Torrid Tattoos Established in 2001! Torrid tattoos has been in Princeton since 2001! an is tattooing only! Hours of operation may vary depending on scheduled work..

Where the focus is on quality, not quantity

Torrid Tattoos is also a one man operation so calling, emailing,messaging,or texting ahead before stopping in is (((strongly ))) recommended! noon to 7pm Tuesday - Saturday
sometimes in studio earlier and sometimes later and sometimes very late, and sometimes due to family obligations out early.. ultimately depends on
appointments scheduled!! But, I al

so have a family life outside of tattooing...which from time to time requires me to attend school functions, sporting games,
family functions etc.. ( which sometimes affects when I'm in the studio)
this is also why I prefer appointments! I prefer to work with people who are willing to approach, the tattoo process properly...

this includes

setting up a consultation to discuss your project,

What happens at the consultation? During the consultation, I will talk with you more in-depth about your design, possibly take a tracing to map out the size and shape for the tattoo, and look at any references that you might have. After talking if we both agree to move forward with the project then I may take a deposit and set up a future date to start the work. A cash deposit is needed to set a tattoo appointment......
which is usually $25.00 and is applied to the tattoo if all appointments are kept by the client

Hello—if you’re new here, my name is Matty.
I’ve spent the last 25 years at Torrid Tattoos simply tattooing at rates the average person can afford. I’ve never cared to be trendy on social media, and I’ve never been flashy with gimmicks or promotions.
I’ve always just kept my head down and done the best work I can. I’ve never been rich, and I never tried to be off tattooing.
I just genuinely love what I do. I’ve always put my clients before ego and max profits, and I’ve always been happy just keeping the bills paid.
So with that said—if you’re looking for glitz and glam, TikTok dancing, clever social media content, or a wizard on an iPad… I’m probably not your guy.
I’ve been creating custom tattoo designs from my clients’ ideas for 30 years using good old pencil and paper, and that’s not going to change.
If you’re new here and just looking for a solid tattoo without taking out a second mortgage to afford it, I may be more affordable than you think. I haven’t raised my rates in 25 years. That said, I do prefer appointments—drawing the old way takes time.
To my existing clients who already appreciate my work and pricing—this time of year is always slow. Soo If you’ve got work that needs finishing, or something new you’ve been wanting, now’s a good time. Bills don't stop needing paid to keep ole Matty here tattooing! so I need to keep the schedule flowing.
Thanks for reading
Cheers!
