What we tattoo.
Nobody here tattoos everything, and the shop does not pretend otherwise. These are the things Tomb actually does, and who does them. If your idea sits outside all of it, say so in the inquiry and you will get an honest answer rather than a booking.
Blackwork tattooing
Markus, Justin
Black ink only, and the whole design built out of how much of it goes where. No color to lean on, which is why it either works or it does not.

Markus, Justin, Miles
The reason the shop exists. Horror is not a theme applied to a tattoo here, it is what the artists draw whether or not anybody is paying them to.

Markus, Justin, Miles
Often possible, sometimes not, and the only honest answer comes from seeing what is already on you.

Designs the artists have already drawn, hanging on the wall and available. Take one as it is, or use it as the starting point for something of your own.
