Quick Trip
The quick Lima Road run to a tattoo shop near Huntertown
If you want a tattoo shop near Huntertown, Grade A is about as close as it gets without being in town. We do not have a studio in Huntertown, but our Glenbrook Square studio is about 9 miles south, and the drive down SR-3, better known as Lima Rd, takes roughly 15 minutes. For north Allen County, that makes it one of the easiest Grade A visits there is.
Glenbrook sits on the north side of Fort Wayne near Coldwater Rd and Coliseum Blvd. We are inside the mall at 4201 Coldwater Rd, Suite B-03, with free parking in the mall lots. Phone and hours are on the Glenbrook location page.
The Studio
Inside the Glenbrook studio Huntertown clients use
Glenbrook opened in 2010 as our second Fort Wayne location. It focuses on tattoos and body piercing, and the team includes tattoo artists such as Corey Stripe, Miguel Rojas and Tyesha Underwood, plus piercers Bella Mertz and Marc. Rosters change, so check the artists page for the current lineup.
Because the studio is inside the mall, it is easy to fold a Huntertown tattoo appointment into a regular shopping trip. Coming with a friend who wants a piercing while you get tattooed? One trip can cover both. Hours run 10 AM to 8 PM Monday through Thursday, until 10 PM on Friday and Saturday, and noon to 6 PM on Sunday.
Piercing Jewelry
Huntertown piercing and the jewelry we use
A piercing at Glenbrook takes about 30 minutes, and starter jewelry is part of the price. What goes in your new piercing matters as much as the placement, so we only use body jewelry in these materials:
- Implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136)
- 14k and 18k solid gold
- High-quality surgical steel
- All nickel-free, with premium upgrades available for an extra cost
Book or Walk In
Booking versus walking in from Huntertown
With a 15-minute drive to this tattoo shop near Huntertown, you have options. Walk-ins are welcome every day of the week, subject to artist availability, and they work best for small designs and piercings. If you want to try it, call (260) 471-3100 first to hear the wait.
For a sleeve, a back piece or detailed custom art, book instead. A booked appointment starts with a free consultation, where your artist turns your references into an original design and gives you a price based on size, detail, placement and time. Some bookings need a non-refundable deposit, applied to the final cost. Start on our booking page.

Healing
Healing your Huntertown piercing or tattoo
