A space where
your ideas take shape

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.

Things we
hear often

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.
