Ossuary.
Tattoo Co.
Permanent work for people who mean it. Four resident artists and one private studio on South Broadway, with one standard that doesn't bend: it has to look right in forty years.

§ 00 — The standard
We don't chase trends. We tattoo things that will still be worth wearing when you're eighty.
Drawn for you
Custom work is drawn from scratch and never repeated. Your piece doesn't go back in a binder for the next person who walks in.
Clinical where it counts
Single-use needles, medical-grade barrier film, and an autoclave that's spore-tested monthly. The room is dark. The station is spotless.
Honest, not agreeable
If an idea will blur, fade, or age badly at the size you want, we'll tell you, and then draw you something better.
§ 01 — The roster
Four hands.
No guests.
Every artist at Ossuary is a full-time resident with at least seven years behind the machine. Open a portfolio and pick the one whose work stops you cold.
§ 02 — The flash wall
Drawn once.
Worn once.
Every design on this wall gets tattooed exactly one time, then it's retired for good. Claim one and we'll hold it for 72 hours while we confirm your date.

Session
Eat a real meal, sleep, and hydrate. Bring a valid ID. We handle the rest.

the book.
Reference . Keep it handy for your consult.
§ 04 — Aftercare
Heal it
right.
Half of a great tattoo is what you do over the next four weeks. Follow this and it heals sharp. Ignore it and no artist on earth can save it.
- First 24 hours
Leave the wrap on.
We seal it with a medical film. Keep it on a full day, even if it fills with ink and plasma. That's normal. Peel it off slowly under warm running water.
- Days 2–7
Wash. Dry. Thin layer.
Wash twice a day with unscented soap and clean hands. Pat dry with a paper towel, never a bath towel. Rub in a rice-grain amount of unscented balm.
- Weeks 2–4
Let it flake.
It will peel and itch like a sunburn. Tap it, don't scratch it. Switch to a fragrance-free lotion once or twice a day.
- Forever
Sunscreen. Always.
UV is what kills tattoos. Put SPF 50 on healed work whenever it sees daylight. Touch-ups are free within 90 days if anything heals light.
For two weeks, never:
- Soak it. No baths, pools, hot tubs, lakes, or ocean.
- Put it in direct sun or a tanning bed.
- Re-wrap it in plastic after the first day.
- Use petroleum jelly, scented lotion, or anything with alcohol.
- Let shared gym equipment or your pets rub against it.
