A True Artists’ Studio

A space where artists come together.

There is something unique and special inside all of us, something that no one else can offer the world. Our job is not to judge this gift, but to explore and share it.

About Us

At Ballroom Ink Tattoo Shop we are dedicated to providing high quality tattoo art to our clients. We also have artists who primarily focus on their own work, and these artists use their unique voice to create pieces of fine art.

We believe in supporting our artists in all forms of their creativity. We welcome tattoo enthusiasts seeking ink from a chosen artists’ work to build a library of body art that is meaningful and significant, potentially beyond the collector’s appreciation.

We believe that supporting our artists in their own creative pursuits ultimately benefits our clients as well, as it allows our artists to continually grow and develop their skills.

While some of our artists may primarily focus on their personal work, they also bring their unique artistic perspectives and techniques to the tattoos they create for our clients. This allows us to offer a diverse range of styles and designs to our clients, ensuring that they receive a truly personalized and exceptional piece of art.

Whether you are interested in getting a tattoo or collecting our artists' personal work, we invite you to come visit us at Ballroom Ink!

Our Vision

At Ballroom Ink, our artists are not afraid to challenge norms and strive for self-expression and self-dignity. Tattooing is a sacred, ancient art form that has been passed down through generations, and we are proud to be a part of this rich tradition. Western tattoos, in particular, have been used to help people heal wounds and find appreciation for their strength and resilience as individuals. Our artists believe in expressing ourselves while healing our souls and creating a beautiful network of art.

We are part of a larger community and value diversity, which reflects the rich ancient culture that resonates beyond our walls. We believe that the collective strength of our diverse community promotes a more beautiful world.

We take great pride in elevating the art of tattooing and providing our clients with works of art that they will cherish for a lifetime. Our goal is not only to create stunning works of art but to inspire our clients to find their own voice and use tattooing as a means of self-expression and empowerment.

WHAT WE OFFER

Market Flash

Market Flash refers to a collection of tattoo designs that clients can choose from, which are created by the artists at Ballroom Ink. These designs are straightforward and can be completed in a single session. Tattoo artists often reuse these flash designs. If you choose a design from a book of flash designs, it means that you are not getting a unique tattoo, and someone else may have the same tattoo as you.

Collector Artwork

Collector Artwork is unique to the artist. They are designs made specifically by the artist in their preferred style or of their own interests. Each artist keeps these within their own portfolio and choses clients upon request. If you want a unique tattoo from a specific artist in their own style, this would be the way to go. Artwork is original to the wearer and artists will not repeat their own pieces.

Custom Artwork

A full Custom Tattoo is one you and the artist will design together. Custom Tattoos can be something you present with specific reference photos or descriptions, and allow the Tattoo Artist to take creative rights over.

We only focus on tattoos. We do not offer piercings.
