Custom Tattoos

Tattooing is an art form and form of body modification where a pigment is inserted into a skin to change its color permanently. It is a very old tradition and today is more popular and socially acceptable than ever. They were marks of pride, class, beauty, shame and methods of healing. Today, people still wear tattoos but as a way of self-expression

Our goal is to provide our clients with the highest quality tattoos, in a relaxed, friendly, and safe setting. We go out of the way to stay on the cutting edge of tattooing technology, from the equipment and pigments used, to the processes used to apply them.

Whether you are looking for color or black and grey, traditional or new school, cartoons or photo-realism, cover-ups or reworks, we strive to make sure that you get the tattoo you want.

Tattoo Removal

No one thinks at the time they are getting a new tattoo, “I’m going to regret this someday,” but inevitably, sometimes people do. We offer tattoo removal services should you have a change of situation or a change of heart. We can also correct tattoos should you have had a bad experience in the past or completely cover an old tattoo with a new.

 

We look forward to serving you and your future tattoo needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are tattoos safe?

We pride ourselves on following all recommended safety precautions and using state of the art equipment an inks in our practice. You will be asked about your health history. Be honest in your response!  We’re excited to provide you with a new tattoo, but we want to ensure your safety before committing to the service.

Does it hurt?

Yes, there is some pain involved in getting a tattoo, but that pain in is manageable.

How much does it cost to get a tattoo?

You know the old adage “you get what you pay for.” Your tattoo is a piece of art you will wear for a lifetime. Size and complexity of the tattoo will influence the price. Schedule a consultation with us to discuss the price of your tattoo.

Should I tip my tattoo artist?

There is no solid ground rules for tipping, but if you are happy with the service provided by your artist, tipping is appreciated.

What should I get? And where?

We encourage you to give serious thought to these questions. You can get whatever you want, and whatever your artist is willing to do. When considering the location of your tattoo, keep in mind what you do for work the social circles you are in. Tattoos are far more socially acceptable than in times past, but you still might want to consider placing your tattoo where it can be comfortably concealed should there be a reason for you to do so.

Is it OK to get a tattoo if I'm sick?

Do not subject your body (or your tattoo artist) to abuse if you are feeling under the weather. You should only come in for a tattoo when you are 100% healthy so your body has the strength it needs to heal your new art.

Where can I find inspiration?

Inspiration is everywhere! We have examples you can look through but don’t limit yourself to that. Bring in examples of imagery you like and have one of our artists create a custom design for you.

How will tanning affect my tattoo?

You know tanning is bad for skin health but it’s also bad for your tattoo. UV rays dull and fade the ink used in your tattoo. Protect your tattooed skin just as you do the rest of your body – with an appropriate SPF.

Can I shave an area that I've just tattooed?

Eventually, yes, but you must first allow your skin to fully heal which can take several months.

Are tattoo kits safe?

These days you can buy just about anything on the internet, including tattoo kits. Tattooing is a profession that requires training, practice and skill.  Do not risk your health to an artist without professional-grade equipment and professional training.
