Delicate single-needle work that heals clean. Known for florals and tiny, precise lettering.

Five resident artists, one private studio on Augusta Ave. Fine line, blackwork, traditional and realism — every piece drawn from scratch.
We only tattoo what we *drew for you.* No rushed walk-ins, no copied Pinterest pieces — just a sketch, a conversation, and a tattoo that still looks right *in thirty years.*
Healed and fresh pieces from the last few months. Tap any photo to see it larger.












Each artist keeps their own books. Open books mean you can request a date this season.
