Our story
Studio Image

This Tattoo Studio is a representation of our powerful and beautiful culture.

This bodysuit is of Goddess Arya Tara, who seems calm and beautiful but fierce with knowledge and power. She is viewed as the female counterpart to Avalokiteshvara, symbolizing compassion and the easing of suffering.

“Arya” means noble, and “Tara” means star or savior — the one who helps beings cross the ocean of suffering (samsara).

The White Tara (Sanskrit: Sitatara; Tibetan: Sgrol-dkar) was incarnated as the Chinese princess. She symbolizes purity and is often represented standing at the right hand of her consort, Avalokiteshvara, or seated with legs crossed, holding a full-blown lotus.

What we do

From a first idea to a healed piece.

01

Custom Tattoo Design

Original artwork drawn for one person only - first reference to final stencil, sized to your body.

Drawn to brief · stencil approved before we start

02

Flash Tattoo

Pre-drawn designs straight off the wall, ready to ink the same day. One sitting, no waiting.

Same day · walk-ins taken when a chair is free

03

Cover-Ups

Old ink rebuilt into something you want to keep — larger, darker, drawn to bury what is underneath.

Session planned around the piece you already have

04

Tattoo Touch-Ups & Rework

Faded lines and blown-out shading brought back. Reworked rather than replaced.

Our work or someone else's · quoted per sitting
