About Nick
Nineteen years, four seasons of Ink Master, one standard
Nick McKnight is a nationally award-winning realism tattoo artist with 19 years of tattooing and 12 years of professional piercing experience as a shop owner. His high-detail black and grey work, accented with touches of vivid color, took him to Ink Master (seasons 2 and 3), Ink Master: Redemption (seasons 1 and 4), and a win on the Ink Master Cupid's Ink special.
Outside the studio he's a photographer, documentary filmmaker and a nutritionist specializing in longevity protocols. That carries straight into his tattooing: the same evidence-based standard for what goes into a body, and a simple rule: he will never use anything on a client that he wouldn't use on himself.
Safety and health first
A higher standard of clean
Tattoo ink isn't FDA-approved, so it's your artist's job to know exactly what's going into your body for life. We've done that research so you don't have to, and both chairs run on the same standard.
Third-party-tested ink
REACH-compliant pigments, lab-tested and certified free of the heavy metals, carcinogens, azo dyes and preservatives that third-party testing has found in some popular ink brands.
Independently tested, lead-free needles
Some cheaper needles have been found to contain lead. Ours are independently tested so they don't.
Surgical-level aseptic technique
Nick trained in surgical-grade sterilization protocols, including Glo Germ cross-contamination training, which uses a UV tracer to show exactly where invisible contamination spreads, and the whole studio runs on those protocols.
Never plastic wrap
Fresh work is never covered with Saran wrap. You always get a medical-grade breathable adhesive membrane that keeps bacteria out while the skin breathes.
Sterile water only
Tap water never touches the process. Pharmaceutical-grade sterile water for ink dilution and skin prep.
Aftercare, handled
You leave with a custom aftercare kit (pH-balanced wash and organic balms) and a detailed digital guide for every stage of healing.
Worth the drive
Based in Brunswick, booked from three states
The studio is in Brunswick, Georgia, minutes from the FLETC campus at Glynco and fifteen minutes from St. Simons Island. Most clients make a day of it: Jacksonville, Fernandina Beach, Savannah and Hinesville are all around an hour away on I-95, and Atlanta clients pair a session with a weekend on the coast.
