Lore Tattoo

Closed Opens 10:00 AM tomorrow

1103 East Walnut Street, Columbia, MO 65201

Lore Tattoo is a tattoo studio in Columbia, Missouri, operating by appointment Wednesday through Saturday. The shop is led by owner Cody Finley, a tattooer with a fine art foundation and two decades of experience creating thoughtful, lasting work that reads as both tattoo and art. The team also includes Rachel Koch, a tattooer with a fine art teaching background known for clean, intentional work built on strong fundamentals, and Roxane Meera, whose painter's eye and style produce consistent work for a dedicated clientele. Ashley Cole rounds out the crew as an apprentice and shop manager, supporting the studio's brand and client experience while learning the craft.

The studio's guiding philosophy is to help clients "wear your story," reflecting an approach centered on personal, meaningful artwork rather than one-size-fits-all designs. Beyond tattooing, the space is part of the local creative scene, hosting First Fridays on the first Friday of every month, welcoming local art, music, and food vendors into the shop. Located down Artist Alley off Orr Street, the studio blends fine-art sensibility with hands-on craftsmanship across its artists' varied specialties.
