Why not just hire a solo artist from a local shop?

You can. A solo artist does 1-2 tattoos an hour, carries their own permits in most states, and has never been trained to read a room at an event. Our setup does 3-5 per artist, handles every permit, and the artist is only ever tattooing. The difference is the three other people around them.

We've never done tattoos at our event. What does it actually look like?

A 10×10 footprint, two professional stations, adjustable lighting, and a check-in stand. Guests scan a QR code, sign a digital waiver, pick from the flash sheet, and get a text when it's their turn. No physical line. No congestion. It looks like it belongs in the room — designed to match your event, not dropped in from a convention center.

A lot of our guests have never been tattooed. Is that going to be a problem?

It's the opposite of a problem — it's the most common scenario. A huge share of guests get their first tattoo at our events. Free + a small curated flash sheet + a 10-minute commitment dissolves the friction that normally stops people. The host quietly moves nervous guests to the front. The check-in person walks them through it. The artist knows how to handle a first-timer.

How do you handle guests who've had too much to drink?

Our check-in hosts are RBS-trained (Responsible Beverage Service). They monitor the queue and quietly move anyone who's had too much down the waitlist. No confrontation, no awkwardness, no scene. The guest just gets a later text. This is one of the reasons we don't send solo artists — someone has to be the buffer, and it shouldn't be the person holding the needle.

What happens if something goes wrong?

Every artist is licensed with current Bloodborne Pathogen training. Single-use equipment on every guest. $2 million in liability insurance, with your company added as additional insured. We've given over 2,800 tattoos across five years. Zero safety incidents. If a guest needs a touch-up, it's covered for 30 days at our partner studios — though across thousands of event tattoos, no one ever has.

Can we see the flash before the event?

Yes. Our in-house illustrator designs the sheet with you — two rounds of review, then we print. You'll see every design before event day. We typically start with 20-25 concepts and narrow to 10-15. The sheet is built around your event: your brand, your city, your couple, your theme. No two events share a sheet.

We're a luxury brand. How do you make sure this doesn't feel gimmicky?

The flash is custom-illustrated for your aesthetic. Our staff dresses to match the room — blacked out, costumed, or in normal clothes. The station is styled, not clinical. We've set up in hotel lobbies, ballroom floors, and private estates. The goal is to look like we were always part of it, not like a booth got dropped in from outside.

What Your Venue Needs to Know.

The one-pager our team sends to the venue. What we bring, what we need, and the small number of things that are non-negotiable.

Space

10×10 ft for a single-artist setup. Indoor or outdoor. The footprint is contained, the station is dressed in black, and the activation reads as the venue — not as a vendor footprint.

Water

A plumbed wash station within the same building is legally required. A standard restroom or kitchen sink satisfies the requirement for most jurisdictions.

Power

Standard 110V outlets within 10 ft of each station. Must not share a circuit with high-draw equipment (e.g. DJ gear, catering heaters).

Lighting

Tattoo-grade task lighting travels with the crew. Dim venue lighting is fine. Outdoor activations need covered area for the station or shade from direct sun.

Permits

Support is ready or handled for you end-to-end. Temporary body art permit, county health department registration, and venue-specific approvals. Most major markets take 30 to 60 days.

Load-in / Load-out

Crew arrives 2 to 3 hours before doors. For multi-station setups, we prefer to load-in at least 1 day before the event. Load-out is 1-2 hr from close to cleared.

Requirements and recommendations above might change per State, City and Venue
