robin Graves

Robin Graves’ (she/they) darkly romantic work takes inspiration from occult horror, fantastic fiction, and the grotesque. After establishing a cult following as an illustrator and handpoke artist, Robin made her first forays into machine tattooing in 2020. She soon developed her own distinct and polished style, and today she is a full time resident artist at Black Cat Tattoo.

Lately, Robin has been experimenting with etched and block print illustration styles, discovering unique ways to incorporate them into her tattoo flash and custom designs—especially her darker-themed decorative and floral work. She looks forward to exploring further, teasing new strangeness and splendour from the shadows.
