Custom black and grey tattoo work at Drop 'N Ink Tattoo Studio in Toms River NJ

More than a tattoo shop.

Drop 'N Ink is a custom tattoo studio built on craftsmanship, integrity, and a genuine dedication to the art. Founded by Matthew Evans and Max Ramirez, the studio carries a reputation for award-winning custom work and a commitment to every client who sits in the chair.

Every tattoo here is personal. Matthew and Max take the time to understand your vision and the meaning behind the piece before any design work begins. There are no cookie-cutter designs and no rushed sessions, only considered, custom artwork.

Both are self-taught artists who built their reputations through discipline and a constant drive to refine their craft with every tattoo. The studio reflects that same standard: clean, welcoming, and professional, with a crew that genuinely cares about every person who walks through the door.

Clients arrive as strangers and leave as family, carrying artwork they'll be proud to wear for life.
