Black Fire Tattoo

About Us

Welcome to Black Fire Tattoo – where custom ink meets sharp detail and zero bullshit. Founded by tattoo artist Carina Marker, this studio in Grand Island, NY was built for people who want more than just a trend on their skin. We create bold, lasting tattoos that tell your story – or simply look damn good.

We’re all-rounders with a love for solid design, clean lines, and smooth shading. Whether it’s deeply personal or just about the art, we’re here to bring your vision to life.

Every tattoo gets the same focus, precision, and respect, whether it’s a larger custom piece or a smaller design. No flash walls, no cookie-cutter designs, just real craft and honest ink.

At Black Fire Tattoo, let’s create something that looks as good in ten years as it does on day one.
And if it makes your mom uncomfortable? Even better.

Walk-Ins Temporarily Unavailable

Due to personnel changes, we are temporarily unable to offer spontaneous walk-ins. We’re working on a solution and hope to bring them back as soon as possible.

If you’re looking for a tattoo, please give us a call or send us a text first. We can often fit in smaller tattoos on short notice and will always do our best to find an appointment that works for you.

Thank you for your understanding and support!
