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.

Amazing experience working Lashai. She was professional, experienced, and made me feel welcomed. Highly recommend to beginners thinking of your first tattoo or existing tattoo enthusiast looking for a new artist.
Got tattooed by Sisco at RS3 Studios and had an amazing experience. He absolutely nailed my neo-traditional piece. Bold, clean lines, rich color, and beautiful detail. The design flows perfectly and the execution is flawless. Super professional with a great vibe throughout the session. I couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend Sisco.
I have, well 11 tattoos now. I worked with Rob who taught me the difference between a tattoo artist and a tattooer. Not only is rob an artist he was so much fun to hang out with. His shop feels more like your buddies house than a shop, great music, conversations, and oh yeah amazing tattoos! In two days we talked through a piece together spent 6 hours together the first session and about 4 the next day. But here is the thing. This man, because I would only be in town this week having test run at the hospital. He and his wife rearrange their schedule with their kids so that we can make this happen. He went out of his way to help me out made me feel comfortable, jerked around worked in a cover-up When I would make a suggestion that made sense in my head he explained it to me from a tattoo artist perspective why it wouldn’t work and then gave me an alternative, which was even better. I now have 11 tattoos in one piece of art, as well as a permanent tattoo artist who I will fly to from now on to get my tattoos done. This was the most professional and fun shot. I have ever been to do yourself a favor and book an appointment.
