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.
The brand advertises more than a dozen tattoo styles, from black and grey realism and American traditional to fine line, Japanese sleeves and color anime, which can help you decide which artist to discuss during your consultation.
