Looking for a Tattoo? A Piercing?

My Philosophy on Tattooing is Simple:

Each tattoo should be as perfect as possible and should be unique to that person. Each design is special to the client and each client is special to me.

Chris Howton is an award winning artist who believes each tattoo is particular to the client. Each should be done only once, not mass produced. He started tattooing in 1993, before it was popular, and has been trained in almost every tattoo style. He has seen – and fixed - many pieces done by half-ass tattooists. He has had other shops and has traveled all around the country tattooing. He knows the only way to achieve a one-on-one relationship with customers is to listen to what you want and draw that for you.

Stop by the shop and see. It starts with a consultation, and then the piece is drawn, sized to fit, and, finally, tattooed. Afterward, the designs are destroyed so that they will never be duplicated. Chris does not sell designs as flash.

Visit the portfolio page for examples of his work. He welcomes big pieces but will also do little ones. He frequently works with flame pieces, oriental, black and gray, animated, and cover-up’s. He loves a challenge.

Any questions, call the shop at (205)330-1070, or come in Monday - Saturday 1:00pm - 9:00pm.
