Connor Small
Hey there! I'm Connor “Conboy” Small, the big dude rocking Vans! After ditching my corporate gig in 2020, I dove headfirst into my passion for tattooing. Joining the squad at Carribbean Connection in 2021 was a game-changer. Over the past few years, I've had the privilege of tattooing an incredible range of clients, resulting in some killer artwork and unforgettable stories. As we continue to evolve together, I'm stoked for all the new projects on the horizon. Whether you're into fine-line, black & grey, watercolor, neo-traditional, new school, or American traditional (my personal fave), I’m your guy. Swing by the shop, hit me up on Insta @conboytattooer, or book a consult online. Let's create something stellar! Much love! ✌️❤️😁

New to the roster of her favorite shop growing up, Carribbean Connection, is Baile O’Neill. Baile was born and raised in Jax. Beach. Here are some fun facts she feels you should know: She loves glitter, Crocs, most pastas, Moscow Mules, riding bikes, “a Pirate Looks at Forty” by Jimmy Buffet, sometimes cats, cake, and she is blonde. “I’ve been sticking myself with needles for as long as I can remember, so I’m super stoked to share the experience! Come get stuck by me😊 ”

Tattoo Pricing
Each artist has his/her own rates. Tattoos cannot be priced over the phone. If you would like to price a tattoo, you must consult with the artist in person.
Friendly Advice:
If you plan on getting a large tattoo piece, please be sure to plan in advance financially. It is very disheartening for a tattoo artist and the customer to begin a large tattoo piece and not be able to finish it due to poor financial planning. It is best to have a large down payment to put down or to have a plan in place for paying in sessions without having to completely stop in the middle of the process.
Deposits
All scheduled tattoos require a minimum $80 deposit. For larger tattoos or tattoos requiring more time, the deposit amount may be greater (to be determined by the tattoo artist). Walk-ins or same day tattoos do not require a deposit.
Book an Appointment
Customers who call wanting to schedule an appointment for a simple tattoo (small and does not require a lot of drawing) must pay a $60 deposit.
This can be paid online, by credit card over the phone, or in person. A consultation is suggested for larger tattoos or tattoos requiring a lot of drawing time. In this case, the artist would determine the deposit amount. If the customer does not want to pay a deposit, he/she can “walk-in” the day he/she chooses, but there would be no guarantee of time because we are unable to book appointments without a deposit.
Cancellations and Reschedules
Deposits are non-refundable. Deposits are applied towards the cost of the tattoo. If a customer cancels, does not show or does not give at least 24-hour notice to reschedule, his/her deposit will be forfeited.
Customers must give at least 24-hour notice to reschedule without forfeiting their deposit. Customers can only reschedule twice. After the second reschedule, it is considered a cancellation and the deposit will be forfeited. The customer would have to provide another deposit in order to book another appointment.
Consultations
Our artists are happy to consult with you on the design and placement of your tattoo. Consultations do not require an appointment.
