What Others Say:
The 1 Man & His Studio
Hey, I'm Howard Bell, the proud owner of the private studio, Indigo Ink Tattoo. I've been making lasting impressions on skin since 2002, with a passion to create art in an environment that breaks away from the "average" tattoo shop vibe.My goal is to create a space where you can comfortably share your vision and walk away with a piece that's either:
"picked right out of your brain"
Or “even better than you could have imagined”
To make this happen, I personally call each client before booking their appointment. This allows me to:
Go over all the details, such as the tattoo you want, its size, your budget, and the style you're aiming for.
Schedule a time that suits both of us perfectly.
Address any questions or concerns you might have.
Unlike other artists who might be distracted, don't have that "vibe", or rush through your session, I'll be focused on you and your art during our session.And you won't have to worry about strange "up-sells" or any problems with your deposit because I'll make sure we have plenty of time for both of us to be involved before, during, and after your experience.If you're looking for a tattoo experience that prioritizes your imagination in a welcoming, clean, and 1-on-1 environment, come visit Indigo Ink Tattoo.You won't regret it. See you soon!
