Where Myth Becomes Art
Raven's Ink was born from a simple vision: create a sanctuary where ancient myths and modern artistry converge.
In 2018, Marcus Corvus opened the doors to what would become Riverside's premier mythological and fantasy tattoo studio. Inspired by a lifetime of studying ancient legends and epic fantasy, Marcus envisioned a space where blackwork, mythology, and mystical art could flourish.
The studio itself reflects our philosophy. Exposed brick walls adorned with fantasy art, mythological illustrations, and celestial maps create an enchanting atmosphere.
Warm Edison bulb lighting casts atmospheric shadows. Carefully curated instrumental music—everything from Celtic harps to epic soundtracks—sets a mystical tone. This isn't just a tattoo shop—it's a gateway to legendary worlds.
Master craftsmen of mythological and fantasy art
Summoning artists...
While many studios offer blackwork, we specialize in bringing ancient stories and magical creatures to life.
Every artist brings extensive knowledge of Norse, Celtic, Greek, and global mythologies, as well as passion for fantasy literature.
We believe tattoos are connections to timeless stories—representations of personal journeys, symbols of transformation and power.
Our artists research symbolism, understand the stories behind imagery, and collaborate to honor both artistic vision and legendary tradition.
From your first small constellation to full Norse mythology coverage, we treat every tattoo as a chapter in your personal legend.
We don't just execute designs—we ensure every piece honors its mythological roots.
Technical mastery combined with deep understanding of legendary art forms.
A gathering place for mythology enthusiasts, fantasy lovers, and seekers of meaningful art.
The Raven's Ink community extends beyond our studio walls. We host monthly mythology discussion groups where artists and clients explore ancient tales together. We sponsor local fantasy and science fiction events.
Since opening, we've earned national recognition through magazine features, convention awards, and word-of-mouth from satisfied clients.
Our greatest pride comes from the community we've built—a space where mythology enthusiasts, fantasy lovers, and anyone drawn to legendary art feel welcomed and understood.
If you're seeking generic flash tattoos, we're probably not your studio. But if you want mythologically rich, artistically excellent, deeply meaningful work created by artists who truly understand ancient legends and fantasy worlds—
Welcome to Raven's Ink.
