Custom work, flash, blackwork, traditional, fine line, ornamental, color, and large-scale projects.

The Studio
Bad Decisions, Good Tattoos is built around a simple idea: tattoo and piercing studios can have personality without making clients feel like they accidentally walked into a private club they were not cool enough to join.
We care about strong design, appropriate placement, clean execution, honest advice, professional hygiene, and making sure clients understand what they are signing up for before anything permanent happens.
Meet the artistsYou don't need to know tattoo vocabulary.
You just need to tell us what you like.Our extremely complicated four-part business plan.
Reference images are welcome. Direct copies of another artist's tattoo are not the goal. We use references to understand direction, then build something appropriate for you.
If a design is too small, a placement is fighting the anatomy, or an idea needs more room to work, we will tell you before the needle does.
Professional procedures, careful preparation, clean workspaces, appropriate materials, and clear aftercare are part of the service, not optional upgrades.
First tattoo or fiftieth, tiny design or full back piece: you deserve clear communication and a studio environment where questions are welcome.
Four artists. Four specialties. One shared inability to stop buying more art supplies.
Blackwork / Ornamental
Bold blackwork, ornamental compositions, geometry, botanical influence, and tattoos designed around the body instead of fighting against it.
Meet Mara
Traditional / Color
Heavy lines, bold color, classic tattoo imagery, and designs with enough visual confidence to survive whatever trend happens next.
Meet Eli
Fine Line / Botanical
Fine-line illustration, botanicals, restrained ornamental work, careful placement, and enough precision to make everyone else nervous.
Meet June
Japanese / Large Scale
Large-scale Japanese-inspired compositions, sleeves, back pieces, strong movement, and projects requiring slightly more planning than "Can we finish this before dinner?"
Meet RomanExtremely advanced instructions for successfully entering a tattoo studio.
Tell us what you want, what you dislike, what matters most, and what you are uncertain about. Mind reading remains unavailable.
Arrive when scheduled and let the studio know as early as possible if something changes.
Eat, hydrate, bring valid ID, wear useful clothing, and arrive sober for tattoo and piercing appointments.
Placement, healing, jewelry, design changes, pain, scheduling, pricing: ask before guessing. Questions are considerably cheaper than regret.
Nervous? Completely normal.
We do this every day. You don't have to.Your turn.
Send us your idea, placement, approximate size, reference images, and preferred artist. If you have no idea which artist fits the project, that is also useful information.
