CORAL CITY TATTOO

We primarily work by appointment to ensure each client receives the time and attention their piece requires. Walk-ins may be accepted depending on artist availability, but it’s best to call ahead or message us first.

Coral City Tattoo currently has three artists, each with their own style and specialties. When you inquire, we can help match you with the artist best suited for your design.

Our artists cover a wide range of styles, including fine line, black and grey, color pieces, traditional American, Japanese-style tattoos, Polynesian and tribal work, lettering, realism, and custom designs.

You can book by calling, texting, or reaching out through our website or social media. We’ll ask for your idea, placement, size, reference photos, and preferred artist.
