BENCE
Hungarian-born in Veszprém, Bence started tattooing early, completing his apprenticeship at the only shop in his hometown before setting off to build his career abroad. Resident spots in Serbia, Germany, and Oslo followed, along with three years of shop management experience in Norway and guest spots across Finland, England, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. That same drive took him to tattoo conventions throughout the U.S. and Asia, where he crossed paths with Caesar — the connection that eventually brought him to Killer Silver Tattoo. Bence settled in New York City in 2016, and his color-driven style blends new school and neo-traditional into bold, one-of-a-kind pieces shaped by everywhere he's worked. When he's not tattooing, he's deep into punk and hardcore music or running his own skateboard and clothing brand, DamnnationSk8.

SOMA KIRALY
Soma Kiraly is a Budapest-born tattoo artist trained under renowned Hungarian artist Bakonyi Mihály, building a fine-art foundation before starting to tattoo at 18, in 2008, at Stinger's Tattoo in Budapest. Inspired as a child by Boris Vallejo's fantasy art, he later met Vallejo in person — an experience he counts among his career's most meaningful. Soma works in color and black & grey, drawn to unique, imaginative, unconventional concepts over anything standard. Early recognition and awards opened doors to studios worldwide while he was still in his twenties. Today he owns two shops of his own — Neogenesis Tattoo in Birmenstorf, Switzerland, and a studio in Hungary — while guesting several times a year and returning to the U.S. regularly to bring clients ideas to life. Now is your opportunity to book him at Killer Silver Tattoo in Scarsdale, NY.

Caesar
Hungarian-born and entirely self-taught, Caesar has spent 25+ years mastering large-scale black & gray photorealism - work that takes multiple sessions and doesn't rush. He's tattooed at 100+ international conventions, been featured across 50+ magazine publications, and earned a 29-page feature in the Black & Grey Tattoo book. Caesar also created Killer Silver Ink, the REACH-certified formula used in every tattoo at the studio.

Guest artists travel from out of state or overseas for a residency of roughly 3–14 days, depending on the artist's availability. Their time here is limited and every appointment slot matters — Killer Silver Tattoo cannot bring an artist in only to have empty chairs from no-shows or late cancellations. This process protects the artist's time and the studio's reputation, and it's what makes it possible to bring you a caliber of guest artist you couldn't otherwise reach for a piece.
- Clients submit inquiries and are placed on a waitlist.
- The guest artist reviews the inquiries and selects the clients they want to work with.
- Once 5–6 clients are approved, they're contacted and can create their own login to choose their day and time from the artist's available slots. Booking is first-come, first-served, so the sooner a client books, the more date options they have. The visit itself typically takes place within 90 days of being contacted.
- A $500 non-refundable deposit — applied toward the final price — is required at the time of booking, within 7 days of being contacted.
- Only after all deposits are secured does the guest artist book flights, hotel, and travel arrangements.
Note: Gathering the required 5–6 approved clients from the waitlist can take time, and the 90-day window only starts once a client is contacted. Missed the 7-day window but still interested? Reach out to Killer Silver Tattoo directly — there may be room to fit you in. Otherwise, your spot rolls to the waitlist for the artist's next visit.
