Welcome to Beyond The Ink!

We believe, for many, that body art is not just a fashion statement, but a life statement. We believe that a picture is worth a thousand words. A good tat can communicate a message, a belief, and/or a connection to something greater than oneself. For you, it may be a connection to your past, a statement about your present, or an orientation towards the future.

Whether your journey has consisted of road rashes, false starts, or a comfortable scenic drive - every person’s life creates a story. Along the way we also create roadside monuments to significant events, memories, and people whom we’ve encountered. Inked skin is often such a memorial.

Join us by sharing your story, submitting your photo, or leaving your mark on our site. Remember there is more to a tattoo than what we see on the surface. Join our growing community, as we look Beyond The Ink...
