Jan 1, 2010 we were a new shop with new artists that nobody had ever heard of. Today everyone knows our name.. ok, not everyone but a lot more. Todd is still here doing amazing work on your tattoos and we also have a couple of apprentices that have amazing skill to add to our other two artists Nathan and Jesse. We usually have some time each day for a limited number of walk-in tattoos but always have time for you to book an appointment!

Bring your friends and get some ink! Time is running out if you want it healed before beach season!

2011 limited edition k.ink hoodies and t-shirts available to (click here) order now.

Because these sold so fast, I’m going to add some more to the initial printing. Get them fast or they’ll be gone as well!

Sounds pretty damn cool to us and we’re excited to see you up there!

The reason why tattoos cost so much isn’t because people are greedy. We charge less than other shops for the same work but we have a minimum, just like everyone else.

A small tattoo might cost $50 and a larger one $300. The reasons for this are because we have insurance to pay for and other expenses related to keeping our shop clean and our equipment sterile. If you get a tattoo for $20 from someone in his basement, it’s because he’s not paying insurance (or taxes) and may likely be skimping on sterilization barrier procedures. — and breaking the law by tattooing you outside of a shop, without a license. VERY few Iowa shop licenses are “residential” licenses.
