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

I had the most amazing experience at Black Swan Tattoo Studio! The studio is beautiful, welcoming, and incredibly clean. Bin is truly phenomenal. I got a pet portrait, and I’m absolutely blown away by the result. The level of detail and precision is incredible — Bin perfectly captured my pet’s likeness, personality, and expression. It’s not just a tattoo; it’s a meaningful piece of art that I’ll cherish forever. The whole experience was smooth, professional, and genuinely enjoyable. If you’re considering a tattoo — I highly recommend Bin at Black Swan Tattoo Studio. I couldn’t be happier and will definitely be coming back!
I had a great experience working with Johnathan! I gave him my vision, and he did an amazing job bring it to life. He was polite and took of me. He was patient and paid attention to detail. I mean his work speaks for itself! Definitely recommend getting your next tattoo with him or anyone at the shop. They were all nice and have great work. The aesthetic in the shop was top tier and the decorations were awesome! The shop was also very clean and well taken care of. I’ll definitely be coming to him for my next piece. Shout out to Johnathan for this amazing piece! 10/10
Got a tattoo by Henry about 3 weeks ago and it was a great experience. I was there about 7 hours and saw multiple people come in, get tattoos, and leave happy, all treated well. The shop is clean and the artists respectful. As for Henry, this was hands down the best tattoo experience I've had. He gave good advice for design and is obviously skilled as the healing process went smooth, which means he has good control. I've attached fresh and healed photos for comparison.
