Tommy Spaulding Tattoo Studio

628 Central Avenue, Albany, NY 12206

Tommy Spaulding Tattoo Studio has been serving Albany, New York, since 1977, making it a longstanding, locally and family-owned fixture in the local tattoo and piercing scene. The shop offers both tattooing and body piercing under one roof, with artists Tom Spaulding and Eugene Hernigle on staff. Prospective clients are invited to call ahead for a free consultation before booking a tattoo or piercing appointment, allowing them to discuss ideas, placement, and design details with an experienced artist beforehand.

The studio's site highlights its team of artists as "experts" in both tattooing and piercing, reflecting decades of hands-on experience built up since the doors first opened in the late 1970s. Eugene Hernigle's work is featured in its own dedicated gallery on the site, showcasing his individual style and portfolio alongside Tom Spaulding's. As a family-run operation, the studio emphasizes personal service and direct communication with clients from the first phone call through the finished piece, continuing a tradition of tattooing and piercing that has remained in Albany for decades.
