Walk-In Tattoos in Columbia, SC
No appointment? No problem. Born Again Tattoo welcomes walk-ins daily. Whether you’re a USC student looking for your first tattoo, a 5 Points regular who’s been thinking about a piece for months, or a visitor who decides on a whim — we’re here.
How Walk-In Tattoos Work
Walk-in tattooing is straightforward:
- Come into the shop (no need to call ahead)
- Browse our available flash designs and talk to our artists about what you’re looking for
- If an artist is available and the design is a good fit, we can get started right away
- For larger or more complex requests, we may schedule you for a near-term appointment
What Walk-In Tattoos Are Best For
- Flash designs from our curated selection sheets
- Small to medium pieces with simple concepts
- Text and lettering tattoos with clear font choices
- First tattoos — nothing complicated, just great work to start your collection
- Spontaneous decisions you’ve actually thought about for a long time
Our Flash Selection
Our artists regularly update our flash sheets across a range of styles — traditional, fine line, illustrative, botanical, lettering, and more. Flash tattoos are pre-drawn, optimized for tattooing, and available at accessible price points. They represent some of our artists’ best pure creative work.
Walk-In Availability
Walk-in availability depends on how busy the shop is and which artists are in that day. We recommend coming early in the day for the best chance of getting tattooed without a wait. Weekday afternoons tend to be less busy than weekends.
If you’re coming from outside Columbia — from Lexington, West Columbia, Irmo, or further — it’s worth giving us a quick call to check availability before making the drive.
