Tattoos Are Nurses Armor

You take care of everyone else. Let this one be for you.

Every day, you suit up. You face what most people couldn’t. You carry the weight of other people’s crisis, their grief, their hope — and somehow, you keep showing up.

Your tattoo is your armor. A reminder of why you do it. A tribute to the people and moments that changed you. A piece of yourself that no one else gets to control.

At Ragtime Tattoo, we see you. And we’re here to help you mark your story with clean, solid work that lasts.
