Well, I've been waiting months for this! Ugh! So many other things get in the way when you plan on getting a tattoo. Mow the grass, yard work, gym, going to work, and etc. Not cheap either, gotta pay for good art work and under very sanitary conditions. I don't care what anyone said, it stings! HaHaHa. This is a photo of my tat. half-way done. Break time. If you're looking to get a tattoo, this is the place. Army-Navy in Yorktown, friendly staff, super clean, sanitary, and great artist. Day two of tattoo, looks GREAT! Very pleased I must say. Dave, who did the art work, is one of the tattoo artist at "Army-Navy Tattoo ". Give this studio a go if you're looking into getting a tattoo. Very talented group of artist. 2nd photo of my tattoo, simple is what makes it great...for me. Ha ha ha read more

Stopped in tonight to see if my bestie and I could get tattoos. Dave met with us and discussed what we wanted and was able to take us right away. Dave tattooed me and Michael tattooed my friend. They both were extremely professional and kind. Our tattoos came out exactly how we wanted and we couldn't be happier. We both would highly recommend this shop! Thanks Dave and Michael for a great experience. read more

Got a tattoo today with Gabrielle. She did a great job and was very friendly and easy going.

I had the absolute worst tattoo experience here. Last tuesday, two of my friends and I came here to get three small identical tattoos of three wave lines, each. I paid $100 for a three SMALL wave lines (each of us had one of the lines bolder than the rest), even though the shop minimum is $50, and the "artist" sat in the amateur chair. The owner charged us and asked us to tip the guy BEFORE he even sat us. My friend who went first said the dude's hands were shaking before he even picked up the gun. I went over the design with him MULTIPLE times (I had drawn out the concept we wanted specifically to eliminate confusion) and had him reprint the lines over and over to make sure he understood what we wanted. I had to adjust the lines he pulled off the internet several times, to the point where my friends were getting uncomfortable at the dialogue between him and I, and started cracking jokes because the "ARTIST" wasn't getting it. I explained we wanted the waves slanted and thin, almost like cursive writing, and not tall and fat (like most of mine ended up) explained that he needed to leave adequate room between the lines (especially on the middle one. mine.) since one of the lines was going to be bolder than the other two. Despite ALL of that, NONE of the lines are even, NONE of the lines are even close to identical, on ANY of our wrists, and he kept going bolder and DEEPER into my wrist to fix his mistakes, which RUINED the concept of the MINIMALIST design. The friend who went first ended up with a different thickness on her lines than the rest of us, and when she asked him to make her lines slightly bolder to match ours when he was done with the final girl, he complained about having to open another needle, and then proceeded to DIG into the friend he was tattooing out of frustration. The owner kept checking in on him and looked nervous the entire time, watching him. She made a comment when he was on the final friend, saying "third time's the charm, huh?" to which he responded with a sigh and "let's hope so." What an absolutely miserable experience. My skin is swollen and lacerated. The ink is bleeding, the lines are touching where they shouldn't be, and nowhere close to being even. My wrist was freaking carved into. All three of us are already looking for a cover up. What a joke. The owner commented on my google review asking for "the opportunity to rectify my displeasure." This tattoo isn't salvageable. None of their "artists" will ever touch me again. I should send them the medical bill I'm going to have to pay to have my wrist looked at. read more

Got my tattoo done by Jeremy Tatum and he did an awesome job. Very professional and friendly as well. Shop was clean and the people inside were nice. It's nice and cold in there too, so be prepared to get sleepy Pricing was fairly decent for the quality of the tattoo and for how quickly it was done. Definitely coming back! read more

My wife and I got tattoos done there yesterday and we are beyond satisfied with how they turned out. The shop is clean, staff is friendly, they have a comfy waiting room, and the prices are reasonable. Don't let the apprentice title for one of their artists George Rankin turn you off because he is truly gifted, he's the one that is doing mine. read more

My husband and I will ONLY get tattoos from here. Great customer service and the atmosphere is always friendly. Clean and professional. They've been around for years for a reason. Great job y'all!! Thank you for a positive experience every time. read more

I have been here a few times and have always had a good experience. Got a rib piece done today by Austin and he did a great job at improvising when a certain color didn't work well with my skin tone read more

I came in one day about a month or two ago with my dad(we are African American) , there was two employees working. I walked in no one spoke to us. Ten minutes go by the first employee was done with a customers tattoo just chatting. Sit there for another ten minutes waiting. A group of white girls come in they are spoken too and asked what they need and someone will be with them in a few minutes. At this point I am infuriated and just decide to leave. Rude and will never suggest this place if they will not have good business etiquette. Losing money because you're racist is silly. read more

Loved my husband's tattoo! We went there on our 25th wedding Anniversary with a drawing we already had. The artist "spider" did an awesome job. He looked at the drawing and did a sketch that was even better..considering this was my husband 1st tattoo, he was very well pleased! Since it was my name with an anchor on his arm, I was esctatic as well! Thanks Spider, we will definitely be back when we are in the area! They made you feel very comfortable and the place was clean, being a nurse, that ment a lot! Thanks Jeff and Wendy read more

I worked with Jeremy Tatum and he helped me realize my dream thigh tattoo and then tattooed it into reality. He listens intently to what you ask for and does beautiful work. The pricing is reasonable and, as it is with any tattoo, depends upon the size and content. I most certainly recommend going to see these folks for your next tattoo. read more

This place is kinda shady but over the years it has cleaned up for the most part. Its a small outdated joint with some good artisit that really don't recieve the good credit that they deserve being at this shop. The parking lot is small but its hardly ever full, I've had two tats here and they have both been walk-ins. The inside reeks of smoke and the seating areas are gross looking. Most of the furishings look like hand-me-downs with holes and stains. The prices are fair for the most part. If you do opt for a walk-in be prepared to wait...the first time I went the lady said she was finishing up and being young and dumb I waited almsot an hour for my first tat. I'd recommend an appointment. They have a pretty large selection of tattoos available that are pre-designed. They also do custom works as well and are quite good good at it. The people who work here are very nice and not intimidating, for the most part honest. Overall, I would recommend this place for someone getitng a quick and noncomplicated tattoo. I probably won't be coming back because I don't get tats too often. However, if I do I'll probably go somewhere else because this place looks dirty and I don't think I can stand the moldy smell here anymore. read more

Rude customer service, although I called about an appointment WHICH THEY REFUSED to do... They are walk in only she told me last walk in is at 915PM so they could close by 10. Get there around 9pm and the guy didn't want anything to do with a tattoo or a customer just closing!!! WILL NOT RETURN or recommend!!! read more

I've come here twice over the years and have gotten a couple of tattoos. I can't recommend this place enough. Genuine people work here and it's easy to tell that they are passionate about what they do. Jon James has an awesome profile and does amazing tattoos. read more

Both me and my sister worked with Spider. He was amazing! She walked in with a little idea of what she wanted and ended up getting stacked puzzle pieces spelling out HOPE for Autism. He talked the whole time to make you comfortable and constantly asked if she needed a break. I wasn't planning on getting a tattoo but after my sister's visit I came in a few days later and got a butterfly with the PTSD ribbon as the middle on my shoulder blade. Once again he was very detailed and gentle. I will definitely be going back to him my next visit to Virginia!! read more

Me and my wife both got work done by spider a great artist check his work out I got a anchor done and it came out perfect looking at getting a other one hopefully soon maybe next year and looking forward to working with spider again read more

The new staff here is absolutely RUDE. They refused to do my tattoo the original way I wanted it and kept adding stuff I didn't want to the design. Take your business to 138 tattoo in glouster. MUCH BETTER. read more

My tattoo was done by Sean Fitzgerald whom I highly recommend to anybody! My piece is a memorial tattoo in remembrance of my sister and he did a phenomenal job. I will definitely be going back to him for some more pieces while I'm stationed in Virginia. If I could figure out how to upload a picture for everyone to see I would read more

Please don't go to this place if you want good quality art done on your body. If I could do no stars I would cause the customer service was shit and the tattoos that came from various of the artist there. My cousin and I went there for Friday the 13th for $13 tattoos and I left more than disappointed with what was on my body and what was on my cousin (that was my cousins first). I get that the quality of a $13 tattoo is not going to be that good but my god learn some straight even line work please. My artist who I don't even know the name of was a total dick and didn't even talk to me taking not even five minutes on my tattoo. I got a finger and let me tell you... it doesn't look like no damn finger. My friend was also there and hers was horrifying and to see the lines overlap and connect was horrendous. The fact this shop has artist with years experience but not show that in their work is shitty and it's a shame they are okay with letting people walk out with that on their bodies. My "Artist" didn't even wrap my tat up and looked at me like I was stupid waiting for him to do so for sanitary purposes of a fresh tat! I have other wonderful tattoos so I know aftercare but every artist is different and should voice their suggestions of how to care for fresh ink! I wasn't told anything and was awkwardly/silently dismissed from the table. Once again go to a shop who cares and doesn't produce shit. I now have to get this covered up by someone who knows what they are doing and are talented read more

I originally was not going to write a review about my experience, but the more time that goes by I get very upset and angry with my results of my tattoo. I got tattooed by "Spider" about a year ago and the linework is horrendous, there are places all throughout my tattoo that looks like a three year old could do it, there were words already bleeding the second I got finished with my tattoo, and there are some branches of my tree that are obviously a whole lot darker than the other ones. I got a little bad vibe as soon as a met the guy, and it is partly my fault for not backing out immediately. He should honestly be fired. I now have to spend more money and plan out a cover up for this tattoo. read more
