Buster
Buster has been tattooing since 2009. He had a 3 year apprenticeship and learned as much as he could from his mentor. Since the age of 18, he had been offered several apprenticeships by multiple shop owners. At the time, he was going to school for graphic design and wanted to pursue that as his career. He continued to draw tattoo designs for friends until finally an offer for an apprenticeship was worth his consideration. He has trained and learned from various artists so that he can be well rounded and educated in the art of tattoo. He now has a strong following and is able to do his own custom designs. Buster continues to strive to be as good as he can possibly be. Taking on cover -ups, sleeves and even large scale pieces. With every tattoo he shows his love for art as well as care for the client.
Now pushing the limits of what he can do, he has been taking other forms of art classes to help him get even better at what he is most passionate about. Tattooing is his life and he will continue to live it as well as learn from it. He originally started his art career painting graffiti style murals which he still does today. The styles he enjoys most are the completely original color or black and grey designs that he first designs from nothing. He tries to push the limits to impress his clients by doing so with his custom freehand drawings and sketches to portray what the client has in mind.
He also likes to do:
♦ Black and grey realistic style
♦ Color realistic style
♦ Horror
♦ Japanese style
♦ Freehand drawn instead of stenciled pieces
♦ Fine detail
As time goes on Buster continues to grow and evolve in his art. One day he hopes to stand with those he has looked up to and be considered their equal. Respect amongst clients and fellow tattooers is something he takes pride in.

Felicia
Felicia aka "FLEA" has been a part of the tattoo industry since 2019, but her love for the creating art started way before that. Since she was little, she was painting, drawing, sculpting and photographing whatever caught her eye. She has been constantly exploring new ways to express herself and turn imagination into something you can see, feel and connect with. Now, as an artist at Ink Buster Tattoo, she's turned that passion into a full-time way of helping people feel more at home in their own skin.
Certified in both Nassau and Suffolk counties to practice body art and body piercing, Flea's favorite tattoo styles include:
She likes to do:
