"I got my ephemeral tattoo back in June 2024 with Liv and she was awesome! She really took her time to explain the process to me and I learned a lot about ephemeral ink from her before we got started. Liv was meticulous perfectionistic with getting the placement of the tattoo just right."

Found at the end of
Freeman Alley.
New York City's first in-hotel tattoo studio. Custom work, flash, and made-to-fade ephemeral ink - walk-ins welcome. Lower East Side, Manhattan.

A studio worth seeking out.
Down a cobblestoned alley off Rivington Street, inside one of New York's most design-forward boutique hotels, there is a tattoo studio that most people don't know exists.
Unscripted Ink opened inside the Untitled Hotel at 3 Freeman Alley in January 2024 - the first tattoo studio in New York City to have permanent residency in a hotel. The space is intimate by design. The artists chose to be here. And the clients who find us tend to come back.
With nearly 200 five-star Google reviews and a roster of artists covering illustrative, fine line, black & grey, geometric, neo-traditional, and made-to-fade ephemeral ink - we don't need to be everywhere. We just need you to find us.
