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.
- 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.

I was hesitant for years before finally deciding to get my first tattoo. This place convinced me to take the plunge. I worked with Eric, a talented artist with a unique style. He created several variations of my initial idea, and we proceeded with the design. Eric’s meticulous attention to detail and follow-up made the entire process feel effortless. The tattoo shop itself is an amazing and inviting environment, which is truly commendable. I’m already planning my next tattoo with Eric.
If you’re looking to support a small business as well as local artists, I couldn’t recommend this shop enough!! The receptionist was super kind and friendly. Also, George is so incredibly talented and his energy is very calming, definitely helped ease my nerves. Overall, couldn’t have asked for a better first tattoo experience :)
Me and my partner have gotten tattooed by @lunatattooss (charlotte/luna) twice and have had a fantastic experience each time. She is extremely communicative, queer friendly, and truly cares about her clients. Each time she has offered numbing cream for sensitive spots. She also truly cares about the quality of your tattoo, double checking and stretching the skin to make sure it’s fully saturated and perfectly tattooed. She also offers touch ups for her tattoos once they heal!! We can’t wait to come back for more!
