Now Hiring · Lewes, DE
We're a private, appointment-only studio on the Delaware coast — quiet rooms, serious work, and clients who came here on purpose. If you treat tattooing like a craft, we'd like to talk.
Why Here

Private Studio
No walk-in chaos. Appointment-only, by-the-piece focus.
Established Brand
25+ years in Sussex County. Built-in client trust and steady inbound.
Fair Splits
Transparent commission structure. We pay for the room — you keep your art.
Coast Location
Walkable historic Lewes, minutes from Rehoboth, Cape May ferry, and the beaches.
Modern Tools
Cheyenne / FK Irons, Eternal & Fusion inks, iPad Pro workflow, Square POS.
Real Mentorship
Direct critique from a 25-year veteran. We grow artists, not bodies in chairs.

Questions
No — but a strong, cohesive portfolio is essential. Our walk-in and inbound flow will keep a serious artist booked within the first 90 days.
Commission split, paid weekly. Splits are discussed at the second interview and are competitive for the Delaware market.
We take roughly one apprentice every several years. The bar is very high — show us months of consistent drawings, not a wish.
Yes. We've relocated artists before. We'll talk through Delaware licensure and timing on the first call.
Private, quiet, gallery-like. We dress and act the part — clients are paying for an experience, not a scene.
