Permanent work
by people who give a damn.
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.
Our Resident Four
Each artist owns their style. Pick the one whose work hits — or send us a reference and we'll match.
Three ways to book with us.
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.
Flash sheet
Pick a piece from our wall of pre-drawn flash. No appointment needed. Best for first tattoos and quick weekday sessions.
Custom design
Bring a reference or a feeling. Free 30-min consult, custom drawing, then booked sessions. Most pieces take 2–4 hours.
Full session
Four hours dedicated to your piece. Best for sleeves, back work, or anything that needs time and momentum.
Ten years of careful work in mid-Missouri.
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.
