![]() ![]() Once vacant storefronts have been replaced by a bookstore, a cafe, a pretzel shop and other casual eateries. Since the shop opened in May, about three-quarters of the customers have been women, said Mike Leonard, 36, Euphoria's third tattoo artist and Peer's boyfriend.Įuphoria's opening comes amid a host of new businesses opening in downtown York. The money came from what she's saved from her job as a graphic designer for a Baltimore County sign company and an inheritance she received after her mother died. ![]() "We wanted it to look different, more inviting, more friendly," said Peer, 40, who said she invested between $5,000 and $10,000 to open the shop at 102 N. You might think you were in a downtown lounge, except for the buzzing as Swartz inks in the outlines of a raven she's tattooing onto a female client's back. And a song from rockabilly group Tiger Army, plays on the stereo. Soft track lighting illuminates the room. The shop exudes what Peer calls "an industrial steampunky feel." The walls, dotted with paintings and antique-looking mirrors, are painted a subdued shade of burgundy. Two of the shop's three tattoo artists - owner Gabrielle Peer, 40, and Sadie Swartz, 21 - are women. I offer gift cards to be purchased at my shop with any desire amount.Euphoria Tattoo Emporium has opened in downtown York with the idea of creating an environment it hopes will attract female clients and help it stand out in a market where there's no shortage of competitors. I do tattoo under the age of 18, with parental consent. Sunlight will cause fading so it is important to use an SPF 30+ and continue to moisturize your tattoo for long-term aftercare. If you notice redness and/or swelling around the tattoo, fever or any other signs of infection, please let us know and see your doctor. ![]() Continue to moisturize and do not pick or scratch. After a few days, your tattoo may start to flake and become itchy. Do not submerge your tattoo in water (baths, saunas, pools, lakes, etc) and avoid sunlight during healing. Showering is fine but avoid hot water and excessive sweating for the first few days. Let it dry and apply a thin layer of aftercare lotion (must be water-based and unscented) and repeat this 2-3 times a day until it is fully healed. After 2-4 days, remove the bandage and wash gently with warm water and a mild, unscented soap. The outcome of your tattoo depends on many factors, including how you take care of it! Please protect your new piece of art. You are welcome to bring friends along, but I ask that no more than 1 joins you in the tattooing space. A book or headphones often help people relax and take their mind off of the pain. It may help to bring along a scarf or small blanket. There is a parking in front of the building. Be sure to eat before coming in and bring food and drinks to snack on throughout the day for longer sessions. Get a good rest, drink lots of water and avoid alcohol 48 hours before your appointment.
