I would first like to say that I have spent a great deal of my life in tattoo studios. Long before I was allowed to have my first piece done I would spend hours with my parents and other family getting work done on them. I can’t count on both hands how many studios I’ve been in. And I can say with confidence I’ve known and met hundreds of tattoo artists. So when I say that Paper Moon Tattoo Company has been the best studio I’ve had the pleasure of being in know that I mean it.The tattoo is phenomenal. It’s clean and I’ve already gotten so many compliments on it. I gave Adam some admittedly vague concepts for what I wanted expecting to tweak the design day of. However I was surprised by how great it looked when I saw it the first time. He had drafted up the exact thing I had conjured in my mind without being judgmental or rude. Which is an occurrence I see very little of.As a feminine person I know first hand the attitudes and mistreatment that is prevalent in this community. Not only have I been inappropriately touched or hurt by previous tattoo artists, but so have the majority of my female friends. The relationship between a client and their artist is one of intimacy and trust. Adam has been only the second artist I’ve worked with or known that I can say I truly trust.I won’t lie, I was hesitant to meet him after booking my appointment. But the atmosphere and community that Adam and Jordan have created exemplifies what should be happening in every other tattoo studio across the country. Paper Moon was the most welcoming and non intimidating studio I’ve had the joy of being in. It’s taken 25 years to find a studio and group of artists that have made me feel genuinely safe and comfortable.I have a handful of friends who stopped getting tattoos or piercings done due to poor experiences with multiple artists. I am so happy that I now have a place to send them so they too can feel safe. If you’re looking for a new home shop PMC is worthy of looking into. I cannot wait to go back down and work with both Adam and Jordan. So thank you again to this incredible staff for being everything the modern tattoo and body mod community needs. If every other artist could follow in your lead we’d be a much better community.

Right off the bat, Paper Moon has a relaxing atmosphere. I was greeted right away and was given instructions for filling out my personal information. My artist, Adam, came over quickly and discussed my design, placement, and size. All of the staff were friendly and personable. Adam made me feel comfortable, frequently checked in with me, and gave me a ton of reassurance by telling me how well I was doing for my first larger piece. I cant recommend Paper Moon enough!!!

Jordan did my first 3 tattoos and my mom and sisters first tattoo. I got 2 tattoos with handwriting and she recreated it exactly. We had a phenomenal first tattoo experience. There was nothing that could have made it better, because it was perfect. The tattoo shop is so professional and they clean very thoroughly between each person. We cant wait to come back to Jordan to get some more!

Paper Moons the place to beat people! These individuals bring your ideas to life way more then you could even imagine! Ive been going to Adam for all my tattoo needs way before he was cool! (No matter what he says!) Ive seen Jordan go from apprentice to artist and her talent still blows my mind! Although shes kinda quite, and like, makes weird faces, thats kinda distracting.... shes alright! Ya need anything peirced? Mrs Jessie Lee is the chick to do it! Her confidence and comforting nature can help you through the whole process! Everyone at the shop is beyond kind, friendly and fun! They truly make the atmosphere so enjoyable no matter what your having done. 🖤

Initially I was frustrated by the comments from one artist to their client about how masking is about social control and how masking is comparable to child abuse. I still think making that comparison in any place of business is incredibly unprofessional.The tattoo came out perfect and I am very happy with it. If youre less sensitive than I am, I recommend stopping in. They are very talented.

Jordan is fantastic and her artwork is beautiful. I was very satisfied with my appointment experience.

I love this place! Its very clean. Everyone is super friendly and the art is top notch. ❤️

Literally the best place to get a tattoo I have been there twice and I have never been disappointed! Both amazing artist! I’ve been other places to get tattoos but I always will recommend this place!

The Paper Moon Tattoo Company is as advertised; if there was a 6th star, they deserve it! From the moment my wife and I walked in, there was a “welcome-to-the-family” vibe that immediately made you feel welcomed. Adam is remarkable, and the work he did bringing my ideas together exceeded my own expectations. Thank you for the memories, guys; we will be back!

I’ve been with Adam at different places over the last 13 years getting tattoos every so often. What he, Jessie, Jordan, and Sierra have created is nothing short of incredible. The atmosphere is fantastic, the shop is immaculate, they are so professional...and on top of it all the quality of their work is unsurpassed. I truly enjoy going in and being a canvas for these highly talented artists!

Paper Moon is THE PLACE to go for all of your tattoo and piercing needs. Its a warm and welcoming environment from the first moment you step through the door. Their talent is unmatched and your tattoos will be works of art. I cant wait to come back!

Went with a friend to get a piercing with Jessie! We had such a fun time! The atmosphere is amazing and makes it feel like family! Jessie is very knowledgeable about what she does and makes everyone feel super comfortable! I will continue to go here for every piercing I want! Best birthday!! ❤️❤️

I’ve gotten a tattoo and my belly button pierced and this place is amazing! Not only are they very very good at what they do, they are very nice, and very customer oriented. I’m coming back every time their book opens.

Paper Moon has the best vibe! It is clean and friendly, and they make you feel like family from the time you walk in the door. They value every customer. Top it off with absolutely top notch art work and professionalism and you are crazy to go anywhere else. You won’t regret it!

We went to get my daughters ears pierced for her birthday. Jessie did a great job making sure she felt comfortable and explaining each step. The environment was clean and the staff was very welcoming.

Absolutely amazing staff, nicest people I’ve ever met. She talked me through the whole piercing, couldn’t of asked for anyone better. This is the place to go.

Jess was my piercer she was very nice and made everyone comfortable. She gave us tips and tricks to help our piercing and made sure that we could ask questions to make sure we knew everything we needed to know. Would definitely come back!

This place was amazing. Drove 4 hours here and well worth it. Adam is a truly gifted artist and I won’t go anywhere else. Entire staff made me feel very comfortable.

The entire Paper Moon crew is AMAZING!!! My fiance and I have never had such a good experience in a shop. Ive personally been tattooed by Jordan. She is a magical person and artist! I doubt we will ever go anywhere else! The 2 hr drive is totally worth it. 100 out of 10!!! :D

I got my first tattoo from Adam at Paper Moon. He sat down with me and helped me design exactly what I wanted and what would look good. He was able to take my dad’s signature off a card and turn it into a beautiful tattoo. He has a very gentle touch and is great with his clients. The shop is also immaculate! Great tattoo for a reasonable price.Thank you Adam!

Paper Moon is definitely the best tattoo shop in central PA. You only have to take a look at Adam and Jordan’s portfolios to see how talented they are, but what keeps me coming back is how friendly and family oriented the shop is. You get an awesome, beautiful tattoo and an awesome experience! They are extremely fair with their pricing. Highly suggest this shop to anyone and everyone!

The Paper Moon Tattoo experience was great for the start, starting with reviewing art, discussion of options and the down home like family atmosphere, and finishing with excellent artwork and aftercare instruction. Never in a rush and made me feel like my happiness and comfort was a priority.I was very happy to be part of their family for a day.

Definitely the best tattoo parlor in State College. It is impossible to have a bad experience here; between the insane talent of Jordan and Adam and the very easy going attitude of the entire shop its an instant recipe for a good time and an amazing tattoo!

The studio is so clean and cute. They were so helpful and awesome to work with!

I could seriously gush forever about my latest experience at Paper Moon. I am completely obsessed with Jordan. She spent time to make sure my designs were perfect; it was such collaborative and thoughtful process. My tattoos are GORGEOUS. She has amazing attention to detail and was very patient with me. She is kind and pleasure to be around. I dont have plans for more tattoos right now, but I will never go to anyone else. Cannot recommend her enough!

Got my first tattoo ever at Paper Moon about 3 weeks ago. Very nice shop, comfortable, spotlessly clean. Truly feels like home. Was greeted on time and seated. Loved the design created for me so much. Adam took the time to explain everything thoroughly. I cannot wait to come back!

Adam, Jordan, and the entire crew at Paper Moon are the most down to earth people you will ever have the pleasure of meeting.Their work all across the board is consistently fantastic and amazing. Your skin is their canvas and they make beautiful art. Both of them are truly magicians. Not only is their work on point, but their standards for their business is outstanding. The shop is absolutely clean and hygienic and the they take every measure to make sure you feel comfortable.The whole shop is friendly and hospitable. Each one of them will make you feel comfortable in every sense, whether youre getting your first tattoo or more. They all treat you like family and Paper Moon is hands down the best place to get your ink. I couldnt be happier and more satisfied. If youre looking for amazing place to get your tattoo done, look no further.

I had a great experience with Jordan! The place is clean, she kept me comfortable the whole time, and my tattoo looks great. Will definitely be returning!

This isnt your typical tattoo shop. From the moment you walk through the door to the time you leave you feel like family!! Its the most layed back down to earth shop Ive ever been in. Not only is the quality of the work above and beyond the quality of the people is much more. The shop has such a homey feeling and the cleanliness is top notch. Ive been getting tattooed by Adam for going on 10 years and plan to continue for at least another 10. Were to the point where my entire family is getting tattoed by either Adam or Jordan and no matter which artist you choose you wont be disappointed. If you havent checked out the shop yet I highly recommend doing so.

Hopeing to get it in the future. I have a hard time finding a tattoo they did, that I didnt like.

Paper Moon offers the best tattoos in the area. They are professional, kind, and super talented. I love my tattoo and honestly it will be hard to go anywhere else after going to Paper Moon.

This is not your average tattoo shop. It’s a place with the Best Artists, and top notch people. You’ll be amazed at their artistic excellence. And once you’re there, you’re family! Each return visit it’s like coming home! I love all of them at Paper Moon!

Papermoon Tattoo has been my go go place for my last Tattoo and Piercing. Adam and Jessie are great. When I’m in the shop, I feel welcomed, at ease, apart of the group and well taken care of. I would recommend Papermoon Tattoo to anyone looking for beautiful work and a good time. Jessie and Adam are two of my favorite people! ❤️❤️

I have been in this shop many times, i trust this amazing crew with everything i come to them with. I was just here again 3 weeks ago for an appointment with jessie for a piercing, ive had ink done too with Jordan. Coolest down to earth crew ever. Will forever be a constant customer !!!!

I can say enough good things about Papermoon. Everyone there is highly skilled and Professional. The Art is amazing that comes out of this shop and has become my go too for my Tattoos. Adam and Jordan, Jess and Sierra are more like a family and make you feel at home and your experience the safest and friendliest it can be .

The tattoo quality is top notch and I always have positive interactions with everyone who works there, including guest artists. Cant wait to get more work done from this shop!

Absolutely great experience! I was getting an industrial piercing and I was initially nervous but the staff was very caring and welcoming! The piercing was very professional and I highly recommend getting a piercing here!

I got my first tattoo here on one of the walk-in days. I was just about as nervous as I was excited! Adam was so awesome with helping me to stay calm and my tattoo turned out incredible!! My friend ended up having to go back to class before my time slot. Jordan was on a break from working on another man’s sleeve so she came over and let me hold her hand. I absolutely recommend Paper Moon to anyone looking for a great tattoo from some really awesome artists.

Absolutely love the atmosphere. Its clean, professional, and absolutely worth every penny. The people are so down to earth. They make you feel at home.

Best tattoo experience I have had so far. The atmosphere is just amazing. I would recommend anyone to get a tattoo there. Both artists are very talented and down to earth.

Adam and the Papermoon tattoo family were so welcoming. Ill admit that I was a bit star struck at first to finally have the opportunity to be tattooed by Adam. All in, it was about a seven hour day and so worth it. The shop was inviting and comfortable with a laid back friends/family atmosphere. To them I wasnt just another canvas, I was now a friend. You can clearly tell that what they do isnt work, but rather a love of the art and connecting with their clients. I cant thank them all enough. I had the BEST experience. I will definitely be going back!

Ive worked with Adam 3 times now and hes always professional and does great work. The shop is always clean and the environment is really fun. I drive roughly 3 hours each way to get my tattoos at Paper Moon and its totally worth it.

Paper moon is an awesome shop with amazing artists! I have two tattoos, both are from here, and I would definitely come back for more. Jordan and Adam are fantastic artists and great people.

They have lollipops.Theyre also the best at what they do. But they also have lollipops.

The team at Paper Moon Tattoo company are nothing short of AMAZING! Professional work, outstanding talent and all around good people. Theres a reason they dont have time for walk ins, theyre THAT sought after!

Cool atmosphere, friendly staff, and beautiful shop! Jessie was awesome as always!

I absolutely love Paper Moon tattoo company! Jordan and Adam are phenomenal at what they do and truly care about their work and their clients! I highly recommend them to anyone looking to get a tattoo they will love!

I have been to Papermoon both as a client getting tattooed and also as a friend supporting someone else getting tattooed. Getting tattooed at Papermoon feels like coming into a family. They care about their clients and each other. I have been personally tattooed by Adam and I am always very happy with the results and talent he has. He does a great job and makes you feel comfortable. I cannot recommend them enough and both artists have so much talent.

The perfect little shop! Ive been to it twice and I love it! The best tattoo shop, amazing employees, and amazing tattoos! Will definitely be back!

Always been a great experience going into Paper Moon! Great atmosphere, amazing people, and perfect tattoo’s! Will forever be going back to Paper Moon for all my tattoo’s!

We’ve had nothing but great interactions with everyone here. They are talented and professional. Worth the wait.

Just got a new matching tattoo with my best friend on walk in day. It was my best friends first tattoo, and Im so happy he got to do it at Paper Moon! All my tattoos were done in NYC/DC and I can say confidently that Paper Moon has great pricing for the quality of their work. They werent judgy about our ideas, and Adam worked to make sure it was perfect for my friend...I can only imagine the effort he puts into his appointments. Beautiful space, clean and easygoing! This place is worth the wait :)

You are not going to find anyone in the industry that will provide quality and above and beyond customer service! Family is the company vision! Whether it’s your 1st or 10th time, you will always feel like family here.

This shop is amazing! Both Adam and Jordan do excellent work. The entire staff in friendly, kind and comforting. They all love what they do, have a ton of fun and it shows in their work. Cleanliness is definitely a top priority for these guys as well.After tagging along to a few sessions, I recently got my own first tattoo here. Adam was my artist and he made sure I was doing well and comfortable the whole session, gave me a heads up when things might be a little tender, cracked jokes and made sure I knew how to tend to my new work of art. If you get the chance, get in to see these guys!

Super clean and a fun personable atmosphere. I would trust this shop with any artwork I wanted.

I got my first tattoo here, and i’m SO glad i waited until the books were open and i was chosen!!!! amazing atmosphere. cant wait to go back.

Clean, professional, friendly! Both Adam & Jordan do amazing work!!! Ive been a client of Adams for over 10 yrs...

Its the cleanest tattoo business Ive been in. Both Jordan and Adam are phenomenal artists. The vibe there is inviting and friendly. I will drive over 350 miles and nearly 7 hours passing dozens of other tattoo shops to have my work done there. I cant recommend anyone else but Jordan and Adam; Jess and Cheyenne are great keeping things running smoothly. ... Yeah, Jordan designed and created this epic back tattoo

Jordan is the best. Makes first-timers feel at ease. Wonderful creative artist/professional

Such a great experience! Absolutely worth coming here! Spread the word!

Simple 15 minutes for a piercing I was super scared to get

I just got my 3rd tattoo done by Jordan. The detailing is by far amazing. I love how she is as excited as you are for the tattoo. She takes the time to make everything meet your expectations. Jordan is beyond talented. Her and Adam make you feel so comfortable and are very accommodating. The new shop is beautiful. I cant wait to add more.

This tattoo shop is amazing! It’s very clean and has a comfortable and chill atmosphere. I went here for my first tattoo with Adam because of a referral from a friend. We were able to meet quickly and go over everything about what I wanted and he accommodated everything and gave his professional advice on making it look good. Honestly I was a little discouraged having to wait almost 3 months to get the tattoo but in the end it was so worth it!! Everyone here is super nice, professional, and welcoming and take the best care of you possible! My tattoo turned out a million times better than I could’ve ever imagined!

Absolutely incredible. I couldnt be happier with the work they have done for me. The artists do great work and truly care about the art that they are creating. I have multiple tattoos from paper moon and all of them have turned out better than I could have hoped for. Adam and Jordan are the epitome of #notshittypeople.

Had a wonderful experience at Paper Moon! Jordan is wonderful and did an amazing job! The team at Paper Moon makes you feel comfortable and they really do care about their clients. The shop is beautiful and incredibly clean. Im so in love with my new tattoo! I will be back soon!

First off: the staff here are all amazing and the friendliest people you can interact with! The atmosphere is pleasant and professional. Adam and Jordan are truly skilled at what they do. I have two tattoos done by Jordan and they both far exceeded my expectations. When you have a tattoo that you want, you plan it on paper. Then you have what you imagine in your head - which is usually even better then what you have shown! Jordans still goes above and beyond what you have even imagined; her final work is remarkable. If you are looking for any work done, whether its your first time or you are a seasoned vetran, I undoubtedly recommend Paper Moon!

Jordan, Adam, and the entire team at Paper Moon Tattoo Co. are beyond professional, talented, and passionate about their work. The shop is clean and comfortable, the merchandise is sharp and affordable, and the artists truly take care and time into making each piece perfect for their clients- before, during, and after. I had my first tattoo done here and I wont go anywhere else. Do yourself the favor and book your next tattoo here!

There are no words to describe how happy I am with the tattoo that Jordan did for me! There is no doubt that Jordan loves what she does and is passionate about giving you a piece of art that you are ecstatic about! My entire experience with PMTC was amazing!! From the first contact I made to make a appointment, Adam and Jess were very quick to respond, and answered all of my questions. Do not waste your time looking anywhere else....Paper Moon is exactly where you need to be if you want A++ Quality work, awesome personalities, and a very clean, welcoming atmosphere!

I got a very simple, minimalistic cat tattoo from Jordan and I couldn’t be happier. It was my first tattoo, and Jordan’s biggest focus was making me feel comfortable the whole way. It was only a $80 tattoo, but she was willing to do not one but TWO consultations with me to make sure that I was 100% on board with what was happening. I don’t know any other artist who would put so much effort into such a tiny little tattoo. She was constantly making sure I was ready and comfortable, I didn’t feel pressured to do it a different way because she said so or because I was too nervous to ask. She made the edits to my picture at my request, and despite the fact that it’s super minimalistic, it looks EXACTLY like my cat. I don’t know how she did it, but she did. She was super accommodating and made me feel unafraid to express my fears and concerns at any point, and I never felt pressured to do anything I was unsure about. I think I had the best first tattoo experience of anyone else I know, and if I get any more tattoos in the next year I’ll definetly be going back to Jordan. She was so kind and assuring and never made me feel silly for being a little bit afraid, but I couldn’t love my new ink more. Jordan is a perfect example of a tattoo artist who really cares. She doesn’t just want to get you done, get you out, and get her money. She want the whole process to be a special and personal experience, and I can’t thank her enough for the work she did for me. She really cares about putting the best effort into everything she does, and the whole process was so special. Best shop in state college by far.

Incredibly talented, caring, humble, amazing artists. You will not be disappointed with your tattoo experience. Adam and Jordan are the best of the best.

My roommate and I decided to come spontaneously, and papermoon not only welcomed us but encouraged us throughout the entire process with support and joy. Adam was incredibly accommodating with design, location, pen details, etc. pricing is pretty fair as well, considering the wonderful job they do. As a side note and, well, an addition to the story, my friend was incredibly nervous and Adam put Lizzo on, as he had overheard us prior talking about how her music just keeps us going. The moment it played her entire mood shifted and the rest of our experience was completely void of any worry or hesitance. I’d 100% recommend this place for any perspective clients :)!! (Plus free lollipops!)

This place is absolutely amazing! 10/10 would recommend. I dont even bother going anywhere else.

A friend told me about Adam while I was on the hunt for a tattoo artist I really liked. I almost went to a bigger city to get it done until I saw Adams work. I knew right away that I wanted him to do my first tattoo. They just opened up and Im so glad I waited. I love my new tattoo! I got to meet Jordan as well while I was there, they are both very kind and extremely talented. If I decide to get a second tattoo, this is the place Im going to go to.

Great work and awesome folks. Worth checking them out.

Adam has done approximately 20 hours of tattooing on me and I can’t imagine going to anybody else. I had 3 tattoos before meeting him and he covered up 2 of them with amazing skill. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this unbelievably talented, humble and professional artist. I get stopped by strangers constantly wanting to know who did my “exceptional” tattoos. Jordan has been there for every tattoo that I have received from Adam and watching her has been so inspiring! Her art is exquisite! They are both top of the line artists. They make you feel like it is their privilege to have you in their chair. They will make your experience so comfortable and there is zero rockstar attitude here! You just can’t go wrong with these two!!!!!!!!

I’ve been tattooed by Jordan and her work is amazing! She’s easy to talk to and genuinely cares about how you envision your tattoo to look. Along with her tattooing skill, I think those qualities make her a great artist.

Adam, Jordon, and the whole staff are the most talented and kind people youll ever meet. Had awesome experiences every time and youll never find a better place to be tattooed.

The best place for tattoos and piercings in Pennsylvania!

Took my chances on walk-in Thursday and couldn’t be happier! Jordan did a lovely custom piece and was so attentive to detail. Also love that they use Saniderm for healing.

I’ve been going to Adam for all of my tattoo work for 9 years. It began with a cover-up of a tattoo that made me not wear short sleeves & I was thrilled with the results. Adams method & gentle hand is virtually painless & the heal time is so fast! Clean, discreet and very professional. I am the proud owner of 3 original Adam zimmer pieces as well as some watercolor work & lettering. I could not be more excited to get my next birthday tattoo at his new shop.

I love their work and the people there. They make me feel a part of their family.

The best tattoo shop by far❤ Jordan and Adam are amazing in every way possible

Adam and Jordan are two of the most amazing artist, but more than that, they are both amazing people. They pay such attention to detail, what you want, and take pride in the work they put out. They bring your idea to life and Adams water color work is beyond amazing, Jordans attention to her line work will amaze you! Only people that will ever tatoo me!

I cant say enough good things about Adam Zimmer as a tattoo artist. Hes done everything from original pieces, to reworking of pieces done by others, to full cover-ups of old tattoos for me; were probably over 20 individual tattoos together, and I love every piece.His work on my back, a growing collection of music and literary references, has garnered commentary from strangers on more occasions than I can count. Small children often shout at their parents, its Clifford when they see my Clifford the big red dog piece, and every Harry Potter fan I have ever met is in love with my Hedwig and Snape original watercolor piece.I have recommended Adam to a number of friends, and have even taken my high school students to him after they have graduated.Adam is also an amazing person. Ive been lucky enough to call him my friend for about half of my life, so I can vouch strongly for his character and integrity.Im certain that he and Jordan have started a successful venture with Paper Moon Tattoo Company, and I look forward to continuing adding to my tattoo collection under their care.

Absolutely the best tattoo shop in Central PA. Clean, friendly, incredibly talented artists. Its worth the wait.

Adam has done all of my tattoo work. He and Jordan are fantastic!! I highly recommend going to them for your tattoo needs.

Great place, great people, exceptional artists! Well worth my 2 hr trip.

Jordan was amazing! The detail was spectacular and I recommend her and the shop to anyone.

Clean, friendly and prompt.

I happened upon #papermoontattoo because of an acquaintance from college giving me her appointment, otherwise these guys are a hot commodity & booked out for 3 months. I am sooooooo glad I did! Adam is kickass! I had two animals I had wanted tatd on me for YEARS & he had those drawn up for me on arrival, I also had my kiddos siggys added to it & they are my rainbow babies so I asked him to incorporate that somehow & I wanted a balloon from elephants trunk & got that too. If you are part of the club you understand the meaning of the balloon. Guess what all yall?! He delivered!#excelsatwatercolorforsure The.best.tattoo.ever! Super huge space, clean,chill,relaxed (literally I could kick my shoes off & nap there its so laid back awesome & clean)& ALL staff are sweet,caring&dope as hell. From their expertise to the at home feel, PaperMoon is the way to go!!! 5 Stars!

You want a quality tattoo go to adam and Jordan. These two are gentle, considerate and extremely talented. I dont plan on going anywhere else and Ive been tattooed by half a dozen people and have about 10 myself. Heres a cover up (tougher than usual tattoo)

Amazing work by an amazing person. wouldnt go any where else.

Adam and Jordan are courteous, respectful professionals with invaluable talent. Treasures of State College

Very very clean, talented artists. Highly recommend!

Amazing staff & artists..

I HAVE SEVEN TATS FROM ADAM, WILL NOT GO TO ANYONE OR ANYWHERE ELSE, THE TIME IS READY FOR THE NEXT ONE BROTHER.
