Why “Fallen Saints”?

“Know that a saint is nothing more than a man who has fallen short of gods glory, time and time again. Yet, had the courage to pick himself back up and move forward, until he found the true path of righteousness.”

Growing up Chris Vann’s grandfather was heavily tattooed, even during a time where tattoos were much less accepted. Chris’s grandfather was an amateur tattoo artist himself, making him Chris’s first glimpse into the tattooing world.

The idea of “Fallen Saints” came to Chris from his grandmother, a devout methodist who helped educate a young Chris in the ways of faith. The quote above was something she truly believed in and is still something that Chris follows today.

Elizabeth Vann

Piercer + Co-Owner

I grew up in Northern California (Tahoe/Reno area), and when I’m not working, you’ll find me spending every moment with my beautiful son, my daughter, my charming husband, and our pack of crazy dogs! I’m a big fan of strong coffee, fresh air, and good laughter.

Body art has always been a passion of mine. I fell in love with piercing around the age of 13 — after convincing my mom to let me get my nostril pierced, it quickly became an addiction! Before I even hit high school, I had a navel piercing and most of my ears were adorned with jewelry. The adrenaline, the instant transformation, and the pure satisfaction of a piercing never stopped captivating me.

My favorite part of piercing is how just one piece can completely change a person’s look — whether it’s adding a touch of elegance with a curated ear, a little sass with a nostril or tongue piercing, something bold like an eyebrow or lip, or something sexy like a navel or nipple piercing. I love being part of that transformation.

Ear curations are my true passion. I specialize in using luxury jewelry and precision placement to craft an aesthetic that feels uniquely you.

I would be honored to help you bring your vision to life.

HOW DO I BOOK AN APPOINTMENT?

Once you’ve selected your preferred artist, you can either stop by the shop, call us at (910) 378 - 7189, or send a detailed email with a description of the design, some photo references, and your preferred dates to schedule. This will enable us to process your request quickly and efficiently. We schedule appointments a maximum of three months in advance. Our talented Associates are always available to answer your questions via phone - and they actually like talking to people!

DOES IT HURT?

Yes! But in the best possible way. Your brain releases endorphins when you go through pain and your body loves endorphins, so yes, it hurts, but you’ll kinda like it. 

HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE TO GET A TATTOO?

You must be at least 18 years of age. It is against North Carolina State law 15A NCAC 18A .3200 to tattoo a minor, even with parental consent. In accordance with this law we have a strict No Minors policy. Not only must you be 18, every client must prove it with a valid State or Federal Photo ID. No exceptions.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY NEW TATTOO?

Every shop has their own recommended care methods. You will be given an instruction card after you’ve been tattooed. 

WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT ARE ACCEPTED?

We accept cash or credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express). No checks.

DO I NEED TO LEAVE A DEPOSIT IF I DECIDE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT?

Yes. A 25% deposit is required to make an appointment. Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable and will be applied to the final price or last session of your tattoo. 

HOW CAN I GET A PRICE QUOTE?

The best way to get an accurate price range is by booking a (free!) consultation with the artist of your choosing. If not in person, then through a brief detailed email. We also offer virtual consultations via FaceTime or Google Meet. In order for us to quote your idea, we need to consider the subject, size, placement on the body, detail, etc.

You are also welcome to come into the shop and talk to one of our managers or artists! We’re always more than happy to help get you the information you need.

HOW DO I SCHEDULE A WALK-IN APPOINTMENT?

Walk-In appointments are available daily and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. The best way to explore availability the day you’d like to come in is to call us, or text us at the number below. You want to get tattooed? We can make it happen.
