N°02 — The Story

A shop with a conscience.

All Saints began the way most good things do — quietly, and a little obsessively. Owner Matthew Roushey got hold of a tattoo machine, went a little crazy in the best possible way, and seven years later cut the keys to a shop of his own on South Third Street.

What we make here is custom, slow, and deeply personal. Photographs lifted onto skin. Botanical studies in single-needle line. Letters carved like they belong on a chapel wall. The chair is yours for as long as the work needs.

And because Wilmington has been good to us — and because Wilmington has lost too many — we send a portion of every session home with the city that raised us.

Give-Back · Always
A portion of every session funds suicide awareness and substance-abuse recovery efforts here in Wilmington. The chair you sit in helps fund the chair someone else might desperately need.
N°03 — Disciplines

Five hands. One obsession.

Each style has its own grammar. Pick the one your idea is asking for — we'll help you choose.
N°04 — The work

From the chair. This month.

A rolling portfolio. Names withheld out of respect — stories told only with permission.
N°05 — The Roster

Four artists. One chair at a time.

Pick the hand that draws what you carry. Each artist takes private bookings — a few walk-ins each week.

N°08 — Process

Three acts. One mark.

Nothing rushed. Nothing improvised in the chair that wasn't planned out the night before.
Consultation
I
Act One

Consultation

Bring a reference, a story, or a feeling. We sit down — in person or by phone — figure out the piece, where it lives, what it costs, and whose hand it belongs in.

Design
II
Act Two

Design

We draw. We refine. The design is locked before you sit in the chair — so when the needle starts, the only decision left is how loud the music should be.

Session
III
Act Three

Session & Aftercare

Single-use needles, hospital-grade hygiene, real conversation. You leave with written aftercare and a number you can text if anything looks off.

"Lou is an absolute master of his craft. I came in with a vision of a lion and Jesus tattoo, and he brought it to life beyond anything I could've imagined. The level of detail, shading, and emotion he captured is unreal."

"Got my first tattoo here with Jonathan — a fine-line botanical piece on my forearm. He walked me through every step, the studio was spotless, and it healed beautifully. Already booked for round two."

"Paul covered up a 15-year-old tattoo I'd hated for half my life. The new piece is unreal — you'd never know there was anything underneath. Worth every minute in the chair."

"Came to Lou for a memorial piece for my mom. He took the time to really understand what she meant to me before he ever picked up the machine. The portrait looks exactly like her. I cried."

N°10 — Questions

Before you sit.

Cost depends on size, design complexity, and time. After a quick consultation we'll quote you in plain numbers — no surprises. Tiered packages (Basic · Premium · Exclusive) are available for larger commissions.
A small fine-line piece can be done in 30–60 minutes. Larger black-and-grey realism can run 4–8 hours and may be split into multiple sittings. We never rush the work.
Yes — based on artist availability. We're open 24 hours; call (910) 508-5283 before you swing by so we can make sure someone's free for the size of piece you want.
We do cover-ups all the time — second-chance pieces are some of our favorite work. For laser removal we'll point you to trusted specialists in the area.
You'll leave with written aftercare: gentle washing twice a day, unscented moisturizer, no direct sun, no soaking, and a number you can text if anything looks off in the first two weeks.
