Custom Tattoos in NYC
Walk-In, view designs, & Book Now

Queer-owned. Artist-driven. No ego, no attitude–just damn good tattoos in a safe, inclusive space.

Whether you’re after bold blackwork, crisp fine line lettering, fluid watercolor gradients, intricate geometric patterns, neotraditional color pieces, ornamental dot work, soft illustrative florals, or realistic portrait tattoos, our team has an artist who specializes in exactly your style.

HOW IT WORKS

STEP 1: BOOK

Choose your artist or select “first available” for walk-ins. We offer fine-line, blackwork, custom flash tattoos, and more.

STEP 2: DESIGN

Work directly with our artists to create a unique design that speaks to you. Sometimes, if everything’s set, we can even tattoo you on the spot! But if your design needs more drawing time due to complexity or size, we’ll schedule a follow up for the tattoo session.

STEP 3: TATTOO

When it’s tattoo day, all you need to do is relax and get ready for a great experience. Come in and let our expert artists bring your vision to life. We’ll guide you through aftercare to ensure perfect healing.
