# Tattoo Factory of Charlotte – Professional Late-Night Tattoo & Piercing Studio in Charlotte, NC
Tattoo Factory of Charlotte is Charlotte's premier late-night tattoo and piercing destination, designed for modern schedules and walk-in customers who need flexible, professional body art services. Operating during extended hours when most traditional studios are closed, we serve working professionals, students, shift workers, and anyone seeking quality tattoos and piercings without the scheduling hassle. Located conveniently at 5237 Albemarle Road (at the intersection of Albemarle and North Sharon Amity), we offer free parking and a welcoming environment where getting tattooed or pierced feels straightforward, honest, and pressure-free.
## Custom Tattoos & Flash Designs
Our team of licensed, skilled tattoo artists specializes in custom tattoo design, flash pieces, tiny tattoos, and comprehensive cover-up work. Whether you're a first-time client looking for something small and meaningful or an experienced collector seeking your next bold statement piece, we work with you to create designs that match your vision and fit your body perfectly. We handle placement consultation at no charge, discussing size, positioning, and style options so you feel confident before we begin.
We offer weekly flash specials featuring pre-designed tattoos at discounted rates—perfect for clients who want quality work at exceptional value. These rotating flash pieces change regularly, giving you fresh options each week. For custom work, we take time to understand your concept, whether it's a meaningful symbol, portrait, geometric pattern, script, or complex artistic composition. Our artists are experienced across all major styles including traditional, neo-traditional, black and gray, color, realism, minimalist, abstract, and specialty techniques.
Beyond new tattoos, we provide expert cover-up services, transforming or refreshing older pieces that no longer represent who you are. Cover-up work requires skill, experience, and honest consultation—we'll explain what's realistically achievable and develop a plan that gives you a finished piece you'll love. We also offer touch-ups to maintain the clarity and vibrancy of your existing tattoos, ensuring your artwork stays sharp and beautiful for years.
## Transparent Pricing & Clear Process
One of our core commitments is transparent pricing. We quote all work upfront so there are no surprises at checkout. Our pricing reflects the quality of our artists, the safety of our process, and the professionalism of our studio—not hidden fees or pressure tactics. We believe body art should be accessible, which is why we run regular specials on flash designs and maintain competitive rates across all services. When you call with questions about cost or design, you'll get straight answers and honest guidance.
## Professional Piercing Services
Beyond tattoos, Tattoo Factory of Charlotte offers professional piercing services with transparent pricing, high-quality jewelry, and a commitment to your comfort and safety. Our piercers are trained in sterile technique and use only single-use, pre-sterilized needles (never guns) to ensure the lowest risk of infection or complication. We stock exclusively implant-grade 316L surgical stainless steel jewelry as standard, with titanium upgrade options available for clients with sensitive skin or metal allergies.
We perform basic piercings including ear lobe and cartilage piercings, and we also specialize in advanced work including industrial piercings, oral piercings (lip, tongue, cheek), nipple piercings, dermal anchors, and surface bars. Each piercing is treated as a custom procedure tailored to your anatomy, desired placement, and jewelry preference. We'll discuss aftercare thoroughly so you know exactly how to keep your new piercing clean and healthy during the healing process.
## Quality Body Jewelry Selection
Our in-shop jewelry selection includes a wide variety of high-quality body jewelry in different metals, styles, and gauges. Whether you need replacement jewelry for an existing piercing, want to upgrade to higher-quality materials, or are looking for specialty pieces like hoops, barbells, clickers, or hinged segment rings, we have options in stock. We stock titanium, surgical stainless steel, gold, and other materials, with sizes and styles for all piercing types. Shopping in-person allows you to see and feel jewelry options before purchase, ensuring perfect fit and aesthetic.
