Custom Tattoos
From a small symbol to a full sleeve — we draw it original, tailored to your body and your story. No templates, no shortcuts.
Muncie, Indiana
Custom tattoo design and professional body piercing in a sterile, welcoming studio on East 18th Street. Every piece starts with a conversation — about your idea, your story, and how it will look on you.
What we do
From a small symbol to a full sleeve — we draw it original, tailored to your body and your story. No templates, no shortcuts.
Ear, nose, eyebrow, navel, and more. We use implant-grade jewelry and single-use needles for a safe, comfortable experience.
Old work faded or healed poorly? We bring tattoos back to life with careful rework and color restoration.
Not sure what you want? Bring references, ideas, or nothing at all. We help you shape the concept before a needle touches skin.

About the studio
Modern Ink Tattoo & Body Piercing is a Muncie-based studio founded on one simple belief: your body art should be as individual as you are. We don't run off-the-shelf flash sheets — we draw, refine, and perfect each design with you before anything touches your skin.
Our studio follows strict sanitation protocols: single-use needles, barrier-protected equipment, and an autoclave for reusable tools. Comfort and safety aren't add-ons — they're the foundation.
How it works
Call, email, or fill out the form below. Tell us what you're thinking — size, placement, style, budget. We'll respond within 24 hours.
We discuss your vision in detail. Bring photos, sketches, or just a feeling. We'll advise on placement, sizing, and what will age well on your body.
Your artist creates an original piece tailored to you. Revisions are part of the process — we don't stop until it's right.
You come in, we get to work. After the session, we walk you through aftercare so your tattoo heals clean and vibrant.
Common questions
Can't find your answer? Call us at (765) 896-9611 — we're happy to talk through anything before you book.
For tattoos, yes — we schedule by appointment so your artist has uninterrupted time focused on your piece. For piercings, walk-ins are welcome during studio hours, though calling ahead helps us prepare your jewelry choice.
Pricing depends on size, detail, and placement. We offer a consultation first, then provide a clear estimate before any work begins. There are no surprises — you approve the final design and price before we start.
Absolutely. We use single-use needles for every client, autoclave all reusable equipment, and follow state and local sanitation guidelines. Your health is our highest priority.
We love it when clients bring references. Whether it's a photo, a sketch, or a mood board, it helps us understand your vision. We'll adapt and original-design everything — your tattoo will be unique to you.
After every session, we give you written aftercare instructions tailored to your tattoo's size and placement. The basics: keep it covered for the first few hours, wash gently with fragrance-free soap, apply a thin layer of recommended ointment, and avoid soaking or direct sun while healing.
Yes — cover-ups are one of our specialties. Bring in your old work and we'll discuss how to transform it into something you're proud to show off. Some old tattoos need laser lightening first; we'll be honest about what's possible.
