Today, Derek tattooed New York Times best-selling author Steven Brust with a gorgeous image of “Loiosh,” a creature from Brust’s fantasy novels. You can visit his blog to read about Steve’s experiences at Poking You.

Jave Cronauer, Poking You Tattoo’s head piercer, will be attending the 2008 Association of Professional Piercers Conference and Exposition. Occurring later this month in Las Vegas, Nevada, Jave will be learning about all the latest in piercing technology and techniques. We look forward to this new knowledge so that we can continue to offer the safest, cleanest, and best piercings in the area.

Poking You Tattoo’s Jave Cronauer has just performed his 3000th piercing.

Jave has pierced at Poking You Tattoo for over 2 years, with experience in all types of piercing. For another example of his work, check out this incredible two person ‘corset piercing’ he performed recently:

We just added two new web coupons to our site. Print them out and present them to receive a discount when you receive new tattoos or piercings, or when you purchase jewelry. Now is the perfect time to get that new bodymod!

This week we purchased hundreds of new jewelry items and completely rearranged our jewelry case.

Most of our new acquisitions are imported organics made from materials such as bone, horn, glass, stone and walrus tusk. We have jewelry in a variety of styles like plugs, spirals, and other unique shapes in sizes from 16 gauge to 2″ and and everything in between. Some of our favorite pieces include the anatomically correct mouse ear-weights and the buffalo horn tunnels with internal stars.

Of course we still carry a full range of conventional body jewelry in titanium and 316LVM implant-grade surgical steel. Come visit the shop and we’ll help you select the perfect item for your piercing or as a gift for a friend.

Happy New Year from Poking You Tattoo! With the holidays over, the shop will once again be open from 6pm - midnight on Sundays, as well as 2pm-midnight (closed for dinner from 5-6pm) Monday through Saturday.
