IronOrchid.

Three artists, strong opinions, and zero interest in tattooing something off a wall. Bring us an idea, a feeling, or a terrible sketch on a napkin, we'll take it from there.

Meet the artists

The artists.

Three chairs, no egos
Mars, fine line artist

Mars

Fine line, botanical, and the kind of script your grandmother would approve of.

Vex, blackwork artist

Vex

Blackwork and neo-traditional with teeth. If it looks like it could bite, it's Vex's.

House rules.

Short list, firm handshake
01

Custom means custom.

We don't copy other artists' work, and we won't tattoo something we know you'll hate in five years. That's the job.

02

Deposits hold dates.

Non-refundable, comes off your final price. It protects the artist's day and your spot, everybody wins.

03

Eat first. Sleep first.

Show up fed, hydrated, and sober. Your skin behaves better and so do you.

04

Bring the bad sketch.

Seriously. The napkin drawing, the screenshot folder, the half-formed idea. That's where the good ones start.

Wear it forever.

Consults are free, opinions are included, and the coffee is better than it needs to be.
