I get a lot of questions on if I will pierce babies ears and when is the best time to do such? As always, this is a controversial subject (no negativity please). My personal preference is to do them before littles is teething as at that point they tend to grab their ears a lot and this can cause many issues on its own or wait until the little has decided they want to get them done. Will I do them in between that? If the child is willing to sit in the chair (or in parents lap) and not move too much. I will not “chase” a little around the studio. We do not allow a child being forcibly held for a piecing, and we take our time to have the best and safest experience. Obviously at the end of the day, we want the client (little) and parents to have to most stress free experience and feel welcome.

Today I had the pleasure of piercing my grandbaby’s ears. Would I have preferred to do this when she was a little smaller? Yes, but we are still at a point that she isn’t actively grasping at her ears and healing will be monitored closely. (For reference, she’ll be 6 mo this week).

Ultimately, ask the questions. I will answer what I can, as honestly as i can.

Let me know what I can do for you! ~L

Please welcome our newest artist, Maddie! Maddie has completed the apprenticeship program through Dok’s School of Tatz offered here at Chasing Dreams and is officially a full fledge artist!

Here’s a little bio for ya:

Specializing in black and grey illustrative work with a growing focus on Neo-traditional. With nearly three years of experience, I have developed a style that blends bold composition with expressive detail, creating pieces that feel both timeless and personal.

Deeply inspired by music and emotion, I am especially drawn to tattoos that tell a story—designs that carry meaning, energy, and individuality. My work often reflects a balance of softness and strength, bringing each concept to life in a way that resonates beyond the surface. I am not afraid of a challenge but I also do not do realism as a personal preference!

If you would like to book with Maddie, when messaging the shop, please indicate this, or feel free to book directly with her at 641-203-2112.

Need a cover up? Ya, we do that. Fun piece I had the pleasure of doing this evening. Let us know what we can do for you!...

I think it’s time to make the official announcement.
This occurred a while ago, but for those that don’t know, Matt has decided to step away from tattooing.
Does that mean you won’t ever see him in the shop? No, he pops in to say hi and help me with a few things when I need him.
So what’s changed? Nothing really. You still get an amazing experience. Dok and myself (Linda) have transitioned to absorb Matt’s prior clientele and any new clients coming in. If you’re wanting a specific artist, please ask when you reach out, or we will select the best artist to meet your needs.
Please remember that both Dok and I work full time as well as adding art into your lives, so bear with us for scheduling. We try to stay as flexible as we can, getting you guys in just as soon as our schedules allow.

So as always, message/text us for your next tattoo or piercing needs (yes I also sell jewelry and assist with changing jewelry).

Here’s a couple fun pieces I’ve had the pleasure of doing from the past couple weeks.
