Custom, one-of-a-kind work — swirling line, melting color, and a few too many eyes. Drawn just for you.
Ithaca, NY · Walk-ins & appointments welcome
Two artists, one small studio. Every piece is drawn for one person and one body — no flash sheets pulled twice, no copy-paste.
Ten-plus years behind the machine, working almost entirely in custom psychedelic illustration — flowing linework, saturated colour, and a recurring cast of trippy eyes.
She's also the hand behind the mural on the studio wall — the same black-and-gold linework this whole site is built from.
Back at the machine and building her book up again, taking on new work now.
Booking with Aubree usually means a shorter wait — a good place to start if you're after something smaller or want to get in sooner.
SpiderBaby is a female-owned studio and a safe space — full stop. Whoever you are and whoever you love, you'll be treated with respect in this chair.
Disrespect, homophobia and racism are not tolerated here, toward clients or artists. If people being and loving who they want is a problem for you, take your business elsewhere.
Healed work and fresh pieces out of the studio — colour, blackwork, traditional and illustrative.
Stuck with something you've outgrown? Old or faded work can usually be redrawn into something you actually want to look at. Bring it in and we'll talk through what's possible.
Walk in while the studio is open, or book ahead for bigger custom work. Here's how a booked piece comes together.
Use the form below — your idea, placement, rough size, and any reference images.
We talk it through and your artist sketches a custom design made only for you.
A deposit locks in your appointment and comes off the final price.
Arrive, sign a quick digital consent form on the studio iPad, show a valid photo ID, and get tattooed.
Yes — walk-ins are welcome whenever the studio is open and a chair is free. Larger custom pieces are still worth booking ahead, so there's time to draw something made just for you.
18 or older, no exceptions. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID to your appointment — you'll be asked to show it before any work begins.
Deposits are non-refundable but go toward the final cost of your tattoo. Rescheduling once is fine with enough notice.
Bring references and ideas, absolutely. Final art is always drawn custom in the studio's style rather than copied line-for-line.
Eat beforehand, stay hydrated, wear comfy clothes. You'll leave with full aftercare instructions for your healing.
One complimentary touch-up within a few months of healing, if the piece needs it.
Walk in any open day for something small. For a larger custom piece, send this over and we'll set up a consultation.
Thanks! In the real site this would land in the studio inbox. We'll reply within a few days to set up a consultation.
