Every piece drawn for you.
Dead Hamster is a custom tattoo studio. No copy-paste sleeves. Every piece is designed around the person wearing it.
Bring the idea. We draw it, size it and build it to last. Black & grey is the house language, with realism, Chicano, fine line and large-scale work spoken daily.

Keep it looking fresh
A tattoo is only as good as how it heals. Six rules, zero exceptions.
TattooRelay clients get aftercare in their portal right after every appointment.
- 01
Leave the wrap on for as long as your artist told you, usually a few hours.
- 02
Wash gently with lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap. Pat dry, never rub.
- 03
Moisturize thin with unscented lotion two or three times a day.
- 04
No direct sun, pools, saunas or baths while it heals.
- 05
Do not pick or scratch. Let the flakes fall on their own.
- 06
Once healed, SPF 50 helps keep your lines crisp.
