Hi there, welcome to Black Widow Tattoo crew, click on the tab links for our team.
\n\n
\n\nMy name is Erika Armstrong some people know me as 'Flossy' typically in New Zealand. I’m the dreamer, curator and artist of Black Widow Tattoo and Kustom.
\n\n
\n\nI am a #Tattoo Artist, #Custom Painter, #Airbrush Artist and now #Author.
\n\nMy road has not been mapped out for the faint hearted and so far I've managed to complete two apprenticeships, both of which are in very male dominated industries of Automotive Refinishing and Tattoo Art. I have been Painting cars for over 25 years and Tattooing for 17.
\n\n
\n\nAt the age of twelve I knew I was destined to be an Airbrush / Kustom Painter and Tattoo Artist. I was inspired by customised vehicles with fantasy art murals on them. Brightly colored paint schemes and the sparkly effects of flakes and candy paint had me mesmerized. That and my father’s avid passion for customised and hot-rodded cars, my future seemed to be fated. I’m a very lucky lady as all ‘three’ (Tattoo art, Custom Paint and Airbrush art) are the main ingredients of my life today.
\n\n
\n\nI created NSW, Australia’s - 'Black Widow Tattoo & Kustom' based on my shop 'Kustom' back home in Auckland, New Zealand. The goal and inspiration is to give customers the opportunity of acquiring a ‘professional service’ with the present day customer service attributes in my artistic arenas of (Tattoo art, Custom Paint and Airbrush art) .
\n\n
\n\nI am big believer in transparency. Be it a fundraiser, a business providing tattoos or a service of custom building hot-rods and Kustom paint. I always place myself in the customer’s shoes and try to consider what’s wanted. I want to know where my money is going and I want to be included in my service especially when it involves a comprehensive build or paint with high dollar figures. I break it down providing 100% transparency, with me and my team you know where every $5.00 of your money goes. We include the customer and deliver the goods.
\n\n
\n\nKustom cars and Artwork professionals will take the time to educate you to the many factors that are involved in all genres: Custom painting, Custom building projects or comprehensive and elaborate Tattoo pieces. Be Male or female, requiring Tattoo artwork, Kustom paint or customisation of your vehicle. I personally would want the basic service attributes and a right to expect them. And that is what my business services are designed around.
\n\n\n\n
Feel free to follow the Youtube Channel, Instagram, Facebook, as I’ve always got a 'cool' project or event on the go…
