Euphoria Tattoo & Piercings By: Stephanie Velazquez Euphoria Tattoo & Piercing is located on 157 Depot Street, Waynesville, North Carolina. It is owned and operated by a married couple. At Euphoria Tattoo & Piercing, as literally stated in the name they do tattoos and piercings to the customers liking. They have professionally certified tattoo artist and piercers. This is to make sure that the customer has a high quality-finished product. They take tattooing and piercing seriously because they know that the ending product will be permanent. When you enter Euphoria Tattoo & Piercing the host behind the counter immediately greets you. On most occasions an appointment is required but on certain circumstances you may be able to walk in. This varies on the amount of work you will have done. When setting an appointment they ask for your information and ID. This is to ensure that anything done to your body is legal. When they are performing a job on you it is to be made sure that all the equipment is sterile. During the process the artist talks to you to make the nerves and pain not bother you as much as it really does. If the artists talking to you isn’t enough then there is music playing throughout the parlor. Afterwards they guide you through the aftercare process of your piercing or tattoo. From beginning to end everything is done with professionalism and care. If you are considering getting a body modification Euphoria Tattoo & Piercing is a professional and welcoming parlor to go to. They want you experience there to be comfortable and memorable. Pain is pleasure.
