Final video of this Greek mythology female Sleeve! Really excited how this one turned out so a big shout out to @_mybellelife for giving me this really awesome idea for the Sleeve design. I look forward to our other creative endeavors! #greek #greekmythology #tattoosleeve #sleevedesign #pghtattooer #pghtattooshop #ancientgreece @blackarmortattoo
I love when clients come in with a great idea and rely on me to take the wheel ,creatively and produce a nice cohesive piece that creates “flow”!
I spend anywhere between 10-20 hours of design prep before most of these larger projects get a needle in them. My selection process starts first with a great idea, $200 design fee with roughly an hour consultation of one on one brainstorming with the client, note taking and reference consideration followed by a detailed tracing of the area we’re working on. I’ve turned the corner and have become more aware of fitting subject matter that fits with specific body parts.
These projects take time, money and a lot of patience as these are multiple, multiple sessions stretched over a year or so (depending on how often you come back) I love doing these so much and I am looking to book some more! Get on the website and fill out a request form with detailed information on what you’re looking for.
Thank you to @em__pugstak for being one of these clients. I really appreciate your dedication to this piece and the trust you put in me to create this for you! @blackarmortattoo

Another progress video and pictures of this #nightmarebeforechristmas tattoo sleeve we started so long ago. I really appreciate the ongoing trust that each one of my clients give me to create and produce these fun movie themed pieces that I just love doing so much. #jackthepumpkinking #timburton @blackarmortattoo
I love doing black and gray tattoos with a splash of red! There’s just something about it! #pheonix #risefromtheashes @blackarmortattoo thank you @grace_isabelle22
Final pictures/videos of the #whaletattoo #underwatertattoo #nauticaltattoo sleeve! Thank you to Zack for the monthly dedication to complete this in a timely fashion. I really wanted to focus on the diagonal pull of the water to create that “flow” I chirp so much about. @blackarmortattoo
This piece started out with just the skull and landscape above it and then we added on the rest of the landscape and skeleton to complement the entire piece. I think this all came together very well considering we only started out with that first piece originally. I’m got to give a huge shout out to Brian @bsynan for allowing me the creative freedom to design this custom piece for him And I’m looking forward to completing it on the other arm as well as a chest piece and backpiece to follow! More things to come. thank you! #skulltattoo #landscapetattoo #skeletontattoo @blackarmortattoo
Final pictures of this #kthulu tattoo sleeve. Thank you to @boostedvenom for always trusting me to create. Having designed the top part before we even knew what to do for the bottom part I’d say came out pretty well! Im really happy with both portions of this piece! @blackarmortattoo
Greek Goddess Themed sleeve. Still have more to go on this but I love how this looks so far
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

Another big shout out to Kyle McCardle for also being a career long client/ friend for always giving me the trust and opportunity to exercise my artist capabilities with these bigger designs. I’ve been really concentrating on “flow” & “continuity” with these larger pieces. #thewitcher #blackandgreytattoos #fullsleeve #pghtattooer #pghtattooshop @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.

Sacred heart was a full custom piece and panther/tiger split was inspired by Andrea scotti flash. Thank you a million times over to Brice. (Side pieces and barbed wire not done by me)
• The key to have a client sit through a full sternum and stomach banger is simple, the client has to be a literal psychopath to want to endure this fuck fest. I mean, I couldn’t love and appreciate Brice more than I do for him grilling these all day with me.
•thank you to every single person I tattooed in 2025, I love you all, I’ll see you in 2026.

Full time passion tattooer for the people. Truly enjoy working in any style, with a focus on traditional, neo-traditional, new school, and bold b&g realism. I love tattoos that will stand the test of time and stand out. Every piece is made with love and made to last. Looking forward to seeing new and familiar faces ❦︎
God I love horror tattoos. This was Kaydance’s first big tattoo done all in one sit, sat like a rock the whole time. 😳 (Inspired by @angeloparente beautiful tattoos) ❤️

(All available, b&g only)

3 years of tattooing. This is still my lifeblood. I love every single day I wake up and can give what I can back to the industry. Thank you to all my clients, incredible artists met, and thank you to Black Armor. (Berk is getting tattooed here, he was the first person I ever tattooed that wasn’t myself, how sweet is that) (huge s/o to @russtatt18 and @emilygr8c for being two of my biggest backbones🖤🤍)

Kayley’s finished arm 🖤 some healed/some fresh. This was a bit of a hodgepodge of styles and assortment/assembly. Over time the most consistent goal was super solid blacks and good contrast. I’m such a fan of heavy bold work, tattoos were always meant to stand out and stand the test of time. I love the way this unfolded. Thank u Kayley.
Quicker/smaller sheet I painted this week. All available. Still working on a ton of smaller independent tradtional esque designs for villain arts that I have in my book at the shop. I paint religiously and don’t post everything so if you’re ever curious. Ask to see some more 🐸

Work in progress b&g work for Brenny. Love how his arm is coming along and wanted to throw this on here. Such a bitch that fresh grey tones prevent good pictures but this will be such a beaut when those light grey tones settle in. Such a dope piece regardless. As always, any style, any day.

Swipe to see a gnarly collection of b&g trad I’ve done on Morgan’s leg over the last few months 🔲 (minus knee mandala I posted already). This has been such a fun patchwork project. It also helps that she’s super open to ideas and has literally let me draw some of these on/no stencil. Cant wait to see this all finished, bold will hold.
Freshly painted/Carnival freak show for my August flash sheet 🎟️🎡 can be done in black & gray as well. I may have to do a part 2 for this. I had so many ideas unused and I’m obsessed with carnivals/carnies. Dm me for any pieces you’d like. All flash I do is repeatable.

You would almost never catch me posting a rework but at this point I’ve done enough work on Gigis old piece to make it mine. Including (reworking lines, all shades/values. Adding the color. Adding the complete bottom piece) No tat is ever lost. Such a proud piece for Gigi to wear now. She’s also such a tank for sitting through it all.
Traditional cat portrait of Mimi, turned B&G. Had such a good time with this one. Bring more trad animal portraits, especially cats.

Here’s some lil flash I painted today, would love to do. Always cut a deal price wise for flash.
•Just some updates as I haven’t been super active on IG lately.
• I wanna transition to posting more of my painted flash up for grabs. I have a few sheets I’m trying to finish asap. Finding time to paint while tattooing 6/7 days a week is wild.
• Scheduling wise, I won’t be actively scheduling 24/7 anymore. I’m still taking on all styles and I still want to tattoo everyone in the universe but I also have been a little more picky about what those projects are.
• I have quite a few sleeves/backs going on rn. I’d like to get those closer to a finished place and take in some larger projects in their absence (small/medium trad/lettering bangers ALWAYS welcomed tho.) If you’re looking to start something larger/especially trad/neo/realism, I’d love to take ya.
•I care more about your vibe in the shop than how sick your ideas are, don’t be a dick, don’t make my life a living hell lol.
• trying to keep up with DMs 100% of the time is impossible. I’ll still make posts for openings, but for now, I will only be scheduling during certain periods of time. Response times aren’t always going to be quick.
• designs are shown on the day of the appointment, never before. I allow for enough time to modify and change on the day of. •Thank you to everyone for your patience and support. 🤍
I don’t make it a habit of posting unfinished work but we started putting in some of Noah’s traditional Japanese black work today, around existing work. The saturation brought a tear to my eye 🥲 to Noah’s too. Bold will in fact….hold.

Japanese cat piece tatt’d up with a relaxed pose and some subtle movement running through it. Kept the linework clean and let the shading do most of the work, with a few red accents to break it up. Fun one to build out and watch it come together in motion.
Appreciate Nicole for the idea and the trust on this one. If you’re looking to get something similar, I’m booking.

Grew this one right out of the bone.
Skull breaking down while the oysters take over. Fun mix of structure and flow on this piece, especially letting the mushrooms stack and move naturally with the arm.
Appreciate the trust on this one. Always down to do more like this!

Wow, what a wonderful weekend! Thank you to everyone who came out to the @pittsburghtattooexpo and got tattoo’d by me. This was the first year I left time open for walk ups and I loved everyone who showed love and support for my art, and those willing to get tattoo’d. It was a wonderful experience for sure and a great turnout. One more convention in May, I’ll see y’all there!

Really want to do more anime and Japanese inspired pieces like this Itachi concept.
This design blends the Uchiha aesthetic with traditional Japanese elements, especially the flowing flames to frame the composition and create movement. The red sun and crows push that balance between symbolism and structure, while the black and grey keeps it readable for long term wear.
I’m looking to take on more projects that combine anime characters with traditional Japanese motifs such as flames, wind bars, waves, or background elements that elevate the piece beyond just a portrait and turn it into a full composition.
If you’re into Naruto, anime, or Japanese inspired work and want something custom in this lane, let’s build it right. DM me with your idea and placement and we’ll make it happen.

Set your heart ablaze.
Had a blast bringing this Rengoku piece to life. Kept the blade clean and stippled in black and grey, then let the red flames move around it to give it that energy and flow. Everything shaped to sit naturally on the forearm.
Always down for strong anime concepts like this. Thank you for the trust!

Kicking off a full leg sleeve built from comic style panels of classic movies and shows. We started with Jaws, Back to the Future, and Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean. I can’t wait to see this whole piece come together over time, each session adding another story to the mix.

Eowyn of Rohan — standing her ground against the Witch-King.
Inspired by the stained glass art style and one of the most iconic moments in Middle-earth. Eowyn’s slaying of the Witch-King, with him saying “no man can kill me” and her response being…. “I am no man.”
As much as I love the Witch-King and despise Eowyn, I really enjoyed creating this one in her victory.
Huge thanks to my client for trusting me with this piece and sitting like a champ through the whole session. Always appreciate the people who let me bring these kinds of ideas to life.

Happy Hobbit Day! September 22 is Bilbo and Frodo’s birthday, so I put together this little flash sheet to mark the occasion. These are available any time if one of them speaks to you:
• The One Ring – the inscription that ties the whole story together.
• Elven Leaf Brooch – the Fellowship’s symbol of sticking together through it all. Symbolizing the Leaves of Lorien
• Flame of the West – Aragorn’s reforged blade, carrying hope and strength.
• Second Breakfast – hobbits love their meals, and this one’s all about that extra plate of bacon and eggs.
• Gandalf’s Pipe – with smoke turning into a ship, just like the old wizard did in the movie.
These pieces are simple, fun, and ready to go whenever you are.

Had the pleasure of working on some cool tattoos for Charlie. First session we knocked out a Vagabond-inspired samurai piece in a manga style. The second time around he came back for a No-Face from Spirited Away, sitting down with some cake. Two very different tattoos but both fun to do and both carrying their own feel. Thanks again for the trust dude

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.

👻 3D Halloween flash is here to start off the spooky season! Ready to bring these spooky designs to life. Hit me up to book your spot before they’re gone… more to come. #HalloweenFlash #TattooFlash #DeathBeforeDecaf ☕💀
Starting off the dragon foot piece strong with these clean lines. Can’t wait to get this one fully shaded and see it come to life! Foot tattoos can be a challenge, but the results are always worth it when the design fits just right. Until next time! ✌️

Brought this little prehistoric dude back to life 🦖— nothing like putting 500 million years of history on skin! Watch the process as this trilobite takes shape. Thanks @patback_fotf for the idea and trust!

Never got the chance to post this gem—my first half-leg sleeve of Metabee from “Medabots”. What started as just a flash of the head turned into a full-body version, and I’m all for it. Still plan on adding color later, but for now, this guy’s ready for Robattle. First anime half-sleeve in the books. Thank you @rage_on_bud for the opportunity. Stick around for more to come 😊✌️

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 ✌️

💀 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.

Here’s a fun little cactus that was my first smooth gradient attempt. It was a pretty fun process of blending and working the color to flow smoothly. I have interest in Neo-Traditional i so keep an eye out! I’m looking forward to working with more color in the future. Huge thanks to the lovely @leannmariecotton for capturing footage of me. Your support keeps me inspired every day! DM me for appointments and I’ll see ya on the flip side.

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 😅. 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? 🤔 Stay tuned for the next steps! Thanks for all the love and support, peace!

Just finished another fun flash sheet! Here’s the Tune Squad in all their glory, ready for action. I thought about calling them the Goon Squad, but it turns out those are the villains in the new Space Jam 🙄.
This is a little homage to my youth and for anyone else who remembers the classic Looney Tunes. If you have any ideas you’d like to see, let me know. Enjoy, and see you on the flip side!

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.
Keep it real and…. May the force be with you 🌌

Good Morning and Happy Friday! Here’s some recent practice skins I’ve been working on. None of these are of my design, just simply practicing pushing/pulling linework and some minor shading.
Let me know what ideas you have that I should try practicing. PEACE!
Also shoutout and congrats to @t_thehuman for his latest produced banger of a song

Here’s some sick shots from the other day of me practicing on some fake skin at @blackarmortattoo. Great experience and nothing but good vibes, and intense focus. I’m looking forward to throwing down on some more fake skin soon enough! Thanks for all the great feedback and compliments; they mean the world to me. The Monkey King is the first of many designs I wanna practice. Throw out some ideas so I can get some more practice on fake skin in. As always, PEACE!
Thanks again for everything @russtatt18

What a cool day yesterday! Finally got to throw down on some fake skin while in the shop yesterday. With the great guidance of @russtatt18 I was able to throw down some pretty solid lines. Despite my back aching and holding in my pee, I remained focused and came with my A-game. I’m super stoked on how it came out. Monkey King ☑️ onto the next! Let me know if you got some cool ideas you wanna see, peace!!!

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 😎. 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!
Lines: Sakura Micron Pens
Colors: PRISMACOLOR pencils
