## About

I am Frank West, a tattoo artist focused on bold, high-quality black tattoos. My approach combines confident linework, careful composition, and a close eye for detail, creating pieces that feel intentional from the first sketch through the finished tattoo. I take time to understand the idea behind each design and refine it into work that suits the body and holds its character.
Blackwork is where my strengths come together most clearly. I use contrast, negative space, solid blacks, and precise detail to give each tattoo a strong visual presence without losing clarity. Clients can expect a considered design process, focused application, and a finished piece made to look powerful and remain readable over time.

A More Personal Way to Wear Bold Ink
I develop each custom blackwork tattoo from the concept outward, considering scale, flow, contrast, and how the design will sit on your body. Strong silhouettes and intentional negative space help the piece read clearly, while carefully chosen detail gives it depth and character.
The process is collaborative without becoming complicated. I listen to what you want the tattoo to express, guide the visual direction, and prepare a design that feels distinctive and balanced. During the appointment, I work with steady attention to placement and finish so the final tattoo feels considered from every angle.
