With a friendly attitude and a laid-back atmosphere, our professional and knowledgeable piercers take great pride in ensuring each customer has the best experience possible. Look at our Google reviews, they are unsolicited and nonfiltered. (In other words, we don’t pay for or offer gifts in exchange for 5-star reviews, we don’t have to.)
Each piercing includes Surgical Stainless Steel (316L) jewelry. Available upgrades include Implant Grade Titanium (ASTM F-136 TI 6AL4V ELI) and Nickel Free 14kt Gold. We can also anodize the Titanium jewelry in studio to create custom colors while you wait.
After your piercing heals, come back to see us and take advantage of our wide variety of jewelry options and styles. Don’t worry, we can help you put them in as well.

KIDS LOBES PIERCINGS PACKAGE $120
*plus tax
Our Kids Piercing Package includes Implant Grade Titanium (hypoallergenic) jewelry . We have lots of styles and colors to choose from! We also include our aftercare kit that contains everything you need to care of the new bling!
Ages 5-13 * No submerging new piercings for 30 days! Yes That means No Swimming!
We love to pierce kids of all ages, but it's important that it is something they want, which is why we prefer to pierce children at least age 5 and up. That way, it can be something they choose to do themselves. It also helps to ensure there is sufficient enough area to pierce so it lasts a lifetime!
Being old enough to make the choice to have ears pierced can also work as a teaching moment to instill responsibility. Your child can learn to be responsible for taking care of their own piercing!

How much do you charge for tattoos?That's like asking "How much for a bag of groceries?" It depends on what's in the bag, the size of the bag Etc. We can tell you, we ONLY price in person and tattoo prices are quoted on the size, level of detail, location on the body, etc. NOT by the hour. The artists experience and skill is also considered in the price. Thats why you're here, Right? To get that $100 tattoo your friend did in his house covered up. Consultations are free, set one up by clicking the "Book Now" button.

How do I prepare for my tattoo appointment?- Shower before! Don't come in here stinking or we might choke before we can finish your tattoo. - Eat before you arrive! It helps with the pain and if you pass out, we may laugh at you or be tempted to tattoo naughty things on you. - Dress for the occasion! Ink Stains! - Have a drink or a toke AFTER we are finished, not before. You won't sit still; it won't make it hurt less, and you smell. We cannot see you if you are buzzed or high. - Bring your ID! We would hate not being able to tattoo you over a technicality! - BE ON TIME! You have paperwork to get through and sometimes we can even take you early. - DO NOT use any kind of numbing creams. They do not work and makes you skin harder to work with! No matter what you read on the internet. You are paying your hard-earned money for a beautiful tattoo let's make it the best we can! (See FAQ section for more information about numbing agents)
-
Can I bring a friend to my appointment?Yes. But do not bring an entourage. It can get boring sitting around while you get tattooed. Some of our artists have things to occupy your friends, but they will have to sit as long as you do. 1 or 2 friends max.
-
Can I take video of the process?We don't allow videos to be taken. You can, however, ask your artist to assist in getting a good pic of the finished tattoo!
-
Can I use numbing cream?No. Not only does numbing cream not work, but it makes the skin diffcult to work on. Numbing cream is topical. It only numbs the top layer of skin, which takes a few hours to set in, ahead of time. Tattoos are done in the second layer of skin, which will be right under all the freshly numbed skin, rendering it useless. In addition, the cream will make your skin taught and very difficult to tattoo and will make it easy to overwork and create healing issues. You will be turned away if you apply any sort of cream before getting tattooed because we cannot guarantee the integrity of the tattoo if it is used.
-
Do you offer touchups?Yes. You are allowed one FREE touchup within the first 6 months of getting your tattoo. However, you must wait at least 30 days for your tattoo to be fully healed . Touch ups are by request only , unless your artist specifies that you may need to return for one and sets it up for you. This is common practice with coverups or heavily shaded or filled in areas.
-
How long does it take to heal?Typically, tattoos take 4-6 weeks to heal fully. At our shop, we use a Tattoo Derm Shield Bandage that will help your tattoo heal a bit faster. It can take a full month or more for your skin to return to normal. Please follow our directions! We did the tattoo and we know the best way to take care of it....Not your friends or the internet!
-
How soon before I can swim with my tattoo?You should not fully submerge your tattoo for at least 2 weeks after it is complete. It is recommended that you do NOT go swimming, use hot tubs or expose your tattoo to excessive sun for at least a month afterwards just to ensure your tattoo is fully healed.
-
There is fluid in my Tattoo Derm Shield bandage. Is this normal?Yes. Derm Shields are designed this way. And it can be excessive. They are breathable. They allow air out, but not in. It is imperative that you leave the bandage alone and allow your body to heal itself. Follow the aftercare directions we give you and you will be surprised at how well the bandage works. After a few days, the fluid will subside and the care needed after will be minimal. If it bursts, then you can remove it, but this is rare and usually only happens when the bandage is messed with. It is normal for it to be itchy because your skin is irritated. But it will hurt far less than if you had no bandage and had to deal with scabs.
