Whether you know exactly who you want to work with or this is your first tattoo and just have an idea in mind, we're here to help you create something amazing.

If you already know which Dark Water artist you'd like to book with, you can always reach out to them directly to schedule your appointment. Otherwise, this form serves as your gateway to connect with the perfect artist match for your vision.

Don't know who you want to book with? No problem. Our knowledgeable staff will review your request and make personalized recommendations based on your design, style preferences, and timeline. Not sure about styles? Check out our artist portfolios to see specialties in blackwork, realism, geometric designs, and more.

We do our best to respond within 24 hours, though as a small atelier, we occasionally need to focus entirely on our clients' sessions. Once we match you with an artist, most offer free consultations to discuss your vision before booking. If your preferred artist's books are currently closed due to high demand, we'll either suggest alternative timing or introduce you to another incredible artist whose style aligns perfectly with your vision. If we can't help you, we'll tell you honestly and point you toward someone who can.
