TNT Tattoos and Piercings was founded on a simple belief: your body art should reflect who you are — not someone else's template. Located in the heart of Akron on North Main Street, we've built a reputation for clean lines, bold concepts, and an atmosphere where first-timers feel just as welcome as seasoned collectors.
Every studio visit follows strict hygiene protocols — single-use needles, barrier-protected equipment, and hospital-grade sterilization. Because great art means nothing if it isn't safe.

I walked in nervous about my first tattoo. The team made me feel completely at ease — the whole experience was smooth from start to finish. My sleeve turned out better than I imagined.
Best piercing studio in the area, hands down. Clean, professional, and they actually listen to what you want. Got my septum done here and couldn't be happier with the result.
They covered up an old regrettable tattoo from my college days and now it looks like it was always meant to be there. Absolute artists. Worth every mile I drove to get here.
Walk-ins are welcome for smaller pieces and piercings, but appointments are recommended — especially for custom tattoos, large pieces, or cover-ups. Call ahead to secure your spot.
Absolutely. We follow strict OSHA and state health guidelines. All needles are single-use and sterile, equipment is barrier-protected, and the studio is disinfected between every client.
Get a good night's sleep, eat a solid meal beforehand, stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol the night before. Wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the area being tattooed.
We use only implant-grade titanium, 14k+ gold, and surgical steel — all nickel-free. We carry a range of styles and can order specialty pieces if needed.
We provide detailed aftercare instructions with every session. 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 until healed.
Yes — cover-ups are one of our specialties. Bring in your old work and we'll design something new that transforms it. Even faded or botched tattoos can become stunning pieces.
