Welcome friend, I’m happy you’ve stumbled on my page.

I’m a 33-year-old Akron native. I share my beautiful life with my Wife (Stephanie) and my two children(Maddox and Teagan) . When I’m not tattooing you can definitely find me with them and our three dogs (Zoey, Olive and Zara).

I started my tattoo journey 10 years ago, young and naïve to the industry. But I quickly saw things I did not agree with and that did not align with myself personally. In 2014. I completed my apprenticeship and in 2016 I opened my first shop. It has always been my goal to not feel like a scary street shop, I’ve always wanted my clients to feel like they were just hanging out with friends once they walked through my door. Getting tattooed is a scary process and it really doesn't have to be.  Without our clients we would have absolutely nothing. It is imperative to me that my clients have a good experience, feel completely comfortable and leave happy with the work that’s on their body. I don’t take it lightly that someone is trusting me with their skin for the rest of their life. It’s an honor to wake up and tattoo every day, to be a part of your story and your journey in this life. I look forward to seeing clients new and old and creating art that you can cherish for a lifetime.

 

You are worthy of a safe and comfortable tattoo experience; at Black Amethyst we strive every day to provide you with that.
