Tattoo Studio: Blackdot
Your text, tattooed by robot — the same process behind every design in our marketplace, and a precision no human hand can match. Every request is reviewed for fit, placement, and how the lettering will hold on skin before booking.
Once you submit your text, we'll email you renderings so you can see it set in a range of styles. From there, you'll book a short consultation to confirm style, placement, sizing, and orientation — and set your appointment.
Custom text tattoos are typically priced between $350 and $450. Final pricing is confirmed before booking and depends on the length of your text, the style you select, and placement.

What to expect
Yes — significantly less.
Most clients describe traditional tattooing as a 6–7 out of 10 on the pain scale.
Blackdot is typically rated around a 1–2 out of 10.
Because the system delivers ink with controlled, consistent precision and minimal skin trauma, the experience feels far gentler than conventional tattooing.
While sensitivity varies depending on placement and individual tolerance, clients are often surprised by how comfortable the process is.
Healing time depends on the placement and your body, but Blackdot tattoos typically heal faster than traditional tattoos. Most clients experience surface healing within 1–2 weeks, with full healing generally completed in 3–4 weeks. Following proper aftercare ensures the best results.
Please bring a valid government-issued ID, as well as your confirmation details. We recommend arriving well-rested, hydrated, and having eaten beforehand. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed.
