John, Marie and Topper have strived to present to the Northern Michigan area, a "body art studio" where anyone, of any age is welcome and made comfortable to visit. Much teaching is involved in their studio, as they feel, their customers deserve to be aware of the end result of their decisions in the placement and choice of tattoos and or body piercings.... Customers under 18 are welcome with their parents/or legal guardian....John, Marie and Topper- offers unsurpassed guidance and after care instruction for each customer,for young clients, the parents approval and inclusion in all decisions, along with aftercare instructions is on top of Pour Boiz Tattooz list.. for anyone under 18 years of age. Sometimes our advice on placement, of your design and sometimes just your design, may sound like we are tryng to be your parents.....we aren't .....this is permanent, and we feel it is our job to make sure.. you are sure the design and placement is ...what you want to live with, and that it won't affect a job opportunity, your employment now or in the future. Follow-up and "help" is always available for any of our clients. And yes; even those of you who have gone elsewhere....and just need some advice.....stop in or call us at the studio. |
