The Artist

Psmooth has spent over a decade turning quiet ideas into permanent work — building a studio where precision, patience, and trust matter more than volume.

The story

A steady hand, a
long point of view.

Psmooth started tattooing in a back-room studio downtown, drawn to the parts of the craft most people rush past — the weight of a single line, the patience of a clean gradient, the responsibility of putting something on someone forever.

Years and thousands of pieces later, that obsession hasn’t moved. The studio stays deliberately small: one chair, one client at a time, every design drawn from scratch. No flash walls, no assembly line — just work made to outlive trends.

The result is a quiet, exacting style: fine line and black & grey that read as clean today and graceful in thirty years. That long horizon is the whole point.

Philosophy

We don’t do
volume. We do
forever.

Every appointment is private and unhurried. You won’t share the room, the attention, or the pace. We’d rather turn away ten ideas than rush one onto skin it doesn’t suit.

Hygiene & Safety

Clean is non-negotiable.

  1. 01

    Sterile, single-use

    Needles and tubes are single-use and opened in front of you, every time.

  2. 02

    Hospital-grade sterilisation

    Reusable tools run through a medical autoclave with routine spore testing.

  3. 03

    Certified & compliant

    Bloodborne Pathogens certified and fully compliant with NYC Dept. of Health code.

  4. 04

    Clean inks

    Hypoallergenic, vegan-friendly pigments — no shortcuts on what goes into your skin.

  5. 05

    Barrier protocol

    Fresh barriers, gloves, and a fully wiped-down station for every single client.
