Mechanicsburg Studio
717 Tattoo, Body Piercing, & Tattoo Removal – Mechanicsburg
6500 W Carlisle Pike Suite D
Mechanicsburg, PA 17050
ph# (717)620-8590
We opened the Mechanicsburg studio in April of 2011. We had several talented artists and piercers asking for steady work, and no place to offer as a home. So we opted for a new location.
The Mechanicsburg studio is located on the Carlisle Pike in the plaza next to Super Shoes. We are the storefront next to Palumbo Pizza. This shop features four tattoo stations with room for another, a large piercing area, and a spacious waiting room. You can find the body jewelry selection you would expect from 717 as well as clothing, aftercare, and more.
We are open 7 days a week, from 12pm through 8pm

Hi I am interested in getting a daith piercing for my migraines. I was wondering if I could walk in to get it done and what your rate is.
Hello,
We make no promises that this will do anything for your migraines beyond a placebo effect.

Just wanted to see if you guys did tattoo parties
We do not do tattoo parties in peoples homes as it is unsanitary. However, if you and your friends would like to “rent out” the shop for a day, we can arrange for that.
Please contact [email protected] to talk about how to arrange for something like that.

Hello,
I would like to have my lady part pierced but would like someone who specializes in this type of piercing who would I set my consultation with? Thank you
Stop in to see Rev at our Harrisburg location or Gep at our Mechanicsburg location.
Thanks!
Do you tattoo on women who are within their first trimester of pregnancy? I’ve read up on it and it only seems to be a problem if the place is unclean but I’ve already visited the place and my father has gotten a tattoo there and he knows it’s very clean and safe about making sure they use new needles and such. I’d just like to know
I got this industrial piercing by Gep on October 03. I was wondering when I can switch it out with another one.
Call or stop in to see Gep regarding your piercing as he will be the best one to answer your question
Do you require a child to be 16 in order to get a Tragus piercing or can their guardian sign off to have it done?
16 and 17 year olds can be pierced, however, a parent or guardian must be present during the procedure as well. Both parties need to have bring identification.
For adults: Must bring a valid state issued ID.
For minors (16 & 17 year olds): You will need to bring a copy of your birth certificate and a valid state issued ID or a school ID card. Your parent or guardian will need to be listed on the birth certificate or else show proof of guardianship. They will also need a valid state issued ID.
Hello. I was wondering how much a vertical labret would cost? Also, Do you do double tongue piercings?
I believe they are $45, jewelry included. As far as a double-tongue piercing; you will need to speak with a piercer directly about this.
I was wondering if you guys take walk-ins for small tattoos?
Your best bet would be to call the shop ahead to see if any artists are available for walk-ins.
Do you guys offer nipple piercings with 14k gold? If so, how much?
We usually will not recommend gold on an initial piercing. Gold has a tendency of discoloring from prolonged contact with blood and if the piercing ends up rejecting, you will have spent a lot of money on jewelry and no piercing for it. It’s best to get the initial piercing and after it heals, change it out with gold. We do offer a Pyrite Titanium Gold upgrade which you might consider. Titanium is very good for an initial piercing and the Pyrite titanium line looks exactly like gold. It will not discolor easily and is much less expensive.
Hello! I was wondering if Skelly still works there and if so what days? I havent been in for a piercing for about a year and want to come in and have her pierce me here soon.
She does not. Gep now pierces out of this location. Aside from Rev in Harrisburg, he is the most experienced piercer on our team and has been piercing for 717 the longest. If you stop in, I think you will find yourself in good hands!
what is the age requirement for getting a tattoo?
16 and 17 year olds can be tattooed, however, a parent or guardian must be present during the procedure as well. Both parties need to have bring identification.
For adults: Must bring a valid state issued ID.

Hi, I am interested in getting a forward helix and a rook. I’ve been to a pro piercer and have room for both but I’m shopping around…how much for both piercings,including jewelry?

Hi, I was just curious if you price piercings by the pair or singularly? like, if i wanted industrials in both ears, would that be $50 or $100? Also do you guys do eyebrow piercings?
Industrials are priced per each piercing. Essentially an industrial is two piercings and causes a bit more trauma than most others, especially considering the location of them. For these reasons we only price them per one and typically we recommend you only get one at a time. However, that is at the piercers discretion. You will need to speak with your chosen piercer to figure out if they feel comfortable giving you two industrials, which is basically 4 piercings.
The price for an industrial is $50, jewelry included.
Yes, we also do eyebrow piercings- those are $40, jewelry included.
How much would it be to do a forward helix (or double forward helix) or rook piercing?
Forward helix is $35 a piece, jewelry included. Rook is $50, jewelry included.

In order to get a tattoo, do I need a parent/ legal guardian present if I am 18?
Nope. Just two forms of ID.
Do you do Daith piercing? If so, what is the cost?
We do. $50, jewelry included.

Hi, this might be some what of an odd request, do you do ear piercings for kids. My daughter has requested it for her birthday (age 7). I would like to get a quality piercing, not from the mall I.e. piercing pagoda but do you allow minors, obviously with an adult and I’d into the shop for this?
No we do not. Our insurance will not allow it and it isn’t recommended. Also, if you do happen to find a shop that will do it, be sure to ask them to see their insurance information which will cover the procedure in case something goes awry.
Great, thank you for the info. I wasn’t aware it wasn’t recommended and the insurance thing!

How old do u have to be to get your nose pierced
Our insurance allows us to tattoo and pierce 16 and 17 years, so 16 is the youngest for piercings. Pennsylvania state law requires parental consent for procedures on minors. We require valid ID from both the minor and the parent/legal guardian. If last names do not match on the ID, we requires proof of guardianship. We do not make exceptions. We reserve the right to refuse service to any minor based on our best professional opinion. We will not tattoo minor’s hands, necks, faces, or genitals etc. We will not pierce minor female nipples or genitals. Parent or legal guardian must be present during the entire procedure.
Do you accept apprenticeships? If so, how much are they?
