03 The origin story

Built in the
West End.

Ryan Worley signed the lease right before the world shut down. In June 2020, West End Tattoo Club opened anyway.

More than a storefront, the shop grew into part of Old Central City’s creative fabric—a place for working artists, first tattoos, ambitious pieces, flash-day crowds, and the kind of conversation that makes the hours disappear.
