Nyx, blackwork tattoo artist

Blackwork

Nyx

“Black ink is honest. It either holds or it doesn’t — mine holds.”

Nyx builds bold, heavy blackwork designed to age like carved stone. Ornamental patterns, dark botanicals and full back pieces are home turf. Bring a rough idea and Nyx will hand you back something that looks like it was always meant to be there.

Fine Line

Jax

“Small doesn’t mean simple. Every line has to earn its place.”

Jax works in single-needle detail — crisp script, delicate symbols and micro pieces that still read clearly years from now. If you want something subtle, precise and built to last, this is your artist.

Neo-Traditional

Raven

“Bold lines, rich color, and a little bit of drama.”

Raven takes the bones of old-school tattooing — heavy outlines, solid color — and pushes them into lush, modern territory. Roses, portraits and statement pieces with real color depth are Raven’s specialty.

  • Neo-traditional

Realism

Cross

“If it looks like a photo from across the room, we’re on the right track.”

Cross specializes in black and grey realism: animals, skulls, statues and portraits with smooth shading and serious depth. Big pieces and full sleeves are where Cross does the best work, often over multiple sessions.

  • Black & grey realism
  • Portraits
