MEet our artists
Erin Hosfield
Erin Hosfield has been tattooing since 2006, after receiving her BA in Fine Art from California University of Pennsylvania. Her illustrative style frequently centers around various botanicals and pet portraits, though she enjoys a wide variety of subject matter in both color and black and gray.
Peter J Larkin III
Peter J Larkin III began tattooing in 2004 and became a pillar of the Kyklops family in 2009. Pete’s signature style of tattooing can be described as illustrative traditional, with focus on neon and classic color palettes.
Derrick Porter
Derrick is a local tattooer raised in Sewickley, PA. Born into a tattoo family, he first worked the desk at his father’s shop and eventually moved to the south side taking the shop manager position at Kyklops. After years on the business side, Derrick made the move to an artist and apprenticed under Pete Larkin.
David Montoya
After a guest spot at Kyklops, in 2023, David moved all the way from California to be our black & gray realism specialist. He’s good at all kinds of tattooing but is known for the realism. When he’s not tattooing, he’s busy being a handsome dad.
