Every appointment begins with consultation and intentional design. Tracie's goal is for clients to feel heard, respected, and involved in creating their art. She upholds transparency in pricing and aftercare, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and confident throughout the process

Studio & Safety Standards
As a licensed professional, Tracie enforces exacting hygiene protocols and continuously updates her training to stay current with industry best practices. Her faith and professional ethics guide her in delivering care with compassion and excellence

Aftercare:
Tattoo After-Care

Wash with clean, lukewarm water unscented, antibacterial soap (e.g. Dial Gold or Dr. Bronner’s). Gently work suds into the tattoo with your fingers for ~1 minute. Rinse well with water and let it air-dry or pat dry with a clean paper towel. Wash 1–3× per day, depending on how much sweat or grime accumulates.

Only begin moisturizing after the tattoo has stopped oozing (usually ~day 3–5) and scabs or flakes are forming.

Patch-test virgin (unrefined) coconut oil on clean, un-inked skin—keep covered for 24hrs. If no redness or itchiness appears, use it.

After each wash, apply a pearl-size or smaller amount of the oil, rubbing it in until the skin no longer feels dry or tight but isn’t shiny—never layer heavily. Moisturize once or twice daily as needed until the skin is fully healed.

Remember to avoid direct sunlight, swimming, and picking at scabs to promote the best healing process.

Simple Piercing After-Care

Wash your hands well, every time before you touch the jewelry or site. This prevents introducing bacteria.

Use a sterile saline wound-wash (labeled 0.9% sodium chloride in water, no additives). Contact-lens saline or homemade saltwater formulas are not recommended by pros — they can be too harsh or contain irritants.

Spray the saline directly on the piercing — or press a gauze pad soaked in saline lightly against the area for 30–60 seconds. No need to rotate or move the jewelry.

Gently blot away softened crust or discharge with a fresh gauze or paper wipe—never pick or tug. Additional rinse is optional to wash off residue.

Air-dry or pat dry gently using clean disposable paper. Avoid cloth towels or using heat near the jewelry.

Clean once daily, increasing to twice maximum only while drainage or buildup persists. Avoid sleeping on or touching your fresh piercing.

On 7/15/2026 Katie Roberts had this to say:
Highly recommend for your next tattoo! I’ve gotten many tattoos over the years, yet this was one of the best experiences! Tracie was super welcoming from the minute I stepped into the tattoo shop. The process from booking the appointment all the way to finished was very easy. If you’re looking for a peaceful atmosphere, get your next tattoo at The Black Sheep Collective!

On 7/13/2026 Brandy Hames had this to say:
I’ve always wanted a tattoo but couldn't help but hear “you’re stuck with that the rest of your life” But a little over two years ago I decided to get one. I mean, I was over 40 so I figured I was more than half way there 🤣 Tracie was absolutely wonderful! She answered all of my questions. She dealt with my indecisiveness and never showed any aggravation. And on the day of, she was more than attentive and made it an overall great experience. I like her and respect her so much that I got a new one last week. She’s also designed a memorial piece for someone that I lost last year. There’s no one else that I would trust.

FAQ

Do you offer faith-based or scripture tattoos?

Yes, absolutely. At The Black Sheep Collective Body Art Studio (Permanent Pin-Up), we specialize in scripture-based artwork and Christian-inspired tattoos that reflect your personal walk and beliefs. Whether you have a specific verse in mind or need help designing something meaningful, our artist will work closely with you to create a piece that speaks to your heart and purpose.

What are complimentary faith tattoos?

We proudly offer complimentary faith tattoos for those looking to express their beliefs in a simple yet meaningful way. These tattoos are designed to share encouragement, hope, and God’s word. Availability may vary, so we encourage you to call ahead for more information and scheduling details.

Are your piercing methods safe for children and infants?

Yes, safety is our top priority. We provide infant piercings using sterile, professional techniques—never piercing guns. Our no-gun method ensures a cleaner, more precise experience, making it safer and more comfortable for all ages.

Can you cover up an old tattoo I regret?

Absolutely. We specialize in cover-ups and believe in second chances. Whether your old tattoo no longer reflects your lifestyle or your faith journey, we can transform it into something new, meaningful, and beautifully aligned with who you are today.

What is scar camouflage, and who is it for?

Scar camouflage is a restorative service that helps blend scars into your natural skin tone using advanced techniques. It’s perfect for anyone looking to regain confidence and feel more comfortable in their skin, whether the scars are from surgery, injury, or past experiences.

Do you offer services besides tattoos and piercings?

Yes, we offer a full range of beauty and enhancement services, including permanent makeup, faux freckles, teeth whitening, and spray tans. Each service is designed to help you look and feel your best in a supportive, welcoming environment.
