Whether you are looking for a small tattoo or a large-scale sleeve we have you covered. Our tattoo consultations are always free. Schedule a consultation with one of our talented tattoo artist to go over your tattoo design ideas, and learn how we can bring your vision to life. The best way to get scheduled is to submit a contact form, but we take walk-in's too.

Step 2. Custom Tattoo Design

After your consultation, your artist will need some time to draw and refine your ideas. Depending on the scale of the tattoo design, this process can take a few days to several weeks for large scale pieces.
Looking for a small tattoo or same-day service? Give us a call, we occasionally have walk-in availability.

Step 3. Tattoo Session

Testimonials

Eric was attuned to detail concerns, he was patient with a great positive attitude and picked up the ball where other tattoo artists couldn't. I will be going back for all my work. Thanks Eric.

Joshua Brown

Absolutely loved working with Jaysin. He was willing to work with my schedule, fair pricing, soft handed. He brought my ideas to life for an original piece. I would highly recommend this shop especially this artist

Christina Collier

I had one tattoo touched up and another covered up today. Both were on my feet. Absolutely thrilled with it! Jaysin covered up an existing tattoo with a hand-drawn design that, I think, perfectly fits my post-Roe rage tattoo in that he put (what I think looks like) flowery uteruses on my foot. The subtly incorporated middle finger makes me so happy! The other one kept some of the imperfections I wanted to keep but he made it so much better. He was so professional and I enjoyed the conversation with him and Eric. 10/10 would recommended!
