Last year we were contacted by an out of state visitor wanting a simpler tattoo of tree ring. We came up with a great way to represent that for her. With the atmosphere of the shop, the care put into her tattoo, and overall experience lead her to wanting to reach out again for another unique piece. She wanted a section of old world Chicago bricks from a picture she had (deep meaning for her as were the tree rings). The fact that any artist in Chicago could have done this for her but she was drawn to us and expressed that heavily, made it a huge honor and compliment for an artist!
Thank you for making the trip for your tattoo and to see us!

It’s really cool when you tattoo the parents for years and when their kid turns 18 they come to you! Simple but nevertheless important!

Hippie Butter is back in stock! Our favorite multi-purpose skin care and healing balm is back in stock now that dandelion season is upon us. Dandelion infused oil is the base for this miracle balm. Dandelions are harvested locally from private land not exposed to herbicide or pesticide. Makes an excellent aftercare for tattoos too!
