Artist Spotlight: Zenith

"I tattoo because I want to help people make their bodies feel like home."

Zenith has always been interested in art, and was drawn to tattooing when he started looking for ways to connect his art with others, and to help people connect with theirs. Two years in, since 2024, his style is illustrative linework with ornamental sigilism. His favorite things to tattoo are swords and eyes, with varied line weights and some shading to make them pop.

Why Old Crow? "It's cozy and chill, and our theme is crows. I love crows."

What he wishes more people understood is that tattooing is more than needle to skin.

"Working on the design and placement together takes more time than one would think."

If you're nervous to book: "It's normal to be nervous, since it can be a very intimate and involved process. But it's more than okay to take extra time to make sure things are right and to ask all the questions you need to feel comfortable."

Fantasy books inspire a lot of his work. Stromae radio in the studio. If he weren't tattooing, he'd still be a barista, but ideally a comic artist. His best meal after a long day: banh mi and an iced tea.
