You're probably not going to get a walk in tattoo done here, but walk in to talk to or consult with an artist ahead of time to be sure. The shop itself is in a good location with a decent amount of parking, and inside it is inspiring. There are lots of plants and beautiful art. It is body-positive and woman-positive with more than one woman tattoo artist in residence. The tattoo work areas are separated with short walls and actual doors so privacy is controlled. It also allows each artist to have her own space full of the energy she wants. This part of the shop's design really adds to the experience of being worked on there. It allows the creative energy to bubble around without feeling intrusive or exposed while being worked on. It can also shift during a session - door open or closed. I have two fairly large, artist-original pieces done by Autum McCallister (Lethal Lady). Her work is magical! You can find it on Instagram or Facebook, or stop in to see her. She also does commission pieces (your design). Autum's eye for color, shape, and layout makes for truly gorgeous body art. When I have requested (small) changes to a design, she is thoughtful and takes her time to work through what will work well with the piece and fits with what I like. She'll also make some changes as she works and sees the piece come to life on your body. To top it off, she has a great sense of humor, and we have fun conversations with a lot of laughter. Though I haven't worked with any other artists at this shop, I have listened to them work and seen some of it. Stop in with your idea, and whoever you talk to will either be a good choice or tell you who the right person for your piece would be.

Had a hell of a time trying to find someone willing to do my sternum tattoo. After some research, I…read morefound Brian (aka. Madsonb on IG) on IG and decided to give him a try. Believe me when I tell you that I was nervous as hell going outside my regular guy, but he would not do my sternum, so I had to find someone else. I sent Brian a few ideas that I liked and told him to use those for inspiration- I wanted the artists true work and always give my artist free range to play with my concept. Brian came up with a lotus flower idea and added some details that i liked, and he came up with something that matched my energy and meaning behind the tattoo. The sternum is not an easy tattoo to sit through, but he did his best to distract me and keep me on the table as long as possible- got it done in 2 sessions with his help. Prices are very reasonable & Brians personality and energy was amazing. Go check him out on IG and consider him for your next piece!

If I could give negative stars, I would. I went in on a…read morefriday night after work looking to get my left nostril pierced. I figured it was a piercing, and the reviews were okay so why not? I went in, and it was what seemed to be just the owner and an apprentice. Before the piercing, he asked if I wanted the placement even and symmetrical with the other side, so I said yes. After the piercing, I told him the placement was off, and the the hole on the inside of my nose seemed to be really really low, close the bottom of my nostril, and also that the diamond on the jewelry was facing towards the sky, not out. He said, "its just regular swelling" then dismissed the fact that it was uneven. attached photos are their unprofessional emails and my responses. Jaden did my piercing, do not recommend

I can't believe I never reviewed this place!!…read more I had my very first tattoo done by the incredibly talented Aura Dalian here at North Main, and my only regrets is I wish I had done it sooner. She does absolutely beautiful work. In fact, everyone here has beautiful work. Every single artist here is truly that, an artist! They regularly have their own personal art hanging on the walls of the building. Every few months, they also have gallery events for new art shows they're hosting! The interior is super clean. The girl running the desk is very nice and efficient, and setting appointments is easy-peasy. They're very welcoming, especially to someone who had never walked into a tattoo shop before and wasn't just getting a tiny black and white piece. If you want high quality work done by real artists, you need to come here.
