Black Sails Tattoo

Black Sails Tattoo is a tattoo shop in Port Charlotte, FL, serving clients with custom body art and professional piercings. The studio specializes in traditional, custom, and detailed tattoo work, with a focus on ear piercings, microdermals, and surface piercings. Founded in 2016 after the renovation and rebranding of the long-standing Level 5 Tattoo and Piercing, the shop has rebuilt its presence following extensive damage from Hurricane Ian in 2022. After a year-long closure, it reopened in March 2024 and continues to serve the community with quality craftsmanship. The shop maintains a strong reputation, reflected in its 4.90 rating from 723 reviews, and welcomes walk-ins with gift cards available.

The studio was originally established as Level 5 Tattoo, one of the oldest tattoo studios in Port Charlotte, which thrived in the early 2000s before facing decline. After a change in ownership, the shop was acquired by Shaun, who managed it for nearly eight years before Hurricane Ian caused extensive damage. Following the storm, Shaun invested his savings and effort into rebuilding the studio from the ground up. Today, the team includes artists Shaun, Desiray, Jeff, Tina, Sarah, and Chelsea, with Shaun overseeing operations and continuing to offer piercing services by request. The studio emphasizes quality, affordability, and personalized service, with a commitment to maintaining a welcoming and professional environment.

Located on S Tamiami Trail Unit H, the shop sits just a short walk from the Mid-County Regional Library and MD Now Urgent Care, less than a quarter-mile from Tamiami Trail, and within a half-mile of Franz Ross Park and Millennium Physician Group. Its central location near key local facilities makes it easily accessible to residents and visitors alike.

Black Sails Tattoo is recognized for its strong local reputation and an established track record supported by a large volume of positive customer reviews. The business stands out as a resilient, community-focused studio with deep roots in the area, known for its consistent quality and dedication to its clientele. With a legacy of continuity through change and adversity, it remains a trusted name in Port Charlotte’s tattoo and body art scene.
