"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 and ran successfully for three years, until he decided to simply his life and consolidate all the artists under one roof!

Ashh may be this city's biggest secret when it comes to the tattoo industry!  She has been inking fleshy canvases since 2012 and continues to hone her craft at Brother Raven's.

Sometimes called the "font master", the crispest lines, blackest blacks, 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.  

Ashh is sponsored by I.E.D. Apparel.

This easy-going Kentucky native has been tattooing since 2014.  He is proficient in all styles, though his vivid color work says that New School and Neo Traditional are his specialties.  And as his name may suggest, he LOVES doing Norse inspired designs!

Thor is an I.E.D. Apparel sponsored artist.

Erick's wife, Rikki, wears every hat in the studio other than "tattoo artist": scheduler, social media manager, graphic and website designer, marketing specialist, bookkeeper, and even janitor!  If you're speaking with an online representative - it's probably her!

Kemper has over 20 years of experience in the field of video, including television and film production all across the country.

He has a knack for tapping into his client's vision and nailing the mindset and feel of the video, making him a valuable asset to our team!
