Billy Haydock
Tattoo Artist
Billy Haydock has been one of the best things about tattooing in Brevard county for over ten years. Coming to Florida by way of California, Billy has achieved many things in his life from being a sponsored snowboarder to working with members of the legendary punk band The Misfits, to becoming one of Melbourne Florida’s premier tattoo artists.
Billy and Robbie started working together about 5 years ago and the rest is history. Doing an array of art styles through his tattoo career, Billy has found himself gravitating towards the art forms of Illustrative Pointillism, Geometric, and Japanese inspired dark imagery.
Billy is a bright shining light in the world and is a massive pleasure to be around. If you find yourself lucky enough to have a tattoo from him your life may be forever changed. A family man, a sweetheart, a beautiful soul, you’re sure to love any piece of artwork he creates on you for this lifetime and possibly a few more after.

Lyndsey Selby aka Lyzard
Tattoo Artist
Lyndsay finished her apprenticeship under Robbie Ripoll in late 2021. The way this young lady understands art is on a whole ‘nother level & she brings it to you in her surrealistic funky fun style.
Being a person who doesn’t subscribe to societal norms, also goes by the name Lyzard. It’s a nickname she picked up along her journey that just kinda stuck! One of the most unique and awesome individuals that you will ever meet, our very own Lyzard is will always do her best to deliver a one of a kind tattoo, that you will cherish for a lifetime every time!!!!
Prone to paint would be a super accurate way to describe Lyzard. She muraled her entire bedroom including the ceiling. And can be found on any given day inside the shop or out, making art of some kind. She’s part hippie, part rad old biker dude, an old soul, and a kick ass person to spend quality time with while getting a rad new tattoo.
Macklin Morano
Body Piercer
Mack has been around tattoo shops since he was a preteen. His family got tattooed by Robbie which is where it all began! He has been getting tattooed for around two decades. In addition to his extensive and ever growing tattoo collection he has undergone some rad body modifications including a moon shaped subdermal implant in his hand and a tongue split. He has gotten to experience human body suspension a number of times as well. To say this dude is comfortable around a needle is an understatement.
Needles aren’t all this man is good with! He’s been a chef and still loves to cook, and is pretty darn good at it too. He’s been in construction as well as cosmetology, but found his happiest place in the piercing world.
A mouth full of gold, a neck full of jewelry and a piercing needle in hand, Big Mack has got your back. He’s always into going to extremes so bring your craziest piercing ideas, because who knows what kind of cool stuff he can do on you!
