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 will my  tattoo cost?

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

Tell us your idea and we can give you an estimate on how much time and money you'll need for your custom tattoo.

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.
