Zachary Smith has been an artist ever since he can remember. Originally from Baltimore Maryland, spending most of his childhood in southern Pennsylvania. It was hard to find him at any point without a pencil or spray can in hand. Influenced by the graffiti and skateboarding scene growing up, he was quickly drawn to the beauty that tattoos were as a permanent form of art. He told his parents at 13 he wanted to be a tattoo artist and 6 years later he made that a reality. Right after graduating high school he started his journey in learning how to tattoo in Albany New York and soon after Hua Hin Thailand. Returning home he Opened his first studio “Profet Ink” in Glen Rock Pa in the winter of 2015. After a total of almost 6 years open in Glen Rock Zach and his wife Arianna were looking for a change and decided to move to Chester county Pennsylvania. Accepting a Job at White oak tattoo company in West Chester, PA. He spent the next three years working for Gia Rose and Angus Davidson and then the now owners Matt and Heather Beirne. Ready to embark on his next journey, Zach has set out to open a new studio in Chester County like no other.
My work is based on the concept of balance between control and chaos. I believe art should be a reflection of ones inner self. My tattoos and paintings are not just about beauty, but also raw emotion. Human emotion is so visceral, strong, delicate, beautiful, ugly, and so much more. I hope to be able to interpret all of those things for my clients and those who view my artwork.
