Ornamental & Sacred Geometry

Ornamental bands, mandalas and sacred geometry have to be mapped to the body precisely, or the symmetry falls apart.

Five straightforward stages, from first message to a finished piece you will wear for life.

Why Choose Us

A private studio, not a walk-in shop

The Art Scribe's private Brooklyn tattoo studio with modern furnishings, original artwork and an ocean view

Your session, your space

The studio is booked for one client at a time in a luxury Ocean Drive space with an ocean view. No queue, no crowd, no rushing the work to get to the next customer. It is a calmer way to sit for several hours, and it shows in the finished tattoo.

  • Appointment-only, one client at a time
  • Luxury Brooklyn studio with an ocean view
  • Unhurried sessions with proper breaks

Custom artwork, every time

Nothing here is pulled off a flash wall. Every piece is drawn for the person wearing it, mapped to their anatomy and reviewed together before the stencil goes on. Across 20+ years and every major style, that approach has not changed.

  • Designs drawn after a free consultation
  • Fine-line, lettering, cover-ups, ornamental and colour
  • Complimentary touch-up assessment once healed

Google Business Profile
“Had a great experience with Joey at Art Scribe Tattoo. His private studio is perfect if you want a quiet tattoo session, and the ocean view is a nice bonus. The space is packed with his artwork, which shows how creative he is. He made my vintage bee idea sing and paid incredible attention to the fine-line details.”

I loved my experience here. Wonderful tattooing, cool space, very attentive to detail. I got three fine line tattoos and they all came out perfectly.
Kee
Amazing first tattoo experience, very calm environment. Did my tattoo exactly how I envisioned it. Perfect place to get a first tattoo. Didn't even have inspiration photos — I just showed him the pieces and he made it work!
Robert Holder
I have been getting my tattoos done with him for a couple years now. He is always very cautious and precise. This is his latest creation and it came out breathtaking.
Princess D
Amazing tattoo artist! He's already done five tattoos on me and it's completing the sixth. I love every one he has already started. I will never go to anyone else. You want it done right and perfect — he's the guy!
