Get A Tattoo Perfectly Matched To Your Body Type And Personality

Professional tattoo services with free consultations to help you create ink that actually fits who you are

A good tattoo isn't just technically correct. 

It fits. 

The blank stare at Instagram feeds. 

The confusion between watercolor and geometric. 


The worry that you'll choose something you'll regret.

It reflects your actual personality, not what you think a tattoo should look like. 

It works with how you live your life, not against it.

That's what we help you create. And we start with a real conversation before any ink goes on your skin.

Why People Choose Our Tattoo Studio

We Match Tattoos To
People, Not Just Skin 

We go beyond just picking a design, taking your personality, style, and daily life into account to create a tattoo that truly fits you.

Experience With Almost
Every Style

From traditional to portraits, we’ve done it all on every body type, helping guide you to what truly fits your vision and frame.

Honest Conversations About What You Need To Know 

We’ll tell you if a design will age badly, doesn’t match your personality, is the wrong size, or conflicts with your lifestyle - better to be honest now than regret it later.

What We've Been Creating Lately

Artists Who've Seen Almost Everything

Alesha is the founder and owner of Black Tides Tattoo with years of experience and a genuine passion for creating tattoos that match each person’s unique style and body. She stays current with trends and techniques but never pushes what’s popular if it doesn’t suit who you are.

Our team has worked with nearly every style imaginable - delicate fine line work, bold traditional pieces, realistic portraits, geometric patterns, and cover-ups that fix old tattoos. Together, we’ve tattooed people getting their first small piece as well as those building full bodysuits, on every body type and location.

This range of experience shapes how we approach consultations. We’ve seen what happens when someone chooses a style that doesn’t fit their personality - and the opposite when they do. That’s why we offer free consultations: to make sure your tattoo genuinely fits you from the start.

Work with experienced artists who listen to your vision, match styles to your personality, and create tattoos that fit seamlessly into your daily life.

Frequently Asked Questions

"How long does a tattoo consultation typically take?"

Usually 20-30 minutes, but we take as much time as you need. Some people know exactly what they want and just need feedback. Others need help developing their concept from scratch. Both are fine.

“Do I need to have a design ready?”

No. Some people come in with reference images and a clear vision. Others just have a general idea or a feeling they want to express. We can work with either. The consultation helps you figure out what direction makes sense.

"Can you tell me if my idea is bad?"

Yes. If we think a design won't work, won't age well, or doesn't match what you're trying to express, we'll tell you. We'd rather have an honest conversation than let you get something you'll regret.

"What if I'm not sure about the style?"

That's normal. Many people know what feeling they want to capture but don't know which tattoo style expresses it best. We can show you examples of different approaches and help you narrow it down.

“What if I already have tattoos and want to add more?”

We can help you plan new work that fits with what you already have. Whether you want pieces to connect into a larger collection or you want standalone work that still feels cohesive, we'll talk through options that make sense.

"Do you work with first-timers?"

Absolutely. We explain the entire process, answer every question, and help you choose something that makes sense for a first tattoo. No judgment. No rushing. Just patient guidance.
