Bomber Crew Tattoo has been holding it down on South Illinois Avenue in the heart of Carbondale since day one. We're not a franchise, not a flash-off-the-wall operation, we're a Southern Illinois shop built by artists who take their craft seriously. From bold traditional pieces to intricate fine line work, every tattoo that walks out of here is executed with intention, precision, and a whole lot of skill.

This is Southern Illinois. We're not trying to be anything else. Our artists bring a level of custom work to Carbondale that you don't have to drive to Chicago or St. Louis for, because great tattooing shouldn't require a road trip. Whether you're sitting for your first piece or adding to a collection, you'll get the real deal here: clean lines, a sterile environment, and work you'll still be proud of decades from now.

Roger Ziegler opened Bomber Crew Tattoo with a simple mission: bring bold, lasting art to Southern Illinois. With over a decade behind the needle, His style blends classic American traditional with subtle modern twists.

When he’s not in the shop, Roger’s usually sketching new flash designs, talking shop with other artists, or cruising the backroads with a cup of black coffee in hand.

Jordan brings color, creativity, and heart to Bomber Crew. Her work ranges from delicate fine-line florals to bold designs. Clients love her energy & attention to detail.

Outside of work, Jordan’s into vintage markets, horror films, and spoiling her cat more than she’ll admit.

Clint is the shop’s resident apprentice. Between raising his kiddo and running D&D campaigns, he’s learning the ropes of tattooing under Roger’s mentorship.

His sketches reveal a love for fantasy art, creature design, and bold character concepts. Clint’s passion for storytelling shows in his early tattoo work, and he’s quickly becoming known for his sharp eye and dad jokes that keeps the shop lively.
