This practical, professional attitude makes the studio a reliable choice for both simple piercings and complex tattoo projects.What to expect during your visit
Visits are by appointment, so the studio remains calm and focused. When you arrive, you’ll be greeted and taken through the process, whether it’s a consultation, a piercing session or a tattoo appointment. The space is designed to be comfortable but not overly decorative – the focus is on the work, not the decor.
