If you’re looking for the real deal in the Bay, let me put you on game—Monique’s Body Art at 1861 Gulf to Bay Blvd in Clearwater is that spot. Took the wife in to grab a fresh stud for her lip piercing, and from the second we walked in, the vibe was on point. The shop is spotless, bright with natural light pouring in, and the atmosphere just hits different—warm, inviting, and full of that old-school tattoo parlor soul that only comes with decades in the game.

Now let me give props where they’re due—Billy and Bella were absolute rockstars. Five-star service, top-notch professionalism, and conversation so good you forget you’re there for a piercing. They made the whole process smooth and easy, keeping it professional while still making us feel like we were hanging out with family. That’s rare these days, and it’s exactly why shops like this stay around while others fade out.

Here’s the kicker—this shop isn’t some overnight, pop-up, fly-by-night hype train. Nah. 30+ years in the Tampa Bay area means they’ve been putting in that blood, ink, and sweat equity day in and day out. That kind of longevity doesn’t happen unless you’re doing something right—and Monique’s Body Art has been doing it right since day one.

From piercings to tattoos, this is the PLACE TO BE if you want quality work, professionalism, and a crew that actually gives a damn about you and your experience. Whether you’re chasing new ink or just getting your “stabby stabby” fix, you can bet Monique’s is gonna treat you like family and send you out looking sharp.

Clearwater’s got plenty of shops, but there’s only one OG shop that’s stood tall for three decades plus. Monique’s Body Art isn’t just a place to get pierced or tattooed—it’s a landmark. Respect to the whole crew for keeping the culture alive and thriving.

Bottom line? If you ain’t been, you’re missing out. This shop’s got history, heart, and hustle—and that’s why it’ll always be the spot.

Brought my daughter for a nose piercing. Shayna did a great job! She picked the perfect spot. She was very kind and helped my daughter feel very comfortable because she was nervous. I would highly recommend her.

I had a great experience getting my conch piercing with Shayla. She was professional, friendly, and made me feel completely comfortable. The shop is beautiful and has a welcoming vibe. The jewelry selection was amazing with plenty of stylish options at great prices. Shayla’s skill and care made the process easy and I love how my piercing turned out. Highly recommend.

Amazing shop! I just recently pierced my septum out of the country and my jewelry broke. I found Moniques on google and called to ask if they would be able to assist me with a replacement. Billy and his daughter were able to help me switch out my jewelry(which I read was handmade by Billy himself, beautiful pieces), so quick and easy! Affordable and they were extremely kind. Told all my friends and family about my experience, will definitely be back for more piercings! Appreciate you guys thank you!
