421 N 4th Ave. Tucson, Az 85705
We are located right on historic 4th Avenue inside Black Rose Tattooers.
Unfortunately, we don’t have designated parking for our studio. There is free parking next to the Tucson High stadium on N 3rd St. If you’re not feeling up to parallel parking, there is a pay-to-park lot on East 7th St. and N 5th Ave. Metered parking spaces are free after 5p Monday - Friday and the weekend!
We accept all forms of debit and credit cards, including Samsung and Apple pay! Paying with cash is also an option, there is an ATM located in the studio if needed.
Absolutely! If more than one support buddy is accompanying you, we might ask they stay out in the lobby as our piercing room is quite small.
We kindly ask all clients and guests that accompany them not to record in the piercing room. If you’d like to have photos taken, please ask the piercer first!
For every service, we require a non-expired photo I.D. That could be a state-issued I.D. or driver’s license, tribal I.D., or passport.
What about minors? Check out our drop menu below.

Appointments

ALL minors MUST be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at all times for any piercing or jewelry change.
The accepted forms of I.D. listed in the tab above also apply to minors. If the minor does not have a form of I.D. listed, a school I.D. (with photo) and birth certificate will suffice. Parents also need to provide a photo I.D. with matching last names and addresses of the minor. If last names and addresses do not match, a birth certificate will be needed.
Legal guardians will need to have identification for the minor and themselves along with documentation proving guardianship.
When setting up an appointment, you can upload birth certificates and/or legal documents ahead of time.
Please book individual appointments for each person interested in a service. If you and your friend book back-to-back appointments, you’re both more than welcome to come in at the same time as this will make it a much faster process for both us and you!
Yes! For clients celebrating their 18th birthday, we’ll waive the piercing fee entirely at only cost of jewelry! This applies to a single piercing service. For all other clients celebrating birthdays, let your piercer know and receive 10% off your total cost.

For the safety of our clients, we err on the side of caution and do not install or pierce with outside jewelry. As per our APP Membership guidelines, we can only install/pierce with jewelry that comply to APP jewelry standards. If you know that your jewelry comes from a company that we carry/APP compliant or from another APP Member’s studio, we can definitely work with that!
Otherwise, we have a wide selection of jewelry to choose from all made out of implant grade materials.
The initial backing put in for a new piercing is long to accommodate for the initial swelling. For most, after about 4-6 weeks, the swelling has gone down enough for a shorter backing. Downsizing is beneficial for avoiding snagging, irritation, and migration. For more information on downsizing, please visit our ‘Education’ tab!
It’s not very common for a piercing to become infected. Bumps most commonly pop up after the piercing is slept on or snagged/bumped. Other causes could be ill-fitted jewelry, poor-quality jewelry, improper aftercare, etc.
It’s best to avoid DIY remedies to avoid these bumps. We’re piercing professionals here to help!
We suggest waiting for a minimum of 8 weeks before submerging your piercing in any body of water. Ultimately the longer you wait, the better!
