Howell Tattoo was built on the belief that great tattooing starts with great people. Located in Clio, Michigan, we've created a space where artistry meets professionalism — where every client is treated with the honesty and respect they deserve.
Our owner's background as a veteran shaped the foundation of everything we do. Discipline, accountability, and pride in the work aren't slogans here — they're the standard we hold ourselves to every single day. You'll feel that the moment you walk through the door.
We don't cut corners. We don't hide costs. We don't guess when we can study. The artists at Howell Tattoo are students of their craft, and that commitment to growth is what separates a good tattoo from one you'll be proud to wear for the rest of your life.
Howell Tattoo — Our Foundation
We don't hide how we work. Every decision, every line, every relationship with our clients is earned through relentless dedication and unwavering honesty.
What We Stand For
We operate with open books and open conversations. Pricing, process, and expectations — nothing is hidden. You know exactly what you're getting before a single needle touches skin.
Our artists don't clock out mentally. We study, we practice, we push past what's comfortable. The pursuit of mastery is constant — because we refuse to deliver anything less than exceptional.
Higher-end work demands higher-end discipline. From consultation to aftercare, every touchpoint reflects the same professionalism. We don't cut corners — our clients feel that the moment they walk in.
The Howell Standard
“We take ownership of every piece we create. Our name goes on it — permanently. That means we pour the same pride into the work as the person wearing it. No exceptions. No shortcuts. This is ours as much as it’s yours.”
The Howell Tattoo Team
The promises that guide every session, every consultation, every client.
