was a true honor to receive this request, and I dedicated 1.5 months to bring it to fruition.
The artwork is a blend of three distinct styles, akin to mixed media. The background comes to life with watercolors, the characters are skillfully drawn, and I utilized Adobe Illustrator to add those final, intricate details.
The entire process was an enriching learning experience, marking the beginning of what I hope will be many more book covers in my future. Mark your calendars for September 21st, as that's when the book will be officially released. I read the book and let me tell you, you’re in for a treat π.
“Whispers of Balance”- Embracing Kaizen π¨
Hello art enthusiasts,
I’m excited to share that “Whispers of Balance” is complete, embodying the essence of Kaizen.
The kitsune mask, delicate and powerful, now features a shuriken on its forehead, representing strength and vulnerability in harmony. The rising smoke and “Kaizen” in Japanese remind us of continual growth.
The shuriken signifies unwavering determination, while the kitsune mask represents concealed emotions. Together, they echo life’s delicate balance.
As we admire “Whispers of Balance,” let’s embrace Kaizen’s wisdom - progress through small steps. Just like the shuriken and mask coexist, may our strengths and vulnerabilities find their balance.
Your support means the world. Stay tuned for more inspirations.

Recently, I’ve been spending an hour at the end of each day practicing tattooing in some capacity. Initially, I used ballpoint cartridges(@inluminoheartink) because I didn’t feel comfortable enough with handling a tattoo machine to execute proper ink application and setup. With practice, study through courses and reading, I’ve now made my first attempt on fake skin. While it’s not my best work, it’s certainly not my worst either. Stay tuned for more to come!

Witness the convergence of darkness in Rulers of Darkness: The Triumvirate of Anime. This artwork brings together three iconic characters from the world of anime: Sukuna from Jujutsu Kaisen, Pride from Fullmetal Alchemist, and Alucard from Hellsing Ultimate. Each character exudes a distinct aura of power, cunning, and enigma. With their compelling presence and captivating expressions, this artwork captures the essence of their dominance and serves as a testament to their formidable reign in the anime realm. Indulge your love for these iconic characters and showcase their combined might with this piece.
The idea came from the concept of having 3 Dark Kings gathered and rejoicing together. I took 3 OP (over-powered) Dark anime characters that either own or should be titled “King” within their manga/ anime. Starting from the bottom:
•Alucard (Dracula), King of Vampires
•Sukuna, King of Curses
•Pride, first Homunculus
Let me know what you think and tell me which dark characters I should do for this Halloween!

Check out my spin on the legendary Monkey King from the 16th-century classic “Journey to the West”. But here’s the twist: I’ve got him kickin’ back as a retired guardian, not just another fighter. The inspo? The “The God of High School” anime, where the main guy drops the bomb about being the God Sun Wukong. Mix in a historical touch with a modern hero vibe – that’s what I’m servin’ up.
When you peep at Monkey King, you catch that chill swagger from his battling days, but man, that heart of gold makes him a fierce guardian. And hey, if you’re wonderin’ ‘bout my backdrop, I’ll let you in on a secret: I scan origami paper, jazz it up in Procreate, and voilà, sweet background. Drop me a comment, let me know what you think! Oh, and don’t forget – you can snag this piece as a canvas or print till August 11th in our giveaway! ππ¨πΌοΈ
