FAQs

  • I work out of Detroit Grand Tattoo Company in Ferndale, located directly on Woodward Avenue between 9 Mile Road and Troy Street. You'll find us next to The Living Room Hair Lounge. We are proud to be part of the vibrant Metro Detroit area. Parking options include the DOT Garage, One Eyed Betty's, as well as limited street parking on Woodward, Troy, and 9 Mile.

  • All tattoos are unique and priced accordingly. Detroit Grand Tattoo Co has a set minimum of $150, which includes the cost of the service and a touch-up session (if necessary) after healing. Factors such as size, location, and style (whether fine line, black and grey, or color tattoos) contribute to the final price. I specialize in various styles, including anime tattoos, pixel tattoos, and Afro-American art, and I aim to work within your budget while delivering the best shop experience. If you're looking to bundle multiple small tattoos, we can make that shop minimum stretch! For a more detailed breakdown, CLICK HERE.

  • Detroit Grand Tattoo Co operates on an appointment-only basis, except for Walk-In Wednesdays. I know schedules can vary, and I try to be flexible with timing and days. I've often adjusted my schedule to meet client needs, even when it's outside normal operating hours. Just ask! Whether you're coming in for fine line tattoos, pop culture tattoos, or even a custom black and grey design, I’ll try my best to accommodate.

  • I exclusively use Peak products, from machines to cartridges, for their quality, precision, and reliability. My setup includes the Peak Solice Pro 2 Wireless Machine paired with the accompanying wireless power supply—a combination that ensures smooth, consistent power and lets me fully wrap the machine to minimize cross-contamination. I’ve worked with all of Peak’s cartridges, including Onyx, Blood, Quartz, Triton, and now Stellar, my current go-to for sharp lines and smooth shading. My journey with Peak started with the Orion, my first machine after my apprenticeship, and it’s been my top choice ever since. Using Peak allows me to create tattoos that heal clean and stand the test of time, reflecting my commitment to quality in every piece.

  • No, I enjoy tattooing both my original artwork and custom tattoos. Collaboration often leads to some of the most creative ideas! While my flash designs—which include anime tattoos, neo-traditional tattoos, and pixel tattoos—showcase the type of work I enjoy doing, I’m always open to discussing any new design ideas you may have. Whether you're looking for something black and grey or vibrant color tattoos, I'm here to create a piece you'll love.

  • Currently, I accept payments via Cash App, Venmo, Apple Pay, and cash. We also have an ATM on-site for your convenience. As we are a family-owned, award-winning tattoo shop, we ensure convenience for all clients in Metro Detroit.

  • I personally do not, but we share our space with Crimson & Gold Piercing. Our piercer is APP certified, which ensures the highest standards in body piercing safety and care. If you're looking for both tattoos and piercings in Ferndale, you're in luck! Appointments and walk-ins are available. CLICK HERE for more info.

  • I don't provide numbing cream, but I’m happy to work with it if:
    A. You've used the exact brand you're bringing before and experienced no adverse reactions with past use.
    B. You purchase from Mad Rabbit, as I have experience with their products and have seen great healing results. CLICK HERE to purchase and use code BCINK20 at checkout for a discount on one of the top tattoo aftercare products.
