For Maspeth clients, Woodside Tattoo offers custom tattoo work with an emphasis on planning before the needle starts. We work on black and grey tattoos, cover-ups, names, portraits, realism pieces, and other personal designs, along with piercing. Every tattoo presents a different problem to solve. A portrait needs recognizable features. A name needs clear lettering. A cover-up has to account for the old ink. A realism piece needs enough scale and contrast to communicate the subject convincingly. We look at those needs before deciding how the design should come together.
You can contact us from Maspeth even if your idea is still rough. Send references that show the direction you like and explain what the tattoo means or which details matter most. Placement and approximate size are also useful. If the area already has a tattoo, include a clear photograph. From there, we can explain whether the concept is ready to schedule or needs adjustment. We would rather solve a design issue beforehand than discover it during the appointment. Call 714 701 8162 if you need help explaining what you have in mind.

We consider silhouette, focal point, contrast, placement, and detail together rather than making isolated decisions that do not support the finished piece.
We will tell you when reducing a design too far would sacrifice important information. The goal is to find a size that serves both the idea and the placement.
Clear photographs are especially important for portraits and realism. When several references are needed, we help identify what each one contributes to the design.
We look at what can be covered, what may still influence the new design, and how larger shapes or darker values can be used strategically.
Whether your tattoo is deeply personal or simply something you have wanted for years, you can expect questions, explanations, and a straightforward process.
From Maspeth, send the idea, placement, approximate size, and references, or call 714 701 8162 to get started.
