What we do

Custom work, clean lines

Fine line, black-and-grey, color, cover-ups — bring a finished design or a rough idea and we'll draw it up with you before anything is final.

Custom Tattoo Design

Original designs drawn for the person wearing them, with guidance on placement, size, and flow so the piece still reads well years from now.

Japanese Tattoos

Japanese-style work, one of the studio's stated specialties, from single motifs to larger planned pieces.

Fineline Tattoos

Fineline work for small, detailed designs, with honest advice on how fine lines age and where they hold up best.

Traditional Tattoos

Traditional-style tattoos with the bold lines and solid color the style is built on.

Walk-In Tattoos

Walk-ins are welcome at the studio, a practical route for smaller pieces when an artist has time that day.

Tattoo Consultations

A conversation before the needle: bring a description of your idea and any artist preference, and the studio will route you to the right artist.

Questions people actually ask

How much will my tattoo cost?+

It depends on size, detail, and placement. Tell us the idea and we'll give you a real number after a quick consult — no surprises at the register.

Do I need an appointment, or do you take walk-ins?+

Appointments are the sure way to get the artist you want. Walk-ins are welcome when a chair is open — call ahead and we'll tell you honestly.

Do you do custom designs and cover-ups?+

Custom work is the heart of the studio. Bring reference photos, a sketch, or just words. For cover-ups, we'll look at what you've got and tell you straight what's possible.

What should I do before and after my appointment?+

Show up rested, fed, and sober — and bring your ID. You'll leave with aftercare instructions; follow them, keep it clean and moisturized, and it heals right.

Your First Tattoo in Charlotte: From First Idea to Fully Healed

The needle time is the shortest part of a first tattoo. The idea, the artist match, and the healing do more to decide how it turns out.
