The studio we wanted to work in.
Vera Kholin spent fifteen years in loud, rushed shops before building the calm, careful one she'd always imagined.
She loved the craft and hated the culture around it — the ego, the pressure, the feeling that a client was a number. Ironwood is the correction: unhurried, spotless, and built entirely around doing right by the person in the chair.
Every piece here is custom, drawn from scratch. We hand-pick a small crew of genuine specialists — fine-line, color, Japanese, traditional — so whatever you're after, someone here has spent years mastering exactly that.
Single-use everything, a hospital-grade clean, a free consult, and a free touch-up. Take the craft seriously, take yourself lightly — a tattoo day should be one of the good ones.
Drawn for you
Every piece is original, designed from scratch with you — never a stencil someone else already wore.
Spotless & single-use
Hospital-grade sterilization, single-use needles, and a studio you could eat off the floor of.
No ego, no rush
Free consults, honest advice, and a relaxed chair — especially if it's your first.
