How does booking work?

Start by filling out the form with as much detail as possible. We review your submission, consult with the artist if needed, and guide you to consultation or booking. A non-refundable retainer is required to secure an appointment.
How much does it cost?

Smaller tattoos are priced based on size, detail, and placement. Larger work is priced by the session. Each artist has a typical range shown during booking. Sessions are paid as you go, typically spaced around 4 weeks apart.
How do I get the best tattoo possible?

Give your artist room to make decisions inside their own style. They have solved the problem you are bringing them hundreds of times before, and the strongest work almost always comes from that kind of trust.
Do you copy tattoos done by other artists?

No. All reference-based tattoos are redrawn to ensure originality, quality, and longevity.
What happens after I submit?

We review your request, confirm or adjust artist fit, and guide you to the next step. You'll hear from us within 2 business days.

What our clients say

The staff and artists here are incredibly friendly and professional, and really make an effort to make sure clients have a great experience.
Starting with my consultation, I walked in with a simple concept, and Stani really took the time to discuss my idea, and he came up with an initial design, completely transforming it into a beautiful realism piece.
Stani is an incredible artist, and I highly recommend him if you are looking for a black and grey realism tattoo. Thank you, Stani and everyone at Ink & Dagger for an awesome experience!

I have been tattooed many times at Ink and Dagger and I highly recommend this location. I have been getting tattooed by Mel Perlman for the past year, and it's been such an amazing experience that I already have 5 of her tattoos. Three of her fabulous flash and two custom tattoos. She is currently designing a sleeve that flows through the four seasons. She did part 1 recently and completely knocked it out of the park. I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend checking out her flash or inquiring about a custom tattoo. Not only is she a great artist, she is a wonderful person to chat with while you are getting your tattoo!

Elizabeth Williams

I have now gotten three pieces done at this shop by the incredible Lilith Jacobs. All three have turned out incredible and I cannot say enough good things about Lilith. She is an absolute artist and if you want a piece, I highly recommend her.
The staff as a whole, from the front desk to the management to the other artists are a joy to interact with. The decor is amazing and feels like a space where artists are free to be themselves. Make sure you schedule for when they're playing the entire Shrek 2 soundtrack for extra special ambiance.

Mel did a brilliant job on my cover up!! You would never expect there to be a tattoo under this one. The detail is gorgeous. I am beyond thrilled!!

Mel was very easy to discuss ideas with. She sent the initial design a week before my appointment. I really appreciated the time to think about it and make adjustments before our session.

The salon was clean and welcoming.
I loved the vibe.
