Like octopi, tattoos contain ink, are typically found among sailors, and can frighten young children in swimming pools. Protect tots from scary tats with today's Groupon at Crown Electric Tattoo Company. Choose between the following options:

• For $10, you get $40 worth of nipple or Monroe piercings.
For $40, you get $100 toward a tattoo. Pricing for every tattoo varies and depends on the amount of detail, body part, and coloring involved.

Working around the clock seven days a week, Crown Electric Tattoo Company's troupe of body illustrators transform blank epidermal slates into vivid works of art in meticulous tattooing and piercing sessions. Inside the spacious, ego-free studio, ink seekers can corral one of seven different professionals to emblazon bods with personalized designs or traditional color-by-number pieces. Specializing in a medley of tattoo styles including lettering, portraits, and algebra equations, steady-handed artists use clean, sterile equipment when performing each needle stroke. Alternately, parlor-goers can ornament nipples or faces with piercings from six master piercers, who fit standard or exotic areas with studs of varying sizes. (Piercers have different specialties, and not all work in intimate areas, so its recommended to call ahead for an appointment.) Bling beneficiaries can choose from nipple piercing ($40 for a 14-gauge) or the Monroe ($40 with 18-gauge studs), which creates a beauty mark right above the lip to commemorate the perfectly dotted i's of the Monroe Doctrine.
