Chapter Two Tattoo operates as a dual-purpose studio specializing in both tattoo and body piercing services in Oklahoma City, with experienced piercers who work inside an established tattoo shop on the north side. The studio draws clients seeking professional piercing in an environment where tattoo and piercing expertise coexist, rather than in a standalone or medical-style facility.
Chapter Two Tattoo functions as a full-service tattoo studio that integrates body piercing as a core offering. The piercing operation runs within the same space as the tattoo side, meaning clients walk into a working tattoo environment with multiple stations, display flash, and the operational rhythm of an active shop. This setup suits people who either want piercing done in a tattoo shop context or who plan to get both services and value the continuity of working with one studio.
Chapter Two offers standard body piercings including ear piercings (lobe, cartilage, industrial), facial piercings (nose, septum, eyebrow), and torso and genital piercings. Pricing for ear lobe piercings typically runs $40 to $60 depending on placement and jewelry selection; cartilage and specialty ear work ranges $50 to $80. Facial piercings (nose, septum) fall in the $50 to $80 range, with more complex placements running higher. All prices include jewelry. The studio uses implant-grade titanium and other high-quality metals as default options. Verify current pricing by calling directly, as rates can shift seasonally or with jewelry availability.
Oklahoma City has several distinct piercing environments. Chapter Two occupies the tattoo-studio model, where piercing exists as part of a broader creative practice. This differs from medical or clinical piercing facilities, which emphasize sterility and appointment-based efficiency but lack the visual culture of a tattoo shop, and from mall-based piercing kiosks, which offer lower prices and faster service but no quality control over jewelry or technique. For clients wanting body art done in an environment staffed by artists rather than technicians, or who plan to get tattooed and want continuity, Chapter Two's model makes sense. For those prioritizing speed and convenience, a mall location or standalone piercing clinic may work better. For those wanting a clinical, medical-grade experience specifically, a piercing-focused medical facility would be the choice.
Chapter Two works best for clients comfortable in a tattoo-shop environment, those planning to combine piercing with tattooing, and people who value artist-led piercing over clinical efficiency. It is less suitable for those who are needle-phobic and prefer a quiet, clinical setting, or for clients seeking the fastest possible turnaround. Parents bringing minors for first ear piercings may find the tattoo studio atmosphere less familiar than a mall or dedicated piercing clinic.
A first piercing at Chapter Two starts with a consultation where the piercer discusses placement, sizing, and jewelry options. The client selects their jewelry (implant-grade titanium is standard; gold or niobium options are available at higher price points). The piercer marks the placement, confirms the spot with the client in a mirror, and then performs the piercing using a hollow needle and a receiving tube. The entire process for a single lobe piercing takes roughly 15 minutes. Initial jewelry typically stays in for 6 to 12 weeks depending on piercing type; the studio provides aftercare instructions on cleaning and when to downsize or change jewelry.
Chapter Two Tattoo is located on Oklahoma City's north side with street parking and a small lot. Hours typically run Tuesday through Saturday afternoons and evenings; verify exact hours and whether the shop takes walk-ins or appointments only by calling ahead, as tattoo shops often shift scheduling based on artist demand. Piercing services may be available by appointment even when walk-in tattoo slots are full.
Chapter Two Tattoo serves Oklahoma City clients who want professional body piercing anchored in tattoo artistry and shop culture rather than clinical or retail models.
