Upcoming Guest Artist

Travis Turner

Beginning his career in 2005, Travis Turner learned the craft under world famous Cleen Rock One in Elgin Illinois, which is possibly where he gets his brightly colored new school approach from. Spending years in the industry traveling and working anywhere from fully custom shops to downtown street shops, Travis has built an ability to approach and execute most any tattooing style. With the inspiration and guidance he has collected from working with so many talented artists, there is not a job he is not confident taking on. From black work to water color, custom lettering to full color portraits, black and gray to new school, or traditional , Travis will turn your idea into a reality.

FROM OUR PORTFOLIOS

Have questions?

Click on these items to see if we have your answer. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us using the form below.

  • The easiest way to book, is to stop into the shop. You can also call the shop. If you'd like to book online, you can email the artists directly. Or fill out our booking request form, and we will get back to you. Not all tattoos require appointments. Smaller tattoos can be done as a walk in. But you are always welcome to book an appointment if you want a specific time and day.

  • Make sure you eat and hydrate beforehand. You can also moisturize the area in the days leading up to your appointment. Wear comfortable clothes, that allows access to the area being tattooed. You can bring headphones with you if you are not a talker. Bring a snack and a drink if you would like (although we do have some on hand if you forget). And finally, make sure you have enough time. Good tattoos can't be rushed. If you need to, let the artist know and reschedule.

  • Finding the right artist can be the difference between an ok tattoo, and a great one. First look at all the artists work. If one really stands out to you. That's the one. You'll get a much better tattoo if you trust the artist to turn your idea into something amazing for you. If everyone's work looks good. Choose the one whose style is the most similar to what you're looking to get. If you are unsure who to go with, just ask us. We will pair you with the artist that is best suited to help you with your particular design. We do this all the time. We're here to help.

  • First decide which artist you would like to work with. Then you can contact them to setup a time for you and them to sit down and discuss your idea. Be sure to bring any reference pictures with you. Once you and the artist have a plan for your design, you will schedule an appointment. Then they will get to work on your design. Then all you have to do is show up and get tattooed. Easy.
