Nashville tattoo artist

Colin Orion

A Florida native, Colin has been an artist as long as he's had motor skills. Years of drawing and painting led him to tattoo, where he turned professional in 2009 and has been honing the craft ever since.

His favorite work lives in black and gray — illustrative pieces that look pulled from a sketchbook, often with a touch of realism, a little creepiness, and the occasional splash of gore. He's built a reputation for versatility, comfortable moving between styles depending on what the piece calls for.

When Colin's not tattooing, he's making music, writing, or spending time with his wife and daughter — who's following in his footsteps and learning the craft herself.
