MORE THAN SKIN

About

Levi Phillips is a black and grey realism tattoo artist from Somerset, England, tattooing under the name levi70six. With over 17 years in the industry, Levi's journey into tattooing began instinctively—driven by a lifelong obsession with drawing and the idea of turning skin into a living canvas. Art was the one constant he excelled at growing up, and his first experience holding a tattoo machine came unexpectedly through a close friend, igniting a passion that has never faded.

Levi specialises in black and grey realism, focusing on contrast, depth, and fine detail to create tattoos that feel timeless and emotionally charged. His work is rooted in smooth shading, subtle gradients, and precision, with particular attention paid to portraits, animals, and meaningful symbolic pieces. Every tattoo is approached as a story—built not just to look real, but to feel real.

Beyond tattooing, Levi is a long-standing DJ and drum & bass producer known as Blade (dnb), with music playing a vital role in his creative identity. Photography and track riding further fuel his artistic flow, all tied together by a drive for freedom, progression, and self-expression. Inspired by family, evolving tattoo culture, and global artistry, Levi continues to push his work forward—creating powerful, personal tattoos designed to last a lifetime...
