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, and Pat Morimoto (Blue Devil) have been voted Best of the Bay two years in a row by the Weekly Planet and in 2010 by Tampabays Metromix.com. 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, Abdiel Pedraza, Shawn Calk, Marcus Lund, Josh Schellenberg, Vic Pitre, Ken Dean and Cliff Shepard along with female tattoo artist Veronica Dey( Miss V ) 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.
