The new entrance is located just to the left of the tattoo studio’s original entrance, where body art big and small continues to be created.

Blood Diamond Ink co-owners Sara and Chris Peltier embarked on the move in the fall, and plan to officially mark the expansion of their business with a grand opening celebration later this summer.
