Skull Tattoo
There isn’t a tattoo artist worth their salt around that doesn’t love a good old skull tattoo, and we’re no different. If there was only one type of tattoo we could do moving forward, it would be skulls. Evocative and engaging, they remind us of our mortality, something tattoos in general have a habit of doing. It also goes pretty far to state that a skull can teach us that under the skin we’re all the same. A beautiful sentiment indeed. See? Not so scary after all.
Native American chief tattoo
This slightly blurry (sorry about that, our bad) and completely healed tattoo on our buddy Forrest was done by Will Wood as part of an entire Native American leg sleeve. More to Come!
Our artist Hannah is running a half price American Traditional tattoo sale. Call the shop to book your spot!
What can we say? This guy is on fire! Tattooing since the fall of 2022, Jake has improved by leaps and bounds. This amazing increase in his ability can be most attributed to two things: his prior experience as a mechanic (mechanics have to figure things out on the fly and this problem-solving under pressure is very similar to how young tattooers learn and improve) and the tutelage of master tattoo artist Will Wood.
We kick off Pride Month with this little matchstick by our very own Jake, the beefcake is just extra! Swing by to appreciate it in all it’s glory.
The only man to beat Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee. Starring in over 20 films by the time he turned 20, Lee was catapulted into stardom. He is also the primary reason “kung-fu” was popularized in America. In other words if it weren’t for Bruce, we probably wouldn’t have a little known sport called MMA today.
Beginning in 2005 on the PlayStation 2, God of War has become a flagship series for PlayStation, consisting of nine installments across multiple platforms. Based on ancient mythologies, the story follows Kratos, a Spartan warrior and later the Greek God of War, who was tricked into killing his family by his former master, the original Greek God of War Ares. As a result of this, his families ashes were imbued into his skin, as a reminder of the wretched deeds he had done. Luckily enough for us, no one’s family had to die for this tattoo. Although what a story it would’ve been, right?
Sorry Hannah Montana, let us know when you can tattoo like this.
The mark of a true artist like Will is to be able to take a photo and make it even more bad-ass than it already was, or in this case, two photos. So when we say “creative freedom”, we mean it. You may end up with a masterpiece like this!
We’ll let you know we’re glad to be back! Lighthouse Tattoo is now open for business once again, we just missed y’all too much. We’re open every day from 12-10pm, so stop by and get on the books! Every tattoo is special, and as you can see, we’re damn good at capturing the magic!
This rendering of the bust of the Greek/Roman god Apollo is a fantastic first tattoo for the young lady who got it! Performed in about 3.5 hours by realism artist Will Wood.
And hope to die… This little piece was performed by realism artist Will Wood as the first part to a bestie tattoo. While we don’t necessarily endorse getting matching tattoos with your friends, the outcome is undeniably impactful.
All day this Saturday, March 25th, Lighthouse Tattoo will be offering select piercings from our apprentice piercer to finish up her training.

Timothy jumped right in with a huge full-color Chronicles of Narnia movie poster tattoo and we wanted to share it with you.
One more time Disney: We NEED a coming-of-age tale for the enigmatic Darth Maul! Let’s GO!!!
If you like comics and haven’t watched any of the Flash series, you don’t know what you’re missing. It’s definitely better than the Flash from the movies. This particular villain, Reverse Flash, is strikingly similar to the regular Flash in a way that only really happens in comic books and B-rated films. Still, this guy juxtaposed against his arch-nemesis on the other side of Chris’s calf here is impressive.
If you don’t know the name, look it up! One of history’s guitar greats, Stevie Ray Vaughn left us too soon, but he left us with a tremendous catalog of amazing music to remember him by!
We really enjoy our religious tattoos here at Lighthouse Tattoo, and Catholic iconography is one of the richest sources for material an artist could ever hope for!
We got this dry shot of a still-healing piece that was done the other day as part of a horror sleeve our realism artist Will Wood is currently working on. We’ll get a better shot of it once it’s fully healed. Hey, we it says ‘tattoo’ on the door, nobody ever said we were good photographers… Enjoy!
Clowns are creepy, sure. Four-eyed clowns, SUPER creepy. This is the stuff of nightmares, man! A fun little banger done as a birthday gift for a friend, Get ‘cher nightmare tattoos at Lighthouse Tattoo. Open seven days a week!
This take on a Dark Mark is pretty cool, terrible photography notwithstanding. We’ll take a better photo of it once it’s healed.
