When it comes to getting a tattoo you want to entrust your skin to an artist capable of the caliber of work you’ll be proud to wear forever. Classic Tattoos’ trio of resident artists Ryan, Keller and Steve are all renowned within the tattoo industry, have studied commercial art, and Keller was recently voted Best Tattoo Artist in Creative Loafing’s 2010 polls. If it’s inkmanship by the most skillful hands in the business you’re after, you’ve found the right place!

Having built a sturdy reputation for innovative custom tattoo work over the past four years, Classic Tattoos finally relocated to its spiritual home in the artistic Grand Central district of St Pete. Since that time it has been offering a breath of fresh air to the way we view tattoo studios, and continues to attract more and more fans and followers.

Stepping into Classic Tattoos is like stepping into a parlor from a bygone era. Plenty of burnished dark wood abounds, old-fashioned roll-top desks give the place a worthy air of respectability, and walls filled with Americana add to the ambiance. It’s a long way from the “scary skulls and scary names scaring people off” as tattoo artist Ryan puts it.

Collectively the Classic Tattoos team has over 25 years experience between them, and by their own admission offer ‘The best tattoos in town’. Their audacious custom artwork certainly backs up this claim and sets them apart from the traditional tattoo den, as does the old-world venue itself.
