We know there’s been a lot of exciting changes lately, so if you’re wondering — yes, we’re still offering piercings! We will be bringing the same safe experience you love to our new location at @haus.beauty_esthetics ✨
Now that we’ve announced our move to @haus.beauty_esthetics, we’re equally excited to share the grand opening of Lady Fine Line Tattoo Studio, officially launching July 1st, 2025, inside the same space. Lady was created with one clear purpose — to focus on ink for the ladies in a space that feels feminine, safe, and intentional. You’ll still receive the same dainty, beautiful fine line tattoos you’ve come to love, but with a fresh identity that allows us to separate tattooing from Sun of a Gun, streamlining both brands for an even better client experience. While Tressa is currently the only tattoo artist at Lady, she’s focused on growing the brand intentionally and creating a space where delicate tattoo artistry can thrive. She’ll also remain actively involved with Sun of a Gun on the administrative and creative side — continuously elevating services, refining experiences, and leading the way with mobile spray tan and piercing parties for groups of 5 or more. Back at the studio, her incredible spray tan artists, Kayley and Payton, will continue providing flawless tans with the same expertise and care Sun of a Gun is known for. To kick off the launch of Lady, we’re celebrating with an Instagram giveaway for a chance to win a tattoo session valued at $200!

Iv always been so nervous to get a spray tan in the past and had the most enjoyable experience! Iv never seen anyone with a bad spray tan from Son of a Gun, so I didn’t have to fear walking out of their studio orange. Lauren talked to me the whole time and I would 10/10 go back again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tressa makes everyone feel comfortable! Highly recommended her piercing services for all ages. 🤩

Let me just say, I have had spray tans at several places and have traveled to have great ones done and was THRILLED Goldsboro had a luxury spray tanning business. Tressa did my spray and she was SO kind and did a phenomenal job. She made me feel comfortable in my skin, asked me about why I was getting sprayed (for family pics!) and even text me the next day! She was so invested and kind that I will definitely be back. My tan looked wonderful and lasted for days!! For me customer service is make or break for me returning somewhere and I will DEF be returning to her time and time again!

I always love my time with the girls at Sun of Gun! All of the girls make you feel comfortable with each session. I never have to worry about if I’m going to be orange. The team makes sure they go through after care instructions. Thank you sun of a gun for always making me look my best even when it’s a just because tan!

I received my first spray tan service from Sun of a Gun Luxury Spray Tans in May 2022, and received the most recent one last week. I have been sprayed by three of the employees at Sun of a Gun, multiple times. Each service being very professional, informative, and confidence boosting. Each service is directed to the specific client, from personalized mats, formulas and conversations. I highly recommend Sun of a Gun for your glow! I have also been pierced by two of the employees at a pop up event back in October 2023. My nerves were easily calmed by the explanation the employees gave me and their professionalism. The piercing did not hurt, and healed as anticipated. I have always been so happy with the services I receive at Sun of a Gun, and leave feeling more confident than before!

This is the BEST place to be sprayed! This is the most welcoming, body positive, and fun place to be!! Love love love my tans each time!

I had an exceptional experience with Sun of a Gun. Tressa's friendliness immediately put me at ease, creating a comfortable atmosphere. Their attention to detail and professionalism ensured a flawless tan. I highly recommend them for a top-notch service with a warm and welcoming touch.

Hands down the BEST spray tan! Tressa was the sweetest and explained the entire process, including all of the after care tips so that my tan remained flawless for my engagement pictures. You can tell she is truly passionate about what she does. Also, Goldsboro is about a 35 minute drive for me, and I will continue to make the drive to Sun of a Gun for all my future spray tan needs!

BEST spray tan I have ever had!! Ashley spray tanned me for a wedding and I had the best experience! They also have the best lotions to help with your spray tan that smell so good!!! I highly recommend them!

Highly recommend! I’ve been sprayed by both Tressa and Lauren and both have made me feel comfortable during my spray. Loved that my color was natural and didn’t look orange at all. I’ve also had my teeth whitened by Tressa and loved my instant results with no sensitivity

Tressa was absolutely amazing! She made me feel so comfortable and was easy to work with! She made sure I was prepared before my tan and gave me all the tips to keep my tan looking great! This is the best spray tan I have ever had! -L. FRAILS

I love these ladies and they do an amazing job! There tanning product stays on and looks natural!

This was my first spray tan and it was for a very important event that I was speaking at. I was very nervous because I had only finished radiation about 6 months before and didn’t know how my skin would react not to mention the fact that a had pretty significant scar from breast cancer surgery that I’m struggling with. BUT. Lauren made me feel so comfortable. She was kind, compassionate, and professional. She was very knowledgeable and made sure to explain everything in detail. I would 💯 recommend to any and everyone!

Went whole-hog top-of-the-line all the goodies I could get, and I was thrilled! At 67 I feel confident enough to wear anything I want because of this lovely tan.

I had never had a spray tan until this year. Both Tressa and Lauren made me feel so comfortable and both ladies were so professional. I will definitely be using them for future events.

If you’re looking for a perfect pray tan that will last for weeks, has no streaks or imperfections, and fades beautifully with NO splotches, look no further. I’m a natural redhead with very fair skin, so spray tans can be scary, but Lauren did an amazing job making me feel comfortable and confident in my own skin. It felt like I had known her for years! I will definitely never get a spray tan from anywhere else!

Incredible experience!! Would suggest Tressa 10/10– made me feel comfortable and the scheduling was painless!

Tressa does a beautiful spray tan! She maximizes the success of the process by giving great pre- and post-tan instructions, which also makes the tan last as long as possible. She listens to what you want so you walk away with just the right shade. She Is fast, accommodating and so very pleasant. Her new salon is really nice and is easily accessible. I’m super pleased with her work!

As a black girl it was one of the scariest experiences ever to begin to think of but I wanted in so the best way to sum it up is I went in worried about what I was gonna look like however leaving out I was asking all care tips to prolong the lifespan of my tan🚨🚨🚨 10/10 highly recommend

Tressa is one of the sweetest and down to earth people I have ever met! She is so easy to talk to and she knew exactly what I wanted and my tan turned out beautifully! My daughter found her (Im so glad she did) and we both have been very happy with the results each time. Please if you have not to go check her out she will have you looking stunning, natural, and feeling absolutely confident when you leave there! Her energy is absolutely contagious she’s always smiling and never has anything negative to say. She makes you feel comfortable and is very professional. Tressa is all in all a great person and she will forever have my support!!

Tressa & Lauren both are beyond amazing! Tressa gives the best spray tan I’ve ever had. They’re both knowledgeable and easy to get along with, too! The best part is their tans are 100% customized to YOU! Whether you go to the salon or have them travel to you, I can promise you’ll be in love!

Tressa made me feel so comfortable and provided an excellent spray tan that looked so natural, lasted way longer than any other spray I've ever done and she made the experience so fun and enjoyable! Will be back for sure!

Tressa and her team are experts at what they do. Not only is the spray tan the best I’ve ever had, they made me feel so comfortable while also educating me on the spray tan process. I walked away with a flawless tan, a boost in my self confidence, and the tools to get the most out of my spray tan. I highly recommend Sun of a Gun!

I had the BEST experience with these girls. I have never gotten a spray tan out of fear of being judged, but these girls made me feel so beyond comfortable. I felt like I was just hanging out with friends, the time went by so fast. My tan is always beautiful and natural looking. I’d trust them with my life 😂
