About Us
As the number of people having tattoos applied continues to rise, so does the number of people with resulting tattoo regret.
Happy with the all around experience, the staff was great from beginning to the end.
Tattoo regret is simply the remorse one feels after getting a tattoo. Regret is often fueled by a lifestyle change, a new job, a change in personal taste, or a shift in relationships.

That is where we come in.
