Big pieces take more than one sitting. We will tell you that up front.

What we do

Six things people come in for

We are dedicated to providing our customers with high quality tattoos and a clean, comfortable environment to receive them in. That is the whole pitch, and it has not changed since 2016.

01

Custom work

Bring us an idea, a reference, a rough scribble on the back of a receipt. We draw it up and talk it through with you before any needle comes out.

02

Cover-ups

The thing we get asked for most. If you have something you would rather not look at any more, bring it in and we will tell you honestly what can be done with it.

03

Color

Traditional, illustrative, whatever the piece wants. The owl, the sunflower and the R2-D2 above are all ours.

04

Black and gray

Skulls, laurels, portraits of a pet's name. Quieter on the skin and it ages well.

05

Lettering and script

Names, dates, a word that matters. We will set it properly rather than pull it off a font menu.

06

Walk-ins

We take walk-ins all day. If we have the time you can be in the chair the same afternoon. If you want a particular day, book it.

Who is in the shop

Adam and Seth

We have been tattooing in Warrensburg since 2016, and a lot of the ink walking around this town came off our benches. Plenty more of it left with people who were only passing through.

Ask for Adam by name, or for Seth, or take whoever is free. Cover-ups mostly land with Seth, and that is the thing we get asked for more than anything else. Every other kind of piece, either of us will happily take on.

Either way you get the same thing: somebody who listens to what you actually want, tells you straight what will and will not work on skin, and takes the time to do it right.

“Drove 4 hours one time just because the atmosphere is great.”

Seth is amazing at cover ups!!

My daughter has gotten two pieces done here and both have turned out just as she wanted them to. The artist listened to her each time and was able to give her great experiences.

Have had Adam do a couple of my tattoos, and did an amazing job. I would recommend him to anybody wanting a tattoo! The shop is great, and has an awesome atmosphere!

Scott CoenAugust 2025

Love the work they do. Laid back atmosphere. Good about listening to what you want & explaining what will work best for you. I've gotten several tattoos from there & have been happy with the outcome every time :)

Katlyn SmithJune 2023

Excellent artistry, clean studio, very professional. Adam and Seth are amusing and go out of their way to ensure client's needs are met. I will definitely go back the next time I'm getting a tattoo.
