Custom tattoo design in Fargo, ND.

Most tattoos at Fargo Tattoo start as a custom conversation: the idea, placement, size, references, and which artist should carry the design. The studio does not publish individualized quotes without artist review.

Who this is for

Custom tattoos designed around the client’s idea, placement, and the artist’s strengths.

Artists

Shawn Lowe — Owner of Fargo Tattoo. Known for black and grey work, portraits, memorials, cover-ups, lettering, and custom design planned for long-term readability.
Leni B. — New Fargo Tattoo artist whose approved work shows bold color, clean shapes, and a playful neo-traditional and illustrative edge.

Longevity

Placement, size, and contrast matter more than a trend. Fine line on high-wear areas and cover-ups over dark ink both need honest limits.

What to send

Idea, placement, size, black-and-grey or color, and references. Cover-ups need a current photo of the existing tattoo.
