Our Mission is to provide our Clients with the highest quality of care

in an environment of strong ethics and integrity.

Our Goal is to educate, encourage, and inspire you to become actively

involved in Your Body Arts Procedure.

Our team is dedicated to serve you in such a manner as we

ourselves would wish to be treated.

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,

for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. Max Ehrmann, Desiderata

Our mission is to consistently bring to our loyal customers the very best in body arts.

We do this with the supreme quality of our products and the high level of dedicated service.

In over twenty thousand piercings, we have never once placed in a persons body, anything less that implant grade body jewelry, the very best standard in the world.
Our tattoo pigments (inks) are the very best the planet has to offer (we import the #1 rated black ink directly from overseas).
We publish our own line of aftercare books that are the best in the business, and provide one free with every body arts procedure.
We provide each customer with the initial primary aftercare product free of charge.
We give free appropriate aftercare consultations on an on-going basis, even for people that did not receive art from our studio. We want your body art to be the very best. (our consultations are not to be substituted for an on-going relationship with a medical doctor).
If anytime in the future your tattoo needs touching up, we will do so free of charge when you get your next tattoo. **

The owner of Guns 2 Roses has a long history of bringing quality small business products to the Nebraska consumer. Gary has served as the president and general manager of several successful businesses in the Lincoln/Beatrice area for over 25 years. Gary has held positions as a licensed collateral lender and Federal Firearms Dealer, both of which require you pass extreme background checks.

Gary worked closely with the Dept of Health to help regulate our industry, and helped write the current health dept. codes. Gary continues to work closely with the health dept. and has seen the people that regulate our industry, as clients, on five occasions to receive body art. If the health dept. accepts Gary as someone to trust, we are hoping you will do the same.

Fine Print

(You know you want to read the little details)

** as long as you did your part to care for it. we consider the on-going proper use of a product made especially for the care and healing of a new tattoo to be made on your part before a warrantee is appropriate. If you do not do all you can do for your tattoo, don't ask us to repair your neglect. We offer a full line of tattoo care products, so you have no excuse for not taking care of it while it is healing and into the future.
