Some Pieces I'd Love To Share With You
Meet Your Artist
Scott Mckeever
With over five years in the tattoo industry, I’ve built my reputation around putting everything I have into my work and constantly pushing myself to improve. I’ve been fortunate enough to win awards at multiple tattoo conventions, and now I’m proud to own Velvet Needle Tattoo Studio.
While I enjoy working in a wide range of styles, I’m best known for black and gray realism and detailed portrait work. I’ve always been drawn to pieces with strong emotion, depth, and contrast, and I try to bring that into every tattoo I do.
Outside of the studio, I spend most of my time with my wife and kids. I’m also big into charcoal drawing, fishing, and being outdoors, things that help keep me creative, grounded, and inspired in my work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does getting a tattoo hurt?
It can be a little uncomfortable, but it really depends on where you’re getting it and your pain tolerance. Some spots are more sensitive than others, but most people say it’s totally manageable!
How do I take care of my tattoo?
Keep it clean, moisturised, and avoid soaking it in water or exposing it to the sun while it’s healing. We will give you detailed aftercare instructions – just follow those, and you’ll be fine!
Should I eat before getting a tattoo?
Yes, definitely! Eating a good meal before your appointment helps keep your blood sugar stable, which can prevent you from feeling lightheaded or faint during the session. Snacks are also a great idea, especially if it’s a long appointment!
What should I wear to my tattoo appointment?
Wear something comfy that gives easy access to the area you’re getting tattooed. For example, if it’s on your arm, a short-sleeved shirt is perfect.
What happens if my tattoo scabs or peels?
Don’t worry, it’s totally normal! Just don’t pick at it, as that can mess up the design or cause scarring.
Can I exercise after getting a tattoo?
Light exercise is okay, but try to avoid anything that makes you sweat a lot or rubs against the tattoo for the first few days.
