Tattoos & Piercings for Sterling Heights

Sterling Heights is the second-largest city in Michigan and one of the most genuinely international communities in the state, which shows up in the work more than anywhere else we serve. Script in Arabic, Assyrian, Albanian, Armenian and Polish, religious and cultural imagery with real specificity, family names in alphabets that most shops would have to trace from a screenshot.

What Sterling Heights comes to us for

We take non-English lettering seriously because getting it wrong is unforgivable. You supply the exact characters in writing, we reproduce them faithfully as artwork rather than typing them into a font, and we confirm the text with you in writing before the stencil goes on. If the phrasing hasn't been checked by a fluent speaker, we'll ask you to do that first. Machine translation is not a foundation for something permanent, and we'd rather delay an appointment than tattoo an error.

Getting to the studio

Hall Road (M-59) east to Gratiot, then north — about half an hour. We're at 50185 Gratiot Ave, Chesterfield Township — about 21 miles and 30 minutes from Sterling Heights. Parking is directly in front of the door, and we're open seven days a week with walk-ins welcome.

Popular in Sterling Heights

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.
