Red Tide Ink is a tattoo artist in Selkirk whose work centres on fine line. Of the 51 pieces on Perspectiv, 5 are fine line, and no other style appears often enough to count. Nearly all of it is black and grey, measured from the pieces themselves. Skull, butterfly, wings and rose come up again and again. The forearm and the thigh are the usual placements. 34 of the pieces are shown healed rather than fresh. Portfolio last updated August 2026.
