How to start a project at this location

Appointments at this studio are handled by contacting each artist directly by email as listed by the shop; use those artist contacts to propose design ideas, availability and any reference images you want them to review before scheduling.

If you prefer meeting in person first, the shop accepts walk-ins and consults Wednesday through Sunday between 12pm and 5pm when artists are available for in-person discussions and preliminary looks at potential projects.

Styles, artists and in-shop details to weigh

The listing identifies specialisms including black and grey realism, traditional, illustrative and pop culture tattoos, and names artists associated with those approaches so you can target which artist to contact for your preferred style.

The shop notes a mascot named Dozer, a pitbull lab mix, who greets clients during walk-ins; consider this when planning an in-person visit if animal presence is relevant to your comfort or access needs.
