Ink thatmeans something
Taste of Ink is Wendell's custom tattoo studio — founded by Clayton, working alongside artists Sean and Elleneese. Bold linework, fine detail, and designs built around your story.
Small town. Serious craft.
Taste of Ink was built on a simple idea: a tattoo should be as considered as the person wearing it. Owner Clayton opened the studio to bring uncompromising, custom tattoo work to Wendell — no flash-off-the-wall shortcuts, no rushed sessions. Every piece starts with a real conversation.
Today the shop is a three-artist studio: Clayton leads with bold blackwork and traditional Americana, Sean brings precision fine line and detailed realism, and Elleneese rounds it out with delicate fine line and traditional-inspired pieces. Different styles, same standard.
Styles We Specialize In
From bold traditional flash to fine line minimalism, we work across styles without sacrificing detail.
Traditional & Blackwork
Bold lines, saturated color, classic American flash reinvented. Clayton's specialty.
Fine Line & Realism
Delicate detail work, botanical pieces, and photorealistic portraits. Sean's specialty.
