Needle & Bone is four chairs, four specialists: fine line, blackwork, colour realism, Japanese. Book with a $50 deposit or walk in on Friday.
Healed and fresh pieces from the last six weeks. Every one drawn for the body it lives on, never pulled off a wall.
Each artist does one thing and does it all day. Pick the style, and you have picked the person.
Single-needle botanicals, micro script and tiny portraits that stay crisp in ten years.
Solid black, sacred geometry, dotwork fades and big blast-over cover-ups.
Colour realism with punch: glossy objects, animals and florals that read from across the room.
Japanese large-scale work: waves, koi, peonies and full backs over several sessions.

Placement, rough size and a few reference photos. Your artist replies within 48 hours with a plan and a price range.
Pay the $50 deposit to hold your date. It comes off the final price, and you can move the date once for free with 48 hours notice.
Eat first, bring water, wear something loose. We set up the stencil with you and only start when you love it.
No booking · first come, first inked
Every Friday from 12:00 to 20:00 all four chairs take walk-ins. Pick from the Friday flash wall, $80 to $180 for small pieces, cash or card. Arrive early, the first twelve names get a slot.
Thirty days decide how your tattoo looks for the next thirty years. Here is the whole routine.
Film off after 3 to 4 hours. Lukewarm water, unscented soap, pat dry, then a thin layer of balm.
Peeling and itching start. Do not scratch or pick. Balm two or three times a day and keep it clean.
Swap balm for plain lotion. Still no pools, sea, saunas or sunbeds for another two weeks.
Fully healed. SPF 50 from now on. Something faded? Your touch-up is free within three months.
Anything else, message the studio. A human answers within a day, usually faster.
Our minimum is $120. Most palm-sized pieces land between $180 and $400. Large work is billed by session at $160 an hour, and you get the range before you pay anything.
The $50 deposit comes off your final price. It is not refundable, but you can move your date once for free with 48 hours notice.
Yes. Your artist redraws it so the lines hold up in skin and fit the placement. You approve the stencil before we start.
Some. Ribs, feet and hands sting more than arms and thighs. We take breaks whenever you need one, and numbing cream is fine if you tell us first.
18 or over, with photo ID. No exceptions, even with a parent.
Jonah does most of them. Send a clear photo in daylight and he will tell you honestly what can be covered and how dark it needs to go.
Tell us the idea. Your artist answers within 48 hours with a sketch plan, price range and the first free dates.
