The Artists

Courtenay Long (Owner)

Court hails from central Pennsylvania but has lived in Philadelphia for over 20 years. His tattooing years started with an apprenticeship in Kutztown, Pennsylvania in 1999 while he was in college at Kutztown University for Fine Art.

In 2001, after his apprenticeship and college years had ended, he headed to Philadelphia. Court worked in a few shops around Philly and traveled internationally before opening Incarnation Tattoo in 2019.

Court still does a great deal of traveling both to tattoo and for leisure, most of which is in Spain but other parts of Europe and the US as well.

Court’s preferred styles of tattooing are a blend of Art Nouveau, NeoTraditional, and Japanese and his favorite subject matters are plants and things from nature as well as skulls and ornamental design.

Patricio began tattooing in 2021 in Austin, Texas.

He has been living in Philadelphia since 2023, where he continues to specialize in linework, illustrative, sketchbook, and black and gray tattoos.

He enjoys working on designs that feature nature, nostalgia, critters, and/or anything cool and weird.
