"Had such a great experience with Genesis! So kind and welcoming, but that’s only the beginning. Her work is absolutely beautiful and I can’t wait to get more from her in the future:) It was honestly one of the best experiences I have had in a shop in a long time and it was so refreshing. Thank you again!!"

Your Story, Your SkinThis Isn't Just a Tattoo, It's Your Story on Your Skin
Every piece starts with listening to what matters most to you.
Whether it's a memorial, a milestone, or something you've imagined for years. Every piece starts with listening to what matters most to you.
Free consultation. No obligation.
Your Vision, Not TheirsThe Wrong Artist Can Turn Your Vision Into Their Project
You've seen the horror stories. Someone walks in with a meaningful idea and walks out with something that doesn't feel like theirs. The artist didn't listen. Pushed their own style. Rushed through the consultation. And now that person is stuck with a permanent reminder of a bad experience.
It happens more than it should. Studios that treat you like a number. Artists more interested in their portfolio than your story. Shops where first-timers feel judged for asking questions.
That's not how it works here.
At Die Lovely Ink, your story comes first. We listen before we sketch. We ask the right questions. And when we collaborate on your piece, it's a conversation, not a takeover.
- Your tattoo, your vision, we collaborate with you, not over you
- First-timers get extra time and zero judgment
- Honest guidance on placement, size, and style that serves your idea
- A space where everyone belongs, no attitude, no gatekeeping
Too many artists don't listen. They push their style, rush the process, and leave you with something that doesn't feel like yours.
At Die Lovely Ink, your story comes first. We listen. We collaborate. And your tattoo stays yours.
- We collaborate with you, not over you
- First-timers welcome, zero judgment
- Honest guidance that serves your idea
We listen first. Your vision stays yours.
Don't Just Take Our Word For It
"David was phenomenal. I just happened to get a random ad on Instagram about him coming to the GroveTown Tattoo Expo and hit him up about an idea after looking through what he had already done and having a feeling he could bring my idea to life. He absolutely did and with his original design we ended up taking home best medium color at the show. Even Sierra, another artist from the shop took home 2 awards that Saturday as well. Damn good artists, couldn't thank him enough"
"I’ve gotten 3 tattoos so far as part of my sleeve and Yayo has done an amazing job so far. He shades/highlights everything perfectly and gives great directions on cleaning/maintaining the tattoo. Thank you Yayo!"
"Great shop! Chris (ig:trashpandatatts) was awesome! Great pricing and clean shop. All the other artists were friendly and welcoming as well! Will be back."

"I’ve had a few pieces done by Chris and have no complaints. I had an excellent experience here. The shop is clean and well-located. Pricing is fair, and his work is amazing, especially color pieces. On top of that, he’s a really cool guy who makes the whole experience comfortable. The other artists in the shop also seem really chill and friendly. Definitely recommend Die Lovely for your next (or first!) tattoo."
"This place is amazing ! I booked with Chris for my first and second tattoo and they both came out so great. Make sure you guys book with Chris you will have no regrets. I absolutely love my tattoos"

Our Values
Die Lovely Ink exists to create lasting art rooted in love, meaning, and identity – tattoos that honor your story and stay with you for life.
It’s About Artistry, Not Just Application
At Die Lovely Ink, we’re not just “doing tattoos.” We’re creating lasting art — intentional, elevated, and built to stand the test of time. Every piece is crafted with purpose, care and true artistry... not rushed work or copy-and-paste ink.
It’s About Collaboration, Not Transaction
We don’t believe in quick transactions — we believe in connection. The relationship between artist and client matters here. Every tattoo is a shared process: listening, creating, refining, and turning someone’s vision into something real — something they’ll wear with pride for life.
It’s About Sanctuary & Story, Not Intimidation
Die Lovely Ink is a sanctuary — not an ego-driven, old-school shop environment. We intentionally create a space that feels safe, modern, inclusive, and welcoming... whether you’re a first-time client or a loyal long-time client. And we never forget what tattoos truly are: a story. Every piece is a chapter in someone’s life — love, pain, healing, growth, identity — carried forever.
“With love and ink, ‘til death do us part.”
