Our artists don't just do one thing — but they each have a specialty. Tell us what you're after and we'll match you with the right person.
Traditional
Bold outlines, classic palette, built to last. American Traditional is timeless for a reason — the imagery holds up for decades.
Black & Grey
Depth, dimension, and detail without color. Our black and grey work ranges from photorealistic portraits to illustrative fine art.
Fine Line
Precise, delicate, and detailed. Fine line tattooing demands a steady hand and the right needle — we have both.
Color
Saturated, vibrant, alive on the skin. Color tattooing requires technical mastery — our artists understand how color ages and apply that knowledge to every piece.
Japanese
Rich tradition, bold composition, flowing design. Japanese tattooing is one of the most demanding styles to execute well. We do it well.
Cover-Ups
Don't live with a tattoo you hate. We assess the existing work and design something that transforms it — not just masks it.

Common Questions
Yes. Walk-ins are welcome every day we're open — Mon–Thu 12–7PM and Fri–Sat 12–8PM. For larger or more complex pieces, calling ahead is a good idea to confirm artist availability, but for flash and smaller custom work, just come in.
Pricing depends on size, placement, detail, and time. Small flash pieces start around $80–$120. Custom work is quoted per project after a consultation — which is always free. We're upfront about pricing before anything starts.
