Three Specialized Expert Artists
Unlike studios with generalist artists, each of our three professionals specializes in specific styles, ensuring you get the absolute best results for your chosen tattoo type.
Our unique approach means you'll work with an artist who has dedicated their career to mastering your preferred style—whether that's Lily's expertise in realism and cover-ups, Winona's neo-traditional mastery, or Max's precision blackwork.
Personalized "Stories to Art" Approach
We don't just create tattoos—we transform your personal stories into timeless artwork that resonates with your individual journey and experiences.
Every consultation begins with understanding your story, your vision, and what this tattoo means to you. This personal connection ensures your final piece isn't just beautiful—it's meaningful and uniquely yours.
Unmatched Cover-up Expertise
Our reputation for transforming unwanted tattoos into stunning new artworks is legendary in the Johannesburg tattoo community.
Lily's specialized training in cover-up techniques has helped hundreds of clients fall in love with their tattoos again. We see challenges that other studios won't take on, and we turn them into opportunities for incredible transformations.
Exceptional Standards & Environment
From our pristine hygiene protocols to our welcoming studio atmosphere, every detail is designed to make your tattoo experience comfortable and safe.
We exceed industry safety standards and maintain a studio environment that feels more like a creative sanctuary than a clinical setting. Our beloved mascot Olive adds warmth that helps even nervous first-time clients feel at ease.
100% Custom Designs Only
We never use flash sheets or generic designs. Every single tattoo is created specifically for you, reflecting your personal aesthetic and story.
Our artists take pride in creating original artwork for each client. From the initial sketch to the final session, you'll receive personal attention and a truly unique piece that no one else will ever have.
But That's Not All...
