C.R. Ink is a full-service custom tattoo studio in Columbia, Missouri. Four artists, four styles, one waiting list. Every line we lay down has to last a lifetime — we take that seriously.
Each artist owns their style. Pick the one whose work hits — or send us a reference and we'll match.
Walk-ins welcome for flash. Consults required for custom work. All sessions include free aftercare and a 30-day touch-up if anything needs it.
Pick a piece from our wall of pre-drawn flash. No appointment needed. Best for first tattoos and quick weekday sessions.
Bring a reference or a feeling. Free 30-min consult, custom drawing, then booked sessions. Most pieces take 2–4 hours.
Four hours dedicated to your piece. Best for sleeves, back work, or anything that needs time and momentum.
We opened C.R. Ink in 2014 with one principle — if it's going on someone's body for the rest of their life, it has to be right. No rush jobs. No flash designs we haven't drawn ourselves. No shortcuts on aftercare.
Most of our work walks through the door from word-of-mouth. The rest comes from people who saw something on Instagram and made the drive from St. Louis or Kansas City.
