"I had a great experience getting my tattoo done by Katherine at Igla Tattoo Katherine was incredibly professional, she made me feel completely comfortable. I showed her a rough idea of what I want , and she brought my vision to life even better than I expected. The studio was clean and I’ve noticed repeat clients like myself . My ink healed beautifully thanks Katherine & to Igla thorough aftercare instructions.Posted on Google Reena KumarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Alex at IGLA Tattoo Studio was amazing! He was incredibly detailed, explained the entire healing process thoroughly, and really took his time to make sure I felt comfortable throughout the appointment. The whole experience was so relaxing, I even told him I felt like I could’ve fallen asleep because it barely hurt at all. You can tell he truly cares about his work and his clients. Highly recommend Alex if you’re looking for a professional, talented, and calming tattoo experience!Posted on Google Rheana BacchusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Our artists are so creative, and they’ll work with you to come up with something that suits your vibe—whether it’s something from our flash collection or a custom piece we can whip up right on the spot.

Before we dive in, our artists will have a quick chat with you about your design to make sure we’re all on the same page. This is your time to make sure everything’s exactly how you want it, from the design details to the placement.

Tattooing Process
Once everything’s good to go, the fun part starts! Our artists are pros at working quickly, but they don’t cut corners on quality. You’ll leave with a tattoo that’s not only super crisp and clean but will look amazing for years to come.
Aftercare
When your tattoo is all done, we’ll take the time to explain how to care for it so it heals beautifully. We want you to enjoy your new ink for a long time, so make sure to follow the aftercare instructions carefully—it’s worth it!
Frequently Asked Questions
About Walk Ins
Do I need to make an appointment for a walk-in tattoo?
Nope, you don’t need an appointment! Just swing by during our business hours, and we’ll do our best to fit you in.
What types of tattoos are available for walk-ins?
We offer a mix of flash tattoos (the ones you see in our collection) and custom designs. Whatever you’re in the mood for, our artists will help you create something amazing.
How long do walk-in tattoos take?
It really depends on the design. If it’s a smaller piece, it might take about 30 minutes to an hour. Bigger, more detailed designs will take a little longer, but we’ll keep you in the loop the whole time!
Can I get a custom design as a walk-in tattoo?
Of course! Our artists are always happy to create custom pieces. Just know that it might take a little longer, but trust us, it’ll be worth it.
Are walk-in tattoos cheaper than scheduled tattoos?
The price of your tattoo depends on its size and complexity. Usually, walk-in tattoos are priced the same as those booked in advance, but don’t hesitate to ask if you have any specific questions!
