Our Tattoo Process

01.

Wait books to open on Instagram

Once Dusty Rose Ink has her books open you can click the live link in her Instagram bio to fill out an inquiry form.

If her books aren't open, typically she will post a date when they will reopen.

02.

Submit Inquiry

Once you've submitted your tattoo idea be sure to respond to the follow-up email to send your reference images.

Once you've submitted the inquiry form and reference images you may wait up to 4 weeks to hear back from your artist. She gets quite a bit of booking requests!

03.

Set up appointment

You will receive a email with a quote and booking date. Then you will have 48 hours to submit your deposit to secure your tattoo appointment.

If the date posted doesn't work her assistant will work on finding another date to schedule.

04.

Get the tattoo

Once you've received your tattoo confirmation email your good-to-go and all that's left is to execute the tattoo! Then you leave with a beautiful permanent artwork.

tattoos are forever

Trust me, I know the importance of permanent body art

Tattooing is so much more than just ink on skin for me; it’s about storytelling, self-expression, and creating art that lasts a lifetime. Every tattoo I create carries a unique significance for the person who wears it, and I cherish the trust that my clients place in me to bring their visions to life. Whether it’s a tiny symbol or a full-sleeve masterpiece, each piece is a reflection of personal journeys and milestones—what an honor it is to be part of that!

Work with Me

Hi, my name is Courtney

Meet your Tattoo Artist

As a tattoo artist specializing in black and grey tattoos, my passion lies in creating intricate floral designs, realism, and fine-line art pieces.

When I’m not inking, you can casually find me at the 205 coffee bar sipping a vanilla latte! I'm a coffee fanatic! In my free time you can find me with my mini me going on walks or working on a artsy craft. When the Michigan winter rolls around, I dream of palm trees and sunshine, often migrating to warmer places to recharge my creative energy.

Art has a profound way of connecting people, and I’m deeply passionate about community. In 2022, I joined the committee for the Tulip City Walls Mural Festival, where we brought vibrant art to the heart of Holland. I believe that art has the power to transform spaces and lives, and I’m excited to be a part of this project that celebrates creativity and community spirit with amazing people.
