Marion, South Carolina · Est. 2022
American traditional, black & grey, and custom tattoos by a crew that treats every piece like it's going on their own arm.
The Shop
Marion Ink is a family-run studio right off Highway 76. Owner and lead artist Eric Bryant and his wife Danielle run the place alongside a crew of full-time artists and one hungry apprentice.
Whether you want a piece of walk-in flash straight off the wall, a full-color traditional sleeve, or a custom design you've been sitting on for years — we'll take the time to get it right. Sterile setup, licensed artists, and a chair that's way more comfortable than it looks.
The Crew
Every artist here has a distinct hand. Pick who fits your style, or shoot us a note and we'll match you up.
Realism · Neo-Traditional · Large Scale
The man behind the machine. Eric opened Marion Ink to build the shop he always wanted to work in — no shortcuts. Chest plates, large-scale realism, and detailed black & grey are his wheelhouse. Convention-tested, custom every time.

Shop Owner
Danielle owns and runs the shop alongside Eric — setting the direction, handling the business side, and keeping the whole operation moving so the artists can focus on the work.

Realism · Illustrative Color · Ornamental
Wesley's range runs wide — detailed black & grey realism, bold illustrative color, and clean ornamental line work. Great with big statement pieces and walk-in flash alike.
