WE'RE LOOKING FOR A NEW PIERCER 💕

Every day we get to work alongside people who actually care — about their craft, about each other, and about the folks who walk through our doors. Our piercers and counter staff aren’t just coworkers, they’re knowledgeable, supportive, and always willing to share what they know. That kind of energy is contagious, and it’s a big part of why we love coming to work.

Bound by Design has been open since 1993, and over the years we’ve built more than just a shop — we’ve built a culture. A place where experience is respected, questions are encouraged, and the owners lead with knowledge and intention. It’s a family that’s grown together, learned together, and continues to set the bar for what a healthy, professional studio can be.

If this sounds like the kind of environment you want to be part of, we’re currently looking for an experienced piercer to join our team. If you’re passionate about the industry and want to grow in a shop that truly values its people, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now at [email protected].

✨ Weekly Deal Highlight ✨
This week, we’re featuring a piece that truly means something to us: “No Masters” in 14k Yellow Gold by the incredible Maya Jewelry. For a short time, it’s available at **25% off**—a rare chance to own a piece that’s not just jewelry, but art.

This one is bittersweet for us. Maya Jewelry, a brand we’ve loved and admired for so many years, is slowly closing their doors. Once these handcrafted treasures are gone, they’re gone for good. If you’ve ever wanted to add a Maya original to your collection, now’s the time.

To Maya: thank you for everything. For the creativity, the quality, and the passion you’ve poured into every single piece. We’ve loved every moment of working with you, and your work will always have a special place in our hearts—and on the ears of our amazing clients. Stop by Bound by Design or The Chrysalis and claim this piece before it disappears forever!

Art lives in Harry’s hands—whether it’s the slow rhythm of a tattoo machine or the brush strokes he lays down in the studio. With roots in fine art and a passion for teaching, Harry doesn’t just do art—he studies it, breathes it, and brings it to life on skin. You’ll often catch him painting in the shop, chasing the craft even when the machines are off.

His tattoo work mirrors that dedication. From delicate black and grey realism to bold, expressive color, Harry moves effortlessly between styles. Portraits, animals, botanicals, surreal ideas—whatever you’re dreaming up, he can translate it into something permanent and powerful. There’s a precision and emotional depth in everything he creates, no matter the subject or palette.

If you’re looking for a piece that feels deeply considered, technically sound, and artistically grounded, Harry’s the one to work with. He’s not just putting ink on skin—he’s turning your ideas into something timeless. Reach out and book your next tattoo with an artist who brings fine art focus to every needle stroke
