No attitudes Free consultations Walk-ins always welcome

You're welcome here — questions included.

We're happy to answer every question we can — or guide you to someone who can. No pressure, no eye rolls, no making you feel small for asking.

We know what walking into a strange tattoo shop can feel like: the cool kids from school huddled at lunch, and you're the new kid looking for a seat — or even a friendly nod. At Work of Art, we lead with warmth that comes from a genuine heart of service.

Before I was a successful artist, I — Joshua Cole — was a successful waiter at high-end fine-dining rooms: Spago, Jonathan Bentley's, Ruth's Chris Steak House, and The Shore Room at the Renaissance (Greek-inspired). Each taught me to take real pleasure in helping people, getting to know them, and making them feel appreciated and valued.

Don't just get a tattoo or piercing — leave feeling valued. Like you made a lifelong friend, or reconnected with an old one.

Before you book

Pick the path that matches what you need

Most people land here with one of three questions: who should I book with, what will it cost, and whether the studio feels right. Start with the service that fits, then send references so we can point you the right way.

  • Tattoo consult: best for custom work, cover-ups, sleeves, portraits, fine line, and projects that need drawing time.
  • Piercing appointment: best for anatomy checks, jewelry upgrades, ear curation, and first-time piercings.
  • Just have questions: use the appointment form anyway; a quick note with photos is usually enough to get started.
