Our Artists and Piercers

Our team comprises eight talented tattoo artists and two experienced piercers, each with a unique style and a passion for their craft. Collectively, they bring over 60 years of experience to the studio, ensuring you receive artwork and piercing services of the highest quality. Whether you're looking for a bold and intricate piece or a subtle and delicate design, our artists can create a custom tattoo that reflects your individual personality and vision. Our piercers are equally adept at providing safe and expertly executed piercings, guiding you through the process with care and attention to detail.

We pride ourselves on our diverse range of artistic styles, encompassing everything from traditional and neo-traditional to realism, illustrative, Japanese, and more. From bold and colorful to minimalistic and subtle, our artists can bring your ideas to life in stunning detail. We also specialize in tattoo cover-ups and non-laser tattoo removal, providing solutions for clients looking to refresh or remove existing tattoos.

Creating a Community

Our studio is more than just a place to get tattooed or pierced - it's a community where art enthusiasts, ink lovers, and aspiring artists can connect. We believe in fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing their passion for body art.

We actively seek out experienced artists to join our team, both as full-time employees and guest artists. This continuous influx of talent allows us to offer a wide range of styles and perspectives within our studio, enriching the creative atmosphere and ensuring our clients have access to the best possible artists.
