Tattoo artists and piercer in Westerly, RI

Irish Rose Tattoo has two tattoo artists and a piercer on East Ave in Westerly: Tony Asian for fine-line and script tattoos, Zak Sadloski for American traditional, black and grey and cover-ups, and Rayna Lundvall, the piercer. Between them, 33 years of experience, one $80 shop minimum and flat quotes on every piece.

Fine-line tattoo artist Tony Asian Tony Asian does the thin stuff, single-needle script, botanicals with stems you can barely see, portraits the size of a quarter that still read across the room. He has been tattooing for 11 years, the last six at Irish Rose.
Traditional, black and grey, cover-ups Zak Sadloski Zak Sadloski is the bold-line, heavy-black end of the shop, traditional roses, panthers and daggers, smooth black and grey, and the cover-ups other shops send over. 14 years in.
Piercer Rayna Lundvall Rayna Lundvall pierces with needles only, uses implant-grade titanium and solid gold, and spends more time on placement than anyone you have met. Eight years piercing, APP-trained.

Choosing between our tattoo artists

Look at the line weight in the references you keep saving. Thin, delicate, mostly line, lettering, small realism: Tony Asian. Bold outlines, solid color, heavy black, smooth grey shading, or something that needs covering: Zak Sadloski. Both quote flat from your description, both start at the $80 minimum, and both reply to a booking request within two business days.

Piercings go to Rayna Lundvall, walk-in Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 8. She pierces with needles only and fits implant-grade titanium or 14k solid gold.
