Skulls & Roses is a premier private tattoo collective dedicated to high-end custom artwork, ultimate sterility, and an elite luxury experience.
Founded on the principles of fine art, uncompromising sterility, and bespoke customer service, Skulls & Roses exists to translate your ideas into stunning visual monuments. Located in an elegant, state-of-the-art studio, we host a curated group of award-winning artists specializing in diverse styles.
Every project starts with a detailed consultation. We design each piece from scratch, ensuring it conforms to the natural contours of your body and remains timeless in quality.
No templates. Every design is drawn specifically for you.
Hospital-grade sterilization protocols and organic vegan inks.
Keep the medical protective adhesive bandage on for the first 24 hours. It shields the raw open wound from dirt, contaminants, and friction.
Alcohol thins your blood and causes excessive bleeding/ink pushing. Intense workouts lead to sweat buildup and skin stretching that damages healing skin lines.
Wash your tattoo with lukewarm water and mild, unscented antibacterial soap. Use your hands only; do not use washcloths or abrasive sponges.
After washing, pat dry with a clean paper towel. Apply a very thin layer of recommended aftercare balm (e.g. Aquaphor or Hustle Butter). Skin must breathe.
As the tattoo heals, it will flake, peel, and itch. Scratching or picking flakes will pull ink out of the dermis, creating permanent light spots.
Never submerge a healing tattoo in pools, hot tubs, or ocean water. Protect it from direct sunlight. Once healed, always apply SPF 50+ sunscreen.

"Elena is a master of Neo-Traditional designs. The coloring on my dagger and rose chest piece is vibrant, and the healing process was flawless. The entire consultation wizard was super easy to use."

Pricing depends on size, detail, placement, and the specific artist. Marcus, Elena, and Kai have standard hourly rates starting at $150/hr, or full-day session rates ranging from $1,000 to $1,400. We offer free consultation sessions via our booking assistant to give you accurate estimates.
Get a full 8 hours of sleep the night before. Hydrate well and eat a hearty meal 2-3 hours before your appointment to keep your blood sugar up. Do not consume alcohol or aspirin for 24 hours prior, as these thin your blood. Wear comfortable clothing that provides easy access to the location being tattooed.
Our booking assistant creates a consultation ticket. We contact you to schedule an initial discussion (in-person or Zoom). Once the artist aligns on your concept and timeline, a reservation deposit is taken to secure your actual tattooing dates.
