Hotels & Hospitality

An amenity that looks like it was always part of the property.

A private tattoo residency, designed to feel native to your hotel — a quiet, considered experience your guests take home as a permanent reminder of the stay.

Residency Model

A reason to come back. And a reason to talk about it on the way out.

A five-star hotel lives on the details other properties overlook. A tattoo residency is one of those details — a curated, on-property experience that makes the stay feel current, considered, and a little more rare. The flash is drawn for your aesthetic, the styling matches the room, and the artist feels like part of the house. Your guests leave with a permanent keepsake tied to a single weekend at your address. They talk about it for years. They come back to get another one.

Engagement Timeline

About 6 weeks from first call to live residency

Six weeks is usually enough. Rushed programs we've done in four. A flagship property we've worked with for three years runs on an eight-week rhythm.

Step 1

Programming Brief

A short call with your programming, marketing, and spa leads to align on the residency arc — the weekend, the season, or the long-term series.

Step 2

Property Walkthrough

We visit the suite, the lounge, the spa, or wherever the residency will live. Power, water, lighting, sight lines — all confirmed in advance.

Step 3

Compliance & Insurance

County health permits, your COI, our COI, and guest waivers. We move quietly with your legal and operations teams and don't need to be managed.

Step 4

Custom Flash & Styling

Flash drawn for your aesthetic, signage and aprons matched to the room, aftercare kits branded to the property. Reviewed in Figma with two rounds built in.

Step 5

Activation Week

Crew arrives two hours prior, sets up quietly, runs the residency across the agreed window. Guests, members, and press are looked after the entire time.

Our Team Structure

Purpose-built for events

To ensure safety, speed, and hospitality, we do not send solo artists.

01

Tattoo Artist

Licensed, BBP (Bloodborne Pathogen) certified, and event- trained. They focus exclusively on precise tattooing—not logistics or cleaning.

02

Tattoo Assistant

Preps the skin, places the custom stencils, sterilizes the station, and briefs guests on aftercare. Speeds up transition time to under 2 minutes.

03

Check-In Host

Manages iPad check-ins, digital waivers, flash sheet navigation, and waitlist queuing. RBS-trained to discreetly monitor sobriety.

04

Event Coordinator

Manages load-in, logistics, health department sign-offs, and serves as the single point of contact for your event planning team.

Residency Flash
