Nashville tattoo artist

Brandon Arias

Born and raised in Porterville, California, Brandon’s journey into tattooing started over 13 years ago—with nothing more than a pencil and a passion for portraits. What began as sketching faces turned into a lifelong pursuit of turning emotion and storytelling into skin and ink.

Today, Brandon’s known for his powerful black and grey religious realism, blending soulful imagery with technical precision. Angels, demons, light, and shadow—his work is all about contrast, depth, and meaning.

When he’s not at the shop, you’ll probably find him catching air on his BMX bike, laying down paint on a fresh oil canvas, or working under the hood of his ’79 Firebird.

Fun fact: Tattoos make you 95% cooler—Brandon swears it’s science.
