Custom Tattoos
We create custom tattoos tailored to individual preferences. Our artists collaborate with clients to transform ideas into unique designs. The process includes free consultations and reference image discussions to ensure precise execution. Clients receive detailed aftercare instructions and free touch-ups within three months.
Neo-Traditional Tattoos
Our Neo-traditional tattoos combine classic themes with contemporary techniques. Artists use bold outlines and vibrant colors to create dynamic compositions. This style emphasizes detailed linework and shading while maintaining traditional tattoo symbolism with modern artistic interpretation.
Watercolor Tattoos
Watercolor tattoos feature fluid color transitions and painterly effects. Our specialists use gradient techniques to mimic brush strokes on skin. This style requires precise pigment application to maintain vibrancy while achieving an ethereal, artistic appearance.
Realism Tattoos
Realism tattoos recreate photographic accuracy through detailed shading and texture work. Artists focus on precise depth perception and lighting effects. This style demands exceptional technical skill to translate three-dimensional subjects into permanent skin art.
Tattoo Consultations
Free 15-30 minute consultations help develop tattoo concepts. Clients discuss placement, reference images, and design preferences with artists. The session includes sketch development and procedural explanations. Consultations require advance scheduling through our email contact system.

Level Up is very clean and the atmosphere is super chill. Trent is an incredibly talented artist who actually listens and takes the time to care about your concerns. He has a great sense of humor and I felt very comfortable with him. I can't recommend him enough!

What an amazing shop. Michael has been putting in the hours (20+) on my leg sleeve and it is AMAZING! Fun atmosphere, classic films and nerd culture everywhere, and he is so easy to talk to. Sometimes he tortures me, then he makes me laugh and forget it. ill be a life long client for sure - until I run out of space!
