FRIDAY THE 13TH FLASH & FOOD DRIVE! 🥫🍂

This Friday the 13th, we’re turning a little bad luck into something good!

Join us at Have Hope Tattoo & Gallery on November 13th for a day of tattoos, giving back, and supporting our community!

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, we wanted to do something special to help local families in need. We’re combining one of our favorite tattoo traditions with an opportunity to give back! ❤️

🖤 $50 FLASH TATTOOS!

We’re bringing back designs from ALL of our previous flash events, giving you another chance to snag a favorite you may have missed!

🥫 FOOD DRIVE & GIVEAWAYS!

Every nonperishable food item donated earns you ONE raffle entry for a chance to win some exciting prizes! The more you donate, the more chances you have to win.

Stay tuned for a special announcement revealing our giveaways! 👀

❤️ HELP US HELP FAMILIES IN NEED!

Know a family who could use a little extra help this holiday season? Whether you’re reaching out for your own family or nominating someone else, we encourage you to fill out the Google Form linked in our bio.

Our hope is to ease some of the burden this Thanksgiving and make sure our neighbors feel supported and cared for. There’s no shame in needing a helping hand, and sometimes the smallest acts of kindness can make the biggest difference.

⚠️ PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY!

Flash tattoos will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. We can only accommodate so many guests in one day, so there will be a cutoff for sign-ups once we’ve reached capacity. We highly encourage arriving early to get your name on the list!

Whether you’re coming for some fresh ink, dropping off donations, or simply helping us spread the word, every little bit makes a difference.

We’re incredibly grateful for the community that continues to support us year after year. Have Hope has always been about more than tattoos. It’s about the people, the friendships, and the community we’ve built together. We’re so excited for an opportunity to give some of that love right back. 🖤

Stay tuned for more details, flash designs, and giveaway announcements!

We wouldn’t be here without you. 🫵 ❤️

Being nominated for Best Tattoo Parlor in Rochester again means more to us than we can really put into words.

Winning in 2024 and 2025 was such an incredible honor, but what we’re most grateful for isn’t the title it’s everything that has come along with it.

It’s the thousands of conversations that have happened in those 4 walls. The stories you’ve trusted us with. The milestones we’ve gotten to be a small part of. The familiar faces who keep coming back year after year. The guests who walked through our doors as strangers and somehow became genuine friends along the way.

Have Hope wouldn’t be Have Hope without you.

We are so incredibly thankful for every person who has trusted our artists, supported our events, told a friend about us, shared our work, celebrated our wins, and continued to show up for this little dream of ours.

And Rochester, thank you for giving us a community that has embraced us, supported our artists, and allowed us to grow into so much more than we ever imagined.

Whether we win again or not, seeing our name on that ballot for a third year already feels pretty special. We’re just grateful to be here, doing what we love, surrounded by people we love.

If you’d like to help us go for three years in a row, voting is officially open click the link or the link is in our bio! 🔗 http://tinyurl.com/mtxf5s43

From all of us at Have Hope Tattoo & Gallery thank you for being part of our story. ❤️❤️❤️

A little Have Hope crew outing 🎡🎠🤎

Turns out we’re just as chaotic outside the studio as we are inside 😂 Between the sketchy carnival rides, questionable decisions on the mechanical bull, lots of laughs, and spending some time together outside of work! We had a great time a couple weeks ago at Peach fest!

Grateful for this crew and the memories we get to make together. 🫶🏼

Work hard, play hard… and apparently try not to get thrown off a mechanical bull. 🤠😂

Finding the right artist matters and we’re here to help make that easy. 🖤

At Have Hope, each of our artists operates independently, allowing them to specialize, create freely, and give every client a personalized experience. Because of this, all booking is done directly with the artist you choose.

Each artist has their own:
• Booking process
• Schedule & availability
• Style and focus

✨ Swipe through to find the artist that fits your vision best.

A few things to keep in mind:
• Some artists open and close their books throughout the year be sure to check their individual pages or booking links for the most up-to-date info
• Following each artist directly is the best way to stay in the loop on availability, cancellations, and new openings
• We’re open 7 days a week, but each artist sets their own schedule.

Walk-ins are welcome
We do accept walk-ins on a first come, first serve basis, depending on artist availability that day.
📞 We always recommend calling ahead at 585-645-1770 to check availability.

Whether you’re planning something meaningful, bold, or just starting your tattoo journey, we’ve got an artist for you. ✨
