Clearwater, FL · Tampa Bay
Tattoo Shop in Clearwater
Ministry of Ink is a premium custom tattoo studio for Clearwater clients, located in St. Petersburg about 25 minutes south via US-19. We specialize in fine line, micro realism, black and grey, color, and cover-up work, and we routinely book clients from Clearwater Beach, downtown Clearwater, Countryside, and the Coachman Park area.
Why Clearwater Clients Visit Ministry of Ink
Clearwater has its own tattoo culture, but for custom long-form work — sleeves, large back pieces, intricate fine line, micro realism portraits — clients increasingly travel south to studios that specialize. Ministry of Ink's consultation-first booking and international artist roster are why most Clearwater regulars say the drive is shorter than they expected and the result is sharper than they hoped.
From Clearwater, the most direct route is US-19 South through Largo and Pinellas Park, exiting at 22nd Ave N and heading west to 28th Street. From Clearwater Beach, the Memorial Causeway connects to Gulf-to-Bay and US-19 South, totaling about 30 minutes.
