Style is a mixture between American traditional, neo-trad, and illustrative. Dani loves to tattoo botanicals/florals, animals, insects, ladies, and anime/manga. Dani works in both color and black & grey.

Annabelle loves to tattoo anything with plants, flowers, bugs, ladies, faces or American Traditional inspired, but is generally open to work with whatever your idea is! Annabelle prefers to work in black and grey, but will also happily tattoo in color.
FAQs
-
There is a small 4-5 car parking lot to the right of the orange building with yellow and blue roses which is to the right of our building that you’re welcome to park in. Please note does say parking for Postmark Books only, but it is a shared lot! If there’s no space there, you’ll want to park in the town municipal parking lot or on the street. (The municipal lot is a short walk away, let us know if this is a problem and we can make sure there’s a spot close by for you).
-
The most important thing to do before getting tattooed is eat a full meal! Make sure to stay hydrated the week leading up to the tattoo, moisturize the area you plan on getting tattooed once a day for a few days leading up to the appointment. Don’t worry about shaving as we’ll always shave the area before tattooing.
-
Walk-ins are cash only. We accept cards for appointments, but cash is always preferred. Card payments will have a small service fee, keep that in mind when paying with card.

Hover over the name of the artist you’d like to work with on the top of the page & select ‘Book with (Artist)’ OR click on ‘Contact’ and fill out the form from there. Once the form is submitted the artist will get back to you (usually within a week) about setting up an appointment. You can contact each artist directly through email or email the studio email for general inquiries if you`re not looking for a specific artist.
-
Yes, you can absolutely bring a friend. Give us a heads up they’ll be with you and we can have a seat ready for them! We ask that you only bring one person as several extra people in the space can get a bit crowded.
-
We accept walk-ins on Sundays or designated flash days only. Walk in on Sunday and we`d love to tattoo our flash, simple custom designs 4” or smaller, or our Get What You Get flash designs. The shop minimum is $100, so no tattoos will be done for less than $100 unless stated otherwise. To ensure a time with an artist we recommend you make an appointment as an artist may not be available when you walk in. Please understand that walk in tattoos will be done in the artists style and they may refuse any tattoo.
-
Limit your caffeine intake the morning of getting a tattoo because caffeine can act like a blood thinner. Please try not to come in hungover, alcohol can also be a blood thinner and getting tattooed while hungover is not ideal. If you’re taking a medication that is a blood thinner or antibiotics for any reason, it would be best to wait and consult with a doctor before getting tattooed.
-
Of course! You’re welcome to use our bathroom at any point, how ever many times during an appointment. Please never be afraid to stop us and ask!
-
The cost of tattoos depends on several things such as the size, detail, placement, and artist doing your tattoo. Reach out to an artist directly, fill out a booking request form, or email the studio to discuss pricing. Our price minimum is $100 so tattoos will not be done for less than that.
-
Neither of us are comfortable tattooing designs from other artists, nor do we want our designs brought to other people. We will happily use pictures as reference and make something inspired by or similar to the design you like. We do not copy designs from online (this excludes super simple things such as a peace sign, hearts, symbols, etc). We are open to tattooing designs drawn by you or a friend/family member, though we may want to make alterations for the design to be more ideal for tattooing. Each artist has their own boundaries and may say no to a design if they don’t feel comfortable tattooing it.
-
Tips are never required, but are always appreciated. We make sure to price our work appropriately to where a tip is not needed or expected. If you want to tip, we encourage you to tip whatever you feel comfortable with based on your experience with us. We always accept non-monetary tips such as your own artwork, baked goods (Dani is vegan), crafts, produce, clothing, etc. Getting a sweet gift that you put thought or care into is always cherished.

Email the artist directly to set up a consultation. You can also walk in on Sunday and if an artist is available, they would be happy to give you a consultation.

Your artist will go over aftercare with you and offer a paper version of the instructions to take home. General instructions are to wash your tattoo at least twice a day with unscented antibacterial soap, and use unscented dye free lotion, coconut oil, or something like Hustle Butter when your tattoo is feeling dry. Do not use ointment and don’t over moisturize. Reach out if you have further questions!

Tattoos are a serious procedure and can cause a lot of trauma to your skin. Everyone's bodies will heal and react differently. Healing isn't always smooth-sailing, and that's perfectly okay! We understand how concerning it can be, especially if this is your very first time experiencing it. We usually recommend taking it easy for the next couple days and resting up when you get bigger pieces done. Getting a large piece in full color all in one go will cause your skin the most trauma so it will take a bit longer to heal and has a more likely chance of causing issues during healing. That's why splitting large pieces up into sessions is usually advised. If any fall out or fading occurs, we can always do a touch-up. We know how scary and ugly healing can look, but please contact us first if there is any other concern. Your tattoo artist will give you advice on what to do if you run into any issues and they will let you know if the problem requires medical attention.
