What Should You Expect at Pens and Needles Tattoo Studio?

Let our tattoo artists in Bossier City & Shreveport, LA calm your fears


When you work with the artists at Pens and Needles Tattoo Studio in Bossier City and Shreveport, LA, you can expect expert advice to ensure your experience goes smoothly. Two of the top tattoo regrets are size and location. We recommend adding ink to major body parts like the shoulders, chest or center of the thighs. Feet, fingers and hands are some of the worst places to put tattoos.

We're proud of our ability to add color to any skin tone, which is something we couldn't have done 10 years ago. We offer free touch-ups for our work so your art always looks its best. All of our materials are hypoallergenic, vegan and sterile. We also use silent rotary machines to create a serene environment.

Tattoos are forever, so we want to make sure you're happy with our work. We encourage you to get exactly what you want, or don't get a tattoo at all. Reach out to us today for more tattoo advice from our professionals.

How should you prepare for your tattoo appointment?

The last thing we want is for you to pass out during your tattoo session. Before your appointment, be sure to:

  • Get your full eight hours of sleep
  • Shower
  • Eat a full meal
  • Trim down body hair in the specific area, but don't shave
  • Keep yourself hydrated


After we finish your piece, we'll clean the area, apply Aquaphor Healing Ointment and wrap it up. We recommend you keep the wrap on for 3-24 hours. After that, wash the area with Dial soap and warm water. When it starts to peel, apply more Aquaphor to keep the peeling and itching to a minimum. If you have any questions, call us at 318-658-9727.
