More Than a Studio —
A Community Space
19:16 Tattoo Collective was born from a simple belief: everyone deserves a tattoo experience that feels safe, respectful, and genuinely fun. Located on South 4th Street in the heart of Stoughton, our studio is a place where creativity flows and first-timers feel right at home.
We take the time to understand what you want — whether it's a small meaningful piece or a full sleeve — and we bring that vision to life with professional skill and genuine care. No rush, no pressure, just great art and good conversation.
Everything You Need to Know
New to tattoos? We've got answers.
Call us at (608) 716-9285 or email 1916tattoocollective@gmail.com. We'll discuss your idea, pick a date, and answer any questions you have before your session.
Yes — a small deposit secures your appointment and shows commitment. It goes toward your final total. We'll let you know the amount when we book your session.
Get a good night's sleep, eat a solid meal before you arrive, stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol the night before. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed.
Every tattoo involves some discomfort, but most people handle it well. Pain varies by placement and individual tolerance. We'll chat about what to expect for your specific piece and make sure you're comfortable throughout.
We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your tattoo. Generally: keep the bandage on for a few hours, wash gently with unscented soap, apply a thin layer of recommended ointment, and avoid soaking or direct sun while healing.
Absolutely! Having someone with you can make the experience more relaxed. We just ask that guests stay in the waiting area during the session so we can keep the workspace clean and focused.
