Sam fused two dragons for this piece on the upper thigh, giving the collector's favorite, Draco from Dragonheart, a more feminine face and the turquoise palette of Tomoe from Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy. He set the head emerging from red spider lilies and swept black wind curls below them to carry the piece down the thigh. The collector travelled from Austin for it. One session. By Sam McAleese.

Everything you need to know before your session.
We are happy to make a recommendation based on the style of tattoo you are looking for.
You won't see the design before the day of your appointment. This is because our artists are working on custom designs for every client, so they usually don't have time to start working on your design until the day(s) before the appointment. Everything we discuss with you about the tattoo is relayed directly to the artist. When they start your design, they'll have all the information and any reference photos you provided so they can get as close as possible to what you're wanting while providing their own expert background on what is going to be the best design artistically. This process is how our artists stay fully creative and focused on your project—not juggling ten at once or rushing between clients. It gives you their full energy, which is why our clients consistently say: ‘It’s even better than I imagined.’
Every great tattoo starts with a conversation. Book a consultation and let us bring your vision to life.
All deposits are non-refundable and go towards the cost of the tattoo. Your appointment can be rescheduled and your deposit can be transferred one time with 10 days' advanced notice.
Our booking experts know our artists so well they're most often able to consult with clients on their behalf. That said, we totally understand if you'd like to speak directly with the artist before your appointment. In that case, we can set up a Creative Meeting with you and the artist directly 2-4 weeks before your appointment happens.
Pricing varies greatly by artist, project size, and style. Our artists typically work on a full day minimum. During your consultation we'll give you an estimate for your project.
Our artists travel occasionally, but not on a consistent or recurring basis. Many of our clients fly in. For large pieces they often elect to sit multiple days in a row to complete the tattoo in fewer trips. Our North Dallas location has a partnership with a local hotel where we can secure discounted rates for our clients.
