Why St. Petersburg Clients Visit Ministry of Ink
St. Petersburg clients choose Ministry of Ink for the same reasons they pick the city itself — high craft, low pretense, and a creative culture that takes art seriously. Our Central Ave location puts us inside walking distance of the Grand Central District galleries, EDGE District restaurants, and the downtown waterfront, so a tattoo appointment fits naturally into a St. Pete day.
Ministry of Ink sits at 2700 Central Ave, on the western edge of the Grand Central District — a short walk from the EDGE District, Historic Kenwood, and the Central Ave corridor that connects downtown St. Pete to the Gulfport line.
