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.

Amazing shop! Got this bad boy done by BeeJay (BJ) 10/10 coming here again! I love their sphinx cat so cute. Great vibes and great conversation with the artist
Lindsey was so nice and made such a safe space. She took my notes and combined them with her own to create a beautiful piece. Very sweet and easy to talk too. Made a bad day a good one. I’m very excited to get more pieces done by her in the future.
I had the best experience getting my tattoo done by Lindsey (lindz_ink on Instagram) ! She is not only an incredibly talented artist, but also such a fun and kind person to spend time with during the session. She made the whole process comfortable and enjoyable, and her attention to detail blew me away. The tattoo itself turned out even better than I imagined. The colors, shading, and design are stunning. Lindsey really brought my idea to life and made it something I’ll be proud to carry forever. If you’re looking for an artist who truly cares about their work and their clients, Lindsey is the one. I can’t recommend her enough 💕
