Interested in booking an appointment? This is an adult access only page. We make art, we post art. If you find anything we post offensive, please just unlike us. We won't take it personally! How to book appointments...Yay!!! SO YOU WANT TO GET A TATTOO HERE! SWEET!
​HERE'S HOW TO DO IT:

We do not book appointments online. We ask that you peruse our artists' portfolios, choose the artist whose wo

rk you feel moved by. Call the studio to set up a consultation appointment. At that time you'll have 15 or 20 minutes to sit down with that artist to discuss your piece. You'll also book your actual tattoo appointment at the time of the consultation. A deposit is required to book any tattoo time. Our artists stay booked, so they won't be able to draw without a tattoo appointment in place.

Here are a few things Wulph has been working on, and some one-offs she’d love to do.

She’s a genius at cover ups and tattoo restoration, but she also creates gorgeous designs for clean slates, as well!

While she does specialize in color on dark skin, if you are melanin deficient, fret not! Her bold color looks gorgeous on light complexions, too.

She books out pretty far, but generally has time here and there for consultations.
Tap the link in our bio to book time to discuss your tattoo dreams and desires.
She’ll bring your ideas to gorgeous fruition.

Ivy’s apprenticeship is coming along even better than we hoped (and we had very high hopes)! She’s learning so quickly under the watchful eye of Vanessa with lots of help from Wulph and Meredith (and several generous guests).

We haven’t seen drive and dedication like this in a long, long time. We see how hard you’re working Ivy-Jade Edwards !!

She’s got a lot of really great designs available, adding more weekly. She’s also taking on smaller custom projects.

Tap the link in our bio or DM her to book.

Oh, she’s also considering fun mural projects.

Here are a few of the tattoos Vanessa’s done recently!

She loves doing all these floral pieces, but she’d also really love to do some more old school designs (unicorns and wizards!) and more light hearted designs!

Bring her an idea that makes her laugh, and you’ll get $50 off the tattoo!

Attn: folks who menstruate!

07/23/2026

This is the most up to date list of businesses that are part of the Buycott Business Group.
Please get out and support these folks. They are standing up and speaking out against the occupation of our city at the risk of harassment and backlash.
(we see and love you Da Sammich Spot and Tamboli’s Pasta & Pizza )

For the businesses who are afraid to join, please reconsider. There is strength in numbers.

Pop over to Free the 901 to take the pledge or to see the list of businesses who have taken the pledge (and businesses who are giving discounts to occupiers, gross).

To everyone who can, please support these businesses. If you spend money with them, send us a photo of your receipt and we’ll enter you in a drawing.
Once a month we’ll draw a name. The winner will get a $100 tattoo gift card.

Join us!
