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.

Friday Walk-Ins

Feeling spontaneous?

Fridays are our walk-in days for smaller tattoos, including lettering, symbols, fine line designs, and simple palm sized pieces. Walk ins are reserved for smaller, straightforward tattoos only. Larger custom work and more detailed pieces need a scheduled appointment.

Before you make the trip, give us a call, send a text, or message us. Availability can change throughout the day, and calling ahead helps save you time and avoids unnecessary waiting.

Please check our business hours before stopping by. Any early closures or schedule changes will be posted on our social media pages, and our Google listing is always kept up to date.

Small tattoos. Good vibes. No unnecessary waiting.
