For nearly 10 years, Carol Silva has been turning ideas into unforgettable art on skin. As the owner of The Empire Tattoo Co., she specializes in Black & Gray Realism and  Blackwork.

Carol’s superpower? Listening. She believes every tattoo should tell your story, not just look cool. Whether it’s honoring a loved one, celebrating a milestone, or creating something totally unique, she works with you to design art that feels personal and lasts a lifetime.

Her studio isn’t just a shop—it’s a welcoming space where everyone feels at home. Good music, zero judgment, and a focus on making sure you love what you leave with. (Fun fact: Carol built this studio as a woman in a male-dominated field. Spoiler: She’s booked months in advance!)
