About Me

We are the longest standing studio in the Troy area. All other studios that have been in the city of Troy have went out of business. We have managed to stay in business, with having the cleanest, friendliest, and the most knowledgeable staff for almost seven years. If you have any questions about our studio and or the sterility of our studio, feel free to contact the local health department at 937.440.5457 and ask for Michele Bowman, she would be more than happy to answer any questions about A&A INK and our relationship with the health dept. over these wonderful years!! We also use "Pre-Sterilized" needles for ALL tattoos & body piercings. About us, we are very experienced in tattooing and full body piercing. We specialize in custom work, black and gray, full color bombs, reworking old tattoos, feel free to bring in your own art work as well, plus we can work from your ideas too!!! If you need help designing a more personable tattoo, we can all work together until you are satisfied with the end product. We can get any design off any website for free!! We also offer "one" free touch-up on your tattoo, if you feel it is needed!!! We also have the most tattoo flash (designs) in a 100 mile radius!! No job is too small or large for us to handle! Remember you are never too old to get a tattoo or a piercing!! Enjoy your life and do what makes you happy! We also offer a tattoo special...if you bring in a business card from another "tattoo" studio, we will give you 20% OFF your tattoo...BUT your tattoo must be atleast within a $50 dollar price range. We have half price piercings on Tuesday & Wednesday & Saturday. One other piercing special is for the month of OCTOBER certain piercings will only be $25.00. Those days will be Monday, Thursday, & Friday. We also offer a "numbing gel" for all piercings, for a small fee of $5.00, it soaks into the tissue and numbs that area for a few minutes!! Some customers have said that the "numbing gel" does help take some of the "bite" off of the pain! Valerie is the main piercer and is in the process of learning all the aspects of tattooing.... and owner of the studio. Valerie has been piercing for over 11 years, nothing intimidates her at all. Valerie is from Troy, born and raised, as well as a Troy High School graduate, so I guess that would make her a Troy native!! Valerie is also very patient with the first timers!! We welcome all minors for piercing and tattooing. Minors must bring in either a birth certificate and social security card OR a photo i.d. from the department of motor vehicles., also the parent must have their photo i.d. with them and stay here during the entire procedure. We now offer "dermal anchors", if you are not sure what a "dermal anchor" is, please look in "Val's folder", there is a picture of one. Please stop in and ask any questions that you might have about any of the services that we offer, we will be more than happy to answer them!!! We also carry a FULL line of aftercare products for your tattoo and/or your body piercing, such as lotion for your tattoo, and mouthwash for all oral piercings, and Dr. Piercings, which is a small container (will fit in a purse for convenience) it has "36" medicated q-tips, that has the main ingredient for all non-oral piericngs, as well as detox drinks, urine luck & magnum synthetic urine. The tattooist is Rich Hull, he has been tattooing for over 13 years. Rich is very friendly and knows how to work fast and efficient. Rich is also very knowledgeable about the tattoo industry and completely understanding to the first timer!! Rich has also won many trophy's for various different styles of tattooing. We offer complete privacy in the studio as well. If we don't have what you want we will find it. We will also draw custom tattoo designs for you, if that is what you are looking for. Hours are as follows: Sunday is by appt only. Mon 12-6, Tues-Sat 12-8 or later if needed we will stay late. Call us at 937-335-7413. We also have an answering machine if we are closed and you need to leave us a message, we will return your call asap, BUT please leave a phone number so we can return your call!! Thanks for all your business and laughs throughout these past "7" years!!! Some people often wonder "why" we aren't open longer. Well let me explain that to you...we don't feel the need to be open for "12" hours, ONLY because after "12" hours, your eyes get tired and so does your mind. Could you imagine letting someone tattoo on you after they have already been tattooing say for "8" hours? The quality of the work would "definately" decline and look terrible! Does that make sense?We also have a web page please check it out @ www.aainktattoos.com ATTENTION: Do NOT leave ANY emails on the www.aainktattoos.com website!!! We are having technical problems with that website and we are UNABLE to retrieve any emails from that account!! Thanks!!Come on in and check us out!!! Thank you for taking the time to read this!!
