MILO VANCE
Lead Artist — Geometric & Neo-Traditional
12 years in the game. Milo's geometric work has been featured in Inked Magazine three times running. His neo-traditional animal portraits carry a 6-month waitlist for a reason.

How It Works

THE PROCESS

We move at the right pace. Every tattoo starts with a conversation, not a countdown timer.

01
SUBMIT YOUR CONSULTATION
Fill out our booking form with your idea, placement, size, and preferred artist. We review every request personally and respond within 48 hours with availability.
02
DESIGN COLLABORATION
Your artist creates a custom design based on your brief. We share sketches, gather feedback, and refine until it's exactly right — before we ever pick up a machine.
03
THE SESSION
A calm, clean, private studio session. Breaks when you need them. Music you like. No pressure. Just the work.
04
AFTERCARE & TOUCH-UP
We provide detailed aftercare instructions and a free touch-up within 90 days if anything heals imperfectly. We're with you until it's healed and perfect.
"No two clients are the same. No two tattoos should be either." — Milo Vance, Lead Artist
INK DISTRICT operates on an appointment-only basis. We don't do walk-ins — because the work requires it. Your design deserves more than a spare hour on a Saturday.

Client Words

WHAT THEY SAY

★★★★★
"Milo spent two hours on the design alone before we even booked the session. I've been tattooed by maybe eight artists in my life and the level of care here is genuinely different. The piece came out beyond anything I could have imagined."
JK
Jordan K.
Geometric sleeve — 14 hours total
★★★★★
"Rosa did a memorial piece for me after losing my dad. She asked the right questions, didn't rush anything, and the finished work made me cry in the best way. I tell everyone who asks about my tattoos: go to INK DISTRICT."
TM
Taylor M.
Memorial watercolor — rib placement
★★★★★
"Kai's black and grey realism is on another level. I brought a reference photo and what came back was better than the photo. Three sessions for a full back piece and every single one was absolutely worth it."
AL
Alex L.
Realism back piece — 3 sessions
