Ink & Steel

🔥💉 SIT YOUR ASS DOWN SATURDAY! 💉🔥

Let's face it. The economy is giving everybody a run for their money right now. Gas prices are ridiculous, groceries cost a small fortune, and somehow $100 disappears before you even leave the house. 💸

But you know what doesn't disappear?

A GOOD TATTOO. 😎

⛽ $60 in gas? Gone in a week.

🛒 $60 in groceries? Barely fills a bag.

💉 $60 tattoo? THAT'S FOREVER, BABY!

We know everyone's watching their wallets, and we're all about getting a little more bang for your buck.

Our shop minimum is JUST $60, and sometimes a little ink is exactly the attitude adjustment you need.

🔥 SATURDAY | NOON–8 PM
📍 Ink & Steel | Independence
💉 $60 shop minimum
🖤 Walk-ins welcome!

Big ideas, little tattoos, black and gray, or a splash of color. Bring us what you've got!

WE'VE GOT THE CHAIRS. YOU BRING THE SKIN.

🔥 SIT YOUR BUTT DOWN SATURDAY! 🔥

Because life's expensive enough. Your happiness doesn't always have to be. 🖤

🔥 THURSDAY JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT INKIER! 🔥

Well, well, well… look what the tattoo gods dragged in. 👀

BOTH boys have availability today, and that's a rare little unicorn around here! 🦄

Big or small. Black & gray or full-blown color. Something you've been planning for months or something you dreamed up over your morning coffee. WE GOTCHA! 💉

Chad & Matt are ready to turn your ideas into some killer ink!

🚶 Walk in, slide into our DMs, or send us that wild idea you've been sitting on.

Let's make some art worth showing off! 😈🖤

📍 Ink & Steel | Independence, IA
🕑 OPEN TODAY 2–8 PM!

We are excited to support Funky Paws & our furry friends!

🚨 A MESSAGE FROM DEUCE 🚨

Apparently I’ve been selected to announce the bathroom situation for Winterland.

Why me?

My name is Deuce. Draw your own conclusions. 💩🐈

A HUGE thank you to our friends Ink & Steel for generously donating TWO porta potties for our October 24th event!

That’s right. Ink & Steel officially gives a crap about Funky Paws. And thanks to them, when nature calls at Winterland, you won’t have to wander into nature. 😂

Come hang with us October 24 from 4–8 PM at:

📍 Funky Paws Animal Rescue
3030 310th St, Walker, IA 52352

We’ll have live music, Dutchman’s Chuckwagon wood-fired pizza & fry pies, vendors, disc golf, drinks, and plenty of Funky Paws chaos—all while helping us raise money to power up the shelter for winter.

And yes, thanks to Ink & Steel, you can safely plan on staying awhile.

Fall is officially doing its thing 🍂 — and if you’re looking for something better to do than the usual weekend routine, we’ve got a seat for you. 🖤

Chad has openings TODAY & TOMORROW
Matt has openings TOMORROW

Need a little ink therapy? 😏 Maybe you’ve been thinking about a new piece, adding to an existing one, or finally dealing with that tattoo you’re ready to upgrade.

Whatever you’ve got in mind, let’s make your weekend a little more interesting.

🔥 Hit our inbox for some deals on these openings!

These spots won’t hang around long, so slide into the DMs and let’s get you in the chair.

The chairs have been staying BUSY lately but Chad has a rare little break in his schedule with some room TODAY and Sunday afternoon. 👀

If you’ve been waiting to get something started with Chad, this is your chance to slide into one of those openings before they disappear.

And while you’re here, take a peek at just a snapshot of some of the recent work coming out of the shop. 🔥

Got a piece you’ve fallen out of love with? Maybe it didn’t age well… or maybe the decision itself didn’t. 😬 Matt has a serious talent for enhancing existing tattoos and turning those “what was I thinking?” pieces into ones you’re actually excited to show off.

Fresh ink. Custom ideas. Cover-ups. Glow-ups. Second chances for questionable decisions. 😂

Whatever you’re working with, we’ve got your back.

Message us to snag some time with Chad today or Sunday afternoon. 🖤

🚨 FUNKY FRIDAY SITUATION 🚨

Somehow the universe looked at Matt’s schedule today and said, “Nah, clear that s**t out.”

So here we are.

Matt unexpectedly has openings TODAY and we need a warm body in that chair STAT. Bring him your weird idea. Your impulsive idea. The tattoo you’ve had saved in your phone since 2023. He does not care why you’re here, just GET IN THE CHAIR. 😂

Meanwhile, Chad has some room this evening to assist with your questionable Friday decision-making.

And because one day of bad influence simply isn’t enough…

😈 SUNDAY AFTERNOON:
Matt - openings
Chad - openings

It’s the weekend. Act accordingly. 🤘🖤

🖤 We’ve been a little quiet over here… but we’re back.

August kept us busy with our fundraiser, and now that it’s wrapped up, we’ve got tattoo chairs that need filling.

Chad’s taking WALK-INS TODAY & TOMORROW!

Got an idea you’ve been kicking around? Let Chad turn it into a custom piece. Not sure what you want? Come flip through his flash and find something that speaks to you.

Or just keep telling everyone you “really need a new tattoo.” Your call.

⚡ Walk-ins TODAY until 7:30 PM
⚡ Walk-ins TOMORROW until 730 PM

Custom or flash. Big or small.

Stop thinking about the tattoo. Come get the tattoo.

📍 Ink & Steel | Independence
🔥 Hit Chad up or walk your ass through the door.

Open availability for tattoos today and this weekend.
We hope to see you soon!
