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.

You know Vanessa as a fabulous illustrative tattooer who works in mostly black, and she is that, for sure. But what you might not know is that Vanessa is an insanely versatile artist. She does beautiful color work, in varying styles.

Lately she’s been reaching back to her traditional roots, making designs inspired by the early 90s styles she cut her teeth on, but bringing her nearly 20 years of experience along for the ride.

If you are a fan of Ralph Bakshi’s animation style (the original L.O.T.R., American Pop, Wizards), or the tattoo styles of Judy Parker, Rand Johnson or Spider Murphy, and would like some gorgeous tattoos
reminiscent of those bold beautiful designs, but through the lens of a forward thinking Q***r leftist, Vanessa would love to make something happen for you!
