Formerly of Dave's House of Pain LLC, after 7 strong years we've decided to rebrand as Brookside Tattoos & Aesthetics LLC to offer Paramedical tattooing services along with all the years of tattoo and piercing experience!  Over the years clients have come in with scars they wanted tattoos to camouflage, and also people who have had disfiguring events or cancer happen that caused them to need reconstruction tattooing. It has been brought to our attention that more services related to tattooing need to be offered in our studio, such as 3d nipple reconstruction tattooing and microneedling to allow more ink to retain in skin near areas of scarring after surgeries.  With our name rebrand, we offer more services to help make more people feel whole again as we continue to keep doing what we do with our first love of tattooing!  All pictures in photo gallery are tattoos by Dave! Enjoy them by the hundreds that we've uploaded to the gallery!  Cover ups, Portraits, Sleeves, you name it!
