Welcome to The Gay Penguin Piercing and Tattoo

we are treated. Wilmington NC is a popular spot for piercings as well as tattoos. In our many many years working with First time piercing and tattoo clients, we came across the same concerns and decided to tailor our services to those who may feel uncertain or anxious about allowing someone to work with their body.
    This includes people who do not fit into gender norms as well as POC and our plus size clients. our emphasis is on communication and respect. We cater to anatomical differences and work closely with our clients to create art that serves our clients and creates happiness and positivity.
    We believe that communicating clearly and honestly is important and we engage in frank and open discussions regarding body type, skin tone and healing. We are comfortable and experienced with working pre and post transitions bodies as well as differently abled bodies. we are to answer questions about how tattoos change with weight gain or weight loss as well as offer insight for how color theory and healing interact with skin tone.
