INK
STUDIO

Your skin, our canvas

Our Story

Born From
Ink & Fire

INK STUDIO was forged in 2016 in the underground art scene of Brooklyn, born out of a rebellion against generic tattoo parlors. We believe the skin is not just a surface — it is a living anthology of who you are, who you were, and who you dare to become.

Our artists bring together decades of combined experience across realism, blackwork, traditional Americana, geometric abstraction, and the ethereal strokes of fine-line art. Every piece that leaves this studio is a conversation between the artist's vision and the client's soul.

We operate by appointment only, dedicating our full attention to your piece from the first consultation to the final session. No rush. No compromises. Only art that is built to last a lifetime — on your skin, as your story.

What We Do

Our Specialties

Six distinct disciplines. One uncompromising standard of excellence.

Realism

Photographic precision etched into skin. Portraits, nature, and every fine detail brought to life with depth and shadow.

Blackwork

Bold, high-contrast compositions in pure black ink. Tribal, illustrative, and graphic designs that command attention.

Traditional

Classic Americana flash — thick outlines, bold fills, timeless imagery. Eagles, daggers, and roses done with reverence.

Geometric

Sacred geometry, mandala patterns, and mathematical precision. Order and complexity intertwined on your skin.

Watercolor

Painterly washes of color with organic bleeding edges. Dreamy, expressive scenes that look like canvases come to life.

Fine Line

Delicate single-needle work. Minimalist, intricate, and refined — for clients who appreciate subtlety as power.

Our Work

The Flash Wall

Pinned stories. Each piece once drawn on paper, now permanent on skin.

The Crew

Meet the Artists

Portrait of Marco Solis, Realism & Blackwork artist

Marco Solis

Realism & Blackwork

Born in Mexico City, Marco spent 8 years tattooing in Tokyo before landing in Brooklyn. His hyper-realistic portraits and dark blackwork compositions have earned him features in Tattoo Life and Inked Magazine.

Portrait of Yuki Tanaka, Fine Line & Geometric artist

Yuki Tanaka

Fine Line & Geometric

Yuki trained as a graphic designer before finding her true medium in skin. Her single-needle fine-line work and sacred geometry pieces attract clients from across the globe, often booked 6 months in advance.

Portrait of Cleo Varga, Watercolor & Traditional artist

Cleo Varga

Watercolor & Traditional

Romanian-born Cleo merges old-school Americana boldness with experimental watercolor washes. The result is a striking visual language completely her own — vivid, loose, and unapologetically alive.
