Anchorage, Alaska may be known for its cold temperatures and subarctic climate, but its body art scene is surprisingly hot. Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska and boasts a metropolitan population well over 300,000 people. That’s why, even though Anchorage might not be the number one locale in America to get a tattoo or piercing, there are plenty of great tattoo parlors within the Anchorage city limits.

-Primal Instinct Tattoo Studio-
2434 E. Tudor Rd.

(907) 929-7659
Primal Instinct Tattoo Studio, which was formerly known as Pacific Rootz Tattoo, is one of the smaller tattoo studios listed here. It is also an Anchorage tattoo parlor that produces stunningly vivid tattoos. The specialty here would seem to be the use of colored ink in tattoos. Some of the artistry is amazing, although the shop doesn’t look the greatest from the outside. But, just as the old saying says, “Never judge a tattoo parlor by its storefront.” And, despite its upstart nature, all of the tattoo artists at Primal Instinct Tattoo Studio are fully licensed and wholly professional. Walk-ins are welcome.
