For as long as I can remember, the tattoo world has been extremely “taboo” or at least a little rough around the edges as far as the studio and overall experience goes. Although tattoos themselves are widely more accepted in society, most shops have not made the necessary changes that make walking into a studio comfortable. No natural sunlight, artists taking smoke breaks every 30 minutes, no distracting entertainment, or heavy metal music blasting …

All of that ends now!

My name is Chris Collins, and I am an artsy fartsy dude that LOVES to be creative. Whether I am designing a tattoo, building a home, or doing a school project with my kids, I absolutely love the creative design process and watching it all come together in the end. Born and raised both here locally, and also in Boston Massachusetts, I am a heavily tattooed dad to five amazing kids and loving husband to a smoking hot and equally heavy tattooed queen. With almost 30 years of collecting tattoos and over 10 years of professional experience as a tattooer, I fell in love with the art, design, creativity, and most of all getting to know my clients. I feel like most of my regulars are basically family at this point. I also discovered along the way that not everyone wants to be treated rudely or disregarded because they don’t “look” like they should be in a tattoo studio. Not everyone wants to listen to screamo or death metal music when they are already hurting and/or slightly terrified of the unwelcoming or misunderstood atmosphere. As my career progressed from SLC to Boston to Nashville back to Utah I found that my clients preferred a nice clean, (you would HOPE this would be a guarantee but not always) bright, welcoming, open but comfortable and safe space when they are being tattooed. They actually enjoyed talking, being treated as a normal person regardless of how many tattoos they had and they loved watching T.V. or choosing their own genre of music to keep them relaxed was a bonus.

So I took all of those ideas and concepts and built a brand new stand alone studio, a studio that looks more like a med spa. Specifically tailored to my amazing clients and all of their ideas or requests over the years, and it is the perfect spot for anyone looking to get a new tattoo or continue collecting. But it is exclusive and appointments are mandatory so if you would like to book a consultation or even a studio tour let me know.
