My PHILOSOPHY
At Ventura Tattoos, it is always my goal to create the highest quality body art in a clean, safe environment. Tattoos stay on your body until about six months after your death; because of this permanence, I make sure that you have no questions or qualms before moving forward.
Please browse my Williston portfolio to see the process and samples of my work.
I view every tattoo and piercing as a representation of my work. I don’t do tattoos that won’t last over time, or that I believe will be a poor reflection on me. Every tattoo will be one that I am proud to feature in my portfolio.
PIERCING PHILOSOPHY
I believe every piercing should be safe, clean, and beautiful. To this end, I only carry the highest quality jewelry brands in the industry: Neometal, Anatometal, Industrial Strength, BVLA, Body Circle,Maya Jewelry, Tawapa, Glasswear Studios, Gorilla Glass and Leroi.
The gemstones we have available range from Swarovski crystal to genuine gems such as diamonds—which come with warranties on settings. All of my Jewelry is internally threaded and polished to a mirror finish.
Quality piercings require quality materials, so that's what we supply.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Safety is our my priority. I use medical-grade aseptic technique to keep my area infection-free. I sanitize my equipment with a Statim2000—a medical grade steam autoclave—as found in many dental offices.
In accordance with North Dakota Law:
-
Tattoos/Piercings: I cannot tattoo or pierce unaccompanied minors. Minors will need to have a parent or legal guardian present with valid identification from both parties. Last names must match; if they do not, a birth certificate is required. ND Tattoo Law

I reserve the right to refuse service for any reason. If I don’t think an idea will turn out well, I won’t do it. I will not do tattoos or piercings that I won’t feel proud adding to my portfolio.

THE TATTOO PROCESS
I accept walk-ins. For large or complex tattoos, I recommend scheduling a consultation in advance to ensure that I have time to create the artwork to your specifications and complete it to my standards. For the best results, send me your artwork ahead of time so that I can show you exactly how I plan to implement it. I work closely with you to put your idea on paper, then on your skin! At Ventura Tattoos, you’ll never be surprised when you see your final product.
Tattooing is a long process. Be sure you hydrate and eat before your appointment so that you do not become faint.
THE PIERCING PROCESS
I supply ASTM certified implant grade jewelry. This is medical-grade and safe for procedures such as MRI's. The majority of my jewelry companies offer a guarantee on their stone settings. If there are any other manufacturing defects, I will replace the jewelry free of cost.
My titanium jewelry is great for those with nickel allergies, or those who may be unaware of their metal allergies. I take the quality of our jewelry seriously. You’re putting items into your body and bloodstream, and you should be aware of what materials are present.
