Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a tattoo rest apparatus in the form of a bolster which is adapted for use individually upon a surface such as a table-top, interconnection to a structure such as a seat-back of a chair through wherein clamping elements are used to secure the tattoo rest apparatus to the structure. Alternately, the tattoo rest apparatus can be used in conjunction with a stand, such as a roller-stand with the roller removed, wherein tabs of the stand are inserted through apertures adapted for interconnecting with the stand.
