Mara Velez, fictional tattoo artist

Blackwork · Ornamental

Mara Velez

Heavy black, clean geometry, ornamental work, and designs that will absolutely not fit into the postage-stamp-sized space you suggested.

Eli Mercer, fictional tattoo artist

Traditional · Color

Eli Mercer

Bold lines, shameless color, classics that age well, and a respectful amount of skepticism toward whatever TikTok told you yesterday.

June Park, fictional tattoo artist

Fine line · Botanical

June Park

Fine line, botanical work, delicate details, and an extraordinary ability to explain why eight words cannot remain readable at six millimeters wide.

Roman Vale, fictional tattoo artist

Japanese · Large scale

Roman Vale

Large compositions, Japanese-inspired work, sleeves, backs, and projects requiring considerably more commitment than "maybe something tiny."

Before you come in

A few tiny requests.

01

Eat something.

Coffee and confidence are not breakfast.

02

Bring ID.

"My mom knows I'm 18" is not government-issued.

03

Show up sober.

Liquid courage is not part of the booking process.

04

Wear useful clothes.

We need to reach the place you're asking us to tattoo.

FOREVER IS A WHILE

So.

What are we putting on you forever?

Tell us what you want, where you want it, which artist you're interested in, and approximately how many screenshots you've collected.
