Custom work, clean lines

Fine line, black-and-grey, color, cover-ups — bring a finished design or a rough idea and we'll draw it up with you before anything is final.

Custom Tattoos

One-of-a-kind tattoo designs worked out with the artist, whether the idea starts as the client's own sketch or something developed in the shop.

Portraits and Photo Realism

Detailed portrait and photo-realistic work, the specialty that has brought the studio its awards.

American Traditional Tattoos

Bold-lined, brightly colored traditional work with the clean, lasting look the style is known for.

Piercing services in the studio, including ear, navel and dermal piercings, done with single-use sterile equipment.

Oral Piercing

Oral piercings with clear aftercare guidance on rinsing, healing time and when jewelry can be changed.

Touch-Ups and Aftercare Support

Detailed written aftercare for tattoos and piercings, plus touch-up appointments for healed work that needs a refresh.

Questions people actually ask

It depends on size, detail, and placement. Tell us the idea and we'll give you a real number after a quick consult — no surprises at the register.

Appointments are the sure way to get the artist you want. Walk-ins are welcome when a chair is open — call ahead and we'll tell you honestly.

Custom work is the heart of the studio. Bring reference photos, a sketch, or just words. For cover-ups, we'll look at what you've got and tell you straight what's possible.

Show up rested, fed, and sober — and bring your ID. You'll leave with aftercare instructions; follow them, keep it clean and moisturized, and it heals right.
