Why do brands choose Revel Road?
Brands choose Revel Road because today's consumers are looking for experiences—not just products. Interactive activations create emotional connections that are far more memorable than traditional marketing alone. Our team combines premium artistry, thoughtful hospitality, operational expertise, and creative event design to help brands generate authentic engagement, social sharing, and meaningful guest interactions.
What is experiential marketing?
Experiential marketing is a strategy that allows people to engage directly with a brand through immersive, interactive experiences rather than traditional advertising. Instead of simply seeing a message, guests become active participants in the brand story. Experiences such as professional device ear piercing, fine line tattoos, personalized styling, and interactive beauty activations create meaningful memories while encouraging conversation, social sharing, and long-term brand affinity.
How does Revel Road create memorable guest experiences?
Every Revel Road experience is intentionally designed around people—not just services. From the moment a guest arrives, our artists focus on creating an environment that feels welcoming, elevated, and approachable. Our signature Pink Glove Experience™, concierge-level hospitality, premium presentation, and attention to detail help transform a simple service into a memorable experience.
Can Revel Road customize an event experience for my event?
Absolutely. Every Revel Road activation is customized to align with your brand, audience, event objectives, and guest experience goals. From branded service menus and curated jewelry selections to customized décor, artist wardrobe, activation flow, and guest journey, we work closely with every client to design an experience that feels authentic to their brand while delivering exceptional hospitality.
How far in advance should I book Revel Road?
We recommend reaching out as early as possible to ensure availability, especially for large activations, multi-city tours, festivals, and peak event seasons. Early planning also provides additional time for creative development, staffing, logistics, and any custom branding elements. If your event is approaching quickly, we encourage you to contact us anyway.

Brand Activations

What is a brand activation?
A brand activation is a live experience designed to bring a brand to life through meaningful interactions with its audience. Rather than relying on passive advertising, brand activations encourage guests to participate, engage, and build personal connections with a brand. At Revel Road, we design activations around that same principle, combining artistry, hospitality, and interactivity to create moments guests genuinely want to be part of.
What makes a successful brand activation?
A successful brand activation creates a meaningful connection between a brand and its audience. The most effective experiences invite participation, spark emotion, and give guests something they'll naturally want to share, all in service of a clear objective—whether that's brand awareness, a product launch, foot traffic, or loyalty.
How do experiential marketing activations increase engagement?
Experiential marketing turns audiences from passive observers into active participants. When guests get to interact, personalize, and create something rather than simply watch, they become emotionally invested in the brand. That investment is what drives higher engagement, more social sharing, and stronger recall.
What interactive experiences work best for product launches?
We believe that the most successful product launch activations invite guests to interact with a brand rather than simply observe it. Experiences that encourage personalization and participation create stronger emotional connections and make new products more memorable than a demo or handout ever could.
What event activations generate the most social sharing?
The most shareable activations are personal, visually engaging, and interactive. Guests are far more likely to post about an experience they helped create than one that simply handed them branded merchandise. Pairing those moments with a branded photo opportunity or custom hashtag extends the reach well past the event itself.
How do experiential activations increase brand awareness?
Experiential activations increase brand awareness by creating memorable moments that people naturally share. Instead of relying solely on traditional advertising, brands give guests an experience worth remembering, photographing, and talking about. Social sharing, word of mouth, and user-generated content keep extending a brand's reach long after the event ends.
What makes an event memorable?
People remember how an event made them feel. The most memorable experiences create moments of connection, personalization, and genuine interaction that leave a lasting impression. At Revel Road, our activations combine thoughtful hospitality, expert artistry, and interactive experiences to help brands transform ordinary moments into meaningful memories.
Why are interactive experiences better than giveaways?
While giveaways can attract attention, interactive experiences create emotional connections that last far beyond the event. Guests are more likely to remember and share an experience they participated in than a promotional item they received. Many brands get the best of both worlds by pairing an interactive activation with a meaningful takeaway.

Corporate Events & Employee Experiences

What are the best employee appreciation event ideas?
The best employee appreciation events create experiences that make people feel recognized, valued, and excited to participate. Experiences like luxury device ear piercing, fine line tattoos, Revelmarks™, and curated styling stations celebrate individuality while encouraging connection among colleagues. Whether you're planning an appreciation day, wellness week, holiday party, or company milestone, Revel Road creates customized activations that reflect your culture and engage your team.
What interactive entertainment works best for company events?
The best corporate event entertainment encourages participation rather than passive observation. Revel Road specializes in experiential activations like luxury device ear piercing, fine line tattoos, Revelmarks™, festival styling, and custom beauty experiences. These personalized services naturally spark conversation, photo opportunities, and social sharing long after the event ends.
Can Revel Road bring interactive experiences to our office?
Yes. Revel Road is a mobile experiential company that brings fully customized activations directly to your workplace. Whether you're planning an employee appreciation event, wellness initiative, holiday party, team-building event, or company celebration, we'll tailor the experience to your space. From conference rooms and office lounges to outdoor campuses, we deliver the same premium guest experience wherever you are.
Can experiences be customized for our employees?
Absolutely. Every Revel Road activation is customized to reflect your company culture, event goals, and audience. From service selection and guest flow to branded signage, décor, and personalized touches, we tailor every detail to create an experience that feels intentional, engaging, and uniquely yours.
Is Revel Road insured for corporate events?
Yes. Revel Road maintains business insurance appropriate for the professional services we provide and can supply Certificates of Insurance (COIs) when required. Our team works directly with clients and venues during the planning process to ensure all insurance documentation and venue requirements are met.
Can we co-brand the experience?
Yes. Many of our activations are designed as collaborative brand experiences that feel like a seamless extension of your event. Depending on the activation, co-branding opportunities may include custom signage, consultation materials, digital displays, photo moments, packaging, and other branded touchpoints that reinforce your identity while maintaining Revel Road's premium presentation.
Can Revel Road accommodate large employee events?
Yes. Revel Road supports everything from intimate executive gatherings to large-scale employee celebrations. We'll recommend the ideal staffing, service stations, and guest flow based on your attendance and event goals, ensuring an efficient, elevated experience for every guest.

Retail Activations

How do retail activations increase foot traffic?
Retail activations increase foot traffic by giving people a compelling reason to visit beyond making a purchase. Experiences like luxury device ear piercing, fine line tattoos, Revelmarks™, and curated styling encourage guests to spend more time in-store, share their experience, and invite others to participate. At Revel Road, every activation is designed to align with your brand, drive engagement, and strengthen customer relationships.
What experiences increase dwell time?
Dwell time increases when guests have a reason to stay, explore, and interact with your space. Services like device ear piercing, fine line tattoos, Revelmarks™, styling sessions, and beauty activations keep guests engaged while encouraging them to browse products, interact with staff, and become more invested in the overall experience.
Can Revel Road work inside retail stores?
Yes. Revel Road brings premium experiential activations directly into retail environments, seamlessly integrating into your store while complementing the customer experience. Whether you're hosting a product launch, grand opening, seasonal promotion, VIP shopping event, or ongoing retail experience, we'll customize an activation that fits your space, supports your goals, and feels like a natural extension of your brand.
How many guests can you serve per hour?
Guest capacity depends on the services offered, staffing, appointment scheduling, walk-up demand, and the overall event format. We'll recommend the ideal number of artists and service stations based on your expected attendance, helping maximize throughput while delivering the elevated guest experience Revel Road is known for.
What activations work best for grand openings?
Professional device ear piercing, fine line tattoos, Revelmarks™, styling experiences, and custom branded services naturally attract attention, increase time spent in-store, and inspire user-generated content. Paired with product launches, exclusive promotions, influencer events, or VIP experiences, these activations help turn a grand opening into a destination event.
Can guests purchase upgrades?
Yes. Depending on the activation and your event goals, guests may have the option to purchase premium upgrades or enhancements. Options can include premium jewelry, expanded services, additional embellishments, or other curated enhancements.

Trade Shows & Conferences

How do you make a trade show booth more engaging?
The most successful trade show booths give attendees something to experience—not just something to look at. Revel Road creates interactive activations that invite guests to participate through professional device ear piercing, fine line tattoos, Revelmarks™, temporary body art, ear styling, and other customizable experiences. These services naturally encourage conversation, increase dwell time, and create memorable moments that keep your brand top of mind.
What interactive experiences attract booth traffic?
Experiences that are personalized, visually engaging, and shareable consistently draw the most attention. Depending on your goals, Revel Road can offer Professional Device Ear Piercing, Fine Line Flash Tattoos, Revelmarks™, temporary tattoos, festival crystals and face gems, glitter bars, and custom branded experiences.
Can Revel Road activate at conferences?
Absolutely. Revel Road activations are available at conferences, conventions, trade shows, expos, and industry summits, subject to local regulations, venue approval, and artist availability. Our team designs activations that integrate seamlessly into your event while maintaining our signature Pink Glove Experience™.
How much space do you need?
Our activations are designed to be flexible. The space required depends on the services you choose and the expected guest volume. We can often operate within a standard trade show booth, while larger activations may benefit from additional space for guest flow, waiting areas, and multiple service stations.
Do guests need appointments?
Not usually. Most conference and trade show activations operate on a walk-up basis, allowing attendees to join the experience as they explore the event. For higher-volume activations, we may use a digital waitlist or timed reservation system to keep lines organized and reduce wait times.

Event Planning

How do event activations work?
Every Revel Road activation is thoughtfully planned to deliver a seamless guest experience from start to finish. We'll work with you to understand your event goals, audience, timeline, and brand. From there, we'll recommend the ideal services, staffing, layout, and guest flow to create an activation that feels effortless while maximizing engagement. On event day, our team handles setup, service execution, guest experience, and breakdown.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for large events, conferences, and peak seasons. While we can often accommodate last-minute requests based on availability, booking several weeks—or even months—in advance gives us the greatest flexibility to customize your activation, secure staffing, and coordinate logistics.
How much space do you need for a full activation?
Our activations are designed to be flexible and scalable. Space requirements depend on the services selected, anticipated guest volume, and event layout. We can often operate within compact event footprints or build larger multi-station experiences for high-volume activations.
How many artists will my event require?
Staffing recommendations are based on your event size, guest count, selected services, and event duration. Whether you need a single artist for an intimate VIP experience or a larger team for a high-volume brand activation, we'll recommend the right staffing plan to ensure an efficient guest flow without compromising the quality of the experience.
How long does setup take?
Most standard Revel Road activations require approximately 60–90 minutes once scheduled venue access begins. Our team arrives with everything needed to create a polished, professional activation and coordinates with your event team to ensure we're ready before guests arrive.
Can experiences be customized?
Absolutely. Every Revel Road activation is customized to reflect your brand, audience, and event objectives. We can tailor services, signage, branded artwork, color palettes, guest journey, promotional elements, and overall presentation to create a cohesive experience that feels like a natural extension of your event.
How many guests can you serve?
Guest capacity depends on the services offered, event duration, and number of artists onsite. During the planning process, we'll estimate throughput and recommend a staffing plan that helps minimize wait times while maintaining the elevated service standards of the Pink Glove Experience™.

Our Experiences

Pink Glove Experience™

What is the Pink Glove Experience™?
The Pink Glove Experience™ is Revel Road's signature service standard—a guest experience that blends industry-standard safety, certified expertise, concierge-level care, and celebratory energy into every interaction. It begins the moment you arrive and reaches its defining moment when our artists put on their signature pink gloves—a symbol that every detail from that point forward is intentional.
Why is it called the Pink Glove Experience™?
The name comes from one simple moment: when our artists put on their signature pink gloves. That moment signals a shift from casual conversation to professional care. It's when guests know they're in expert hands and every detail—from safety and precision to communication and aftercare—becomes intentional.
What makes the Pink Glove Experience™ different from a traditional piercing studio?
Traditional studios focus on the service itself. The Pink Glove Experience™ focuses on the entire journey. Because Revel Road is mobile, we bring a premium studio experience directly to brand activations, corporate events, festivals, and private events. Every guest receives personalized styling guidance, professional service, industry-standard safety practices, and genuine hospitality in a beautifully designed environment.
How does the Pink Glove Experience™ improve guest safety?
Safety is built into every step of the Pink Glove Experience™. Our artists are professionally trained, follow strict hygiene protocols, use single-use sterile equipment where applicable, partner with STUDEX® for device ear piercings, and provide thorough aftercare education before every guest leaves. Just as importantly, we never perform a service that isn't appropriate for a guest's anatomy or outside our professional standards.
Why do brands choose the Pink Glove Experience™ for their events?
Brands choose the Pink Glove Experience™ because it transforms a service into an unforgettable guest experience. Our mobile activations combine premium artistry, professional safety standards, and hospitality with experiences that encourage authentic social sharing and meaningful brand engagement. Guests leave with more than body art—they leave with a positive memory connected to your brand.
What happens during the Pink Glove Experience™?
Every experience is designed to feel seamless, personal, and celebratory. Guests can generally expect a warm welcome and guided check-in, personalized consultation and styling recommendations, professional preparation and safety protocols, expert application or piercing by a trained artist, a celebratory reveal moment, and aftercare instructions and product recommendations when applicable.
Is every guest treated the same way?
Every guest receives the same high standard of care, but every experience is personalized. Our artists take time to understand each guest's goals, anatomy, comfort level, and style preferences before making recommendations. While the service standard never changes, every experience is tailored to the individual.
Who created the Pink Glove Experience™?
The Pink Glove Experience™ was developed by Revel Road as our proprietary guest experience philosophy. It was created to combine the professionalism and safety of an industry-standard environment with the warmth, hospitality, and celebration of a premium lifestyle experience—setting a new standard for mobile body art and device ear piercing events.
Why do your artists wear pink gloves?
Our pink gloves are both functional and symbolic. They meet the same professional standards expected for personal protective equipment (nitrile-based and 100% latex free) while also representing the beginning of the Pink Glove Experience™. For our guests, seeing the pink gloves signals that they're about to receive focused, intentional care from a trained professional.
Is the Pink Glove Experience™ only for device ear piercing?
No. While it was developed around our professional device ear piercing services, the Pink Glove Experience™ is the service standard behind everything we do—fine line tattoos, temporary body art, Revelmarks™, and every other Revel Road experience.

About Our Device Ear Piercing Experience

What makes Revel Road's device ear piercing experience different?
At Revel Road, device ear piercing is more than a service—it's a thoughtfully curated experience centered on safety, hospitality, and personal expression. Every appointment begins with a personalized consultation, where our certified artists guide you through placement, jewelry, anatomy, and aftercare to ensure you feel informed and confident.
Why choose Revel Road for device ear piercing?
Our trained artists combine certified expertise, premium jewelry, and established safety protocols with genuine hospitality to create an experience you can feel confident about. Using the FDA-registered STUDEX® System 75™ with sterile, single-use piercing earrings, we prioritize safety, comfort, and personalized care from consultation through aftercare.
Can I get my ears pierced at an event?
Yes! Revel Road specializes in providing professional device ear piercing experiences at brand activations, retail events, music festivals, corporate events, private celebrations, pop-ups, and other special events. Our mobile piercing setup delivers the same elevated experience you'd expect from a dedicated studio—always in line with local city, county, and state regulations.
What types of events offer device ear piercing?
Revel Road brings professional device ear piercing experiences to brand activations, retail pop-ups, product launches, corporate events, employee appreciation events, music festivals, conferences, university events, grand openings, influencer events, VIP experiences, and private celebrations.
Do you pierce both children and adults?
Yes. Revel Road provides device ear piercing services for both adults and minors, subject to applicable laws, venue requirements, and our company policies. For guests under 18, we require a parent or legal guardian to be present throughout the entire piercing experience, with valid identification and consent forms.
What types of device ear piercings do you offer?
Revel Road offers a variety of device ear piercing services using the FDA-registered STUDEX® System 75™. Available placements may include lobe piercings and select cartilage piercings, depending on your anatomy, the event, and applicable regulations.

Safety & Professional Standards

Is device ear piercing safe at an event?
Yes. When performed by trained professionals using proper equipment and established hygiene practices, device ear piercing can be safely provided in a professional event environment. At Revel Road, every piercing begins with a personalized consultation, and our artists follow strict hygiene protocols and use sterile, individually packaged piercing earrings.
Are Revel Road artists certified?
Yes. Every Revel Road device ear piercing artist completes training specific to the services they perform before working at an event, including instruction on the STUDEX® System 75™, hygiene, consultation, jewelry selection, placement, and aftercare. Team members also complete Bloodborne Pathogen training.
What piercing system does Revel Road use?
Revel Road performs device ear piercings using the STUDEX® System 75™, an FDA-registered ear piercing system designed specifically for professional use. The system uses individually sealed, sterile piercing earrings that are preloaded into a disposable cartridge.
Why does Revel Road use the STUDEX® System 75™?
We chose the STUDEX® System 75™ because it aligns with the high standards we set for every Revel Road experience. The system uses sterile, single-use piercing earrings in disposable cartridges, and STUDEX has pierced over a billion ears worldwide and is trusted by pediatricians, pharmacists, and retailers alike.
Is the STUDEX® System 75™ FDA registered?
Yes. The STUDEX® System 75™ is an FDA-registered ear piercing system designed for professional use. Each sterile, individually packaged cartridge is used once, and every piercing is performed by a trained Revel Road artist following established hygiene protocols and personalized aftercare guidance.
What components are sterile, and how is reusable equipment cleaned?
The STUDEX® System 75™ is designed with sterile, individually packaged piercing earrings housed in disposable cartridges. The reusable piercing instrument itself does not come into direct contact with the sterile earring or the guest's ear. Between guests, our artists follow cleaning and disinfection procedures in accordance with manufacturer recommendations and our internal hygiene protocols.
Do you use new earrings for every guest?
Absolutely. Every guest receives a brand-new pair of sterile piercing earrings. Each pair is individually sealed in a sterile cartridge and opened immediately before the piercing procedure. Once used, the cartridge is discarded and never reused.
What happens if I'm nervous?
Feeling nervous before a piercing is completely normal. Every appointment begins with a consultation where you can ask questions, discuss placement, and learn exactly what to expect. We never rush the process, and we'll only proceed once you feel informed and ready.

The Piercing Process

What should I expect during my appointment?
Your appointment begins with a personalized consultation, where your artist will discuss placement, jewelry options, answer your questions, and review aftercare. Once you've approved the placement, your piercing will be performed using the FDA-registered STUDEX® System 75™. After your piercing, we'll review aftercare instructions and celebrate your new look with you.
How long does a device ear piercing take?
Most device ear piercing appointments take approximately 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the number of piercings you're receiving and the time spent selecting jewelry and discussing placement.
Does device ear piercing hurt?
Everyone experiences pain differently, but most guests describe device ear piercing as a quick pinch followed by a brief moment of pressure. If you're feeling nervous, let us know—our artists will guide you through each step.
Can I choose my earrings?
Absolutely! We offer a curated selection of professional piercing earrings designed for use with the STUDEX® System 75™. Available styles vary by event, and your artist will help you choose jewelry that complements your personal style and piercing placement.
Can I get more than one piercing?
In many cases, yes. The number of piercings that can be performed during one appointment depends on your anatomy, requested placement, event guidelines, and any applicable age or regulatory requirements. Your artist will recommend the safest approach based on your individual consultation.
Can friends get pierced together?
Absolutely! Getting pierced together is one of our favorite parts of the Revel Road experience. Depending on the event setup and guest volume, friends and family may be able to receive their piercings at the same time or one right after the other.
What if my anatomy isn't suitable?
Every ear is unique, which is why each appointment begins with an anatomy assessment. If a requested piercing isn't a good fit for your anatomy, your artist will explain why and recommend alternative placements that are better suited for safe healing and long-term results.

Jewelry & Aftercare

What earrings do you use?
Revel Road uses professional piercing earrings designed specifically for the STUDEX® System 75™. All starter earrings are sterile, individually packaged, and available in a variety of styles, finishes, and stone options.
Are your earrings hypoallergenic?
Yes. We offer professional piercing earrings made from high-quality, hypoallergenic materials suitable for sensitive ears. If you have a known metal allergy or sensitivity, let your artist know before your appointment so we can help you select the most appropriate jewelry.
Can I bring my own earrings?
No. Initial piercings must be performed using our sterile starter earrings, which are specifically designed for the STUDEX® System 75™. Once your piercing has fully healed, you can change your jewelry according to your artist's aftercare recommendations.
How long do I have to keep my starter earrings in?
Starter earrings should remain in place throughout the recommended healing period. In general: earlobe piercings—approximately 6 weeks; cartilage piercings—approximately 12 weeks or longer. Avoid removing your starter earrings too soon, even if the piercing feels healed.
How should I clean my new piercing?
Clean your piercing exactly as instructed by your artist using the recommended aftercare solution. Avoid touching your piercing with unwashed hands, leave your starter earrings in place, and minimize unnecessary handling during the healing process.
When can I change my earrings?
Wait until your piercing has fully healed before changing your starter earrings. Changing jewelry too soon can delay healing or cause the piercing to close. Earlobe piercings heal in approximately 6 weeks; cartilage piercings in approximately 12 weeks or longer.
What should I avoid after getting pierced?
During the healing period, avoid touching your piercing with unwashed hands, leave your starter earrings in place, follow the aftercare instructions provided by your artist, avoid sleeping directly on a fresh piercing whenever possible, and be mindful of hair, clothing, headphones, hats, or anything that may catch or place pressure on the jewelry.
What happens if my piercing becomes irritated?
Some redness, tenderness, and mild swelling are normal during the first few days. If irritation worsens, continue following your aftercare instructions and avoid removing your starter earrings. If symptoms become severe, persist, or you suspect an infection, contact a healthcare provider for medical advice.
Can I swim after getting pierced?
It's best to avoid swimming until your piercing has healed. Pools, lakes, hot tubs, and oceans can expose a new piercing to bacteria that may interfere with healing.
What if my piercing closes?
New piercings can begin to close quickly if jewelry is removed too soon. If your starter earrings come out unexpectedly, don't force them back into the piercing. Depending on how much the piercing has closed, it may need to heal before being re-pierced.

Needle Piercing

Do you offer needle piercing?
Yes! Revel Road offers professional needle piercing at select events and activations. Because needle piercing requires specialized artists and is subject to venue or local regulations, it isn't available at every event. When offered, services are performed by trained professionals using sterile, single-use hollow needles and professional-grade jewelry.
What's the difference between device and needle piercing?
Device and needle piercing can each be appropriate when used for suitable placements by trained professionals. At Revel Road, device piercings are performed with the FDA-registered STUDEX® System 75™, an excellent option for lobe piercings and select cartilage placements. Needle piercing uses a sterile, single-use hollow needle and offers greater flexibility for certain cartilage and body piercings.
Which piercing method is right for me?
The right method depends on your anatomy, the piercing you want, and the services available at the event. For many ear lobe piercings, the STUDEX® System 75™ provides a quick and professional experience. For certain cartilage or body piercings, a needle may be the preferred option.
Is needle piercing available at every event?
No. Needle piercing is available only at select Revel Road events. Availability depends on the event, venue requirements, artist availability, client preferences, and local regulations.
Are your needle piercers licensed and trained?
Yes. When needle piercing is offered, services are performed by trained professionals who meet all applicable licensing, certification, and regulatory requirements.

Revelmarks™ Ear Styling

What are Revelmarks™?
Revelmarks™ are Revel Road's signature piercing-inspired ear styling experience, giving you the look of a curated ear—without getting pierced. Using a medical-grade skin adhesive, our artists apply jewelry motifs to create the illusion of real piercings.
How do Revelmarks™ work?
Revelmarks™ use a professional, medical-grade skin adhesive to attach decorative jewelry motifs directly to the ear, creating the appearance of a traditional piercing without piercing the skin. Each application is customized to complement your ear anatomy.
What makes Revelmarks™ different from clip-on earrings or ear cuffs?
Unlike clip-on earrings or ear cuffs, Revelmarks™ are designed to look like actual piercings. Applied directly to the skin with a medical-grade adhesive, they sit where a traditional piercing would appear, creating a clean, realistic look without pinching or pressure.
Why would someone choose Revelmarks™ instead of a piercing?
Revelmarks™ are perfect for anyone who wants the look of a curated ear without the commitment of a permanent piercing. Whether you're trying out a new placement, have anatomy that's not ideal for certain piercings, or simply enjoy changing your style, Revelmarks™ offer a flexible, non-invasive way to express yourself.
Where can Revelmarks™ be worn?
Revelmarks™ can be applied to many areas of the ear where traditional piercings are commonly placed, including the helix, flat, conch, tragus, and lobe. While designed for ear styling, guests have even used Revelmarks™ to try the look of a nose piercing.
How long do Revelmarks™ last?
Most guests enjoy them for 3–7 days, though wear time varies based on skin type, placement, daily activities, and aftercare. Your artist will share simple tips to help maximize their wear.
Are Revelmarks™ waterproof?
Revelmarks™ are designed for everyday wear and can typically withstand normal daily activities. To help them last as long as possible, avoid prolonged exposure to water, oils, excessive moisture, and friction.
How do I remove Revelmarks™?
When you're ready for a new look, Revelmarks™ can be gently removed at home. Because they're applied with a medical-grade adhesive, removal is simple and doesn't involve the healing process of a traditional piercing.

Fine Line Tattoos

Do you offer fine line tattoos?
Yes! Revel Road offers professional fine line tattoos at select events. These are real, permanent tattoos created by licensed and trained tattoo artists using sterile, single-use equipment. Availability depends on the event and participating artists.
How long do fine line tattoos take?
Most fine line tattoos take approximately 15–30 minutes, depending on the design and placement. Your artist will review your selected design, confirm placement, answer any questions, and provide aftercare instructions before you leave.
Are fine line tattoos permanent?
Yes. Fine line tattoos are permanent body art. Like all tattoos, they may naturally soften or fade slightly over time depending on factors such as placement, sun exposure, skincare, and your skin. Following proper aftercare helps support the best possible healing and long-term appearance.
What designs can guests choose?
Guests may choose from a curated collection of pre-designed fine line artwork created specifically for the event. Designs are intentionally small—typically no larger than 2 inches. Custom tattoo requests are generally not available unless specifically noted for that activation.
Who performs the fine line tattoos?
Fine line tattoos are performed by trained professionals who meet all applicable licensing, registration, permitting, and local health requirements. We use professional, sterile, single-use equipment and maintain strict sanitation standards.
Can I choose where my tattoo is placed?
In most cases, yes. Your artist will work with you to determine a placement that suits both your chosen design and your anatomy. Some placements may not be available due to event guidelines, safety considerations, or the size and detail of the artwork.
Do I need to be 18 or older?
Yes. Fine line tattoos are available only to guests who are 18 years of age or older with a valid government-issued photo ID.
How do I care for my new tattoo?
Your artist will provide aftercare instructions before you leave. Keeping your tattoo clean, moisturized, and protected while it heals is essential for the best results.

Temporary Tattoos & Body Art

How long do temporary tattoos and body art last?
Most of our temporary tattoos and body art last 1–5 days, depending on the application, placement, your skin type, and daily activities. Areas with frequent friction or exposure to oils may fade more quickly, while properly cared-for designs can last several days.
Are they waterproof?
Our temporary tattoos and body art are designed to be sweat-resistant and mostly waterproof, making them perfect for festivals, concerts, sporting events, and brand activations. Excessive rubbing, prolonged soaking, or oil-based products may shorten their wear time.
Are they safe for sensitive skin?
We use professional products selected for skin application, but individual sensitivities and allergies can occur. Please tell your artist about known allergies before service.
How are they removed?
Most temporary tattoos and body art can be easily removed with soap and water, makeup remover, or an oil-based cleanser. If any residue remains, gentle exfoliation during your normal skincare routine will typically remove it.
What types of temporary body art do you offer?
Revel Road offers a variety of temporary body art experiences, which may include pigment tattoos, glitter tattoos, metallic and microchrome finishes, Swarovski® crystal embellishments, festival accents, and custom branded designs.
Will temporary body art stain my skin or clothing?
Our products are designed to dry quickly and stay in place once properly applied. We recommend allowing your design to fully dry before dressing or touching the area to achieve the best wear.

Can you run a multi-city or nationwide activation tour?
Yes. Multi-city tours are one of our strengths. We coordinate artist staffing, equipment, jewelry and supply inventory, and setup consistency in every market so the experience feels identical whether guests visit in Phoenix, Chicago, Nashville, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, or Las Vegas.
How do local regulations affect piercing and tattoo services by state?
Body art licensing and permitting rules vary by state, county, and city, and some services are only available in certain jurisdictions. We confirm the requirements for your specific venue during planning and recommend the experiences we can deliver compliantly at that location, which sometimes means substituting Revelmarks™ ear styling, temporary tattoos, or Swarovski crystal application for services that aren't permitted there.
05

Safety

How does Revel Road keep guests safe?
Guest safety is at the heart of everything we do. Every Revel Road experience follows our signature Pink Glove Experience™, which combines industry-standard safety, certified expertise, and thoughtful guest care. Our artists are trained to follow strict hygiene protocols, use professional-grade equipment, assess each guest's anatomy, and provide clear aftercare instructions. If a service isn't appropriate or cannot be performed safely, we simply won't perform it.
Why do you use pink gloves?
Our signature pink gloves represent more than just our brand—they're a symbol of our commitment to professional care. When our artists put on their pink gloves, it marks the beginning of the Pink Glove Experience™. The gloves also serve as appropriate personal protective equipment during applicable services.
Are your artists Bloodborne Pathogen certified?
Yes. All Revel Road artists who perform services requiring Bloodborne Pathogen training maintain current certification and are trained to follow industry-standard infection prevention and hygiene protocols. In addition to technical training, every artist is educated in Revel Road's proprietary Pink Glove Experience™.
Are your earrings sterile?
Yes. Every piercing earring is individually sterilized and remains sealed until your service begins. For our device ear piercings, we use sterile earrings designed specifically for the FDA-registered STUDEX® System 75™.
What cleaning procedures do you follow?
We maintain strict cleaning and sanitation protocols before, during, and after every service. Our artists wash or sanitize their hands, wear appropriate personal protective equipment, prepare clean work surfaces, use sterile single-use items where applicable, properly dispose of used materials, and disinfect equipment and work areas between guests.
What safety standards does Revel Road follow?
Safety is the foundation of every Revel Road experience. Our artists follow strict hygiene and infection prevention protocols, use professional-grade equipment, and perform every service with careful attention to cleanliness, technique, and guest well-being. From setup through aftercare, our proprietary Pink Glove Experience™ ensures every guest receives consistent, high-quality care.
Can you pierce everyone?
Not always—and that's intentional. Before every piercing, our artists assess each guest's anatomy and discuss their desired placement. If a piercing isn't suitable due to anatomy, healing considerations, or other safety concerns, we'll recommend an alternative placement or advise against the service.
What happens if a guest isn't a good candidate for piercing?
Your safety always comes first. If we determine that a piercing cannot be performed safely, we'll explain why and, whenever possible, suggest alternative placements or services that better suit your anatomy or goals. We'd rather decline a service than compromise your health, comfort, or long-term results.
Do you use single-use needles for needle piercings and tattoos?
Yes. All needle piercings and fine line tattoos are performed using sterile, single-use needles that are opened immediately before your service and safely disposed of afterward. We never reuse needles.
How do you prevent cross-contamination?
We follow strict protocols designed to minimize the risk of cross-contamination throughout every service. Our artists practice proper hand hygiene, wear appropriate personal protective equipment, use sterile and single-use items where applicable, maintain clean work surfaces, and disinfect equipment between guests.
What if I have a metal allergy?
Please note any metal sensitivities on your waiver before your service. We offer jewelry options made from nickel-safe, surgical stainless steel, including Studex® device piercing jewelry made in the USA. Our Artists are not medical professionals and cannot diagnose a sensitivity. If we can't offer something appropriate, we'll recommend postponing the service.
What should I do if I have a medical condition before getting pierced?
Our Artists are not medical professionals and do not evaluate or make claims about medical conditions. Any medical history, allergies, or medications are disclosed through your waiver. If you have any concerns, we encourage you to consult your healthcare provider before your appointment. We reserve the right to decline or postpone service if we believe it's not appropriate to move forward.
What if I change my mind during my appointment?
Absolutely no problem. Your comfort and confidence are just as important as the service itself. Whether you need more time, want to change your jewelry or placement, or decide not to move forward at all, we'll support your decision without pressure.
06

Policies

Can children participate?
This depends on the service being offered and the specific event. Some experiences, such as temporary body art, may be available for guests of all ages, while device ear piercing for minors is offered only at select events and requires a parent or legal guardian to be present throughout the appointment. Fine line tattoos are available to guests 18 years of age or older.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellation policies vary depending on the type of booking. Individual services: because our experiences are provided during scheduled events and activations, cancellations and refunds are generally not available. Private events and brand activations: cancellation, payment, and rescheduling terms are outlined in your signed client agreement. If you have questions about an upcoming event or booking, please contact us at hello@revelroad.com.
Do you require booking deposits?
Some bookings require a deposit to reserve your date or appointment. For private events and brand activations, deposit requirements will be outlined in your proposal or service agreement. Individual appointments offered at select events may also require a deposit. Any deposit requirements will always be communicated before your booking is confirmed.
What happens if there is bad weather?
Many Revel Road activations can continue as planned, but weather policies depend on the event location and setup. For outdoor events, we work closely with event organizers to determine the safest course of action in the event of severe weather. Guest and artist safety is always our highest priority.
Can I reschedule my appointment or event?
Whenever possible, yes. If you need to reschedule an individual appointment or private event, please contact us as soon as possible. We'll do our best to accommodate your requested date based on availability and the terms of your booking. For brand activations and corporate events, any changes will be coordinated directly with your event contact.
Do you accept walk-ins?
Revel Road is a mobile experiential company, not a traditional retail storefront, so walk-in availability depends on the event. For public pop-ups and open community events, walk-in guests are often welcome based on availability. For private events, corporate activations, and invitation-only experiences, services are typically reserved exclusively for event attendees. Follow us on Instagram to see where we'll be next.
What payment methods do you accept?
Payment options vary by event. At events where guests purchase services directly, we typically accept major credit and debit cards, along with other contactless payment methods. Some client-sponsored activations are complimentary for guests, so no payment is required.
Are gratuities accepted?
While gratuities are never expected, they are always appreciated. If tipping is available at your event and you'd like to recognize your artist for exceptional service, you're welcome to do so. The availability of gratuities may vary depending on the event or client.
Are Revel Road services refundable?
All individual services are final sale and are not eligible for refunds. If you have questions about your experience or would like to share feedback, please contact us at hello@revelroad.com and a member of our team will be happy to assist you.
What forms of ID are required for piercing services?
Guests receiving device ear piercing will be asked to present a valid government-issued photo ID. For minors, a parent or legal guardian must attend with valid identification. Additional documentation may be required depending on state and event regulations.
Do I need to sign a waiver before my service?
Yes. Guests receiving services such as device ear piercing or fine line tattoos are required to complete the appropriate consent and release forms before their appointment begins. Depending on the event, waivers may be completed digitally or on-site. Our team is always happy to answer any questions before you sign.
What if I'm running late?
If your service is part of a scheduled appointment, please let us know as soon as possible. We'll do our best to accommodate late arrivals whenever scheduling allows. For walk-up activations, simply check in with a Revel Road team member when you arrive, and we'll help you with the next available opportunity.
Cancellations and refusals of service
If a service cannot be performed for safety reasons before it begins, or if a guest is not respecting our policies, procedures, or our team, we reserve the right to decline or discontinue the service. We'll discuss the options available to you. For private events, appointments, or client-sponsored activations, any applicable refund terms will be communicated at the time of booking or outlined in your service agreement.
