If you’ve ever Googled, “Can I get tattooed on my period?” — first of all, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common questions we get from clients at GRIM Studios. And second: yes, you absolutely can.

So, you slid into your fave tattoo artist’s DMs with a paragraph, a Pinterest board, and a “How much for this?” — and got… crickets. Or maybe a polite “Please email the shop.” Or a booking link that felt way too formal for just a “quick quote.”

Tattoo removal isn’t just about erasing ink — it’s about reclaiming identity, safety, and self-worth. At Reth-Ink, we believe in second chances, fresh starts, and the power of transformation. That’s why we proudly offer free laser tattoo removal for gang-related, prison, hate, and human trafficking tattoos — no judgment, no questions asked.

You booked the appointment, survived the needle, tipped your artist — and now you’re wondering why your new tattoo looks like it’s trying to escape your skin. Don’t panic. That’s normal. But what happens next? That’s up to you. Here’s your quick, no-BS guide to tattoo aftercare that actually works, including the only two products you really need Mad Rabbit Soothing Gel, Mad Rabbit Aftercare Balm

Just because someone has visible tattoos doesn’t mean their body is open for comments, touching, or unsolicited critiques. We know it shouldn’t have to be said — but here we are. At GRIM Studios, we believe in consent, boundaries, and keeping your hands (and weird opinions) to yourself.

Look, we get it. Booking a tattoo can feel confusing — especially if your only exposure to tattooing is reality TV, Pinterest, or your cousin's kitchen setup from 2011. But if you're sliding into DMs at 2AM with "how much for a sleeve?" — respectfully, you're being a menace.

attoo removal isn’t always serious business. At Reth-Ink, we’ve seen it all — from the hilariously unhinged to the heartbreakingly unforgettable. While we always treat our clients with privacy and respect, we do have stories.

Let’s get one thing straight: removing a tattoo doesn’t mean you hate tattoos. In fact, many of our clients at Reth-Ink are heavily tattooed artists, collectors, and body mod lovers. They just happen to want one (or five) pieces gone.

At GRIM Studios, we believe that tattoos tell stories — but not all stories are meant to stay forever. Some tattoos carry trauma, pain, or past lives people are trying to move on from. That’s why we’ve partnered with our sister business, Reth-Ink Tattoo Removal, to offer completely free laser tattoo removal for hate symbols, gang affiliations, prison ink, and tattoos tied to human trafficking.
