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 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.

With 10 years of experience in tattooing under his belt, Trevor does a little bit of everything. He loves tattooing colorful traditional work, and woodcut-style designs most of all, but he's down for just about anything.
