Fennick Street Tattoo (sample) is four artists, two rooms and a wall of flash, open five days a week.
Eli opened the studio in a former print shop with one chair and a drawing table (sample). Today four artists work here, each with their own style, and the front room still has the drawing table where every custom piece starts.
We tattoo first-timers and full sleeves alike. If you are not sure what you want yet, come in for a consultation: it is free, and nobody will rush you.
A few rules that keep the chair safe and fair for everyone.
