LUXURY PIERCINGS + TATTOOS
Misfits was started by tattoo artists who got tired of the bullshit—tired of shops that treat artists like interchangeable parts, tired of the pressure to churn out work instead of creating it. We wanted a space where craft actually matters, where artists can focus on what they're good at, and where clients work with people who genuinely give a damn about the art.

Photorealistic portraits and realism
Fine line and delicate work
Bold neo-traditional
Classic American traditional
Black and grey realism
Intricate ornamental and geometric designs
Vibrant color work
