Custom, one-of-a-kind work — swirling line, melting color, and a few too many eyes. Drawn just for you.
Ithaca, NY · By appointment only
SpiderBaby Tattoo is an Ithaca-based studio working almost entirely in custom psychedelic illustration — flowing linework, saturated color, and a recurring cast of trippy eyes.
Every piece starts as an original drawing made for one person and one body. No flash sheets pulled twice, no copy-paste. The studio is a calm, private, one-chair space — no crowd, no rush.
A peek at the studio's visual language. Swap these slots with real photos of healed tattoos and flash.
SpiderBaby is appointment-only — every session is planned, never first-come. Here's the path.
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.
No — SpiderBaby is appointment-only. It keeps the studio calm and gives every piece the planning it deserves.
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.
Thanks! In the real site this would land in the studio inbox. We'll reply within a few days to set up a consultation.
