About the Shop
We've Been Here Since 2008
Mr Tattoos & Piercing opened on High Street in Burlington City back in 2008. Same location, same crew. Over the years the shop has grown, the team has grown, but the approach has stayed the same.
You come in with an idea - a rough sketch, a photo, or just a vague feeling - and we figure it out together. No pressure, no upsell, just a real conversation about what you want on your body.
Walk-ins welcome - no appointment needed
Every piece is drawn specifically for you
Sterile, single-use equipment on every client
Artists who actually specialize in what they do

Tattoo Styles
Every Style, One Studio
From small and simple to full sleeve work - here's a look at what we do, and how we do it.
Traditional
Bold black outlines, a limited primary color palette, and iconic imagery like anchors, swallows, and roses.
Realism
Designed to look like a high-resolution photograph. Lifelike, three-dimensional portraits or landscapes.
Watercolor
Soft gradients, paint-like splatters, and vibrant colors that create a fluid, brush-like effect on skin.
Geometric
Intricate, balanced designs composed of shapes like circles, triangles, and hexagons to create complex patterns.
Japanese
Large, flowing designs rooted in centuries of folklore - dragons, koi fish, and samurai with traditional motifs.
Tribal
Fluid, bold black lines and sweeping curves from ancient Polynesian and indigenous cultures, designed to follow the body.
Black & Grey
Uses only black, grey, and white ink to create shading and depth. Avoids color entirely to focus on contrast and detail.
Neo-Traditional
Retains bold outlines of Old School but features more detailed shading, greater dimension, and broader vibrant color palettes.

People Who Actually Give a Damn
Every artist here has their own thing. Some are deep into black and grey realism, some live for bold traditional work, some do fine line better than anyone in the area. Nobody here is trying to do everything - they stick to what they're good at.
Before anyone picks up a machine, we talk. We look at reference, we sketch, we make sure the design actually fits your body. It's on you forever - we take that seriously.

Why It Matters
Why Custom Tattoos Are Worth It
There's a real difference between picking something off a wall and walking out with a tattoo that was built around your idea, your body, and your style. Flash work has its place - but when you want something that's actually yours, custom is the only way to go.
At Mr Tattoos & Piercing, every custom piece starts with a conversation. You tell us what you're thinking - even if it's just a feeling or a rough idea - and we build from there. We talk about placement, size, style, how it'll age. Then we draw it. You see the design before anything touches your skin.
That process matters. A tattoo drawn specifically for your body sits differently than one that was designed generically and scaled to fit. The proportions work. The lines flow with your anatomy. It looks like it belongs there.
We've been doing custom tattoo design in Burlington, NJ since 2008. In that time we've done everything from small meaningful pieces to full back work, from memorial portraits to abstract geometric sleeves. The range is wide because the artists here are genuinely skilled across multiple styles.
If you're in South Jersey and looking for a custom tattoo artist - someone who will actually listen, draw something original, and execute it well - come talk to us. No hard sell, no rush. Just a real conversation about what you want.
First Time?
What to Expect on Your First Visit
Walk in, no prep needed
You don't need an appointment for most work. Come in during shop hours - Monday through Saturday, noon to 8pm - and someone will talk with you. Bring ID. Bring reference images if you have them, but even if you don't, we can work from a description.
We talk through your idea
Tell us what you want, where you want it, and roughly how big. We'll ask questions - about your lifestyle, your skin tone, how you want it to age. Then we'll tell you honestly what style will work best and what the design will actually look like.
You leave with something real
Whether you get tattooed that day or come back after we draw it up, you leave knowing exactly what you're getting. No surprises. The design is yours - drawn specifically for you, not pulled from a catalog.
How It Works
From Idea to Finished Tattoo
Getting a tattoo in Burlington, NJ at Mr Tattoos & Piercing is pretty straightforward. Here's what to expect.
01
Walk In or Reach Out
Stop by the shop on High Street any day Monday through Saturday, noon to 8. No appointment needed for most work. For larger pieces - sleeves, full backs, detailed custom work - we set up a quick consult first so nothing gets rushed.
02
We Design It Together
Bring reference photos, a rough sketch, a screenshot from your phone - whatever you have. We talk through placement, sizing, and style. The design gets drawn specifically for your body and your idea. You see it before anything happens.
03
We Tattoo It
Single-use needles, sterile setup, clean workspace every time. We work at a pace that keeps the lines clean and the shading solid. Rushing a tattoo is how you end up with a bad tattoo.
04
Aftercare That Actually Works
We send you home with clear aftercare instructions. Keep it clean, keep it moisturized, stay out of the sun while it heals. Most tattoos heal fully in 2 to 4 weeks. If something looks off, call us - we're here.

Burlington County covers a lot of ground - from Mount Holly and Lumberton down to Bordentown, across to Moorestown, out to Hainesport and Pemberton. People drive from all of it to come here. We're also a quick trip from Mercer County - Trenton, Hamilton, and Lawrence Township are all within 30 minutes.

The shop is licensed by the State of New Jersey and follows all health and safety regulations for tattoo studios. Every station is set up fresh for each client - sterile equipment, single-use needles, disposable ink caps. It's not optional, it's just how we work.
We do custom tattoo design for every client - no recycled flash, no copy-paste artwork. You bring your idea and we build the design around you. That's been the approach since day one, and it's why people keep coming back.
