Dave Aslett Jr.
Specialties: Bold American traditional, Neo-traditional color, script & custom lettering
Dave’s the anchor of the shop—big energy, bigger color palettes. He’ll walk you through every step so your first (or fiftieth) tattoo feels dialed-in and deliberate.
Mariah Aslett
Specialties: Fine-line florals, delicate black & grey, ornamental and feminine designs
Mariah is all about detail and comfort—perfect for first-timers, meaningful micro tattoos, and soft, flowing pieces that age gracefully.
Colten
Specialties: Blackwork, geometric, modern linework and pattern-heavy pieces
Clean, precise, and modern—Colten’s your go-to for crisp shapes, symmetry, and tattoos that look like they were plotted with a ruler (in the best way).
Joe Kappel
Specialties: New school color, illustrative, geek & pop-culture pieces
Joe’s style is loud in the best way—big color, big characters, and playful designs that still hold up crisp and clean over time.
Alex Garza
Specialties: Black & grey realism, portraits, surreal and cinematic pieces
If you’ve got a story to tell in skin—faces, hands, movies, or memories—Alex is your guy. Meticulous shading, smooth gradients, and serious depth.
Michael Ragsdale
Specialties: Dark realism, skulls, horror, and high-contrast black & grey
Michael leans into the moody side of tattooing—shadow, texture, and atmosphere—while still keeping everything readable and wearable for the long haul.

FAQ
How do you price tattoos?
We price by the piece — not by the hour. Size, detail, color, and placement all factor in. Come in for a free consultation and we'll give you a fair quote.
Do you accept walk-ins?
Absolutely. Walk-ins are always welcome during business hours. First come, first served.
How do I prepare for my appointment?
Stay hydrated, eat a full meal beforehand, wear comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being tattooed, and get a good night's sleep.
What is your aftercare process?
We'll walk you through everything after your session and provide comprehensive aftercare instructions. We also carry all-natural aftercare products in-shop.
Do you offer payment plans?
Contact us directly at (208) 605-2943 to discuss payment options and arrangements.
What if I'm nervous about pain?
We carry professional-grade numbing cream. Just ask your artist before your session — we want you comfortable.
Can I bring friends or family?
Of course — we're a family-friendly shop. The more the merrier. Your support system is welcome.
What is your piercing process?
All piercings are done by trained professionals using sterile, single-use equipment. Jewelry is included in the service price.
How old do you need to be?
18+ for tattoos without parental consent. Minors 14 -17 may be tattooed with a parent or legal guardian present and signed consent form.
Do you have a children area where my kids can wait?
Yes! We are the only shop in Boise with an on-site child area so parents can get tattooed comfortably without worry.
What is a full-day session?
Full-day sessions run 12PM–8PM for $700. Call (208) 605-2943 to book yours.
