Chip Rutz

I currently live and work in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. I began tattooing professionally in 2000, and have never looked back. Never one to work for others, I opened my own studio in 2006 - Absolute Ink.

Artist's fee

I don't charge an artist's fee, because I believe that a fee makes the customer feel rushed. I enjoy drawing and designing custom pieces, and would rather take time to create a custom design that my client will happy with.

Creating the perfect tattoo for you

Every tattoo is as unique as every client. I first meet clients through consultation, where we sit down and create a custom design.Then we'll lay out the required number of hours and visits you'll need to complete your tattoo. At the first appointment, I'll create the drawing, and then the magic will begin...

Rates

$100.00 per hour.

Scheduling

I usually work from 1 pm to 1 am. I can work afterhours if your schedule requires it. I spend the majority of my time tattooing, and will be happy to discuss your scheduling needs.
