Meet The Crew
Behind The Chair
The work — and the people behind it.
Louie's built this shop from the ground up over 20+ years, and his own chair reflects it — meticulous black & gray realism, portraits so sharp clients mistake them for printed photographs, and cover-ups that make the old piece disappear rather than just fade into a new one. He set the tone for King Louie's from day one: walk-ins treated like regulars, no attitude, just craft. When he's not tattooing, he's usually still in the shop — sketching flash, mentoring the crew, or arguing about the next wall to repaint.

David's spent 23+ years refusing to specialize, and it shows — black & gray realism, full-color portraits, old-school traditional, neo-traditional, sometimes all four in the same sleeve. Clients bring him reference photos other artists turn down; he treats it as the fun part. Award-winning, but you'd never guess it talking to him — he's more interested in what you're bringing in than what he's already done.

David At Work
Anna's work blends elegance, storytelling, and botanical detail — clean, delicate linework built around soft florals, flowing composition, and symbolism that actually means something, rather than bold traditional pieces. Books are her biggest influence: she translates favorite stories into tattoo flash, from fantasy dragons to quiet literary symbols, and hosts a book club that pairs reading nights with exclusive flash drops. Roses, wildflowers, butterflies, ribbons, and gothic touches run through her portfolio — tattoos that are beautiful on day one and mean just as much years later.
