Unleashing creative expression

What we do

Tattoos, piercings, jewelry, and good fun with good people

Custom tattoos

You bring the idea, an artist draws it for your body. Realism, colour, blackwork, fine line, ornamental, lettering.

Cover-ups

Old work, or a scar you would rather stop seeing. Bring a photo and we will tell you honestly what can be done with it.

Piercings

Fifteen years of piercing experience on the bench, a sterile room, and jewelry you can actually choose from in person.

Walk-ins

Something small today? Come in. Bigger pieces get a consultation and a drawing first, which is what the request form is for.

Recent work

Out of the studio

Pick the style you're after. Nobody walks in wanting “a tattoo” — they want realism, or blackwork, or something ornamental, and a flat wall of photos buries the one they came to see.

Look after it

Aftercare that keeps the piece sharp

A tattoo is a wound with art in it, and the first month decides how it looks for the next thirty years. Wash it twice a day, keep it out of the sun and out of the water, and go light on the ointment.

Our full regimen for the first 3 to 5 days, the following 28 days, long term care and piercing aftercare is written out plainly on one page. Aftercare kits and individual items are sold in the shop.

  • Out of the sun, out of pools and lakes, away from pets while it heals
  • No workouts until it is fully healed
  • Wash twice daily, pat dry with a clean paper towel
  • A light layer only, never shiny or greasy
  • Swap ointment for plain unscented lotion after the first week
  • Sunscreen daily once healed, and never on a fresh tattoo

Get involved

Absolutely have been telling everyone about this place. Came with an idea and Q took it and turned it into the most beautiful piece. Started a sleeve and 8 hours in we were still joking and laughing. When you are in his chair you feel comfortable and in good hands. Can’t wait to come back for the second half.

I got 2 tattoos from the shop owner during the Friday the 13th flash event. One was to cover an old self harm scar on my arm. Today, for the first time in almost 2 decades, I was able to wake up and not see the reminder of that time. You have a customer for life. Incredible talent, compassion, and a wonderful atmosphere.

Looking for a tattoo, tattoo cover-up, or piercing? This is definitely the place to go! I had such an amazing experience and will absolutely be coming back. Huge shoutout to Dom, thank you for the tattoo! Your talent and attention to detail are incredible. Not only are the artists extremely skilled at what they do, but the entire staff makes sure you feel 100% comfortable throughout the process.

I have had my belly button pierced multiple times so I had pretty significant scar tissue. Trevor was able to pierce it quickly and efficiently, also easily (which was never the case). Being from a medical background I can honestly say I was very pleased with the level of cleanliness and the sterilization process! Highly recommended!

My wife and I recently had some work done by Dom. He was excellent! Very clean work, personable, and makes you feel comfortable right away. We’ve been in search for a new “go to” artist and we believe we found him! Had the pleasure to meet and talk with Q as well, can say all the same things regarding him also. 5 stars, highly recommend Orchard Tattoo Company!

My daughter went to see Trevor to get her nose pierced. He made the entire process super easy, explained everything she could expect, took his time, and made sure she was happy with everything! Highly recommend him if you are looking into getting a piercing anytime soon!
