ABOUT HELLO TATTOO PARLOR —

A Traditional Tattoo Parlor With Room for Every Style.

At Hello Tattoo Parlor, traditional describes the way we approach tattooing – not a limit on the art we create.

Respect for the Craft.
Respect for the Person.

We believe a great tattoo shop should feel personal. Artists and clients talk directly. Ideas are strengthened through honest guidance.

Every piece is approached with care for the design, the placement, and the person who will live with it.

Our artists work across a broad range of styles, including American Traditional, Neo-Traditional, Japanese, Fine Line, Realism, Blackwork and more.

Some clients arrive knowing exactly what they want. Others need help turning a thought, reference, memory, or feeling into a tattoo that belongs to them.

Owner-Operated. Artist-Led.

Hello Tattoo Parlor’s owners are also its primary artists and are typically here in the shop. Their presence shapes the work, the atmosphere, and the standards of the parlor every day.

This is not a distant brand or a revolving collection of rented stations. It is a shop with people, personality, and continuity.

A Sarasota Shop With a Wider Reach

Our home is Sarasota’s Historic Arts District, close to downtown and surrounded by the character of a small, walkable arts neighborhood. Our relationships begin locally, but they do not end there.

Sarasota visitors who discovered Hello Tattoo Parlor while in town have returned from other states and countries for more work.

You’re More Than an Appointment on the Calendar

Hello Tattoo Parlor is a place where people are encouraged to stop in, talk tattoos, look around, and spend a little time – whether or not they are getting tattooed that day.

Experienced collectors, first-time clients, neighbors, travelers, friends, and curious visitors all add something to the life of the shop.

Not only did he get the vision, but he also leaned into the obscure themes and delivered 2 stunning, beautiful tattoos. He gave me exactly what I was looking for, but with a level of artistry and execution that completely exceeded my expectations.

Derek is a true artist. Highly, highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I were on vacation and decided to get a tattoo.  We looked up local tattoo shops and liked the reviews we saw for Hello Tattoo.  Such a welcoming tattoo parlor!  You don't get that much of anywhere anymore.  I had gotten a tattoo several years ago that I didn't care for and initially wanted to cover it. I ended up giving Chase a couple of ideas that I liked and he took the 2 and incorporated into my current tattoo!  It came out awesome!  He said it was the smallest Jesus had ever done and it came out perfect!  My husband had a lighthouse done by Lane, and his was awesome as well!  If you want a clean tattoo parlor with personable artists, this is the place to go!!  You won't be disappointed!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My friend and I originally made an appointment at Cleopatra Ink for matching orange tattoos and were incredibly disappointed with the service. We had an appointment and waited over a half hour to be even looked at. When we walked in after confirming the appointment multiple times, they still had no idea who we were and what we wanted done, even though we had sent multiple pictures and had multiple conversations.

My friend called Hello Tattoo and got in touch with Lane, one of the artists. She asked if we could do a walk-in and said that we were a 15 minute walk away he said, “first come first serve, but — absolutely.” When we got there, they were super friendly and Derek was just finishing up this beautiful, fine line tattoo, which I was really excited to see because that meant that I could get the style that I actually wanted. She and I both had a really great experience and highly recommend going and getting your tattoos done at Hello Tattoo. Derek is incredible at fine line tattoos AND traditional style.

He also touched up another tattoo small tattoo for me as well, same day.

If you want great line work and a relaxed vibe go to Hello tattoo.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best tattoo experience ever. The whole staff made my daughter and I feel welcomed, and comfortable. We showed up as a walk-in and not only did Derek work us in, but he kept us updated as he finished a job before us allowing us to grab a bite and shop a bit first.

Derek took or ideas and brought them to life in a way I never could have imagined.

While we were there several other women came in and were made to feel right at home too. We all had a relaxing, fun afternoon.

What a wonderful clean shop / with an amazing group of people.

Will definitely be back!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was recommended this place by a barista with awesome tattoos and I was BEYOND pleased to have gone there for not one but THREE tattoos in one day!! Claudio was extremely patient and helpful with my decision on placement and concept of my tattoos.
The other two guys (I believe one was the owner) at the shop gave their input when I asked them their thoughts. They were also cool and friendly guys!! Super clean place too. I’ve already recommended this place to my coworkers with tatts!!
