MARK
With over 30 years of experience behind the needle, I'm a seasoned tattoo artist known for my precision, creativity, and personal approach to the craft. From traditional designs to finely detailed custom work, I bring decades of skill and passion to every tattoo I create. For me, tattooing is more than just putting ink on skin—it's about connection. My philosophy is simple: "If I can make someone’s day better through my art, then I’ve done my job right."
I take pride in turning my clients’ ideas into lasting works of art, always striving to create not just tattoos, but meaningful experiences. Whether you're getting your first piece or adding to a collection, I’m committed to quality and care—so you’ll leave my chair with a smile and a tattoo you’ll love forever.
LUCIA
Hi my names Lucia, I've always made art but once I came of age, I got my first tattoo and was hooked. I started my career tattooing myself and my friends but quickly realized this craft deserved care and attention to detail, so I found an apprenticeship at a local biker shop.
I love taking someone's idea out of the ether and pulling it into reality. The smile on their face when they finally see the design is ever rewarding.
My favorite styles to do are neo-traditional, blackwork, and color illustrative work. But Im capable of producing tattoos of any style, as I was taught in my apprenticeship, I take on any challenge that walks through the door and I handle it with confidence.
New to maryland, im excited to start this new chapter of my tattooing journey and am excited to meet new clients and make new connections!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need an appointment, or can I just walk in?
We always recommend booking an appointment to lock in time with your artist and ensure we can fully prepare your custom design and experience. That said, we do accept walk-ins when possible—availability just depends on the day and the type of work you're looking to get. Feel free to call ahead and check!
Can I get a quote over the phone or by email?
We get it—everyone wants to plan ahead. While we’re happy to give general guidance, accurate quotes are tough without seeing the design, size, placement, and detail involved. Our shop minimum is $150, and anything custom will receive a ballpark estimate during your consultation. Tattooing is a personal, permanent process, so we stay in close communication throughout to ensure you’re informed and comfortable every step of the way.
How long does it take for a tattoo to heal?
Healing times can vary by person and piece, but most tattoos we do are bandaged with second skin to protect and speed up healing. For more in-depth info on aftercare and healing stages, check out our Healing page.
Can I use numbing cream before my session?
We do use topical products during your session that help ease discomfort—most include lidocaine in safe amounts. If you plan to apply a numbing cream beforehand, be cautious: too much lidocaine can change the texture of your skin and make tattooing more difficult. If you're unsure, talk with your artist before your appointment for guidance.
HEALING
Always clean area and dry thoroughly to ensure skin is clear of any ointment or soap residues.
Leave the Recovery Covering on for 4-5 hours as recommended by your artist. It will protect your tattoo during the beginning of your healing process. Then gently peel away the Covering back over itself. Once it has all been removed, wash your tattoo with unscented soap and warm water. Use unscented lotion for the remainder of the healing process.
