Custom Tattoos

Every tattoo begins with a conversation. Whether you bring an image, a sketch, or just an idea, our artists collaborate with you to refine the concept and design a piece that fits your body’s shape and your story.



We’ll help you decide on size, style, and placement to make sure your tattoo complements your features and ages gracefully. You can book ahead for large projects or walk in for smaller designs—our artists handle both with the same level of care.

Traditional Tattoos

Bold lines, strong colors, and classic imagery define our traditional tattoos. From nautical designs to pin-ups and Americana symbols, we honor the legacy of tattoo culture while giving each piece a modern touch.



Traditional tattoos are timeless, and our artists ensure the lines are crisp, the colors stay vibrant, and the design holds up for decades.

Fine Line Tattoos

If you prefer clean, delicate detail, our fine line tattoos are designed with precision and subtlety. Using a single needle or small configurations, these tattoos are ideal for names, symbols, minimalist designs, and detailed outlines.


Our artists guide clients on size and placement to ensure fine line tattoos remain clear and legible over time.

Black & Grey Tattoos

Our black and grey tattoos use a blend of shading, gradient, and contrast to create depth and realism. From portraits to religious art to natural imagery, these tattoos carry sophistication and timelessness.



We carefully blend tones for smooth transitions and clear visibility. Every black and grey tattoo is customized to your skin tone and aesthetic preference.

Color Tattoos

If you want your tattoo to stand out, our artists specialize in vibrant color work. Using top-quality pigments, we create designs that pop while maintaining balance and flow.



From full sleeves to colorful micro tattoos, our color tattoos are saturated evenly to ensure long-lasting brightness with proper aftercare.

Minimalist and Micro Tattoos

For subtle, refined body art, our minimalist and micro tattoos are small in scale but big in meaning. These tattoos are perfect for first-timers, professionals who prefer discreet pieces, or anyone who appreciates simplicity.



Our artists use fine needles and gentle techniques to achieve precise results that heal cleanly and retain sharp detail.

Cover-Ups and Reworks

If you have an older tattoo that needs updating or covering, we can help. Our artists analyze your existing piece and develop a strategy to transform it into something you love. We’ll be honest about what’s possible and suggest designs that will achieve full coverage and balance.
