Custom Tattoo Design

Our artists craft bespoke tattoos tailored to your body's shape and personal style. From initial concept to final execution, we ensure precision and artistry. Clients receive a free consultation to discuss ideas, timelines, and costs before booking sessions with a deposit.

Walk-In Tattoos

Available daily for smaller, single-session tattoos. Choose from in-store designs or bring your own reference. Quotes are provided on the spot, with no hourly rates applied. Walk-ins are accommodated based on artist availability.

Laser Tattoo Removal

Using the Fotona QX Max laser, we safely break down ink pigments for natural elimination. Treatments vary from $80 per session, depending on size and complexity. Multiple sessions spaced eight weeks apart are typically required for optimal results.

Day Rate Sessions

Cost-effective option for large tattoos requiring lengthy sessions. A flat rate of $1200 covers unlimited time in a single day, ensuring efficient progress on complex body suits or detailed work.

Free Consultations

Discuss your tattoo ideas with our artists to develop a custom plan. We cover design options, pricing, and scheduling during this no-obligation meeting, ensuring clarity before committing to a booking.

Thank You Grey Street, especially Christian, life savers. I had an appointment with a comepetitor who cancelled on me at the last minuted. I had planned & been looking forward to my tattoo for months, & this was my only day off. I asked for a reccommendation and they said Grey Street. I was a walk in & Christian went over and above to accommodate me. I came out with a huge smile on my face, an amazing tattoo & enjoyable experience. I'll be back and I would recommend Grey Street, especially Christian. Thank you.

This tattoo shop is an amazing space. The artist I saw was Christian, who has done other work for me at other studios. My experience was amazing, I love my new tattoo and all of the other artists were so welcoming and friendly. I would absolutely recommend Grey Street Tattoo (and Christian) to others. 10/10
