There are plenty of tattoo shops in Spokane where you can just walk in and get a tattoo.
Keep in mind the important details take some planning to get right.
The last thing you want is to cut corners and wind up with a tattoo you’ll regret.
What is a Walk-in or Street Shop?
A tattoo shop that you can walk into and get a tattoo is called a street shop.
Street shops are set up to handle a large volume of pre-made flash tattoos for walk-in customers.
Flash tattoos are generic and shared between tattoo artists.
Choosing off the wall means there’s a good chance someone else will have the same tattoo as you.
If you’d like a more personal design, don’t expect it to happen on the spot.
Finding reference, drawing a tattoo and setting up a clean environment all takes time.
None of which should be rushed or done hastily.
Custom Tattoo Shop
Custom tattoo shops are tattoo shops where you need an appointment in advance.
You can not just walk in and get a tattoo in the same day at a custom tattoo shop.
First, you’ll browse a tattoo artist’s portfolio either in the shop or online to determine if they are a match artistically for what you have in mind.
Next, you will chat with the tattoo artist about your ideas, provide reference photos, and discuss the location of your tattoo.
If you are looking for a tattoo that is one of a kind or if this tattoo holds a lot of meaning, you will be happier choosing a custom tattoo.
This way you are guaranteed to be the only person with one like it.
Private Tattoo Studio in Spokane
“Our goal is to have a comfortable environment. We’re very relaxed and focused on getting the job done perfectly.” – Andrew Edlin of Monroe Street Tattoo

There are a few things you will notice immediately that makes Monroe Street Tattoo different than any of the other tattoo shops in Spokane.
Welcoming Environment
Not saying there’s anything wrong with the black and white checkered floors, neon flames and playboy plastered walls…but we wanted to create a clean and welcoming studio that wasn’t intimidating.
Monroe Street Tattoo is an appointment only tattoo shop in Spokane. This way people don’t have to wait an hour or more for their appointment to start.
Water, coffee and suckers are available to patrons. The tattoo process can wear a person out, sometimes something warm or a little sugar boost can help get you through.
Friendly Tattoo Artists
You deserve to be treated with respect and to have a tattoo artist who actually listens and cares about what you are looking for in your tattoo.
You shouldn’t have to compete for an artist’s attention, or have to try to block out the noise from the music or other conversations.
