Events Last One Night,
Tattoos Last Forever.

We create live tattooing experiences for brand activations, weddings, and private celebrations. You tell us the vision - we handle the artists, the art, the permits, and every detail in between.
About Us

We tattoo the party

Brand launch, hotel residency, wedding, festival, birthday, holiday party. We bring the crew, the flash, the permits, and the system. You bring the event. Every other detail — we handle behind the scenes.

We're not a tattoo shop that shows up at events. We're an event studio — experience designers, logistics operators, and the team that makes sure your guests leave with something they'll never forget.

Our Way

A crew, not a solo artist.
That's the difference.

We’re not a tattoo shop doing events—we’re an experiential studio built to deliver beautiful tattoos, flawless logistics, and hospitality that feels effortless for planners and guests alike.

Full team deployment

Artist, assistant, check-in host, event coordinator — we bring everyone your event needs. Different person for consultations, tattooing, aftercare, waivers, queue management. That focus is how we tattoo 3-4× faster than a solo setup.

Custom flash, per event

No generic flash sheets. Our in-house illustrator designs 10-15 original pieces for your activation — your brand, your city, your couple, your theme. Two rounds of review, then we print. No two events look the same.

Safety built in

Every artist is licensed with current BBP certification. Single-use equipment. $2M liability insurance — we'll add your company as additional insured. Permits handled per city, per event. No surprises for your legal team.

Custom Flash Art

Custom flash,
drawn for your event.

All of our flash is hand-drawn by our in-house illustrators. We work with you to create something original for your activation, or pull from our archive of curated designs.

Already have brand assets or design ideas? We work from your direction — Pinterest boards, brand guidelines, or napkin sketches. We refine together until the sheet is dialed.

The Process

How it works,
in plain steps.

You don't need to know anything about tattoos. We handle the permits, the art, the crew, the aftercare. Here's what working with us looks like.

Most events are booked 4 to 8 weeks out. Larger activations or events requiring health permits should plan 30 to 60 days in advance.

01

Discovery & Planning

We align on guest count, layout, brand requirements, and any legal considerations. Then create a custom proposal.

02

Flash & Booth Design

We present curated or custom flash sets, iterate with your feedback, and finalize signage, print materials, crew outfit, and other branded touchpoints.

03

Compliance & Logistics

We coordinate with your team and venue on the permits, insurance certificates, power access, schedules and provide necessary documents.

04

Event Day Execution

Artists, assistants, and the host arrive early, build stations, run safety checks, and open for guests on schedule. Then clean up at the end of the event day.

Let's build something
your guests will never forget.
