Copperplate Tattoo

Tattooing is offered through a private, appointment-only studio in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood. Clients contact their artist directly to book, and the studio does not accept walk-ins. The space has operated since 2015 and can arrange privacy screens within its open layout. Artists include Caroline Moody Pool, Gray Knife, and Ryann Davis. Appointments require a valid government-issued photo ID, and minors are not permitted under Illinois state regulations. Clients may bring one adult guest. The studio asks visitors to arrive rested, fed, healthy, and hydrated, wearing clothing that allows access to the tattoo area and may get ink stained. It also invites clients to share pronoun preferences or other visit-specific needs.
