Let's be real: When shopping for a new tat or piercing, it's usually a toss-up between street-cred and health standards. Do you go with the legit spot that may not have been cleaned since the days of CBGB, or stick with a too-sterile Brooklyn shop that doubles as a Kombucha brewery? Fortunately, a new hub has arrived to give you body work with high standards in an authentic space. Head to this well-appointed shop for all manner of inks and piercings, with resident and guest artists available to talk you through your next transformation. Cleanliness standards abound, and you'll be walked through every single step of care with a patient, super-chill staff. Hang around to shop a well-curated selection of jewelry, t-shirts and more. Whether you're a first-timer or an old fogie, you're certain to be taken care of here.
