When it comes to expressing yourself through body art, finding the right tattoo artist and studio is essential. Tattoos are more than just ink on skin - they tell stories, capture memories, and showcase your personality. If you’re in Mays Landing or nearby, you’re in luck. There’s a small but vibrant tattoo scene here that offers unique artistry tailored to your style and vision. I want to share some insights and tips to help you explore this creative world with confidence and excitement.


Mays Landing is home to a small variety of tattoo artists who specialize in different styles - from American traditional and Japanese inspired to realism, watercolor, illustrative and geometric designs. What makes the tattoo artistry here unique is the blend of creativity and personalized service. Our artists (Jenn, Tina and Dennis) take the time to understand your ideas and collaborate with you to create something truly one-of-a-kind. Whether it's fine line and details you want or bold, colorful pieces you'll find we can bring your vision to life.



If you’re new to tattoos or unsure about the style you want, don’t hesitate to ask questions. We are always happy to discuss your ideas, suggest designs, and explain the process. This openness helps build trust and ensures you’re comfortable every step of the way.

What Makes Tattoo Artistry in Mays Landing Stand Out?


One thing clients appreciate about the our small tattoo community here is the welcoming atmosphere. Studios often feel like creative hubs where you can relax and be yourself. We are passionate about what we do and genuinely care about delivering quality work.


We prioritize hygiene and safety, which is crucial when getting a tattoo. We follow strict sterilization protocols and use high-quality inks and equipment. This attention to detail not only protects your health but also ensures your tattoo looks vibrant and lasts long.


Another highlight is the availability of custom tattoo services. Instead of choosing from pre-made designs, you can work with an artist to create something unique to your story or personality. This collaborative process is rewarding and results in a tattoo that feels truly yours.

How Much Do You Tip for a $2000 Tattoo?


Tipping is always appreciated but never necessary. It is a way to show your tattoo artist appreciation for their skill and effort. Artist not only work during the appointment but also put in many hours before hand drawing and perfecting designs. It’s a nice gesture to acknowledge their dedication. If you’re unsure, you can always ask the studio about their tipping etiquette. Generally, tipping betwee 15% to 20% of the total cost is considered standard.





Preparing for Your Tattoo Appointment


Getting ready for your tattoo session can make a big difference in how comfortable and smooth the experience is. Here are some practical tips I’ve found helpful:


  1. Hydrate well - Drink plenty of water before your appointment to keep your skin healthy.

  2. Avoid alcohol and blood thinners - These can increase bleeding during tattooing.

  3. Get a good night’s sleep - Being well-rested helps you tolerate the process better.

  4. Wear comfortable clothing - Choose clothes that give easy access to the area being tattooed.

  5. Eat a meal beforehand - Having food in your stomach helps prevent dizziness.


Also, bring any reference images or ideas you want to share with your artist. This helps them understand your vision clearly.


Embracing Your New Tattoo with Confidence


After your tattoo session, proper aftercare is key to ensuring your new artwork heals beautifully. We will provide specific instructions, but here are some general guidelines:


  • Keep the tattoo clean and dry.

  • Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer or Aquaphor

  • Avoid direct sunlight and swimming until healed.

  • Don’t pick or scratch the tattoo.

  • See our blog on aftercare and the aftercare section of this site


It’s normal to experience some redness and tenderness, but if you notice signs of infection or unusual pain, contact your artist and a healthcare professional.


Getting a tattoo is a personal journey, and it’s okay to feel a mix of excitement and nerves. Remember, you’re investing in a piece of art that will be with you forever. Take your time choosing the right artist and design, and don’t hesitate to ask questions along the way.


If you’re curious about exploring unique tattoo artistry in Mays Landing, we encourage you to visit our studio, chat with us, and see our portfolios.
