About Us
Inked 4 Life Tattoo Collective was founded on one simple belief: tattoos are more than ink on skin—they’re personal stories, artistic expression, and community connection. We are a collective built by artists, for artists, and proudly rooted in a mission to elevate both the tattooing experience and the people who make it possible.
For artists, we provide wonderfully curated and welcoming studios designed to be as inspiring as they are accessible. Whether you're a local artist or traveling guest, you’ll have access to fully stocked disposable supplies, premium inks, and flexible booth rental or commission options that support your craft and your schedule. We offer opportunities for growth through exclusive seminars, pro-team tattoo convention tours, podcast features, and ongoing marketing support to help your work reach the clients you were meant to serve.
For clients, Inked 4 Life promises clean, modern, professionally managed studios in locations that feel as good as they look. Every artist is talent-vetted not just for skill, but for being a genuinely good human. Whether you’re sitting with one of our celebrated local artists, a touring guest, or even a celebrity tattooer, you’ll find a space that is safe, warm, and creatively charged.
We’re more than a shop—we’re a movement. With community art events, client perks like tattoo convention discounts, and optional promotions like Friday the 13th flash days, Inked 4 Life is a space where creativity thrives, connections are made, and tattoos become unforgettable experiences.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book an appointment?
Booking is easy! Once you’ve picked the artist you’d like to work with, just stop by the shop, give us a call, or shoot us a message through our contact form or social media. Be sure to include a description of your tattoo idea, any reference images, and your preferred date/time. We’ll get back to you as soon as possible to confirm and set everything up.
What’s your age policy for tattoos?
You must be at least 18 years old to get tattooed at any of our shop. We require a valid photo ID (driver’s license, passport, or government-issued ID). Even with parental consent, we do not tattoo minors—no exceptions. It’s all about safety and staying in line with the law.
How much does a tattoo cost?
Prices vary depending on the size, complexity, placement, and the artist. We do have a shop minimum, and larger custom pieces are usually priced by the hour. For an accurate quote, we recommend a consultation (which is totally free!).
Can I get a quote before coming in?
Absolutely! You can send us a detailed message with your idea, placement, size, and some references. Or, better yet, book a consultation with one of our artists. We also offer virtual consults if you can’t make it in person.
Do you take walk-ins?
Yes! We welcome walk-ins daily on a first-come, first-served basis. Availability depends on the day and how booked our artists are, so your best bet is to give us a call or stop by early.
Does it hurt?
Yep—it stings a bit. But it’s a manageable kind of pain, and most people say it’s worth every second. Plus, your body releases endorphins during the process, so it’s not all bad!
How long does a tattoo take to heal?
Initial healing usually takes 2 to 3 weeks, but full skin regeneration can take a couple of months. During that time, proper aftercare is key to keeping your tattoo looking fresh and vibrant.
How do I take care of my new tattoo?
Don’t worry—we’ll walk you through everything after your session and send you home with detailed aftercare instructions. If you ever have questions, we’re just a call or DM away.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Secure Payments Only: We use Square for all deposit payments. Make sure you see our official logo on the invoice.
Stay Safe: We'll never ask for payments through any other platform. If anything seems off, get in touch with us right away.
Do I need to leave a deposit?
Yes, we may require a deposit to secure your appointment. This deposit goes toward the total cost of your tattoo and is non-refundable and non-transferable. It helps us block off your time and prep your custom design.
How should I prepare for my tattoo session?
Eat a good meal beforehand and stay hydrated. Avoid alcohol at least 24 hours before your appointment—it can thin your blood and affect the tattoo process. Wear comfy clothes and try to relax. You’re in good hands, and we’ve got you covered.
Do you offer private or off-site sessions?
In most cases, we work in-shop only, but for special projects or collaborative events, we may offer private sessions. Just reach out to discuss options.
