A World Where
Art Lives Forever
Step through our doors and immerse yourself in a world where every line, every shade, and every stroke tells a story. At Charnel House Tattoo, we're not just about tattoos — we're about crafting experiences, forging connections, and etching memories into the fabric of your skin.
Founded by Dillon Eaves, who has spent over a decade building a space where people feel safe, heard, and fully seen. His work has taken him beyond the studio into collaborations with some of the world's most iconic brands.
Whether you're a seasoned collector or picking up your first piece of permanent art, let's collaborate, create, and make magic together.
Our Commitments
These aren't afterthoughts — they're the foundation every appointment is built on, from first consult to final heal.
Every body, background, and story is welcome here. We are a judgment-free zone built for dreamers, rebels, and free spirits of all kinds. Our team celebrates diversity and actively cultivates a space where everyone feels at home the moment they walk in.
We follow rigorous sterilization standards and single-use needle protocols on every appointment — no exceptions. Tattooing is a deeply personal collaboration, and we hold your trust and physical safety as our highest responsibility.
We use vegan-friendly, cruelty-free inks and biodegradable supplies wherever possible. Our studio recycles single-use materials responsibly and partners with suppliers who share our commitment to reducing our environmental footprint.
Our Artists
Styles & Specialties
Our artists work across a full range of styles. Whether you come with a fully formed vision or just a feeling, we'll build something from scratch that fits you — and only you.
Bold lines, rich detail, real illustrative depth. Rooted in tradition but built for now. One of our most requested styles — timeless work with a modern edge.
Everything lives in the tones — gradients, depth, shading that can feel like a photograph or a painting. Timeless work that ages beautifully over decades.
Fantasy, the macabre, Star Wars, LOTR, anime, natural elements with a dark twist. We love when someone brings us a story and we figure out how to tell it on skin.
Precision and a minimalist aesthetic — delicate linework and subtle shading. Particularly renowned for incredibly detailed pet portraits that capture the unique essence of each animal.
High contrast. Graphic. Built to last. The architectural quality of strong blackwork holds its presence over time. Available for custom designs and flash.
Nano brows, powder brows, combination techniques, and lip tinting by Lindsay Byrd — over two decades of professional experience in beauty, film, and television production.
