Side Show Studios takes pride in providing high quality custom tattoos and fine art. Our skilled artists are always happy to work with you to create the perfect piece of art just for you. We are a female owned studio with both male and female artists in the shop We host gallery receptions every month featuring both our own artists and ones from the local, regional and national scenes. We believe creativity exists in more than one medium. If you haven’t come to our studio before, attending a Second Saturday gallery reception just might be the perfect way to experience our studio for the first time. Our artists are also active at showing at other galleries all over. If you are interested in seeing them show in your area have one of your local galleries contact us. :)
Our focus on customer service and a clean well lit studio provides our clients with a great atmosphere in which to get their work done. 3000sq/ft ensure you have your own space when getting tattooed. Our staff is always willing to take the time to make you as comfortable as possible. We also maintain a high standard of cleanliness and sterilization. Our artists follow strict guidelines in regards to protecting the health and well being of every client. If you ever have any questions on how or why we do things, we will be happy to explain everything step by step. So, if you or one of you friends is thinking about getting a tattoo, stop by and talk to us. We can do any style, any size, anywhere.

In addition to tattooing, we have an active gallery space. Many of our artists were artists in other mediums prior to starting to tattoo. We have Second Saturday gallery receptions every month. Many of our tattoo artists also show at other galleries throughout the year. If you are an artist or musician interested in showing or performing in our gallery, let us know. We are always trying to think of new ways to make art more accessible to everyone!
