Tattooing Ethos

Our tattoo session is an intimate exchange and a gentle pocket of time that we will share. It is important that you be just an involved in the process as your artist — in other words, it's a collaborative effort. We are here to hold space for you and us, to hear you and see you, and to be in this process together.

THE INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARTIST AND CLIENT

We welcome and celebrate you exactly as you are. We are always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have regarding your tattoo session, or any question in general. For example, if you are wondering how a certain color will look on your skin tone or how a tattoo might heal over a scar, we are available to chat! Whatever you need to feel comfortable, seen, and heard, we are here to provide to the best of our abilities.

"I’ve gotten a few tattoos at this shop, I really appreciate how inclusive they are. As a woman of color I haven’t had the best experience in other shops, Made is the first place I’ve been to that actually puts the client first. They create a welcoming space that made me feel comfortable enough to ask questions and really feel heard before getting my tattoo. Highly highly recommend."

"I cannot recommend Chloé enough. She answered all my questions before my appointment via email and then day of she made sure I was comfortable. She took her time to ensure I liked the placement of my tattoo and then was really patient with me (it was my first one!) I also felt so special when she took pictures and a video of the tattoo. The shop in general is beautiful and very comfortable. I will be back!"
