Nate Rodriguez (nater_tattoos) Daybreak was opened with the hope to create a shop that artists wished they worked at and clients want to get tattooed by. We strive for the highest standards we can in both maintaining a clean and friendly environment and to put out s

ome of the best work in the area. While we love what we do and love making a living by tattooing, we work to be honest and transparent about what will make the best tattoo we can. Our goal is to give you a tattoo that will still love a decade from now! WE DO NOT OFFER PIERCING SERVICES.

Oh, hey there! That charming face below is my cat Hashbrown and that should be enough for many of you to know that this is actually Nick, owner of Daybreak Tattoo.

But truly, holy balls.

We got hacked on September 16th and haven't had control of this page since. After multiple support attempts, it looks like we are on our way to getting back to normal. We aren't all the way there but, as you can see, there is a lot less clickbait posts and pics of Hailey Bieber (sorry Hailey)!

So much has happened in these last few months and there is plenty to catch up on. Until then, here is some quick info!

- Tash is now at AllyKat Tattoo in Kalamazoo! You can find her on IG: or email - [email protected]

- Summer has moved to the Holland area and now works at Broken Vessel in Holland. Her IG is still .inked and her email is [email protected]

- We have a resident guest artist, Nate, who will be with us until May! He does fantastic geometric work that you can see at on Instagram and he can be emailed at [email protected].

- We have a fantastic new shop manager, Ash, who we know you are going to love! (just like we all loved both Jen and Caitlin!)

- Jessi and Jimmy are still with us and are actively accepting appointments!

Bear with us as we get things sorted with this page. All the mess from the hack has broken a few things that we need to work out but hey, at least it looks like we are finally back!

For the time being, send over your tattoo requests via the contact form on www.daybreaktattoo.com

Thank you to everyone who stuck with the page, we have a lot of rebuilding to do but we are so grateful for our clients and followers!

Guys, listen. If you came out for our Friday the 13th flash day, you made it a fantastic day! We are so grateful for each and every one of you!

Nothing in tattooing is better than hanging out with rad people doing rad tattoos!

To my tatter-tots of the shop, you did amazing! The designs you came up with, the effort you put in the tattoos, and the wonderful attitudes you each brought to the event was exactly what we needed to make it such a good day.

(Extra appreciation for Summer because this was her first flash day ever and, even though you had some hesitations, you absolutely rocked! I am really proud of you for going outside your comfort zone and am so glad you had a great time!)

We just want to do good tattoos!

Daybreak Tattoo is all about doing awesome tattoos and having a good time doing them! We genuinely want to do tattoos that you are still happy with 10 years from now. That means we are going to be honest and upfront with you. There are a lot of trends right now that won’t age well but that look really cool in a photo for a day. Our job is to educate and help come up with the best way to capture your idea. It can be intimidating walking into a tattoo shop, we have all been there. Don’t worry about that at Daybreak. Come on in and one of us dorks will be there to say hi! :) LGBT+ FRIENDLY · FIRST TIMER FRIENDLY · TATTITUDE FREE ZONE! We gladly accept walk-ins but appointments are recommended! You must be 18 or older to get a tattoo without parental consent. WE DO NOT OFFER PIERCING SERVICES. We respectfully ask that you do not bring children with you to the shop. It is an adult environment and we are trying to focus on our tattooing. ***MINORS*** Tattoos on minors will be handled on a case-by-case basis. We reserve the right to refuse service. We will not tattoo a minor anywhere that is not covered by pants and a t-shirt and we will not tattoo anyone under the age of 16. ***AFTERCARE*** Our full aftercare recommendations can be found here:http://daybreaktattoo.com/daybreak_aftercare.pdf We also sell aftercare products at the shop! ***PRICING*** Shop minimum is $50 / Hourly rate is $125 ***DEPOSITS*** $50 • Minimum $100 • Large Single Session Tattoos $250 • Multiple Session Tattoos Deposits are non-refundable and are applied to the last session of your tattoo. No deposit = no appointment. ***CANCELLATIONS / RESCHEDULES*** Cancellations / reschedules that give less than 48 hours notice may lose their deposit at the artist’s discretion. We don’t want to take your money for doing nothing. Respect us and we will respect you! ***UNCONFIRMED APPTS*** All appointments are sent a text message reminder 7 days before their appointment and the day before. You are asked to respond to confirm your appointment. If you do not, we will give you a call but if we cannot get in touch with you and the reminder stays unconfirmed then your appointment will be cancelled. ***MULTI-SESSION WORK*** For large, multiple session projects, appointments will be booked out every 2-6 weeks until completion. If you cannot commit to that schedule until completion, then we ask you to wait until you can before booking. With large projects taking anywhere from 10 to 20 hours of drawing time, we just can't commit to that much time preparing for a project to not finish it. Every project we book pushes the next large project back further, so it isn't fair to our other clients as well. ***TOUCH-UPS*** Sometimes a tattoo needs a little more attention. We offer free touch-ups for the first year on most projects.
