Walked in on a Tuesday night with a rough idea and walked out with a piece better than what I had pictured. The shop is spotless and the whole vibe is welcoming.

Got my cover-up done here after two other shops said it could not be saved. You would never know there was anything underneath it. Worth every penny.

Good to Know

Yes — the shop is open until 10 PM Monday through Saturday and Sundays 12 to 8, so walk-ins work even after a full day. First come, first served; larger custom pieces are better booked as a consultation so there's time to design them properly.

Custom work is quoted at your consultation based on size, placement, and detail — sit down with Nash, talk through the idea, get an honest number.

$100 — that's the starting price for walk-ins and small pieces, no matter how simple the design.

18 or older with a valid government-issued photo ID — Florida law, no exceptions.

Eat a full meal beforehand, stay hydrated, and skip alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment. Wear clothing that gives easy access to the placement area.

Military and first-responder discounts, every day — just show your ID at the desk.
