About Addicted 2 Tattoos
A tattoo salon like no other. We specialize in women and first timers, as well as discriminating tattoo collectors. A very clean, mellow shop, friendly people, comfortable and creative. You've seen the rest, now come to the best. Lenny offers a wide variety of designs t...hat can be customized to be uniquely yours. Lenny has been tattooing since 1992. Her studio has won Best of Tampa for 4 years in a row from Consumer Association of America. We also have won 2012 Merchant Circle, Circle of Excellence award. Thank you so much to every one of our clients, referrals, repeat customers, friends, family and supporters. Our clients are the best!!
Many women are more comfortable having a woman tattoo or pierce them, especially in those 'delicate' areas. My prices are reasonable and I will work extra hard to design custom work just for you. I am happy to service anyone 16 years and older and especially cater to those who like a lighter touch and a more empathetic service. I offer a huge assortment of designs from the US, Europe, India, Africa, the South Pacific and Asia. I have internet in the studio and if I don't have the design you want on hand, I will be happy to do research to come up with the perfect image for your permanent tattoo. Please see our web site for more information.
As of Jan. 1, 2012 all tattoo artists are required to be licensed in the state of Florida. They are also required to work in a studio which maintains a Florida State Department of Health Tattoo License. (Those working without these are breaking the law, possibly spreading disease because they are not getting inspected by the health department, are failing to paid required license fees, which in the long run hurts the general health of the public. It is also a second degree felony to tattoo without a license and is caught tattooing an underage person, can add up to 3 second degree felonies in one swoop and can land the tattooist in jail for a major felony - 3 second degrees equal a major felony, as well as, putting the parents of the minor in jeopardy for charges of child endangerment, even if they know nothing about the minor getting a tattoo or piercing without their permission. - This has been a public service notice.)

We believe in treating each and every client as we would wish to be treated during a tattoo or piercing. To this end, we treat our clients with respect, honor, and empathy. We offer pre-tattoo skin deadners than can be applied up to 2 hours before the tattoo is started. Currently we offer Dr. Numb ($55) and TattooNumb ($45) (both contain 5% lidocaine) so the client can purchase the product before hand and apply it themselves at home, and avoid having to wait in our studio for 2 hours before beginning the tattoo. We also offer Vicozen, which is an all natural drink that includes Kratom and other natural ingredients that work together to produce a pain reducing and calming effect for up to 4 hours. Many people are purchasing this drink to be used to relieve back pain, neck pain, joint pain, etc. and not even using it for tattooing or piercing. But it does work very well for making a client comfortable for their tattoo or piercing service. (Cost $15) We also offer 'during tattoo' Derma-numb spray (1 oz. $20) and this can greatly decrease discomfort during the tattoo process. Many clients who have a lot of ink are requesting one or more of these options because they have found the products make the experience much more comfortable - and these are people who have been through many, many hours of tattooing previously and can well tolerate the discomfort of a tattoo but are opting for the less painful alternatives that we offer.
Each client also receives written and verbal after care instructions as well as sample sizes of after care products that help them heal faster, with less discomfort and retain a greater amount of ink in their tattoos. We use only implant grade stainless steel and titanium in our piercings. We use single use needles in all our tattoos and piercings. We have in-house hospital grade sterilization (autoclave) for sterilizing our body jewelry and other items used in our services. We use only the very best grade of inks.

Addicted 2 Tattoos.
specialize in women and first timers,
This is the only place I'll get inked!
Lenny created a stunning back piece for me. We worked on it several months, I came in when I had the time and money and took advantage of her 'pay-as-you-go' special and she took her time and made it just like I wanted. I won't go any where else, and neither should you!... Her shop is clean, friendly, has an excellent rating with the Hillsborough Co. health department, and she and Ron both do great work. If you're looking for a shop with talented artists who care about their clients, you owe it to yourself to go to Addicted 2 Tattoos!
DREAM HOME APPROVED
Hi all, I sold my house (FHA loan, purchased in 2016) to purchase a new one early this year. While my credit score was not decent (600-610 across the board, mortgage scores also 600 across the board), I have a crappy missed payment history on my previous mortgage (not g...onna get into the details lol). Tons of missed/late payments, and my mortgage is currently under a loan modification (can’t seem to get the comment removed from my reports smh). I have missed payment over a year, and by the time I apply it will be at least 18 months of late payments. I also had 5 straight 30-days lates on my old car note during Covid (over 2 years ago). I have had some really old charges off CC account for 3 months now. All this became a hindrance to me because I was unable to get approved when I applied for a new home earlier this year. BIG THANKS to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST who gave me a decent credit score (800-811 across board) and also gave me a clean credit report, all late payments and charge off has been removed permanently within 6 days. I don’t write reviews, but my joy of writing this is that I’ve been approved of my DREAM HOME. PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST is awesome, they’re the best I’ve ever come across with. Contact them ON EMAIL: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM / You can also get them on +1 (323) 406 1225.
PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST IS THE BEST
Hey I’m Priscilla Thompson. I had a terrible experience when I didn’t have a good credit score which deprived me from getting a credit card and a good apartment but after I contact PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST my credit score was fixed within 6 days and 7 days later... I was able to apply for a business credit card and a loan which was granted. I will not want to say much, here's practical evidence of the American Express Business Card. You can contact via their EMAIL: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM / +1 (323) 406 1225. THANK me LATER.

CREDIT FIX
Hello everyone I’m from New Jersey. I’m so grateful to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST for such a wonderful work. I had 3 credit cards to which I pay my bills closely at most cases on due dates through pre-authorize debits. I also have a good mix of credit which is stud...ent loan but still have been deprived of a car loan. Although majority of the negative items will be removed in few months (about a year) time. I have a credit score of 528 with so many derogatory items that are from 2 years ago. I couldn’t condole it anymore as most of my colleagues at work have their personal cars. I felt in despair most times considering my predicament. After a quick research of a hacker called PINNACLE. (PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM / +1 (323) 406 1225) with numerous recommendation and that which my girlfriend Luna explained about with positive reviews and referrals. I contacted him explaining my problems. Duly he came up with resounding proposal and guaranteed my derogatory item wiped, reports and scores enhanced within 6 days. With so much anxiety I waited and my greatest surprise after 8 days my report with positive trade line posted on it including a revolving credit card, 801 credit score and all negative were deleted. I got approved for a loan, got my car and most especially got my together. I strongly recommend him for credit fix
