The journey

Twenty years of ink, from Dublin to the Côte d'Azur.

With more than twenty years behind the machine, Sergy is one of the most experienced artists on The Black Hat Tattoo team, splitting his time between our Dublin studio on Parnell Street and our shop on the French Riviera in Nice. That long career has made him remarkably versatile, and he firmly believes a complete tattoo artist should be able to adapt to any style a client dreams up.

His heart, though, lies in black and grey, realism and neotraditional work, where smooth gradients and confident line work let a design breathe on the skin. Sergy loves custom projects and freehand pieces drawn directly onto the body, so that every tattoo follows the natural flow of the muscle and becomes truly one of a kind.

Clients come to him with everything from detailed portraits and animals to large-scale cover-ups, and he treats each one as a chance to make the result even more beautiful than they had imagined. A big contributor to the tattoo community online, he shares his latest work generously on Instagram.

Between Dublin and the Côte d'Azur, Sergy brings the same calm, meticulous energy to every session, and yes, he always waits until his coffee goes cold before he drinks it. Book your next piece with Sergy at either of our studios.
