Good to know before you book
- Fine-line and micro work here demands a clear reference — bring high-res images and expect a short consult before the needle.
- Traditional pieces tend to be quoted by piece, not hourly. Ask for flash sheets if you want a same-week appointment.
- Realism and portrait work depends heavily on reference quality — clean, well-lit source photos make the biggest difference.
- Colour-heavy pieces benefit from a structured touch-up visit 4–6 weeks after healing.
- Walk-in availability isn't always posted online — a quick phone call is the fastest way to know if they can fit you in today.

I’ve been a loyal client of Little Pricks Tattoo for nearly a decade, and each visit continues to exceed my expectations. The staff consistently demonstrates professionalism, kindness, and a genuine passion for their craft. The artists take the time to offer thoughtful recommendations and design adjustments to ensure each tattoo not only looks incredible but stands the test of time. The shop itself is impeccably clean and welcoming, creating an environment where clients feel comfortable and cared for. I personally work with Kyle, the co-owner, whose talent and attention to detail are second to none. If you’re considering a tattoo, I wholeheartedly recommend giving Little Pricks a chance. Their dedication to quality and client experience is unmatched—you won’t regret it.
Damian is the GOAT! He brought the image I gave him to life and then lit it on fire!! I cannot even begin to put into words how amazing this man’s talent is. It doesn’t end with Damian though. All the artists that were in the studio as we were finishing came over to appreciate the art that was coming to life and were all so kind. My husband found the studio through a google search and now he needs to get a second job bc Little Pricks is getting all my money. 🤣
I wanted a Rock of Ages tattoo for my 60th b-day with my own twist on it and Bishop did a fabulous job of designing it and applying it on me. I asked Tita for a Winnie-the-Pooh Angel and she did an awesome job of making it her own. I sent Skye a few ideas for my Faith, Hope, Love tattoo and she did fabulous work taking a little from each to make it exactly the way I wanted it. I absolutely love all of them!!!
