Hillsborough Street Tattoo & Body Piercing

Hillsborough Street Tattoo & Body Piercing opened in 2014 in Raleigh. Artists and piercers from across the country work side by side under one roof. The shop opened with a plan to support art in tattooing and throughout the wider community, with a little fun along the way.

Tattoos and piercings run on different systems here. The tattoo side works by appointment only, while the piercing side takes people as they arrive. Between the two sides, the shop covers most of what a person might want done in a studio like this.

What to know

• No appointments are taken for any piercing service.
