What comes off the machine

Eight ways to get tattooed here.

Straight from the studio’s own words: custom work, your designs or his, and whatever style the piece needs.

01Custom work

Bring a reference or bring nothing. Billy draws the piece before the machine ever comes out, and you approve the drawing first.

02Black & gray

Smooth gray wash and hard black — the bulk of the wall above. Roses, skulls, portraits, memorial pieces.

03Full color

Packed, saturated color that still reads from across a room three years later.

04Traditional

Bold line, limited palette, built to age. The stuff that still looks like a tattoo in 2050.

05Neo-traditional

Traditional bones, deeper rendering and a wider palette — the style most of the sleeve work on this page is built on.

06Japanese

Flow that wraps the limb instead of sitting on it. Planned as one piece even if it takes several sittings.

07Anime & illustrative

Line-led character work, lettering panels and illustrative pieces drawn to your reference.

08Lettering & script

Names, dates, scripture, memorial dates. Spaced and weighted so it stays readable as skin moves.

You want it,
I’ll take care of it.
— Billy, SK-Tattoo1

The studio

A shop the size of one person.

SK-Tattoo1 sits on 45th Street in Meridian and runs on one set of hands. That means the drawing, the stencil, the line and the healing advice all come from the same artist — and the schedule is his, so a piece gets the time it actually needs.

Sixteen people have rated the studio on Google and it sits at 4.8. Nobody is passed around here.

He’ll tell you what it takes.

A consult is a conversation, not a commitment — size, placement, how many sittings, what it costs. Fastest route is the phone; the form reaches the same place.
