ADK’s Private Tattoo Studio
If you want a professional tattoo, are a traveling artist looking for a “tattoo safe house”, or just want a fun unique space to rent while you explore the southern Adirondacks, Recluse Studio is it. Caroga Lake is a little over 60 minutes from Albany, and just a few hours from New York City, Syracuse, Montreal, and Boston – located in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. Surrounded by multiple lakes and endless hiking nestled year-round in Adirondack Park.
The Rental
The Shop
Upon embarking on my journey as a tattoo artist nearly two decades ago, I nurtured a vision of establishing a private studio, a sanctuary enveloped by nature's embrace. I yearned for a tranquil haven where I could share artistic expressions with clients and fellow craftsmen. Today, through the invaluable support extended by individuals like yourself, this dream has blossomed into tangible reality.
Each day, I relish the privilege of a mere sixty-yard stroll to my workspace, accompanied by my loyal companion, Zevon. Moreover, a brief four-minute drive leads me to the serene waters where I indulge in trout fishing before attending to my appointments. Regardless of the season, countless opportunities for adventure await, from commencing the day's endeavors to bringing them to a fulfilling close. Recluse, the haven I reside in, offers a myriad of recreational pursuits. A public beach awaits just across the street, while miles of hiking trails, fishing spots, kayaking routes, mini golf courses, and golfing facilities beckon. Additionally, a vibrant array of dining experiences, hunting expeditions, motor-cross events, skiing opportunities, rodeos, state snowmobile trails, live entertainment venues, and more are all nestled within a few miles' radius. Not to mention bouldering, mountain biking, and pontoon boat rentals, providing a further range of thrilling experiences. I wholeheartedly recommend that you pay us a visit and immerse yourself in this remarkable environment.
Should you hold a fondness for a particular professional artist or already support one, I extend a warm invitation to bring them to ADK park. Rest assured, I will ensure they are provided with a safe, pristine, and gratifying workspace. Special artist rates are available for extended stays, and I encourage you to reach out to inquire about availability..

“I am something of a recluse by nature. I am that cordless screwdriver that has to charge for twenty hours to earn ten minutes use. I need that much downtime”

“ You don’t need to be a recluse and stay away from people. But you have to set aside a lot of time for stillness. That is the only place there is real fulfillment. You need to slow it down.”
