Paradise Tattoo is the oldest studio in the Florida Keys.

Established in 1992 by Greg Eppy, Paradise Tattoo is the oldest studio in the Florida Keys. In 2007, after successfully fighting to overturn a 40 year ban on tattooing within the city of Key West, Greg moved Paradise Tattoo from Stock Island to the heart of world famous Duval St.

Since then Greg and his staff have had the pleasure of meeting, tattooing, and piercing some amazing people from our small vibrant community, but also from all over the world, and all walks of life.

All of the Tattoo artists have been hand picked by Greg for their unparalleled talent.

Greg takes pride in having made Paradise Tattoo a welcoming space where our diverse clientele are made to feel comfortable, and are always greeted with a smile by the friendly, knowledgeable staff.
