At 2828 University Ave Suite 104 in North Park, Metropolis Tattoo & Piercing has provided custom tattoo and body piercing services since opening in 2008. Clients requesting styles outside the resident roster's range receive referrals to Seventh Serpent Tattoo on 30th Street for a different artistic approach. The shop is one of the few North Park studios offering both tattooing and walk-in body piercing under one roof. Clients healing fresh ink and piercings book skin-recovery sessions at Go Spa on University Ave. Metropolis handles full custom sleeves and large-scale back pieces requiring multiple sittings and original stencil development over several weeks.
