Trader Bob's Tattoo is a longstanding tattoo shop in St. Louis, Missouri, billed as the city's oldest and finest. The studio's history traces back through St. Louis tattoo legends, with roots connected to Bert Grimm and Queen Mary, and it carries that traditional lineage forward as part of its identity today. The shop welcomes walk-ins every day of the week, open daily from noon to 8pm, making it an accessible spot for spontaneous ink as well as planned appointments.
The shop is home to a full team of resident artists, including Nate Strautkalns, Matt Crary, John Thomas, Mike Rodriguez, Jake Jegel, Tyler Beck, and August Jones, each building their own portfolios and booking their own clients directly. Work coming out of the studio spans bold traditional flash, black and gray pieces, bright color tattoos, and detailed portrait work. The shop also keeps its flash rotating with new sheets released monthly for walk-in customers to choose from. With its brick storefront and neon-lit signage on South Jefferson Avenue, Trader Bob's maintains a classic, old-school tattoo parlor atmosphere true to its historic St. Louis roots.
