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.

A great overall experience! Dan worked great with me and my idea and turned it into art. The overall environment he provides is great and comfortable. Conversations are ongoing and artwork is even better! Definitely recommend and will be getting more work in the future later.

Awesome experience! Shop was very clean and welcoming. I waited 20 years to get my first tattoo and I couldn't be happier with the outcome! I'm already scheduling my next appointment for my second tattoo with Dan at Hell Fire Studio!
