The Team

--Jen “TJ” – Tattoo Artist Extraordinaire
Hello all! My name is Jen. I'm 27 years old and have been tattooing for about 10 years, 6 of those years were with Tattooing By Mee in Lancaster City. I am one of the very first female tattoo artists in the Lancaster County area. I am a licensed tattoo artist and have also received an OSHA certified blood-borne pathogens and infection control certification. I absolutely love tattoos; I have so many that I’ve lost count! I like doing many different styles of tattoos; including, but not limited to: custom designs, black and gray, old school designs, dragons, memorial designs, cover pieces and much, much, more. I am a perfectionist when it comes to my work and I am passionate about making sure that my clients are fully satisfied with their design. Tattoos last a lifetime, so make sure you come to the shop that gives you the best tattoo in town.

--Maria “RiLy” – Body Piercing Artist Extraordinaire
I've always been interested in piercings... I got my ears pierced at the age of 3 with my mom at the mall. Then for as long as I can remember I continued begging my mother to let me get a second set of ear piercings, but she was completely against it. At about 15, I convinced my Nana to get my ears pierced for the second time, and also a third ear piercing on the one side. From that point on, I continued to admire those who had untraditional piercings. At 16, the friends that I spent my time with had found a tattoo & piercing studio that didn't check for ID's. One night we all decided to go and get our tongues pierced, despite the fact that our parents wouldn't approve. The piercing lasted for about 3-days before the ball loosened and it fell out in my sleep, so I went and had it re-pierced. At 18, I received my first tattoo of a butterfly and couldn't stop thinking of what my next tattoo would be. I waited about a year and then went to a highly experienced shop in Lancaster. I had a lower back piece done to incorporate my small butterfly. I absolutely loved it! Since I had received such a great experience, I got my tongue pierced again and had no problems with it what so ever. That made me realize that I had fallen into the addiction of Tattoos and Piercings. I then worked in the industry for about six years, watching others who had also become addicted to tattoos and piercings. As I continued assisting in procedures for both tattoos and piercings, I started to add to my own personal collection. I now have a total of 12 tattoos and a total of 15 piercings! I realized that this industry had become a huge part of my life and personality, so I decided to involve myself further.I'm now a body piercer and will soon be working at "Addictive Expressions" with my body piercing business. Be on the look out for the new addition of "Absolutely Piercings by RiLy" which will be there by January 2, 2008. I'm excited to meet my new cliental and give them a piercing experience to remember!
