Our Story
Welcome to Michigan's Premier Tattoo Experience
At Magic Circle Tattoo, we transform your vision into art with a level of hospitality you won't find anywhere else in the tattoo industry.
Owner Dion Socia brings 25+ years of guest service excellence from world-class theme parks and resorts to the tattoo world. His career has taken him to iconic destinations like Disney World, Universal Studios, Cedar Point, and many other premier locations where he trained in delivering exceptional guest experiences. This rare background means we've elevated tattoo artistry into an experience where old-school ethics meet modern craftsmanship.
