I've tried out several tattoo shops in Raleigh over the years, but last week was my first visit to…read morePhoenix after an initial consult with Brian. I can't say enough good things about him or my experience there. He is super talented, he listens & suggests his own ideas/recommendations, and I left with a beautiful design that I just can't stop looking at! The detail and line work is absolutely amazing. I'm already planning to go back for another visit. The shop itself is clean and comfortable and the pricing is fair. Highly recommended!

Got a new tattoo today. Rob Rutherford was my artist and he was fantastic. We discussed the design…read moreand went over many options, actually completely changing my original design to what we both agreed would work best for the space and get the desired effect. Shop is clean and professional. Everyone that works there is a true professional, and from seeing the pictures around the place all very talented artists. While I was getting my ink on my wife decided to get a small cross and Colby was available for a walk in and did a great job as well. If you are local and looking for some ink I recommend the place, and I also recommend to it non locals as it would be worth your time to travel to Raleigh and experience a great city and get your new ink.

I got my first tattoo here! I was visiting my friend in NC and we wanted to get tattoos together so…read morewe booked an appointment and our artist was Mike. Overall the appointment process was pretty simple. You can message on instagram/facebook and they were very responsive. When we arrived we just signed our waiver and provided our photo ID's. The actual place is very clean which I appreciated. Mike was such a friendly guy. It's funny because I came all the way down to NC to get a tattoo and I'm from NJ/NYC. Mike is from NYC and moved down to NC recently, I thought that was a funny coincidence. He always let us know what he was going to do before he did it and was very informative. He let us know the aftercare process and what to expect. That being said, we are almost a month out and my tattoo has healed beautifully! If I'm ever back in NC and looking to get a tattoo, I will book it with Mike.

Updated review: I…read morewant to clarify the timeline based on my emails with Jesica. I did ask to see a sketch before canceling. On the Monday my finished sketch was promised, Jesica emailed asking for direction, which made it clear that no design had been started or completed. I replied asking to see any progress at all, even a rough draft, so I could provide guidance. After that, she stopped responding completely. I only canceled after she ghosted me and had not delivered any work despite a full in-person consultation and detailed instructions. This was not a matter of impatience or disliking a design. The concern was that no work was ever produced or shared, and my requests for proof of progress were ignored. I am posting this so other potential clients have an accurate record of what happened. Paying a deposit for work that is never delivered and being left without communication is unprofessional. Original review: I met with Jesica Sanchez in person to talk about a custom tattoo and gave her all the details for what I wanted. I told her the idea was a little open so she could have creative freedom and show me her vision. I paid a $100 deposit and she told me I would get the finished sketch the Monday before my appointment. That Monday she emailed saying she was still "trying to come up with a concept" and needed more direction. That was the second email from her saying basically the same thing, which made it clear she hadn't even started by the time the finished sketch was supposed to be done. At that point I told her it was fine, I understood that what I was asking for would rely on the artist more than Google image so I'd just find another artist since she hadn't started. Then she told me she couldn't refund my deposit because she had "already spent so much time" on it. When I asked her to show me ANY kind of sketch so I could give feedback, even if she wasn't happy with it, she completely stopped responding and ghosted me. She never showed any work, never communicated again, and kept my deposit. I was really excited to work with her but this was completely unprofessional and dishonest. I'm posting this so other people don't go through the same thing. Be careful before paying her anything upfront.

Great tattoo! Good pricing and artist was awesome. My sister and I got tatts together and we had…read morethe place to ourselves it was really pretty awesome. They are very professional and the best part my tattoo did not scab up at all once I removed the second skin tape it was totally healed and gorgeous! There is a small area on my tattoo that carries a small extra line which was not part of the tattoo...I was not totally upset with it because it does still look gorgeous. I do wish I had seen it sooner though cause I probably would have asked for it to be thicker to cover that up. However now I think of it as if it's part of the journey... this tattoo represents my journey in this life as a warrior and so I am looking at it as a slight off journey portion where I needed time to heal. in this way all is as out should be.
