About Bad Apples Tattoo
We started Bad Apples to strip away intimidation and replace it with artistry, safety, and respect.

At Bad Apples, we prioritize your comfort, safety, and satisfaction. Our studio maintains the highest standards of hygiene and uses only premium, sterile equipment. We work closely with each client to ensure every piece is a true work of art that you'll be proud to wear for a lifetime.
