Tattoo Services | Blackwork, Blackout & Blastovers
Choose your lane
Different blackwork has different rules. This page helps you pick the right lane before you fill out the form.
Nlaka’pamux Blackwork Truly Tribal Tattoos
Nlaka’pamux Blackwork is a contemporary blackwork practice that carries Nlaka’pamux visual language into large-scale tattoos—sleeves, backs, torsos, legs, and bodysuit structures.
This lane is guided by consent, privacy, and boundaries. Some elements are shareable outside community, and some are not. The consultation clarifies what’s appropriate, what’s possible, and what you’re actually asking the tattoo to do in your life.
If you’re ready for heavy black and a serious build, start the form and tell me what you’re drawn to, where you want it, and the scale you can commit to.
Blackout Tattoos
Blackout is full saturation black. It can be used as a clean statement, a reset, or as part of a coverage strategy. It can also be the foundation for future work.
Blackout requires real pacing—your skin and nervous system matter. In the consultation we’ll confirm the area, your experience level, and how many sessions make sense.
Non-symbolic Blackwork Tattoos
This lane is for people who want power and clarity without symbols or story claims. The focus is shape, rhythm, negative space, and how the body holds black over time.
Good for: sleeves, legs, partial bodysuit builds, and pieces that need to work around existing tattoos.
If you’re not sure what you want yet, that’s fine—describe what you like in the portfolio and what you want the tattoo to feel like, not just what it should “mean.”
Blast-Overs and Cover-Up Tattoos
A blastover is not a magic erase. It’s a new layer—built to work with what’s already there. Sometimes the old tattoo stays visible. That’s part of the honesty of the method: history stays in the skin.
Bring clear photos of the existing tattoo and tell me what you want the new layer to do—cover, interrupt, unify, or transform the area.
