01Our Approach
Here at Black Bison Tattoo Studio, we strive to create one-of-a-kind and unique pieces that are tailored to each person. The process of sketching and producing a quality piece does take time and we ask for your patience.
To create a quality and unique piece, the artists will ultimately retain creative and artistic control during the sketching and tattooing process. We truly take your influences and ideas and transform them into the unique piece you are looking for.
