1. Tattoos are only for rebels or outcasts.
-Tattoos are a mainstream form of self-expression and are embraced by people from all walks of life.
2. Tattoos always fade and look bad over time.
-Proper aftercare and skilled tattooing techniques can keep tattoos looking great for decades.
3. Getting a tattoo is unbearably painful.
-Pain levels vary by placement and individual tolerance, and many people find it manageable.
4. You can’t donate blood after getting a tattoo.
-In most places, you can donate blood after a waiting period (often 3-6 months).
5. Tattoos are permanent and can’t be removed.
-Laser removal technology has advanced, allowing unwanted tattoos to be lightened or removed.
6. Colored tattoos hurt more than black ones.
-Pain is more about placement than ink color.
7. Tattoos make you unemployable.
-Many workplaces today are tattoo-friendly, with policies becoming more inclusive.
8. Fine line tattoos don’t last.
While they require precise technique, fine line tattoos can age well when done by a skilled artist and cared for properly.

I took my 6 year old daughter in to have her earlobes pierced yesterday. She was very nervous once we arrived, but everyone at the shop was so friendly and professional (even with a little girl in tears). Chris, the piercer, was so patient while my daughter overcame her nerves and was very accommodating to make sure that my daughter was comfortable. Everything was very clean, and the shop had an inviting atmosphere. I am glad I chose this shop to bring my daughter to for her ear piercing!Christina L.
I booked a surprise Christmas present for my husband with T. She was great to work with and of course knocked it out of the park! While we were there I decided to get a tattoo as well, my first. She walked me through everything and was so sweet. The shop was clean and everyone was super nice!Mark C.
