The Crucible Art Collective

"Brian did an amazing job bringing to life a complex design. He worked with me weeks in advance to get it right and crushed it. Truly talented. Would 100% go back and recommend him to anyone who’s looking for a new tattoo"

"Hands down the most talented group of tattoo artists in all of Buffalo!! Such a great environment too. Just got a tattoo by Nicole and I am blown away by her talent!!"

"Brian did an awesome job with bringing my half sleeve tattoo back to life. My previous artist closed his shop during Covid and moved out of Buffalo, but Brian did an excellent job looking at the unfinished section around the back of my shoulder and created a wonderful addition to the existing work. I am so happy with how it turned out! He and the rest of the artists were very friendly and welcoming, and the studio itself was beautiful and very clean. Would highly recommend checking it out."

"I had an amazing experience with Taylor and Crucible. It was my first time at the shop, and I only had a rough idea of what I wanted. Taylor had a drawing ready, but he completed the majority of the design right on me that day. He is an amazing artist and I could not be happier with how it turned out. Not only is he skilled but he was also very friendly. The shop itself is super clean and has a great atmosphere. I enjoyed checking out the artwork in the gallery while he set up too. I can’t wait to do another project here!"

"I had the pleasure of putting up my first exhibition at The Crucible Art Collective. The staff was such a big help, they supplied essential tools like levelers, nail, etc and Alicia took the time to teach me things about displaying artwork in general which will invaluable to me in my future as an artist. They were extremely cautious concerning covid restrictions and truly made the space as safe and as comfortable as someone could ask for. Great experience, really hoping to show with them again."
