Perfect Placement

Where should I place my tattoo?

Do you want to see it all the time? Do you want others to see it? Does your design require a flat surface? Are you going to add to it over time?

These are just some questions we'll be asking you when you come in for your consultation. We will work with you to help you refine your idea, select an artist, and help you pick the perfect spot on your body.

Competitive Pricing

How much do tattoos cost?

Good tattoos aren't cheap and you don't want to be cheap with your body. Tattoo cover ups are not always possible and Tattoo Removal can be very costly so you want to do it right.

Tell us your idea and we can give you an estimate on how long your tattoo will take and how much your custom tattoo will cost. Come into one of our studio locations for a walk-in tattoo consultation and we can work through the process with you.

We believe your tattoo can be whatever you want it to be.

It can have meaning or it can just be for fashion. As long as it makes you happy, that's all that matters.

Our Manifesto

We believe in one of a kind custom tattoos.

We don't believe that a tattoo defines who you are. Only your actions can do that.

We don't think you can become a better or worse person because of your tattoo(s), and anyone who judges you based on your tattoo(s) need to broaden their horizons.

We believe that all styles of tattoo art are equally beautiful.

We believe that being a tattoo artist is the best job we can have and we wouldn't trade it for anything. Many of us would be lost without tattoos.

We believe this privilege of being a tattoo artist should be shared, not owned.

We believe that the wonderful life that tattooing offers should be shared with the world. That's why we have an open studio where people can learn freely and we don't make our apprentices “shop bitches”.

We believe we have the best crew in the game.

We make decisions based on the people who work with us.

We never force an artist to do a style they are not comfortable with, nor do we do tattoos we don't think we can do well.

We believe your tattoo can be whatever you want it to be. It can have meaning or it can just be for fashion. As long as it makes you happy, that's all that matters.

We believe that we have an obligation to help young people find their way. We believe that the arts have long been undermined as a viable career by previous generations and institutions. Please see how you can help tomorrow's entrepreneur through our Find Your Way Fund.

We hope that the way we hire and the freedom we offer our artists can inspire the world to be less judgemental, open-minded, and inclusive. You can be a good human being and be successful.
