More Than a Shop —
A Place Where You Belong

Painted Ivy Tattoo was born from a simple belief: everyone deserves a tattoo studio that feels as good as the art coming out of it. Located right on High Street in the heart of Wadsworth, we've built a space where first-timers and seasoned collectors alike feel welcome, informed, and genuinely cared for.

We take the time to understand what you're looking for — whether it's a small meaningful piece, a bold statement, or a complete transformation of an old design. Every session is handled with sterile, professional standards and a personal touch that makes the whole experience comfortable from start to finish.

Custom-First Approach Every design is original and made for you
Hygiene-First Studio Single-use needles, sterilized equipment, always
Relaxed Atmosphere Music, breaks, and zero pressure — your pace

From Idea to Ink

Four simple steps to get your custom tattoo — no stress, no confusion.

01

Reach Out

Call, email, or fill out our form. Tell us what you're thinking — even if it's just a vague idea. We'll help you shape it.

02

Design Together

We'll create a custom design based on your vision. Revisions are part of the process — we won't stop until it's right.

03

Session Day

Arrive relaxed, hydrated, and ready. We'll get you comfortable, transfer the design, and bring it to life on your skin.

04

Heal & Enjoy

Follow our aftercare guide, keep that area clean, and watch your new tattoo come alive. We're here if you have questions along the way.

Everything You Need to Know

First tattoos are a big deal — and it's completely normal to feel nervous. We've worked with hundreds of first-timers, and we take extra care to make the experience comfortable. You'll get a consultation beforehand, we'll go at your pace, and breaks are always welcome. Just show up and let us handle the rest.

Get a good night's sleep, eat a solid meal before you come in, and stay hydrated. Wear comfortable clothing that gives us access to the area being tattooed. Avoid alcohol the night before — it thins your blood and makes the session harder. That's basically it!

We welcome walk-ins for smaller pieces when the schedule allows, but appointments are recommended — especially for larger or custom work. This ensures we give your session our full, uninterrupted attention. Call or email to book, and we'll find a time that works.

Pricing depends on size, detail, placement, and how long the piece will take. We always provide a clear estimate before you commit — no hidden fees, no surprises. Reach out with your idea and we'll give you an honest conversation about cost and timeline.

Absolutely — references are a great starting point. We'll adapt and customize whatever you bring to make it work as a tattoo, considering placement, scale, and how it'll age on skin. If you'd like something more original, we're happy to design something unique for you too.

After your session, we'll wrap the area and walk you through aftercare step by step. The basics: keep it clean, moisturize lightly, avoid soaking or direct sun while it heals, and don't pick at any scabbing. Most tattoos heal fully in 2–3 weeks. We'll give you written instructions and we're always a call away if anything comes up.
