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.
- Larger Japanese pieces are usually booked across multiple sittings — plan for at least two visits.
- Realism and portrait work depends heavily on reference quality — clean, well-lit source photos make the biggest difference.
- Cover-ups are quoted in person — bring a clear photo of the existing piece before requesting a quote.

Just got a new piece of art thanks to Doc! Had a tribute piece done to memorialize my pup who recently passed away. Doc (@docula_ink) was so patient and handled the many, many, many, MANY pictures I sent for reference. He was very responsive and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. I love this piece so much!! In addition to Doc being awesome. Everyone in the shop was so nice, Bianca, Eric, Alejandro, and the owner Tim. 100% recommended for your tattoo and piercing needs.
My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Rose & Dagger Tattoo with Tim, the owner and artist. He patiently worked with us on our design, making every adjustment we requested until it was just right. Tim personally handled both the artwork and the tattoos, and his attention to detail really showed. The shop itself was clean and had a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that immediately put us at ease. He never rushed the process, taking his time to make sure everything was perfect. We’re both so happy with the results and highly recommend Tim and Rose & Dagger to anyone looking for quality work and a great overall experience!
I had such a great experience here! I got my nostril and mid-helix pierced by Bianca and she was absolutely wonderful, professional, gentle, and made me feel comfortable the entire time. When I came back a month later with a small piercing bump, she took the time to check it and put on a healing disc for me. The prices for the jewellery are very affordable, and the care they put into making sure your piercings heal well is amazing. Highly recommend this place and especially her if you’re thinking about getting a piercing!
