Fine line tattoos,drawn slowly

A woman-owned studio for delicate tattoos, curated ear piercings and fine body jewelry. We work by appointment, one guest at a time, so nothing about your piece is rushed.

Needle only, never a gun

Custom, drawn for you

Art you’ll love. An experience you’ll remember.

What we do

Three things, done properly

Everything here is built around anatomy and longevity. We would rather talk you out of a placement that will not age well than take the booking.

i Fine line tattoos Single needle and hand poked work. Florals, script, small symbols, and pieces designed from your idea. Sized so the linework still reads in ten years. ii Curated piercings We map the whole ear before anything is pierced, not just the next hole. Single, hollow needles, honest healing timelines, and a downsize appointment built into the price. iii Fine body jewelry Solid gold and implant grade titanium, threadless so ends swap easily. Try pieces on against your own ear in the studio before you decide on anything.

Recent work

A few pieces from the studio

Healed photographs where we have them, because fresh linework always looks crisper than it will settle.

A fine line chrysanthemum tattooed across a thigh. A curated ear with a stone cluster and a pearl drop, in gold. Matching fine line script tattooed on two forearms. A fine line bow, cherries and script with a gold ankle chain.

The studio

Quiet work in a loud part of town

Old Town has plenty of walk-in shops. We are the opposite of that. One guest at a time, in a private room, with the door closed and the music at a volume you can talk over.

  • We take our time. Appointments are booked with room to breathe, so nothing gets rushed to make the next slot.
  • We listen. You will see the stencil, move it as many times as you need, and only start when it is right.
  • Bloodborne pathogen certified, single use needles, and an autoclave log you are welcome to ask about.

  • Alyssa is literally the best. She made me feel so comfortable. I would definitely fly back here from WI for any touch ups or new tattoos.

  • Obsessed with my results, the best tattoo experience I could have asked for. Kenzie made me feel so comfortable and was so amazing with adjustments to my design. I was so relaxed I almost fell asleep. My tattoo turned out perfect and I could not be happier.

  • Walking in with a baby in your arms is nerve-wracking, but Ashley immediately changed the entire experience. She greeted us warmly, spoke gently to my daughter, and explained every single step so I knew exactly what was happening and why.
