I’ve wanted to be a tattoo artist since I was 9 years old. While other kids were dreaming about what they’d be when they grew up, I was watching Miami Ink with my family and thinking.... that’s it, that’s the life I want! I started at MICA in Baltimore, but school never felt right for me. Once I got my foot in the door at a tattoo shop, I dropped everything to focus fully on tattooing. The first years weren’t easy — I bounced between Baltimore and Lancaster, had to move back in with my parents to save money, and was always just flying by the seat of my pants. But no matter how rough it got, there was always a voice in my head saying, keep going. Fast forward 8 years, and here I am in Pittsburgh. A new city, a new chapter, and the strongest work of my career. This feels like just the beginning.

Couldn’t be happier with this amazing piece Frankie brought to life for me! The whole process was great, and was always in a very clean environment! Line work is amazing, colors and shading is out of this world and it healed PERFECTLY! I will 100% be back for more work! Thanks again bro! Couldn’t be happier! 🔥

Frankie is my personal favorite tattoo artist ever since he moved up to Pittsburgh! He excels in color and has killed everything I’ve asked him to do for me. I’m beyond excited and look forward to the next project we have in store for my arm sleeves! I also look forward to many more sessions with him in the future.

Tattooing with Frankie was a blast. He made everything super easy, from discussing my ideas, taking payments, mocking it up and actually doing the work. It was all a great experience. I am always nervous trying out a new tattoo artist but he was super chill and easy to talk to throughout the whole tattoo making sure I was comfortable and letting me take breaks when needed. Super happy with how the tattoos themselves turned out and will definitely be coming back!

Getting tattooed by you was an awesome experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was super chill, and you made me feel comfortable the whole way through. The process was smooth, and I appreciated how much attention to detail you gave to my ideas. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Frankie has been amazing to work with! His crisp linework and color is a true skill he has honed. He has done several pieces for me and each time it has been a wonderful experience. And he is easy to talk to, which makes the long sessions go by fast.

You have always provided a clean environment, entertaining and genuinely nice space when it comes to my tattoo experience. I got all my tattoos from you and made each experience better than the last. You have done a wonderful job fostering an environment that is welcoming from people of all backgrounds. Your creativity when it comes to designs has brought my ideas to life as well as your ideas, and I am always impressed with the final result.

How the Sponsorship Works
I partner with Animetattoos.com to sponsor a few anime tattoos every month — up to $400 toward the project. The sponsorship isn’t for every tattoo, it’s meant for larger, portfolio-worthy pieces that both of us are excited about and that will be featured on my Animetattoos.com profile once complete.

What Makes a Sponsored Tattoo Idea Stand Out
What Makes a Sponsored Tattoo Idea Stand Out
What Makes a Sponsored Tattoo Idea Stand Out
Not every idea gets sponsored and that’s on purpose! We’re not looking for “another cool tattoo”. We’re looking for ideas that mean something to you.
It's Personal
The best ideas come from moments that stuck with you, the characters that got you through that low point, the scene you can bring yourself back to by closing your eyes.
1 of 1
Let’s be honest.. You probably don’t want the same tattoo as a thousand other people. Sponsored ideas are the ones that only belong to you.
Storytelling
The best tattoos aren’t just well done, they’re the moments that mean the most to you made permanent. A specific scene, turning point, or feeling you want to carry with you. If you can explain it, we can bring it to life!
Creativity
We’re looking for ideas that aren’t just copies of what’s already out there. A unique pose, a creative twist, a mashup of two characters who never met. Let’s tell a familiar story in a new way!
