EverBlack Tattoo Studio is a Brooklyn tattoo studio founded in 2019 by tattoo artist Nikki Simpson and laser technician Tim Goergen. Nikki is known from Season 8 of Ink Master and from co-hosting Ink Master Angels. The studio's stated aim is world-class artistry, versatility and customer service.
The interior is styled as a gothic, old-world salon: dark green walls, gilded frames, chandeliers and Victorian-style sofas. The studio says it is spacious and puts cleanliness and comfort first, for quick pieces and all-day sessions alike.
The resident tattooists are Nikki Simpson (romantic illustrative realism in soft black-and-grey and saturated colour), Aaron Moonan (dark surrealism) and Christian Rodriguez (black-and-grey realism, geek and illustrative work). The studio also hosts a rotating roster of guest artists.
EverBlack also offers laser tattoo removal through Gotham Tattoo Removal, led by co-owner Tim Goergen. It is used for fading old work before a cover-up as well as for full removal. Appointments are requested through the detailed form on the studio's website, which asks for the idea, placement, size, budget and reference photos.

- Is a touch-up included?

- Do I need ID? What is the minimum age?
- Expect to show a photo ID proving you are 18 or older. In the US some states allow 16–17-year-olds with a parent’s consent, others don’t allow it at all, and many studios only tattoo adults either way. Age and ID →

- Ask whether they take cards or cash only. Where tipping is customary (as in the US), 15–20% is typical; elsewhere it’s optional. Tipping and etiquette →
