Tattoo & Body Piercing Studio – Ms. Deborah’s Fountain of Youth
Ms. Deborah’s Fountain of Youth describes itself as the first and oldest tattoo and body piercing studio in historic Saint Augustine, Florida, established in 1994. Located at 78 Lemon Street in Saint Augustine, the studio provides two primary services: custom tattoos and body piercings, operating seven days a week from its downtown location.
The tattoo department features five artists: Sofia, who is owner Ms. Deborah, along with Erika Boyer, Cora Stebner, Johnny Crews, and Gio Molina. The studio accepts scheduled tattoo appointments and also offers walk-in tattoos on a first-come, first-served basis when availability allows. Minors may receive tattoos under specific conditions detailed on the studio’s appointment information page, and customers are directed to call or email to book tattoo appointments and consultations.
Piercing services are handled exclusively on a walk-in basis with no appointments required. The piercing team includes Chris and Kayla as piercers, along with Tim, who works as a piercing apprentice. This walk-in model allows clients to receive piercings during regular business hours without advance scheduling.
The studio operates from noon to 9 p.m. most days, with shorter Sunday hours of noon to 7 p.m. It notes very limited parking at the front and rear of the building, with a nearby parking garage roughly 15 minutes away for visitors who need additional options. The combination of a long history in Saint Augustine, a roster of named artists, and both appointment-based and walk-in service distinguishes the studio within the local market.
Contact methods include a telephone line at 904-825-0108 and an email address at foytattoo@gmail.com. The studio also maintains a presence on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. With more than three decades in operation in the historic district, it positions itself as a long-running destination for custom tattoo work and body piercing in the Saint Augustine area.
