Tattoo & Piercing Studio · Harrisburg, PA
A Harrisburg tattoo and piercing studio with a deep bench of artists — fine-line, color, neo-traditional, and black-and-grey realism — about 20 minutes from Hershey.
Capital Tattoo Company is a tattoo and piercing studio on Jonestown Road in Harrisburg, a short drive from Hershey and from our own backyard in Grantville. We're featuring it in our local guide because it's the kind of well-rounded, community-minded shop visitors ask us about — a team of artists covering a genuinely wide range of styles under one roof, plus walk-in days that make it easy to stop in.
The studio describes itself as Central Pennsylvania's premier tattoo and piercing studio, with a team of artists who each specialize in different styles — from traditional and fine-line to realistic black-and-grey. Whether you're after a small first tattoo, a large custom piece, a cover-up, or a piercing, the shop starts with a consultation and works from there to bring the idea to life.
Livin' in 1969 every time this one rolls in. Ferg, the owner of Capital Tattoo Company, had taken his black '69 Impala to several other shops before he found us — because most shops won't touch a classic like this anymore, especially once you're into EFI conversions and aftermarket support. Wrenching on it is how we got to know Ferg and the rest of the crew.
We can take it on because we live it. Our owner, Brandon, keeps a 1955 Ford Fairlane and a modernized 1974 Corvette of his own — so between his cars and our customers' classics, we've spent years on exactly this kind of work. A freshly built small-block on modern fuel management doesn't faze us; honestly, it's the fun part.
And what a car. This Impala runs a built 350 small-block with modern EFI fuel management, sits on a set of wheels straight out of a magazine, and the interior is pure '60s couch on wheels — absolutely beautiful. It's a genuine pleasure every time it's up on our lift — proof of what a little time and love will do to a car.
Most work starts with an online consultation. Message the shop on Instagram (or use the chat widget on their website if you're not on Instagram) to get the conversation going.
A weekly walk-in day with a rotating lineup of resident and visiting guest artists. Bring an idea, stop in, and get tattooed — no appointment needed. Follow their Instagram to see each week's featured artists.
Professional piercings with jewelry included, and aftercare available to purchase. You can also schedule directly with the studio's piercer on Instagram.
The studio is generally open around 11 AM–7 PM and posts that day's exact hours on its website. Hours can change, so call or text before you head over.

Capital Tattoo Company is at 3917 Jonestown Rd, Harrisburg, PA 17109 — about 20 minutes from Hershey and the Grantville / I-81 Exit 80 area.
Both. Custom tattoos are booked in advance with a deposit, but the studio also hosts walk-in tattoos every Wednesday from 12–7 PM, and walk-in piercings on Wednesdays and Fridays from 4–6 PM.
Message @capitaltattoocompany on Instagram (or use the chat widget on their website). Include reference photos, your desired size and placement, a photo of the area if it's a cover-up, and your availability. A deposit secures the appointment and is applied to the final cost.
The minimum age for piercings is 14. Anyone under 18 must bring a legal guardian, a birth certificate, and photo identification. Jewelry is included and aftercare is available to purchase.
The team covers a wide range — fine-line, traditional, neo-traditional color, and black-and-grey realism, including floral and dark/horror-leaning work. Each artist has their own Instagram portfolio so you can match your idea to the right artist.
It's roughly a 20-minute drive from Hershey via US-322 and I-83 — an easy add-on if you're already spending a day in the Hershey or Harrisburg area.

Visiting the Hershey area and need a mechanic? NextGen AutoWorks is a family-owned shop in Grantville, about 12 minutes north — we handle auto repair, tires, and PA state inspections. Traveling and something went wrong? Here's what to do if you have car trouble near Hershey — or book an appointment.
Capital Tattoo Company is an independent business — we feature it in our local guide and got to know the crew by servicing Ferg's classic Impala, but we're not a business partner of, or sponsored by, the studio. Studio details and tattoo photos come from the studio's own website and social channels and were accurate at the time of writing; the Impala photo is our own. Please confirm current hours and policies with the shop.
