Black & Gray Tattoos

Black and gray tattoos are the backbone of the tattoo world — timeless, versatile, and built to age well. Using only black ink diluted to various shades of gray, these pieces create stunning depth and dimension without a single drop of color.

Fine Line Tattoos

Fine line tattoos use delicate, thin needles to create intricate, detailed designs with a subtle, elegant feel. Think botanical illustrations, minimalist symbols, micro-portraits, dainty script, and ornamental patterns — all rendered with surgical precision.

Realism & Portrait Tattoos

Realism tattoos reproduce photographs, paintings, and real-life imagery directly onto skin. Portraits of loved ones, animals, landscapes, and hyper-detailed objects — when done right, they look like actual photographs embedded in your body.

Traditional Tattoos

Traditional tattoos — also called American Traditional or old school — are defined by bold black outlines, a limited but vibrant color palette, and iconic imagery: roses, eagles, anchors, daggers, pin-ups, skulls, panthers, and swallows. This style is the foundation that all modern tattooing was built on, and it has been going strong since the early 1900s when pioneers like Sailor Jerry Collins, Bert Grimm, and Cap Coleman established the visual language we still recognize instantly today.

Neo-Traditional Tattoos

Neo-traditional tattoos take the bold outlines and iconic imagery of American Traditional and crank up the detail, color range, and artistic complexity. Think traditional foundations with modern illustration techniques layered on top.

Anime & Manga Tattoos

Anime and manga tattoos bring your favorite characters, scenes, and art styles to life on skin. From Dragon Ball Z to Studio Ghibli, Naruto to One Piece, Demon Slayer to Jujutsu Kaisen — if you can dream it, we can ink it.

Watercolor Tattoos

Watercolor tattoos mimic the look of watercolor paintings — soft color washes, splashes, drips, and blends that flow across the skin like paint on canvas. They can be purely abstract or combined with black linework for structure.

Blackwork & Geometric Tattoos

Blackwork tattoos use solid black ink to create bold, graphic designs — geometric patterns, mandalas, tribal-inspired work, ornamental pieces, and large-scale black fills. It is a style that commands attention through contrast and precision.

Cover-Up Tattoos

Cover-up tattoos transform old, faded, or regretted ink into something you actually love. It is one of the most challenging skills in tattooing — the artist needs to design around the existing piece, using strategic placement, color theory, and bold technique to completely conceal what was there before.

Lettering & Script Tattoos

Lettering tattoos turn words into art — names, quotes, dates, and meaningful phrases rendered in styles ranging from elegant calligraphy to bold block letters. Getting lettering right is deceptively hard: spacing, flow, readability, and placement all have to be perfect.

💎 Piercing Styles

Ear Piercings & Curated Ears

Ear piercings go way beyond the basic lobe. The modern ear piercing landscape includes a huge variety of placements — helix, conch, tragus, daith, rook, flat, forward helix, industrial, snug, anti-tragus, and of course classic lobes.

Nose & Nostril Piercings

Nostril piercings are one of the most popular piercings we do — and for good reason. They are versatile, flattering on virtually every face shape, and offer endless jewelry options from subtle studs to statement hoops.

Septum Piercings

Septum piercings go through the thin membrane (the "sweet spot") between the cartilage and the bottom of your nose. When placed correctly in this columella — the thin strip of tissue at the front of the nasal septum — they are one of the least painful piercings and heal relatively quickly.

Lip & Labret Piercings

Lip piercings encompass a wide variety of placements around the mouth — labret (center below the lower lip), medusa (philtrum, center above the upper lip), Monroe and Madonna (off-center above the upper lip, mimicking a beauty mark), snakebites (paired piercings below the lower lip), spider bites (close-set paired piercings on one side), angel bites (paired upper lip), dahlia bites (at the corners of the mouth), and more. Each placement creates a distinct look and carries its own anatomy requirements.

Tongue Piercings

Tongue piercings are a classic body modification that has been popular for decades. The standard placement is a single barbell through the center of the tongue, positioned slightly forward of the midpoint.

Industrial & Cartilage Piercings

Cartilage piercings include a huge variety of ear placements — helix (outer rim), industrial (two points connected by one barbell), conch (the large bowl-shaped area), tragus (the small flap covering the ear canal), rook (the inner ridge above the daith), daith (the innermost cartilage fold), flat (the upper flat area of the ear), and forward helix (the front edge near the face). Each has unique anatomy requirements, a different look, and its own healing characteristics.

Dermal & Surface Piercings

Dermal piercings — also called microdermals or single-point piercings — are unique in the piercing world because they have only one visible point on the skin surface. Unlike traditional piercings that have an entry and exit point, a dermal piercing uses a small anchor that sits beneath the skin with a single decorative top visible on the surface.
