What clients say
Black Atlas is where I got my first tattoo. I have gotten 9 tattoos there since and I will continue to go back for more. Molly did my first tattoo and is the artist I return to, shes awesome. But definitely love the work of all the artists here.

Kelsey was the best artist for my first tattoo experience. My arm band tattoo came out exactly how I envisioned it, and she provided a comfortable hospitality to our session.
I researched women tattoo artists in the city with clean line work and artists excellent at tattooing on darker skin, and she was by far my favorite. I pitched the idea of a music note arm band and she took on the project with positivity. We chatted and tatt’d, it was a great time!
Highly recommend you book your next session with Kelsey.
