Dead Rockstar

Dead Rockstar is a tattoo and piercing studio in Fargo, North Dakota, offering body piercing, tattooing, permanent jewelry, and body jewelry under one roof. The shop's mission is to provide quality body art in a clean and sterile environment, and appointments are required for all procedures, including jewelry purchases and inserts. The tattoo artists are experienced across a range of styles and techniques, including traditional, realism, custom design work, and cover-ups, and clients are asked to select and email an artist directly with their design ideas, placement, and size for a price and time estimate.

The piercing team walks clients through every step of the process, from selecting the appropriate jewelry material, size, and style to explaining the healing process, and questions can be sent to a piercer ahead of time. The studio also offers permanent jewelry, which stays on until the wearer chooses to remove it, booked directly through a specific staff member. For something more spontaneous, guests can try the "Get What You Get" tattoos, spinning a machine for a randomly chosen small design at a reduced rate, available by appointment or as a walk-in when time allows.
