About Sydney

Hi, I'm Sydney, a tattoo artist based in Charleston, South Carolina.

I specialize in fine line and blackwork, and I love the alternative side of tattooing: gothic florals, cybersigilism , dot work, lace and ornamental pieces, and anything a little darker and a little different.

Every piece is drawn for the person wearing it. We talk it through in messages, I sketch before your session, and we tweak it together on the day until it feels like you.
