With two elite studios—one in Downtown STL and one in St. Peters—Self Inflicted delivers top-tier artistry and a premium tattoo experience to clients across the metro area. No matter which location you choose, you can feel confident knowing we’re two of the best tattoo shops St. Louis has to offer.
Downtown Studio
-
With bright walls, an open layout, and bold artwork everywhere you look, the Downtown studio feels fun and welcoming from the moment you walk in.
Massive front windows pour in natural light, keeping the space warm and relaxed—and our artists work side by side, so the studio is always buzzing with good conversation and good vibes.
Immaculately clean, fully professional, and stacked with serious talent—the Downtown studio earns its rep as one of the best tattoo shops in St Louis.

Step outside and you’re surrounded by bars, coffee shops, and killer restaurants—with spots like the City Museum, St. Louis Public Library, the Convention Center, and Escape the Room just a few minutes away.
Whether you’re grabbing caffeine before your appointment, food after, or making a whole day of it, this neighborhood makes it easy!

St. Peters Studio
-
Our St. Peters studio is a top-rated tattoo shop in St. Louis for clients who’re looking for a more private, laidback experience—without losing the edge or artistry.
Curtained artist stalls, cozy corners for waiting, and a collection of arcade games at the front of the studio combine for a homey experience where you and your guests can truly be comfortable.
And on top of the studio being spotless from wall to wall, each artists’ space brings its own vibe—layered with personality, artwork, and details that make it instantly clear who you’ll click with.

3899 Veterans Memorial Parkway, St. Peters, Missouri 63376

Walk out of the shop and you’re instantly surrounded by fast food classics, sit-down restaurants, shopping spots, nail salons, and yes—even a cannabis dispensary right next door!
Whether you’re grabbing a bite before your appointment, making a whole day out of getting tattooed, or stacking errands and ink in one trip, this location keeps it simple, convenient, and low-stress.

Booking by Tattoo Artist
Some clients book by location—others book by artist. Either way, you’re in talented hands. Both Self Inflicted Studios are stacked with elite artists who create fully custom, high-caliber tattoo designs every time. It’s their dedication to top-tier artistry that’s earned both locations a spot among the best tattoo shops in St. Louis.
Walk In Whenever
One of the biggest perks of having two top-rated tattoo shops in St. Louis? Complete booking flexibility. With a huge combined artist roster full of heavy hitters, Self Inflicted can handle scheduled appointments while still making room for walk-ins every day. However, if you have a certain artist in mind, we recommend reaching out to them directly to book ahead. While there’s usually someone great available to do a walk-in tattoo, not all Self Inflicted artists have regular walk-in availability
