North Loop tattoo studio tucked into the back patio of Double Trouble. "If the sign is on, we're available for walk-ins or booking your next appointment!" Three resident artists — Mark VanNess, Jake Mardon, and Catherine Fontenot — also operate a second appointment-only studio on the East Side. The name and ethos lean intimate and conversational: a quiet, considered process rather than a high-volume shop floor.
