Phoenix Tattoos is a custom tattoo studio at 63 Tahunanui Drive, Nelson.

From small individual pieces through to larger custom work, I design tattoos around the person rather than relying on generic flash.

ABOUT SCOTT / ABOUT PHOENIX TATTOOS

Art has been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. I taught myself to tattoo at 18 and opened my own shop around 25. In 2006 I taught myself airbrushing, and since then I’ve created hundreds of paintings across cardboard, canvas, steel, cars, helmets and even a prosthetic leg.

My work naturally leans alien, mechanical and dark—even when that isn’t the intention. I love commissions, portraits and taking something familiar and pushing it somewhere unexpected. Digital work has given me another way to explore colour, texture and detail without losing that distinctive Phoenix Tattoos style.

Have a rough idea, an old drawing or no idea where to start? Get in touch. Consultations are free and we can shape it together.

ABOUT ELANTROCIDE

Elantrocide is an independent music and visual project created in Nelson, New Zealand. It moves between atmospheric progressive metal, 1970s psychedelic rock, doom, death and black metal, dark folk and industrial sound. Each release is built as its own world rather than following a single fixed formula.

THE SOUND

Ethereal clean voices collide with death and black-metal vocals, vintage organ, acoustic passages, odd time signatures, heavy riffs and long-form progressive arrangements.

THE WORLD

The songs open into a connected dark mythology of memory, grief, machinery and transformation: the Mourning Engine, the red moon, the Hidden Vale and the figures who move through them.

FEATURED RELEASES

Somewhere Under Everything

A dreamlike cycle of vintage organ, psychedelic colour, ethereal vocals and sudden weight—music that feels buried beneath fields, rivers and sleeping machines.

The Lexicon of Borrowed Grief

A collection built around strange emotions that are difficult to name, moving from intimate reflection to unpredictable progressive and extreme-metal turns.

The Mourning Engine

The darker mechanical heart of Elantrocide: ritual, memory and colossal machinery expressed through industrial textures, doom weight and cinematic scale.

New songs and visual worlds are added regularly. Use the links above to hear the complete Elantrocide catalogue.
