Custom Tattoos in NYC
Walk-In or Book Now
Queer-owned. Artist-driven. No ego, no attitude–just damn good tattoos in a safe, inclusive space.
HOW IT WORKS
STEP 1: BOOK
Choose your artist or select “first available” for walk-ins. We offer fine-line, blackwork, and custom flash tattoos.
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, relax, and let our expert artists bring your vision to life. We’ll guide you through aftercare to ensure perfect healing.
