Good to know before you book

  • 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.
  • Calendars tend to book several weeks out — reach out as early as possible if you have a target date.

Absolutely incredible Death Leprosy tattoo done by Trey. He also did an amazing Black Sabbath Henry tattoo on me last month. He was the perfect artist to do a permanent tribute to one of my favorite bands. I will be coming back here for all of my future tattoos.

As someone who is very heavily tattooed, I am no stanger to a tattoo shop. This place is really fantastic across the board. Everything is very clean and organized here. I went here while on vacation, and can't speak highly enough of my experience. I came in early in the day with an idea of what I wanted and was told that it wouldn't be any issue to return later in the day. I was quoted a cost up front, and made to feel very welcome by the staff. When I returned later, my artist quickly drew up my design to my specifications. The vibe in the shop is really great. All the artists who were around were friendly and chatty. My artist, Evan, was very easygoing and fun to talk to while I was getting tattooed. He also did a great job on the tattoo and gave me exactly what I wanted. I wish I lived nearby and could make this my regular shop because I had such a great experience.

Bob Z was my artist and has done such an amazing job. My first piece by him I just send him pictures of a few things I liked and he came out with this amazing piece! I just went in today for my 2 piece and let him come with everything for it, it was a total surprise and I'm so in love with these tattoos! I have 5 others and these 2 are by far my favorites! I definitely recommend this shop and Bob, crazy great vibes and bad ass work!
