With the tremendous growth of the Tattoo and Piercing Industry, the spotlight is being placed on the quality of the studio that you choose. This has lead 1603 Tattoo and Piercing Co. to raise the bar for their clients and future clientele.
1603 Tattoo and Piercing Co. has set out to make new standards in this industry. Since we began in Ybor City, we have worked with the Health Department on procedures to set the safest standards for body piercings. From the highest quality jewelry, to the lighting and tile in the room that you are pierced in, your experience will be like no other. Our piercers Dee Mckinzie,also an owner, has been voted Best of the Bay two years in a row by the Weekly Planet. Recently, 1603 Tattoo and Piercing Co. was noted for our achievements as a body piercing studio in the Tampa Tribune article "Breathing Easier".
With our convenient location in the center of Ybor City the demand for tattoos is high. Skip Sampson, also an owner, Casper Giest, Sean Williams ,and Matt Skinner are always available to sit with you and help with your ideas and drawings. With your direction and influence on your tattoo, we will work for you, to give you the client, the best outcome for a tattoo that will last over the years. From the smallest to the largest, from start to finish, we design your tattoo that is one of a kind and will never be reproduced by our studio. We always encourage you first, to stop by to view our portfolios and consult with us before making your decision a permanent one.
We built 1603 Tattoo and Piercing Co. for our clients. Our studio is calm and comfortable with a family atmosphere. We love and respect what we do here and understand the importance of making a decision that will last a lifetime.

Ybor City (pronounced /ˈiːbɔr/) (EE-borh) is a historic neighborhood in Tampa, Florida located just northeast of downtown. It was founded in the 1880s by cigar manufacturers and was populated by thousands of immigrants, mainly from Spain, Cuba, and Italy. For the next 50 years, workers in Ybor City's cigar factories would roll millions of cigars annually.
The neighborhood had features unique among contemporary immigrant communities in the southern United States, most notably its multi-ethnic and multi-racial population. A slow exodus out of the area accelerated after World War II, leading to a period of abandonment and decay. After decades of neglect, a portion of the original neighborhood was redeveloped into a popular night club and entertainment district.
The neighborhood has been designated as a National Historic Landmark District, and several structures in the area are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In 2008, 7th Avenue, the main commercial thoroughfare in Ybor City, was recognized as one of the “10 Great Streets in America” by the American Planning Association.
