Nightshade Tattoo & Body Piercing: A downtown creative studio

Kirksville’s shopping directory lists Nightshade Tattoo & Body Piercing at 208 North Franklin Street, with a studio Facebook page. It is a downtown contact for people interested in tattoo or piercing work.

Start with the artist and the design

For a tattoo inquiry, explain the design, approximate size, placement and any reference images. Ask to see the current artist’s portfolio and discuss booking, price structure and aftercare before committing. For piercing, ask which services and jewelry options are currently offered and what preparation and aftercare the studio recommends. The business should provide its own current age, identification and appointment rules.

The Kirksville Area Chamber of Commerce Art Walk list names Nightshade as a host site for artist Michael Duncan in that edition of the event. This is a documented contribution to downtown creative activity; it does not establish a standing gallery program.

Check Nightshade’s Facebook page for current artist information and booking instructions, or call 660-956-0372 from the city listing. Verify the Kirksville address when contacting the studio, because similarly named shops operate elsewhere.

For a separate Kirksville piercing contact, read about Properly Pierced.

For an established downtown art space, see Gallery 104.
