Why this shop
We ask everyone that before anything gets drawn. A word, a date, a shape you have carried around for years. Your answer changes how your artist draws it.
Spider started this shop with Electra and Annika so women could tattoo women. Every artist behind the needle is a woman. People come in for big pieces, small ones and first tattoos, and the music is on from open to close.

Your tattooTap a style, a spot and a size
Tap a spot on the figure. Turn it around for your back. Left or right side, put it in your note.
How it works
Use the form on this page or message the shop on Instagram. Tell us the idea, where it goes and about how big.
We talk about the tattoo, where it goes on your body, why you want it and what it means to you. You get your price here.
A $100 deposit holds your date and comes off the price of the tattoo. We text or email you a link to pay it after the consult.
Your artist draws it and sends it to you for a yes before the day. Changes happen here, before you sit down in the chair.
Bring your photo ID, some time and some patience. Eat first. The music will already be on.
This is where most tattoos go wrong. You leave with it written down, and it is all on our aftercare page.
