About Our Studio
Roses and Ruins Tattoo Summerville is a collective of talented tattoo artists serving both Summerville SC and downtown Charleston. With over a decade of combined experience, our resident artists bring a wide range of styles — from fine line and black & grey realism to bold traditional and vibrant color work.
Whether you're looking for a custom design that tells your story, a cover-up that transforms old ink, or a walk-in flash piece you snagged on Friday the 13th — we've got you covered. Every session starts with a conversation about your vision, because the best tattoos come from collaboration.
What We Do
From your first tattoo to your next full sleeve — our artists specialize in a full range of styles and techniques.
Your vision, your story — brought to life. Our artists work closely with you to create a completely original design that's personal and meaningful. Every line, every shade, tailored to you.
From delicate fine line work to bold American traditional — our collective covers every style. Each artist brings their own specialty, so you get matched with the perfect hand for your design.
Transform old ink into something you'll love. Our artists specialize in creative cover-ups that work with your existing tattoo, not against it. No more hiding — time for a fresh start.
Professional, clean, and safe piercing services at both locations. We use only sterile, high-quality jewelry and follow strict hygiene protocols. Walk-ins welcome for most piercings.

Client Reviews
Real feedback from the Summerville and Charleston community.
"Walked in for a Friday the 13th flash special and ended up booking a full custom sleeve. The artist took my rough sketch and turned it into something incredible. Absolutely hooked on this shop."
"Got a cover-up on a piece I'd regretted for years. You literally cannot tell anything was there before. The artist was patient, walked me through the design, and the result is stunning."
"The fine line work here is unreal. I got a delicate botanical piece on my forearm and every single detail is crisp and beautiful. Clean shop, friendly artists, and they made my first tattoo experience perfect."
"Been coming here for years. The range of styles between their artists is wild — one does incredible black and grey realism, another crushes color work. Always leave happy with a new piece."
