Daily Inspiration: Meet Kyle Armstrong

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kyle Armstrong.

Hi Kyle, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Hello, I am Kyle Armstrong, Skin Vandal Tattoo’s owner and artist. Born in June of 1995, my artistic journey began at a very young age, long before I can even remember. Most recently, I began the art of tattooing in late 2016. In this new field, I have found practical applications of the skills acquired from my years of drawing, painting, creating, and selling digital art, as well as designing, sculpting, carving, and building decorative furniture. In the art of tattooing, everything I have learned is applied somehow. I enjoy many different styles of tattooing, such as Illustrated work, geometric, neotraditional, realism in both black and grey, as well as full color, and of course some gnarly bio-organic projects.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Navigating the world of owning a small business has been a challenge—one with many lessons and constant improvements. Managing Social media has always been the most difficult for me, but it is a skill that I continue to work on. Learning new trends is a fun challenge that requires constant attention, leading me to the studio’s most recent projects, which involve making funny videos to attract new eyes to our work.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
At Skin Vandal Tattoo and Art Studio, we specialize in the highest-quality tattoos. This stems from our dedication to continued learning in many aspects of art. The best work starts with a collaborative effort where we begin with a consultation to gather ideas; discuss different paths to arrive at a design that we will both be proud to work on. I take the most pride in my ability to have a fruitful consultation making sure that the customers ideas are the main priority. Another thing that might set me apart is that I really enjoy doing cover ups, and I get to do a lot of them.

Is there something surprising that you feel even people who know you might not know about?
I recently started painting murals and have a few more lined up for the summer!
