ABOUT US
The Collective Tattoo + Art Gallery rebranded in April 2025 because our vibe had evolved, and we wanted the outside of our shop to reflect what had grown inside it.
At our heart, The Collective is about people, stories, creativity, and connection. We’re an experimental, artist-led tattoo shop built around collaboration, continued growth, and creating a positively memorable experience for every person who walks through our doors. We love a good story, and we’re here to help you tell yours through body art.
We intentionally see one another as resources rather than competition: sharing knowledge, creativity, encouragement, and community. Our artists have a voice in shaping the shop, including having a say in who joins our collective. When we bring on a new resident artist, every artist participates in the process, and a unanimous “yes” is required. We believe the people who live and work in this space should also help shape and protect the culture we’re creating together.
We stay connected through monthly Create & Collaborate gatherings, where we make art together, share professional development, create content, workshop ideas, or offer constructive critique. Our monthly shop meetings give us space to talk about the business, our clients, and the evolving needs of our studio.
We don’t pretend our story is perfect. It’s deeply human, with challenges, growing pains, triumphs, mistakes, and plenty to celebrate. We’re committed to learning from the hard stuff, celebrating the good stuff, and continuing to evolve together.
Come check us out, meet our artists, and find the person whose creative voice speaks to you. We think you’ll love it here.
