Moniques Body Art

If you’re looking for the real deal in the Bay, let me put you on game—Monique’s Body Art at 1861 Gulf to Bay Blvd in Clearwater is that spot. Took the wife in to grab a fresh stud for her lip piercing, and from the second we walked in, the vibe was on point. The shop is spotless, bright with natural light pouring in, and the atmosphere just hits different—warm, inviting, and full of that old-school tattoo parlor soul that only comes with decades in the game. Now let me give props where they’re due—Billy and Bella were absolute rockstars. Five-star service, top-notch professionalism, and conversation so good you forget you’re there for a piercing. They made the whole process smooth and easy, keeping it professional while still making us feel like we were hanging out with family. That’s rare these days, and it’s exactly why shops like this stay around while others fade out. Here’s the kicker—this shop isn’t some overnight, pop-up, fly-by-night hype train. Nah. 30+ years in the Tampa Bay area means they’ve been putting in that blood, ink, and sweat equity day in and day out. That kind of longevity doesn’t happen unless you’re doing something right—and Monique’s Body Art has been doing it right since day one. From piercings to tattoos, this is the PLACE TO BE if you want quality work, professionalism, and a crew that actually gives a damn about you and your experience. Whether you’re chasing new ink or just getting your “stabby stabby” fix, you can bet Monique’s is gonna treat you like family and send you out looking sharp. Clearwater’s got plenty of shops, but there’s only one OG shop that’s stood tall for three decades plus. Monique’s Body Art isn’t just a place to get pierced or tattooed—it’s a landmark. Respect to the whole crew for keeping the culture alive and thriving. Bottom line? If you ain’t been, you’re missing out. This shop’s got history, heart, and hustle—and that’s why it’ll always be the spot.

This was my first time at Monique’s, and the experience was first rate. Everyone I interacted with was knowledgeable and very helpful. The owner, Billy, was extremely patient as I had lots of questions about my piercings and jewelry. He took the time to help me find the best pieces to match my vision and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. I’ll definitely return to Monique’s in the future for both piercing jewelry and any new piercings.

Extremely respectful, friendly, personal staff. Very comfortable while getting my piercings. They even charged me less for having piercing holes i didnt know were even open. Very honest, i really appreciated that. Piercings healed amazing with no problems and placement is perfect. Definitely recommend you go here
