PainfulPleasures, Inc. LAST VERIFIED: August 7, 2026

PainfulPleasures, Inc. is a tattoo and piercing supply company founded in 1999 by Marc Gagnier, headquartered in Hanover, Maryland, with a retail storefront at 7410 Coca Cola Dr. It sells tattoo supplies, piercing supplies, body jewelry, and studio and medical supplies, and claims the widest variety of tattoo and piercing supplies and body jewelry in the world. The company serves both retail and wholesale or distribution customers, holds a 4.7 Google rating from roughly 1,400 reviews, and maintains active social channels. Notably, parts of this profile were filled from search results because the site itself returned thin data.

The shop is open for retail purchase, with a separate wholesale and distributor line — phone extension 653 — for trade accounts. No minimum order quantity or minimum order value is stated. Shipping is free on orders of 99 dollars or more. The record does not state accepted payment methods, and it does not state whether dropshipping is supported. Trade buyers seeking wholesale pricing must go through the dedicated wholesale channel rather than the public storefront, and should confirm terms, volume tiers, and any documentation requirements directly with that team, since none of those details are published on the site.

PainfulPleasures brings 25-plus years of history, a physical storefront, and a strong Google rating, and its dual retail-wholesale model gives studios flexible entry points. The record’s red flags warrant attention. The homepage scrape returned mostly a JavaScript shell, so this profile leans on outside search results rather than site-stated facts. More substantively, its Yelp rating of 2.3 is notably lower than its 4.7 Google score — a divergence worth investigating in recent reviews before ordering. The widest-variety claim is the company’s own. Studios should test service quality with a modest order and press the wholesale line for written terms.
