About Our Studio
"Vesperia" is derived from the word vesper (Latin for "evening star") and is associated with the ancient Roman goddess of twilight, Vespera, who evokes a sense of calm and tranquility to welcome the passing of the day.
Opening Fall of 2026
This studio exists for more than just making tattoos, it's a home for creativity, for community, and for feeling confident in making a significant + permanent mark on your body. We understand how important every step is in the process of getting a tattoo, and we promise to provide the safest, cleanest, and most comfortable experience for all of our clients. All humans are welcome here- we can't wait to tailor your dream tattoo to you and your body!
Sydney and Travis Adkins met early on in their tattoo careers and have created a life and community together through their shared passion for tattooing. Their goal with Vesperia was to create a space that combined their love for the spirit of traditional tattoo shops + tattoo history with their desire to bring together their friends in the industry to create many beautiful styles of tattoos + art.
We all understand the importance of a clean, safe, comfortable environment, and uphold the highest standard for all the artists at Vesperia. We can't wait for you to come and see our studio!
Frequently Asked Questions
Do You Take Walk-Ins?
Yes we do! (Friday-Sunday 12-8pm)
We have a $100 get-what-you-get machine full of color or black and grey designs, tons of flash from all of our artists (that gets updated monthly), and availibility for custom tattoos!
Feel free to give us a call before you come in, appointments will be first-come first-served. And make sure you remember to bring your ID with you!
Do You Sell Aftercare Kits?
We have aftercare available for purchase, but most artists provide their own little aftercare tattoo packs as needed.
Where Should I Park?
We have free parking in the gravel lot directly across the street as well as a gated grass lot to the left of our house (half a block down). If these lots are full (sometimes Franklinton gets a little busy on the weekends!) there's plenty of other paid street parking and fenced off paid lots, the prices are very reasonable and there's plenty of signage to help get you squared away!
Do You Offer Consultations?
Yes! We offer free consultations and will make sure to get you set up with the best artist for your tattoo project.
How Do I Schedule An Appointment?
You can stop by the shop and talk to one of our artists who will schedule you directly, OR you can check out our artist page and schedule with your chosen tattooer through their booking link! (You can also check out our Instagram and choose your artist from there, most of us have a link to a streamlined booking form in our bios!)
