✨ We’re so excited to officially introduce Sydney Rose as the newest artist at The Inksmith & Co.! 🖤

Sydney went to school with us, and bringing her into the shop rounds out an incredible trio. All three of us share a deep passion for growing in our craft, respecting the rich history of tattooing, and bringing fresh, high-quality artistry to the industry. As mothers, we also bring a level of care, compassion, and genuine respect into our space that we can’t wait for you to experience.

Driven by a love for authentic, human-crafted art, Sydney is an insanely versatile tattooer who enjoys everything from script, botanical, and color pieces to Japanese, watercolor, American Traditional, and gothic styles. Whether you want something bold or intricate, she’s down for all kinds of projects and ready to make some rad art you’ll cherish forever.

Show Sydney some real love, throw her a follow, and get on her schedule—her books are OPEN!

A tattoo shop shouldn’t feel like a high-volume factory floor or a cold, corporate box. It should feel like a place you actually want to hang out in.

At The Inksmith & Co., we’ve intentionally cultivated a studio where the vibe is warm, creative, and completely ego-free. Whether we’re collaborating on custom designs behind the desk, talking shop over a fresh espresso pull, or just hanging out between sessions, community always comes first.

Nested right here in Prineville, we’ve built a space where both our clients and artists can actually enjoy the pace of life:

• An Authentic Community: A supportive, ego-free crew that hypes each other up, bounces ideas around, and keeps the art moving forward.

• The Perfect Spot: Tucked right in the heart of town with awesome local food and coffee, golf, great parks, and the library right kitty-corner—surrounded by world-class hiking, fishing, and Central Oregon views.

• Client-First Hospitality: From local café-grade coffee and snacks to a relaxed, welcoming environment where nobody ever feels rushed or intimidated.

Big love to everyone who walks through these doors and makes this shop what it is.

If you haven’t stopped by the studio yet, come sit down, grab a coffee, and let’s talk about your next piece. ☕️✨

Now Hiring: Tattoo Artists at The Inksmith & Co. ✍️

(DM us or hit the link in bio to join a shop built on real artistic integrity!)

Tattooing is, and always will be, rooted in the sacred craft of painting and drawing.

Lately, we’ve noticed a wild shift in the industry—where even local tattoo schools are actively teaching students to rely on AI tools instead of teaching them how to build, draw, and refine their own creative vision. While technology has its place in business and workflow, we firmly believe it shouldn’t replace basic human artistry, line weight, and artistic intent.

To us, being a tattoo artist means understanding composition, contrast, flow, and how art actually sits on human skin. It’s about expression and creativity.

At The Inksmith & Co., art isn’t an afterthought—it’s our entire foundation:

• We draw our own work. No copy-pasting, no shortcut-generated flash.

• We challenge each other. Our studio is stocked with drawing desks, paints, skateboards, fine-liners, and sketchbooks so we can keep growing together.

• We offer clients custom work. Real art tailored specifically to their bodies, built with thought, passion, and intent.

• We educate & honor our clients. When someone brings in a Pinterest or generated idea, we take the time to guide them toward a design that wears better on skin. But at the end of the day, client vision always comes first—our heart just belongs to the hand-drawn process.

If you’re a licensed artist who still believes in the craft, loves drawing with a community of like-minded creatives, and wants a supportive studio space to call home... we want to talk to you.

📩 Shoot us a DM, email us, or fill out our tattoo artist inquiry form in our bio to set up a chat.

Let’s keep the art in tattooing.

NOW HIRING: Fueling the Craft (Yes, We Take our Tattoos and our Coffee Seriously - DM if you do too) ☕️✨

When we say we build a comfortable home experience for our artists and clients, we mean it—starting right in the shop kitchen.

Forget stale Folgers or cheap cups/pods. We keep our studio stocked like a local café:

Italian Espresso Machine: Shop-quality lattes, Americanos, macchiatos, and proper shots on demand.

Local Beans & Syrups: Supporting our local roasters and keeping the good stuff in rotation.

All the Brew Methods: French press, classic drip, cold options—whatever gets you through a long session.

Fully Stocked Snacks: A mix of healthy fuel and treat-yourself snacks so neither you nor your client ever hit a wall mid-tattoo.

We believe that great art happens when you actually enjoy being in the space you work in. If you’re an artist looking for a studio that treats you—and your clients—like family, we’d love to chat.

📩 Ready to join our crew?
Shoot us a DM, email [email protected], or fill out the application, linked in our bio with your portfolio and a quick intro.

Let’s sit down and brew something up. ☕️

We’re expanding our home. 🧵👇

We are officially looking for a licensed tattoo artist to join our collaborative collective right here in the heart of Prineville.

When we built this studio, we didn’t want to create just another standard tattoo shop. We set out to build a true art collective—a safe, supportive, home-like environment where artists, clients, and community alike feel completely welcome.

We value building a real art community, mastering our craft with intensity, and delivering customer service that goes above and beyond everything else.

This beautiful, bright booth space is officially open and ready for the right person to make it their own. If you are an independent professional who values growth, collaboration, and a premium client experience, you’ll fit right in.

What we offer:
🎨A supportive, drama-free collective of passionate artists.

🪷A high-end, comfortable, and uniquely curated space in downtown Prineville.

📈 Branding & Marketing Support: As the owner, Mary Buell | Tattoo Artist brings degrees and 15 years of professional marketing/advertising experience to the table, having worked with major names like Microsoft, Travel Oregon, and professional soccer teams like the Portland Timbers and Thorns. She used her data and strategy expertise to make our studio the #1 searchable shop in Central Oregon within just a few months of opening.

📆When you join us, you get regular, dedicated meetings and an active resource to completely dial in your personal branding, SEO, client acquisition, and tattoo continuing education.

We don’t just hand you a set of keys—we invest heavily in your actual career growth.

Let’s build something legacy-worthy together. To apply, send over a brief introduction and a link to your portfolio via DM or email. ✨
