This is a studio with a full roster of artists working across different styles, and the word around town is that the talent runs deep.

Ask anyone who's been inked here and the conversation quickly turns to the individual artists. Desiree comes up again and again, known for custom work and for making people feel right at home while she helps them figure out exactly what they want.

Bernice has a name for going the distance, one regular talked about her staying late to get a piece just right. Virgill and Aryana get high marks too, and Electric Ed is the one folks point to for cover-ups, with a light hand and fair pricing that people appreciate. That range means whoever you book with, you're in good hands. The piercing side is just as respected. Locals will tell you to see Misty, Ann Marie, or Jaquel, all of whom get praised for patience and for walking you through the process step by step, from technique to the metal they use to proper aftercare.
