About the Shop

Artists and piercers from different parts of the U.S with different styles who share a common goal to push each other's limits and aim for the best possible experience for each customer. Hillsborough St. Tattoo and Body Piercing opened with the vision to support art not just in tattooing but throughout the community, while having a little fun along the way. Our staff is always ready to give a relaxed, easy going, fun, and creative environment not just for customers but our shop family as well.

The jewelry case

Pick the piece, then the placement

Every piercing is a piercing fee plus the jewelry you choose, so what goes in is as much of the decision as where it goes.
