You deserve to love your tattoo.

And to love how you got it too.

Getting a tattoo is a big deal!

And if you’re not happy with how your vision turned out, or the experience you had, it will probably make you very sad. (We would be too.) Nearly 40% of the tattoos we cover up aren't even about the design. It's the experience people want to forget.

We've done over 15,000 tattoos, and our #1 priority is matching you with the right artist

Even if that artist is not at our studio. (Yes, we happily refer to other artists!)

The process

1. Tell us about your idea

This isn’t In N’ Out tattoo…we want to hear it all! What makes it special to you? 🙂

2. We’ll help to match you with an artist.

If there’s more than one that would be a good fit, you pick! 🙂 If we don’t have a good fit here, we’ll recommend locals who might be!

3. Book a free consultation

The artist will chat with you about the details - book if it's a good fit!

As always, Sydney was an absolute DREAM to work with. Everything she creates for me turns out even better than I could imagine! She's done several custom pieces for me now (and one mushroom flash) that have exceeded my expectations. Cannot wait to get my next piece done by her 😊

I got a memorial tattoo done by Kathleen Kelly. She is amazing at what she does. Took my idea and brought it to life. The shop is relaxing and comfortable and all the staff are friendly and great to talk to. I will be back!

Ruda was amazing, she made my first tattoo experience way easier than I expected and the tattoo turned out beautifully. She brought my vision to life even better than I ever imagined. Her attention to detail was incredible, and her linework and shading came out so clean.

Kat is amazing artist and an amazing person. I had a great time, and I come out with an even better tattoo. Can’t recommend enough. Lots of time and effort were put into placement and making sure everything was perfect before any ink was layed.
