What We Offer at Gulf Gate
Tattoos
Our Gulf Gate artists do everything from fine line and lettering to black and grey realism, bold color and full sleeves. Bring a reference or an idea and your artist will draw a custom piece. Cover-ups and larger pieces start with a consultation. Walk-ins are welcome when an artist is free.
Starting price: $100
Hourly rate: $150
Deposit: $50 to hold your spot
Touch-ups: Free for up to one year once healed. Lips, hands, feet and fingers aren’t covered, since they aren’t guaranteed to hold ink.
Request an appointment or call (941) 921-1181.
Tattoo prices and booking
Piercing
Every piercing is done with a sterile, single-use needle, never a gun. We pierce ears, noses, navels and much more.
Kids’ first lobes: Two piercers work together so both ears are done at the same time.
Jewelry for new piercings: Implant-grade ASTM F136 titanium or nickel-free 14k gold.
Walk-ins are welcome, or call (941) 921-1181 to book.
Aftercare: Read our piercing aftercare guide before you head home.

Jewelry
Gulf Gate carries Anatometal, BVLA, Invictus, NeoMetal, Oracle and LeRoi. Your piercer will help you find the size and style that fits your anatomy. Bring in a healed piercing and we’ll help you find something new and fit it for you.
Shorter post: Once the swelling goes down, usually in four to eight weeks, come back and we’ll fit a shorter post.
Warranty: Our titanium and gold come with a lifetime warranty.
