Find & Compare Tattoo Studios in Your Area!

Tattoo studios design and apply permanent body art: custom pieces drawn for you, flash from the wall, fine-line and script work, color and black-and-gray realism, cover-ups of older tattoos, and touch-ups on faded ones. Many also do body piercing. Visitors come here with a specific idea and a reference image, an old tattoo they want fixed, or a search for an artist whose style matches theirs.

Tattoo artists and studios are licensed or permitted in most states, usually through the health department, with bloodborne-pathogen training required, so ask for the permit and look for the health inspection certificate on the wall. Ask to see the artist’s healed work, how needles and ink are handled (single-use needles and ink caps are the standard), how the design process works, and what the deposit covers. Pricing is by the hour or by the piece, with a minimum charge for small work and the deposit applied to the final cost. For brow tattooing specifically, lash and brow studios specialize in that, and for removal of a tattoo you no longer want, med spas with laser equipment are the place to ask.

The studios on this page wrote their own listings, and a person reviewed every listing before it was published. If you tattoo or pierce, apply to get listed — free, and done in a few minutes.
