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.
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.
