A little bit about me, things I love creating, and my inspirations

Hey, if you don’t already know me my name is Coyle. I live and work as a tattoo artist in New Orleans, LA . I moved here in 2012 from Portland, Or in hopes to make a career in art and that’s exactly what I did. I sold art in the French quarter and at art markets for almost 4yrs until I just got burned out. I made a decision to once again after a failed attempt in my 20’s to peruse tattooing.

I draw inspiration from diverse sources including HR Giger's horror art and Salvador Dali's surrealism, alongside influences like Marcel Duchamp and Jasper Johns from my college years. Today, my tattoo art blends darkness with abstract surrealism, a style I'm passionate about exploring further into my tattooing.

I've also been focusing on high-demand styles such as solid black tattoos and ornamental designs. Whether it's creating unique and unusual pieces, intricate ornamental tattoos or blacking out your entire arm I'm eager to collaborate and bring some of my ideas to life and hopeful decorate and beautify your body.
