After decades in tattooing, Pierre Chapelan created BlueSteel with a simple vision: craft tools worthy of the hands that use them. Designed by tattooers, refined through experience, and built for those who care about the craft.

I didn’t learn art and design within the right angles of a classroom — I discovered it on walls. Graffiti culture and the subcultures that defy the codes: that is my foundation.
Graphic design is the natural continuation of that path. Typography that hits hard, composition that strikes, imagery that says what words cannot. These two passions I now put to work for Blue Steel Tattoo.
