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.
  • Realism and portrait work depends heavily on reference quality — clean, well-lit source photos make the biggest difference.
  • 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.

This is a great shop. Very professional setting, good vibes from everyone there, very clean and aesthetically pleasing. I personally go to Josh frequently (all my pictures are of his work, IG: jpereztattoos). He's always on time, always ready for whatever you throw at him and always in a good vibe. He's got a light hand and works smoothly and efficiently. I usually make all my appointments on Instagram (monolithtattoo) the shop page has links to all the artists and you can message them there. Make sure you pay for your parking during work day hours. You can pay with coin or pay on the Park 915 app if parking in the street. This location is downtown and that's how parking is. I have children too and I've brought them here when I don't have a sitter and had them wait in the waiting area with their tablet or Nintendo switches, it's that kind of welcoming, clean and professional setting that allows me to feel comfortable doing that. I can't even say that about some pediatricians lol.

Carla is an amazing artist. She is kind, respectful, creative, and doesn’t price gouge you for incredible work. She has done three pieces on me and I will keep going back to her. Thanks Monolith!

I walked in while visiting from out of town. Josh did an amazing job. He created exactly what I was hoping for. He was welcoming and friendly. The shop had a good vibe and was clean and tidy. A+ for the quality of Josh’s work.
