about the griffin
At The Griffin Tattoo Co., we believe getting a tattoo should feel just as good as it looks.
What started as a passion for art and self-expression has grown into a space built on trust, creativity, and genuine connection. Every piece we create is custom—designed with intention, precision, and respect for the meaning behind it.
We take the time to listen, collaborate, and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. Whether it’s your first tattoo or your tenth, our goal is to give you an experience that feels easy, professional, and personal.
This isn’t just about tattoos—it’s about creating something you’ll carry with you for life.
Meet the Founder
A.J. Marty
A.J. Marty has been tattooing for over 18 years, building a reputation for thoughtful design, clean work, and a genuine connection with every client who sits in her chair.
But The Griffin Tattoo Co. didn’t come from an easy path.
After losing her previous studio due to a life-changing accident that resulted in the loss of part of her hand, A.J. was forced to step away from everything she had built. What followed was years of recovery, rebuilding, and relearning her craft from the ground up.
Where most would have stopped, she chose to start over.
Through determination, persistence, and a deep love for tattooing, A.J. returned to the industry stronger, more intentional, and more driven than ever. The Griffin Tattoo Co. was built as a reflection of that journey—symbolizing strength, resilience, and the ability to rise again.
Today, A.J. focuses on creating custom tattoos that not only look incredible, but carry meaning, story, and lasting quality. Her approach is rooted in trust, collaboration, and making sure every client feels confident in both the process and the final piece.
For A.J., tattooing isn’t just a career—it’s something she fought to come back to. And that passion shows in every piece she creates.
She also brings humor into the experience—because while the journey to get here wasn’t easy, the shop itself never feels heavy. A.J. is known for keeping things relaxed, cracking jokes during sessions, and yes… offering a “high three” instead of a high five at the end!
