Realism black and grey
I’m Carlos Guzmán, founder of Inkstinct NYC, with over 15 years of experience specializing in large-scale custom tattoos and black and gray realism. My work is all about bold detail, smooth flow, and lasting impact — every piece is designed with intention and executed with precision. Although my books are usually tight, I’m always open to working with new clients who value high-quality, custom tattooing. From full backs and sleeves to multi-session pieces, I focus on creating tattoos that stand the test of time. I travel often to major tattoo conventions and have earned multiple awards along the way. I also mentor artists and push my team to keep raising the bar. Inkstinct NYC isn’t just a studio — it’s a space built for serious tattoo collectors and artists who respect the craft. Booking is open — get in touch and let’s plan your next piece.
