Joel Bauer, owner and resident tattoo artist, has been working in the area since 2009. Through the grace of God, he has created over 10,000 tattoos for new and old friends within the community and around the country.  Tattoo scheduling is by appointment only.

Life is about choices.  After living and working in larger Florida cities, Joel chose to relocate to the small town of Hayesville, North Carolina.  He purchased and renovated an old pharmacy building and set up a studio filled with art, antiques, and an apothecary/CBD shop.

His love and spirit inspires custom original body art.  Talented in a large variety of styles, he is particularly well known for his designs, strong line work and saturated color.
