Malik Cannon, also known as Str8 Menace, is a licensed tattoo artist with 14+ years of experience at Skin Design Tattoo Nashville. Malik has built his career on large-scale black and grey realism and custom lettering, with a portfolio that includes striking memorial portraits, religious imagery, and bold script pieces designed to carry real meaning for the people who wear them. His specialty, in his own words, is simple: creating masterpieces.
Specializations and Style
Malik specializes in black and grey realism, from detailed feather and wing work to lifelike portraits, including memorial tattoos that honor loved ones with striking accuracy. He’s equally known for custom script and lettering — clean, bold typography paired with symbolic imagery — as well as religious and faith-driven pieces that carry deep personal significance for his clients.
14+ Years of Craft
Malik’s experience shows in the scale and confidence of his work — full sleeves, large back and chest pieces, and detailed portrait work that requires a steady, practiced hand. He continues to push the size and ambition of his pieces while keeping every detail, from shading to script, precise.
Artistic Philosophy
Malik treats every tattoo as a story worth telling in full — never rushing a piece, and always working to make sure the final result carries the weight and meaning his clients are looking for. Whether it’s a portrait meant to honor someone’s memory or a script piece built around a personal mantra, Malik brings the same level of detail and care to every session, and the goal is always the same: a masterpiece.
