Mourning Star Tattoo Studio was born from a simple belief: everyone deserves art they're proud to carry. Located in the heart of Bloomsburg, we've built a space where creativity flows freely, safety is never compromised, and every client feels welcome from the moment they walk in.
Single-use needles, autoclave sterilization, and full compliance with state health regulations — every session is clean and worry-free.
Every piece is designed from scratch around your story, your style, and your body. No clipart, no shortcuts — just original artwork made for you.
We take the time to make you feel at ease — whether it's your first tattoo or your fifth. A relaxed client always gets a better result.
Whatever you have in mind — a delicate fine-line piece, a bold traditional design, or something entirely unique — we have the skill and the studio to bring it to life.
Work directly with our artist to create a one-of-a-kind piece. We sketch, refine, and perfect the design until it's exactly what you imagined — or better.

New to tattoos or just curious? Here are answers to the questions we hear most often at Mourning Star Tattoo Studio.
Every tattoo is unique, so pricing depends on size, detail level, and placement. We offer a free consultation where we'll discuss your design and give you an honest estimate before anything begins. No pressure, no hidden fees.
For most custom pieces, yes — a quick consultation (in-person or over the phone) helps us understand your vision and recommend the best approach. Walk-ins are welcome for small, pre-designed flash pieces, but custom work always starts with a conversation.
Some discomfort is normal, but most clients describe it as manageable — more of a persistent scratch than sharp pain. It varies by placement and personal tolerance. We offer topical numbing options and take regular breaks to keep you comfortable throughout.
Get a good night's sleep, eat a solid meal beforehand, stay hydrated, and wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the area being tattooed. Avoid alcohol the night before — it thins your blood and affects how the ink settles.
Your tattoo will be wrapped immediately after the session. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your piece. Generally, keep it clean, moisturized, and out of direct sun while it heals — usually 2 to 3 weeks. We're always available if anything looks unusual.
Absolutely — reference images are encouraged! The more you share, the better we understand your vision. Whether it's a photo, a sketch, or a mood board, send it our way and we'll incorporate the elements you love into an original design made just for you.
Whether you have a fully formed idea or just a feeling you want to explore, we'd love to hear from you. Reach out today — your next piece of art is one conversation away.
