Can’t wait until they finally re-open on campus… Andrea Escalante2025-04-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Got my first tattoo here almost a month ago and the experience was fantastic! He was very understanding- I made a lot of edits and last minute changes and he was always willing to accommodate; when there was a mishap on my end, he immediately offered to do a little something extra to fix my mistake. He chatted with me throughout the whole process and checked in with me all throughout. I did the aftercare as he instructed and the healing is perfect! 10/10, would go again :) Chloé PERILLAT2025-04-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Ink Vision is a fantastic tattoo shop with a truly welcoming vibe. The staff there is great, and they go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. During my visit, the guy at the front desk greeted me warmly and checked up on me the entire time while my tattoo artist set up her station. He was super friendly and even offered me water, which was a nice touch. The attention to customer service at Ink Vision really stood out to me, and it made my experience there even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a place where you'll be treated with kindness and professionalism, Ink Vision is definitely worth a visit!

We are proud to offer a one-of-a-kind space where creativity meets professionalism, providing students, staff, and visitors with a safe and welcoming environment to express themselves.
Our mission is to bring your vision to life through custom tattoos and precision piercings, delivered with exceptional care and artistry. Each piece we create is thoughtfully designed in collaboration with our clients, ensuring every tattoo and piercing is as unique as the person wearing it.
At Ink Vision, hygiene and safety are non-negotiable. We follow strict sterilization protocols and use only high-quality equipment and jewelry. Whether you’re getting your first tattoo or adding to a growing collection, our team is here to make the experience unforgettable—from consultation to aftercare.
Do I need to book an appointment, or do you accept walk-ins?
While we highly recommend booking an appointment to guarantee your spot, we do accept walk-ins when availability permits. However, our artists often have busy schedules, so reserving in advance ensures you get the time and artist you want. You can book directly through our website or by contacting us via phone or email.
How should I prepare for my tattoo or piercing session?
We suggest getting a good night’s sleep, staying hydrated, and eating a full meal before your appointment. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed or pierced. Avoid alcohol or blood-thinning medications at least 24 hours before your session. If you have any health concerns, let us know ahead of time.
Is it safe to get tattooed or pierced at your studio?
Absolutely. At Ink Vision, we follow strict hygiene protocols that meet and exceed industry standards. All needles are single-use and disposed of immediately after each procedure. Our equipment is sterilized with hospital-grade autoclaves, and all artists wear gloves and use protective barriers throughout the process. Your safety is our top priority.
How much does a tattoo or piercing cost?
Tattoo pricing depends on the size, complexity, and placement of the design, as well as the artist’s rate. We offer both hourly rates and flat quotes for smaller pieces. Piercing prices vary depending on the location and jewelry you choose. We’re happy to provide estimates during a consultation—just reach out!
Do you offer aftercare instructions?
Yes! Aftercare is essential to healing and maintaining the quality of your tattoo or piercing. Our team will walk you through proper care steps before you leave and provide you with written instructions. We also offer high-quality aftercare products in-studio. If you have any questions during healing, don’t hesitate to contact us.
