What We Offer
Crafted for Every Vision
From your first piece to a full sleeve, every service is delivered with the same standard of artistry and care.
Black & Grey Realism
Meticulous shading and depth using only black ink and grey wash. Portraits, animals, and figurative work that reads like a photograph on skin.
Color & Illustration
Vibrant, saturated color work — from neo-traditional florals and geometric patterns to illustrative scenes that pop with personality.
Cover-Up & Restoration
Old tattoos don't have to define you. We redesign faded, botched, or unwanted ink into something you're proud to show off.
Consultations
Free, no-pressure consultations to discuss placement, size, style, and pricing. Walk in or call — we'll map out your piece together.
Touch-Ups & Aftercare
Every tattoo comes with aftercare guidance and complimentary touch-up support to keep your ink looking sharp for years to come.

Our Story
Built on Precision,
Get in Touch
Built on Precision,
Driven by Passion
Black Listed Tattoo Company started with a simple belief: tattooing is art, and art deserves respect. What began as a passion for the craft has grown into Charleston's trusted destination for custom ink — a space where every client is treated like a collaborator, not a walk-through.
Our studio is built for comfort and clarity. We use only professional-grade equipment, single-use needles, and premium inks. Every design is drawn from scratch, every placement is considered, and every session is approached with the same attention to detail as a gallery piece.

Everything You Need to Know
Still have questions?
We're happy to walk you through anything before you commit. Call us, send an email, or just walk in — no appointment necessary.
We accept both walk-ins and appointments. For larger or more detailed pieces, we recommend booking a consultation so we can give your project the time it deserves.
Pricing depends on size, detail, placement, and time required. We offer free consultations where we'll give you an honest estimate before anything begins — no surprises.
Absolutely. Walk-ins are always welcome, though availability depends on the artist's schedule. If you have a specific design in mind, calling ahead helps us set aside time for you.
Get a good night's sleep, eat a solid meal beforehand, stay hydrated, and wear comfortable clothing that gives us access to the placement area. Avoid alcohol the night before.
We provide detailed aftercare instructions with every session. In short: keep it clean, moisturized, and out of direct sun. We also offer complimentary touch-ups to keep your ink looking fresh.
Yes — cover-ups are one of our specialties. Bring photos of your existing work and we'll discuss how to transform it into something you love. Some faded or light tattoos may also be refreshed rather than covered.
