Tattoo Shops near Wildwood

“I think there is a bad stigma placed on these piercing/tattoo shops on the boardwalk, but after our experience at Oxygen I fully believe these are wrongly placed.
It was our daughter's birthday and she wanted to go to the boardwalk. We obliged, and after passing numerous places advertising ear piercing, we decided that we would give Oxygen a go. It sits on the corner of the building, so both sides are open air, and as soon as you walk "in", there is plenty of air flow, numerous stations for hair braiding and henna tattoos, and some seriously comfy couches in the waiting area. When we went to the counter to announce what we were there for, the employee immediately broke into an informative and knowledgeable speech. I felt at ease instantly. He had obviously done this countless times before, and it was evident. We had seen some places advertise free ear piercings, and thought that was a serious red flag, but actually, it's just the marketing difference of either paying for the earrings, or stating you are paying for the piercing, and getting the earrings for "free". I sympathized even further with the shops at this point. After paying and signing a bunch of paperwork, each ear cost @$30. After buying the after piercing care kit, it was a little over $100 all in. After a short wait and a walk upstairs, Johnny led us into a clean and professional looking room and unpacked (2) one time use earring piercers. For being a young guy, he was beyond his years in bedside manner. He numbed down her ears for a considerable time, as now the jitters started kicking in, and spoke to her calmly and nicely. Marked the holes, which we had a say as to where they would go, and one at a time "click!" She cried for a little, and then, she had earrings!
It's been (2) weeks now, and with the proper care, washing, twisting/spinning, pulling, we've had no issues whatsoever.
Stories and prejudgments can sometimes lead you away from trouble, but sometimes you get rewarded when you lean a little more on faith than fear.
Thank you, Oxygen!“

“I had the best experience getting a tattoo here today with Gia. She was sooo kind, accommodating, and willing to spend extra time with me to make sure the tattoo was exactly what I wanted. The tattoo is beautiful and I could not be more happy. The shop was not intimidating as others have been in my experience, the vibe was warm and friendly, and I felt completely comfortable. I will be back for sure!!! I would HIGHLY recommend Gia!

“Megan did a cover up for me and the quaility is awesome! I have hated this portrait for years and now I love the cover up!“

“I recently had an amazing experience at ink emporium. Our bachelorette party decided on a whim to get matching tattoos, and the staff went above and beyond to make it memorable. Accommodating all six of us on the same day was impressive, and the artists worked swiftly to create stunning tattoos.

What stood out was their flexibility; a few of us decided on additional tattoos, and they seamlessly accommodated our requests. The entire team was not only professional but also incredibly friendly and fun, adding a delightful vibe to the experience. From start to finish, it was a fantastic celebration, and I highly recommend ink emporium for anyone seeking a blend of skill, efficiency, and a welcoming atmosphere.“
