On this day in 2004, Justan (Sharpie) started his tattoo career after being a piercer for a year. 22 years later, tons of amazing clientele and an innumerable amount of amazing artists have been met !

Too many fun, awesome tattoos to post all of my his favorites, but there has been a lifetime of badass pieces and even better people!

A huge thank you to all of his supporters, fans, and friends that have been here during this journey!

Here's to another 20+ years!

Just a friendly reminder to all of our customers, we require a deposit to book any tattoo appointment. This guarantees your spot and allows the artist to get your design ready before the appointment, without a deposit no drawings will be done or sent to you. We do accept walk ins every day as well if you don't want to set an appointment!
