"Inkslinger Erick"

Erick has been tattooing since 2006.  He is an award-winning artist, yet a lifelong student; always searching for new techniques to add to his toolbox.  While he has a penchant for black-and-grey work, Erick also enjoys producing color tattoos, and loves the challenge of a cover-up!

Cleanliness and sterilization are of the utmost importance to him, as well as adhering to the guidelines set forth by the health department.

Sponsors include I.E.D. Apparel, Peak Needles, and Recovery Aftercare.

Unique, custom work is Erick's preference. Flash pieces are reserved for certain occasions, such as Friday the 13th.  You will never see your exact tattoo on another of his clients!

Erick is an artist that keeps his clients wants and needs in mind. Whether getting a first tattoo, covering an old mistake, or fading the reminder of a scar, he will do everything possible to insure the client is happy with the finished product.

In 2018, Erick achieved his dream of owning a tattoo studio when he opened shop in Middletown.  His second location opened in Louisville's Highview neighborhood in 2020.

Ashh may be this city's biggest secret when it comes to the tattoo industry!  She has been inking fleshy canvases for 8 years and continues to hone her craft at our South location in the Highview neighborhood.

The crispest lines and vibrant, packed color are her specialties, with a proclivity for new-school, though she can create any type of design to fit the client's desires.

B. signed on as Erick's apprentice in July 2020 and has been rip-roaring right through his curriculum!  After only 9 weeks of tattooing she was creating pieces that even rivaled some seasoned artists.  

We expect B.'s books to stay full as she finishes out her training and strives for greatness!

Erick's wife, Rikki, wears every hat in the shop other than "tattoo artist": scheduler, social media manager, graphic and website designer, marketing specialist, bookkeeper, and even janitor!
