Ink Master personality Tyler Nolan denies accusations of simple battery of ex-girlfriend following arrest in Florida

One-time Ink Master contestant Tyler Nolan was arrested Tuesday in Palm Beach County, Florida in connection with a domestic violence incident alleged to have happened this past fall.

Nolan, 37, was taken into custody after his ex-girlfriend provided law enforcement with evidence he had been abusive toward her, officials with the Palm Beach County Sheriff said in documents reviewed by Daily Mail. 

Authorities said that deputies responded to a call at a Loxahatchee, Florida residence,  where Nolan’s former girlfriend showed them videos depicting the tattoo artist being physically abusive to her.

In one of the clips, Nolan’s ex-girlfriend was holding a towel which Nolan pulled on, causing the woman to be ‘yanked forward and downward,’ officials said in the report.

The Delray Beach, Florida native was seen in another clip purportedly grabbing his ex-girlfriend by the arm, deputies said in the report.

Daily Mail has reached out to Nolan, and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, for further comment on the story.

Nolan was also seen in a clip reviewed by deputies in which he allegedly yanked a blanket from his ex-girlfriend’s grasp, then threw it back at her, deputies said in the report.

The evidence from the aforementioned clip provided officials with enough probable cause to issue a warrant for Nolan’s arrest in connection with simple battery, deputies said.

The clip had been filmed in October 2025, Nolan’s ex-girlfriend told deputies. 

Nolan was booked into Palm Beach County jail in connection with the allegations, deputies said.

Nolan appeared at a court hearing Thursday, and was told to keep his distance from his ex-girlfriend, deputies said.

Nolan described his ex-girlfriend as ‘a vengeful person’ and denied the claims as a ‘bunch of bulls***’ while speaking with TMZ.

He added: ‘I haven’t talked to her since October, bunch of he said she said bulls**t.’

Nolan filed a motion earlier Tuesday telling the court that he never got proper notice about the charges, requesting the arrest warrant be set aside based on that.
