Ben Oz: Dark Neo-Trad from the Florida Underground

Some artists build a following. Ben Oz built a universe. Based out of Lake Worth, Florida, the owner of Twisted Tuna Tattoo has spent years developing a body of work that sits at the intersection of dark neo-traditional, neo-Japanese, and illustrative tattooing — imagery that feels like it was pulled from a fever dream and made permanent.

The Shop Behind the Artist

Ben isn't just a tattooist — he's a shop owner. Twisted Tuna Tattoo (@twistedtunatattoo) is his house, and it reflects everything he's built: a space rooted in custom work, real craft, and a client base that comes specifically for what he does. That kind of ownership changes the way an artist operates. There's skin in the game at every level.

The Work

Ben's style is bold, dark, and narrative-driven. Neo-traditional structures give his pieces architectural weight — strong outlines, deliberate color fields — while neo-Japanese influences push the compositions into something more layered and mythological. The illustrative thread running through all of it gives each piece a distinct visual voice. These aren't tattoos that blend into the background.

He runs a mix of custom work and flash, keeping things accessible without diluting the quality. His booking process is streamlined: DM the word "BOOK" and the process begins.

122K and Earning It

With 122,000 followers, Ben has built one of the more legitimate mid-tier presences in the tattoo world — the kind of following that comes from consistently putting out strong work rather than chasing viral moments. The feed speaks for itself.

Sullen Family

Dark imagery, Florida roots, independent shop ownership, and a tattooing philosophy built on custom art over cookie-cutter work — Ben Oz fits the Sullen Art Collective's DNA at every point. This is the culture the brand was built to represent.
