Who We Are?

Black Pencil is not just a tattoo shop, it is a collective of professional artists united by tattooing.
Our team consists of professional artists with many years of work experience. Our tattoo artists are prize winners and jury members of international tattoo festivals.
Most of us have an art background and are constantly practicing and improving our art skills every day. We believe that the quality and style of tattoos directly depends on this. If you are looking for a professional tattoo studio with a high level of professionalism,
we suggest you try our tattoo studio and get a free consultation.

  • The Black Pencil collective was created in Kyiv in 2018.

    The author of the idea and the initiator of the creation of this collective is Michael Chernov, with the support of Teti Malik and Sergo Mazur who are professionals in their field and ambassadors of world tattoo brands, which confirms their level of qualification. Despite the war in Ukraine, our studio continues to work in Kyiv and expand its borders and opened in 2022 a new studio in Toronto, Canada, under the leadership of Michael.

    Many of us have an art education and those of us who are happy to study, constantly practice and improve our artistic skills. We believe that the quality of tattoos directly depends on this. Love and interest in art is what unite our team. We are sure that tattooing is a form of art, and that the tattooist must be able to draw. If you are looking for a studio where you can fully trust the artist and relax, then you are in the right place.
    Based on our experience and knowledge, we always recommend to our clients only what we can be sure of. Reputation and a result that meets your expectations are important to us. Be that as it may, we remember that we are working with a service, the result of which will accompany you for the rest of your life, and there is simply no room for mistakes. That's why we try to provide as much information as possible to our potential customers and always offer a free consultation because it's better to ask seven times than attend a laser tattoo removal session seven times (not a joke).

By the way, a pencil is the simplest, but a fundamental artistic tool.
In the world's leading art schools, in the first years, students learn only academic drawing with a pencil and only then begin to study and use new tools and techniques.
All creativity begins with a pencil: painting, architecture, design, music and, of course, tattooing. In the circle of creative people, it is known that a highly professional sketch is one made with a soft pencil, and its colour is black.
It is in such sketches that you can see the hand of the master, the confidence of the line and his style. We strive to combine all this in the work of our Black Pencil tattoo studio.
