Blackmantle is a Los Angeles-based athletic wear company that combines AI-powered design technology with skin-tone matched fabrics to create custom tattoo-inspired garments. Founded in 2024, the company enables customers to experience the art of body modification without permanent commitment.
Using proprietary AI design tools and a palette of eight carefully calibrated skin tones, Blackmantle creates compression wear that creates the illusion of tattoo ink emerging from the wearer's own skin. Each piece is made-to-order using sustainable DTF printing technology.
The company has raised $12M in venture funding and serves customers in over 30 countries. Blackmantle was founded by Alex Chen, a former tattoo artist, and has grown to a team of 45 employees.
