Black Candle Tattoo Co.

Safety and cleanliness to a whole new level. Great studio space. Check that patch style tat out

Amazing tattoo artist in a very clean and professional atmosphere. You will feel comfortable. Highly recommend.

My session with Leif was perfectly splendid! I booked an appointment for another tattoo almost immediately after I got home from our first session. He gave me my fifth tattoo and it's my favorite thus far and he's been my favorite tattoo artist to work with, as well. Highly recommend Black Candle Tattoo Co. <3

My tattoo still looks amazing a year later. Leif was able to turn the vague description of what I wanted into the tattoo I pictured in my head. I won't use another artist.

Leif is very professional. Client focused. Studio is clean. Leif was patient with me in determining my very first tattoo. He did a phenomenal job on my art. Will most definitely go back again. You wont be disappointed!

Thank You Leif, Your professionalism, expertise, and passion are unmatched. The work you do is impressive beyond words. Your skills will only become more and more recognized, I look forward to seeing you become a long standing and recommended shop and Artist, your hard work is worth it, and it shows. "You did good kid" ❤️

Leif was incredibly professional and welcoming. I am very happy with the result of my artwork and definitely look forward to visiting Black Candle again.

It has been years since my last tattoo. I cannot express how impressed I was with Leif's studio. His studio was incredibly clean, quiet, and gave off a salon/spa type feel with clean lines, openness, and overall relaxing atmosphere. As a fairly anxious individually, I felt very relaxed and comfortable. He was also VERY attentive with COVID precautions. EVERYTHING from chairs to my own phone and drivers licence were disenfected. Masks were a requirement for his and my safety. As a health care professional, I felt safer at his place than anywhere else I have had to go during this awful time (even my own workplace). He was patient, kind, and professional. There was no rushing and he wanted to be sure to get what I wanted exactly how I wanted it. During the 2.5 hours I was there, he kept it incredibly professional, yet comfortable. He worked continuously from start to finish. If this is how his place is now, fairly newish and during a pandemic, I cannot wait to see how it evolves. Lastly, he is not just an ink slinger, but an artist and it shows in all of his work. I highly recommend Black Candle Tattoo and will definitely be a customer in the future. Thank you for the awesom work, I love it even before it is healed. You captured the authenticiy of my dogs' prints beautifully. I will have to share a picture once it is healed.

I had a great first tattoo experience with Leif!

Leif has always been my go-to guy.

Lief is an amazingly creative artist. I verbally conveyed to him the vision that I had for all the tattoos that he has performed on me, and he masterfully recreated these visions. He truly listens to his canvases to ensure to capture the essence of your ideas then goes to work! Where ever you are coming from Black Candle is worth the drive! ✊

Leif is truly awesome to work with. He definitely puts the time in to bring life to your tattoo. His linework is crisp and clean, just like his studio and he is always professional. I can't wait for my next session!

Leif is a true professional and artist. My wife and I have been tattooed multiple times by Leif, and we will continue to come back for all to come. His attention to each detail—from artistry to going above and beyond with safety measures and precautions is truly second to none (especially in today’s COVID world). The communication and ease of scheduling makes Black Candle the top place to go. His kindness and genuine conversations make the experience a safe and calming environment—he’s a true talent to his trade. You will love meeting Leif Kolt and having his artwork on display!

I have three pieces by Leif Kolt!!! My favorite by far is the quarter sleeve that is a memorial to my grandparents!!! I gave him my ideas and he turned it into an amazing piece of art!!! As long as I live in TC, he is my go to artist!!! Thank you for all your beautiful work and I can't wait to see your new shop!!! So excited for you and your new journey ❤️

Leif Kolt is an amazing artist who has perfected his skills in tattooing.I have had multiple tattoos from him and have another appointment in the books. He is crazy talented!!! Absolutely love the new studio!!!!

Leif is a talented artist, he was able to translate exactly what I wanted in my tattoo into a beautiful piece of art. Already dreaming up the next piece!!

I have gotten three tattoos from Leif Kolt and I love them all! I recently got one after tattoo shops were reopened (covid) and he was very careful, clean, and considerate. Very good line work at a great price

Leif is a great tattoo artist! Over the past few years he's done six tattoos for me and I have loved every single one of them. I would definitely recommend getting tattooed Leif. You won't regret it!

I had a cover up done by Leif. Before he started, I had keloid scaring and uneven lines and asymmetry of the design. Tough canvas. He professionally advised me to go with designs and details that would work better for my situation. I was amazed how it turned out! Love the crisp lines and color transitions! He added some highlights and made it stand out which was a nice touch. I wish I had before and after photo to share... Even his master at the time was amazed, with a huge approval smile on his face. Leif is a talented artist with a great personality, easy to work with. Highly recommended!

Can only recommend Leif for a tattoo - I had mine done by him nearly 3 years ago, and it still looks fantastic and many people ask about it. He’s certainly a professional in every sense - whether you’re a first timer (like I was) or a seasoned pro, he will make sure all goes smoothly from start to finish. A true artist and an absolute must if you are looking for a high quality tattoo!
