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.

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!
