• We can be hard to find! The studio is located on 13th street. We share the building with a lawyers office. It is a brick building with green above the windows. The middle glass doors are the lawyers office and Arboretum Studios door is on the left.

My schedule is broken into half days (3hrs), full days (6hrs), with 1hr tattoos sprinkled here & there. With every tattoo plan for extra time for set up & any stretch breaks (30min-1hr).

I accept card and cash for payment but have set my prices to not need tips. If you feel the need to tip I do like trinkets, your art, desserts (strawberry flavor anything), boba (lactose free) and if you are unsure here is a link to a list.
