Why Tattoos and Piercings Matter
Body art is personal. A tattoo can mark a milestone, honor a memory, or express your style. A piercing can be a subtle statement or a bold new look. Choosing the right studio matters because you are trusting professionals with your skin and your health. At i45ink & Piercings, we take that responsibility seriously. We use sterilized equipment, practice strict hygiene protocols, and take time to consult with you on placement, sizing, and design so the result not only looks great on day one but also ages well. Our artists and piercers care about balance, symmetry, and anatomy-safe placement, so your piece fits your body and your lifestyle.
Custom Tattoos
Bring your idea, reference photos, or a rough concept. Our artists collaborate with you to refine the design, choose a style that complements the subject, and size it for the location you want. If you are considering fine line tattoos, we will advise on how fine details age and how to maintain sharpness over time.
Cover-Ups and Reworks
If you have an older tattoo you want to refresh or cover, we assess the existing ink, your skin tone, and placement to recommend a design strategy that brings your vision back to life. We will be honest about what is possible and propose a cover-up or rework that looks intentional, not improvised.
Piercings and Dermals
From ear lobe and cartilage to nostril, septum, and navel, we provide precise piercing with sterile technique. We discuss jewelry options, healing timelines, and aftercare so you can keep everything clean and on track. For dermals and body modifications, we evaluate anatomy and placement to help minimize irritation while achieving your desired look.
Aftercare and Education
We set you up with clear aftercare instructions and realistic expectations about healing stages. Tattoos require gentle cleansing and moisturizing; piercings require consistent saline care and avoiding unnecessary touching. We are here to answer questions during healing and can schedule check-ins if needed.
Artists You Can Trust
Our roster includes artists skilled in a variety of styles, and our dedicated piercers are experienced with anatomy-safe techniques. You will meet the team and view portfolios on our Artists Page, but you can always call the shop to discuss your project and get matched with the best fit.
