Raleigh Tattoo Co.

Raleigh Tattoo Co. is a tattoo studio that does custom work in a range of styles, with a particular focus on Japanese designs, black and grey realism, flower pieces and custom lettering. The shop says it works closely with clients from first idea through final design, whether the piece is a small minimalist tattoo or a large composition such as a full sleeve or back piece. Cover-up work is also part of what the studio offers.

The studio is at 1000 Brookside Drive in Raleigh and serves clients from Durham, Cary and the wider Triangle. Pricing is set by the artist's experience and the complexity of the design, and the material gives a range of roughly $60 an hour for newer artists to $100 to $200 an hour for established ones. Consultations come before custom pieces, and the shop states it follows sterilization practices and keeps a clean, comfortable space for first-time clients.
