The Artists

Destiny Parlier

Destiny is our resident blackwork and fine-line specialist, known for turning skin into bold, story-driven art. Her work balances high-contrast black ink with delicate, precise linework, creating pieces that feel both powerful and refined. She has a huge passion for anime and cartoon-inspired tattoos, bringing characters and scenes to life with sharp black and white or bold, saturated color. Whether it’s a subtle nod to a favorite series or a full, dramatic piece, Destiny knows how to pack personality and emotion into every design. Floral tattoos are another one of her signatures. From soft, romantic blooms and fine-line botanicals to darker, more dramatic floral compositions, she can tailor each piece to match your vibe—feminine, edgy, minimal, or ornate. Destiny is absolutely the feminine touch of our shop, offering a softer side without losing any of the intensity or impact. She’s the perfect artist for clients who want tattoos that feel personal, expressive, and beautifully crafted, with a strong focus on detail and custom design.

Avien Parker

Avien is a versatile tattoo artist with a deep love for black and white realism. His work focuses on bold contrast, smooth shading, and fine detail that makes every piece feel alive on the skin. While realism is his favorite lane, he’s truly a jack of all styles. Avien is just as comfortable building powerful Japanese compositions as he is crafting clean, timeless traditional designs. He also excels at large script, fine line work, and high‑contrast pieces that read clearly from across the room. Whether you’re after a soft, subtle black and grey portrait or a striking, graphic design with sharp edges and depth, Avien approaches every tattoo with the same level of care, planning, and precision so your piece heals beautifully and holds up for years.

Professional Services

All prices listed are for the $60 deposit to hold your tattoo appointment and it is the shop minimum. There is a $35 minimum for piercing appointments, as most piercings are $35. These deposits will be subtracted from your total price at the end of your session. If a client is 1 hour late, their time slot is forfeited and they will need to either wait in person for availability (losing the deposit) or make a new appointment and deposit. We do accept walk-in's as appointments permit, but know you may walk in during somone's appointment and have a longer wait.
