Tattoos & Piercings for Grosse Pointe

The Grosse Pointes have their own relationship with tattooing — generally more discreet, more considered, and weighted toward pieces that can live under a collar or a sleeve when the situation calls for it. That's a design problem before it's a tattooing problem, and it's one we're good at.

What Grosse Pointe comes to us for

Placement planning is most of the work here. Upper arm, upper back, ribcage, sternum, inner bicep and thigh all give you something substantial that disappears entirely under normal clothing. Fine line and small-scale black and grey are the most requested styles from our Grosse Pointe clients, and both reward taking the time to get sizing right — we'll tell you the honest minimum size for your design rather than shrinking it to fit a preference and watching it close up in five years.

Getting to the studio

Jefferson north along the lake, or I-94 to 23 Mile — about thirty-five minutes. We're at 50185 Gratiot Ave, Chesterfield Township — about 26 miles and 34 minutes from Grosse Pointe. Parking is directly in front of the door, and we're open seven days a week with walk-ins welcome.

Where most people start.

Custom Tattoo Design

Original artwork drawn for your body and nobody else's — from a first small piece to a full bodysuit.

Black & Grey Tattoos

Smooth greywash, honest blacks, and the kind of contrast that still reads twenty years from now.

Photorealism Tattoos

Skin texture, reflected light and real depth — realism that survives the jump from photo to flesh.

Ear Lobe Piercings

Single, double or stacked lobes done with a needle and implant-grade jewelry — never a piercing gun.

Cartilage Piercings

Helix, forward helix, flat, rook and snug — placed to your anatomy, not to a diagram.

Nostril Piercings

Placed to your nose's own crease and curve — studs, hoops and high nostrils.

Grosse Pointe questions

Asked by people in your area.

Which tattoo placements stay hidden under work clothes?

Upper arm, upper back, ribcage, sternum, inner bicep and thigh all conceal completely under a standard shirt or dress. If discretion matters, say so at the consultation and we'll design specifically for it — including where the piece stops so nothing peeks at a short sleeve.

Do you offer private appointments?

Yes. We can schedule outside peak hours and use a private room for the session. Just ask when you book — it's a common request and it's never a problem.
