YOUR CONCEPT. THEIR CRAFT.Start a larger custom piece with a phone consultation
For larger or custom tattoos call the studio to request a consultation so staff can discuss placement, size and your idea before scheduling an appointment; the shop does not list online booking for consultations.
According to the brand, accurate pricing depends on size, detail, placement and session duration, so the free phone or in-person consultation is the recommended route to obtain a project estimate.
Choosing between the flagship street studio and the mall location
Blackwater Ink lists a flagship street address at 815 Youngstown Warren Rd, Niles 44446 and also operates an Eastwood Mall studio; clients who prefer walk-ins for smaller tattoos and piercings should visit the mall location.
