Best tattoo studio in the Sioux Falls/ Tea area. Every artist here is professional, clean, creative and most importantly honest. They don't tattoo just for the sake of tattooing. Every artist at Red arbor is art and customer satisfaction focused.

COMMON QUESTIONS

You need to be 18 years old to get a tattoo in our studio, no exceptions, even if it’s legal with parental consent in some places.

  • Identification: A government-issued or state ID is required for paperwork. Acceptable forms include a driver’s license, passport, military ID, or state ID. No ID means no tattoo, and you’ll lose your deposit.
  • Payment Method: We don’t accept checks, so bring another payment form.
  • Appropriate Clothing: Wear something comfortable and not fancy, considering your tattoo’s placement. You can bring a sweater in case you get cold, though blankets are provided.
  • Snacks and Beverages: Eating well before your appointment and bringing snacks with a bit of sugar can help keep your blood sugar steady. We offer some snacks and beverages too.
  • Cellphone Use: Use your cellphone respectfully. Excessive movement from talking or texting can affect the tattoo process.

Scheduling an appointment ensures your tattoo gets the attention it deserves. For larger custom designs, a consultation lets us plan every detail. Walk-ins are always welcome on a first-come, first-served basis.
