Meet the Blackline Monkey – inspired by the roots of our original Inksmiths artwork and reworked for a new era.

Blackline Design Tattoo is a private tattoo studio owned and operated by Tristan Smith, specialising in custom tattooing, freehand designs, traditional, black & grey, and bold custom work. Based at 172 Victoria Avenue, Whanganui, every piece is designed with individuality, longevity, and solid craftsmanship in mind.

This hoodie represents the culture, creativity, and tattoo community that Blackline was built on. Whether you’re a client, collector, or supporter of the studio, wear it with pride.
