Cousin Paul's Tattoo Co.

Talent and Integrity I’ve trusted Cousin Paul’s Tattoo Company with all of my ink for nearly a decade. Gina has done incredibly fine line work for me, Melissa gave me one of my cheekiest tattoos, Avacyn is an indescribably talented artist, and Amanda Pepper’s signature style is instantly recognizable-- seen all over St. Louis and worn proudly by her clients. That said, the artist behind my masterpiece sleeve is Laura Bonfanti, the owner of Cousin Paul’s. She’s not only a phenomenal tattooer, but consistently accommodating when my schedule has changed last minute, and she operates with more integrity than any shop owner I’ve met. When I bring her an idea, she’s honest about who the best artist is for the job-- whether that person works at Cousin Paul’s or somewhere else entirely. That level of transparency is rare, and it’s why I recommend her without hesitation. Bring your ideas to Cousin Paul’s or explore what the artists are offering. You won’t be disappointed.

I recently got a tattoo from Amanda and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the moment I walked into the studio, I felt comfortable, welcomed, and completely at ease. Amanda took the time to really listen to my ideas and brought them to life in a way that far exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail, creativity, and care she put into her work is nothing short of amazing. My tattoo is not only beautifully executed, but it holds deep meaning for me—and Amanda captured that perfectly. If you’re looking for an artist who is passionate, talented, and deeply respectful of their craft, I highly recommend Amanda. I’ll definitely be returning for future pieces. This was more than just getting a tattoo—it was a truly meaningful experience.

I had a wonderful experience with Ren! The space is so cozy and clean. Very, very satisfied with my service!
