About Us

ABOUT US

Holden Ink is a custom tattoo and piercing studio built on strong fundamentals, creative freedom, and deep roots in tattoo culture. We blend a classic street and traditional tattoo shop atmosphere with a modern, client-focused approach—creating a space that’s welcoming, laid-back, and centered on quality.

At the heart of Holden Ink is a partnership decades in the making. Amber and Crystal have been friends for over 20 years, coming up together in the tattoo industry and earning their place at a time when female artists were rare—especially in the local scene. As some of the first women making their mark in the tattoo community in Myrtle Beach, they helped pave the way through hard work, skill, and consistency.

Today, that shared history and mutual respect has evolved into co-ownership of Holden Ink, where their combined experience, vision, and passion shape everything the studio represents.

Holden Ink specializes in custom tattoo work across a wide range of styles, with strong traditional influences and an emphasis on solid linework, thoughtful design, and tattoos made to last. We also offer professional body piercing services, performed using high-quality jewelry in a clean, safe, and comfortable environment.

Whether you’re coming in with a fully developed idea or just the start of one, our team works closely with each client to create something personal, well-executed, and true to the craft. From first-timers to seasoned collectors, Holden Ink is a place where authenticity, experience, and real tattoo culture come together.
