D designed a cover up on my 30 year old Tattoo. Came out amazing. He was so fast and cool about everything. Nice guy and amazing artist. Was nervous since I hadn't had a tattoo in 30 years. Probably going to go back and add some color next time I am in town. Cool seeing some of the old graffiti in the shop. Everyone at the shop were nice and chill. Good atmosphere. Tons of talent in that place. read more

Black Widow Ink - Tattoo Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Got a tattoo here with a friend and we had no appointment. Would have been fine with a no too busy as I was getting a pretty big tattoo. Went there and City my tattoo artist had good work but I was already feeling nervous with his attitude while he rushed to eat his lunch to do my tattoo. I should have walked away then but was with a friend and wanted to do something fun. I let city know I have especially sensitive skin and he sarcastically responded that all tattoos hurt when that isn't true as this isn't my first one. He was not only rude but while I was on the chair I was the only one who asked for breaks for myself. When I was twitching and trying to hold on he annoyedly asked if I needed to get up. I just wanted my shit done and could hold on the pain. Y'all he didn't even get me any aftercare instructions and was invalidating my pain from the beginning to the end. I let the workers know and city texts me apologizing saying he'd fix it but that doesn't fix an already broken trust between client and artist. Looked cool at the end but because of lack of instructions and more my tattoo ended up burning me and I had to get help from several other tattoo friends and artists. Didn't ask for my money back or for a fix because I don't want my experience to be tied to that. Red has a great vibe and he was my piercer. I wouldn't want to tank his greatness with city's carelessness for me. read more

Black Widow Ink - Not done yet but love Jusn Peña's work - Tattoo Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I can't thank Juan Pena enough for the incredible work he did fixing my tattoo. He took a piece I was unhappy with and transformed it into something I absolutely love. His attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism are unmatched. Plus, he has an amazing personality and is so much fun to talk to. From now on, he will be the only artist I will be seeing. If you're looking for a talented tattoo artist who truly cares about their craft, I highly recommend Juan Pena. Thank you for giving me a tattoo I can finally be proud of! read more

Got my tongue pierced there by someone named Red and was told when I came back for the new bar for my tongue that it would be no charge . I came back and they said I had to pay. When the guy was changing my piercing he kept picking up the phone to unrelated work things and just kept me waiting . I usually tip but I didn't this time and I could tell he got butt hurt . read more

The artist were all cool and had no problem taking us as a walk-in . Work done is sharp and clean definitely get more work done there

Liam did my daughter's belly button piercing. It turned out great. Very professional.

The freakin best piercing experience I've ever had! We were lucky to be able to get a walk in appointment & Liam (I believe is his name) was the kindest, most helpful piercer I've ever had. I got my nose double pierced (had one for a while and wanted to add a second one) Liam was patient and helped me decide which side of the hoop to pierce next to. Overall, so fast (in and out in under 20 min) and saw what a cool and fun vibe this whole place has! Thank you Liam & friends - y'all are fucking rockstars! read more

Brought my 5 month old in to get her ears pierced just in time for Christmas photos. Red (piercer) was kind and patient with her. Everything was sanitized and clean. I'll come back for a piercing or tattoo! :) read more

Called to being my daughter in to get a nose pierced. Was told the piercer would be there till close but took lunch between 3-4. Because we couldn't make it before 3 we went at 5. 5:14 to be exact. They close at 6pm. The door states it, online states it and when we called they stated it. There were two people in the location at arrival. Clearly ignore us when trying to open this looked door. i knocked on the window and they continued to ignore with their head down. Then i tried to call, the red head lady in the front looked to the guy behind the speedsters and i saw her say "should i answer" with a smirk on her face. Bad business-she was so excited to get her noise pierced here on her birthday & i too was thinking about getting mine redone. Won't be back. Not cool to treat us that way!! read more

Walked in without an appointment to get our piercings (there was 3 of us) and Liam was more than willing to help us out! He made the experience enjoyable and smooth, I didn't feel anything and he was very knowledgeable about aftercare and gave us info on other piercings we're considering. Highly recommend him!!! read more

I have been there a lot, and it's would recommend it for anyone. I have had piercings and tattoos done by D. and Anthony. When they have time it's all good. I think they take their time and do it right the first time. read more

Where do I start.. the worste tattoo I ever got. Wish I would have let a 6 year old do it.

Tony's totally hot. I've gotten a few tattoos from him and I love them all. Constantly getting compliments on them all. Awesome shop with awesome artists. read more

I wish 0 starts was an option. Customer services has fallen short with so many businesses and this is definitely one of them. If you have questions about rates and their Covid safety measures then take your business elsewhere because you'll be treated like an idiot. When I called yesterday I was told they didn't have time to answer "dumb" questions. Extremely disappointed with their service. read more

I walked in and the staff was so nice. Ive been to LOTS of shops and they guys are great. I told them what I had wanted and they gave me ideas and was just so helpful. I had grest work done by D. I already have another appt. I loved the look of the shop. Clean and all decorated foot Halloween. They even offer a drink or beer! ;) read more

I have gotten 4 tattoos here! Two of them by Anthony the owner! Both receive the most compliments out of the 12 tattoos I have. He does a amazing job! Has a light hand, draws some good ass work and has a dope ass personality! Each appointment is Definitely worth the wait! read more

This place is awesome, the artist here are amazing and very welcoming. I came in with an idea of what I wanted and they brought it to life.

Went in for a walk in to get a septum piercing. The lady told me she had been doing piercings for 6 years. She put the clamp on my nose, and stuck the needle in. I looked at it and the piercing was coming out of the tip of my nose. When I tried to ask if I could get it re done she laughed. Hmm read more

Shoutout to Anthony for hooking it up for me and my family. We called about 30 minutes to see if he could do small bird tattoos on 5 of us and fit us right in. He was very informative about tattoo aftercare, as it was the first tattoo for 4 of us. He was super chill and fun and made the first tattoo experience so memorable! And they look super sick too! read more

While visiting in Reno my allergies got out of control and my nose piercing came out and I struggled for hours trying to get my piercing back in. And if you knowing anything about nose piercing they will close quickly. So I did the next best thing I googled for the nearest which lead me to South Tattoo Shop and I met J.D. Skinner. JD made a call to Black Widow Ink and sent me on way to them. Thank to them piercing is back in and I was good to go........ read more

I have come in here multiple times for piercings. My latest were my tragus, nose and smiley. Not a single one of them hurt at all. Anthony is super funny and seriously the best at what he does. He is professional and easy to talk to. He makes sure you're not in any pain and does a super quick job. I will NEVER go anywhere else but here for any tattoos or piercings. The prices are so affordable that I'm going back in a week for more haha. I would recommend this guy to anyone looking for a dope piercing or tattoo. read more

this review is for the work of ‼ JUAN PEREZ‼ (don't make my mistake, please read on) Hello, I would like to share my experience at Black Widow Ink in Reno, NV. I made contact with the artist Juan Perez in regard to a specific style. He assured me YES, he was proficient in the style and would be able and willing to work with my vision. I sent ample photographs of the area, measurements, and specific details I wanted to include. Along with inspiration for his own interpretation. We set up the appointment about a month in advance after a mutual agreement and having his assurance that he was compatible in skill and style for my desired piece. When I arrived, he was late. () Ok, this is fine, honestly it could happen to anyone. I was the only one in the shop. He arrived without a sketch or drawing. He proceeded to pull out his iPad and log into Pinterest to pull a design to use for me. () NONE of the pictures he chose were my inspiration pictures or even remotely close. When I mentioned I wanted to stick to what we agreed via message, he told me he "didn't like the way it looked", would not do it and proceeded to draw his own thing. () He was very pushy and honestly I felt like a nuisance and a bother simply for stating that I wanted to stick to the plan we had previously BOTH agreed to. () After drawing what appeared to be scribbles in a few different colors of sharpie on me, he asked me if we were good to start. I looked at the design and if I am being honest, it wasn't very easy to follow or distinguish. () I mentioned one more time if we could go closer to the original direction we chatted about via message, and he told me he had "added little details" of my idea into this new, messy sharpie line design (that was STOLEN off of Pinterest moments ago). Now here is where I was already very uncomfortable but I decided it would be best to trust the process. I have never had a tattoo artist NOT use a stencil but I am not a tattoo artist, so I assumed maybe I just didn't know what I was looking at and the end product would turn out acceptable. I trusted his craft and expertise. Once he started the actual tattoo process, ‼ he was watching a futbol game the ENTIRE TIME ‼ ! I was honestly speechless, I let it go on for a few minutes, hoping it was a brief thing and he would focus on my project. But this went on for the entirety of the multiple hour session. At this point I felt so defeated and taken advantage of since I trusted him as an artist. I quietly paid for the project and even tipped him for his time. I ended up with an entire limb that I dislike to look at and have to keep covered up at all times. I would like to clarify that this review is for the work of ‼JUAN PEREZ‼ at Black Widow Ink in Reno, NV. I am sure there are plenty of other artists and piercers working there and I cannot speak for the entirety of the team. This is simply my experience with this specific artist read more

this is the place to get your new tattoo amazing artists and artwork the business owner anthony is very professional i'd recommend going to anthony or black widow to any piercer very talented artists there! read more

The vibe of this shop is amazing. Everyone was happy to be there, a few people were dancing to the music, and everyone is so incredibly nice and welcoming! Derrick did a bumble bee on me, and a quote on my friend, and it was the best experience we have had! He had great energy, a good vibe, and made sure we were both good with the stenciling, placement, as well as comfortable. I have zero bad things to say about this shop and the people in it, I would recommend this to anyone and everyone looking to get a tattoo or touch one up. If I could give more than five stars, I would be giving Black Widow 10 stars. They are amazing!! read more

I got my nose pierced here and it was a very professional and quick experience, nice people!

Black widow is the only place I will ever get my tattoos done, the quality of work here is amazing.Tony and Allan are putting some serious effort into this budding shop, and it's apparent in their art. Sporting vibrant red walls decked out in fabulous paintings, sketches, and sculptures, the shop boasts a large seating area with a huge flat screen, as well as a pool table in case you have to wait while a friend is getting some ink. It's nice to see a couple of guys so enthusiastic about what they do, I recommend you check it out, as for me, I can't wait to make my next appointment! read more

These guys are awesome stumped upon them to have my daughters industrial pireced. Just walking in I knew it was different . Everyone was warm and welcoming. We didn't want to leave. My daughter had questions after we got home and they spent 20 minutes on the phone with her. I had been looking so a certain place to do a tattoo for a while and knew I needed to have them do it. I sent them a message on Facebook and was in the next day. Robert did an awesome job and has a real gift for shading. I highly recommend every part of this shop. You can tell they all love and care about what they do!!!!! read more

Black Widow Ink - Pictures do no service to this - Tattoo Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Black Widow is a Mecca of diverse and extremely talented artists. The shop is always a clean and comfortable environment. They have at least one or more talented artists that will definitely meet and even exceed your expectations. This family of artists is highly capable of transforming your body to a work of art. If you're looking for artwork, these talented folks will be obliged and fired-up to get the job done. I personally have had a great experience with Lisa Alaska. Her unique traditional style is really cool and original. I've watched her grow as an artist and find it amazing how she has come into her own refinement. She has always had a natural knack for having clean and smooth line-work from the start, which I personally believe, has helped ignite her one-of-a-kind excellent work that she gracefully achieves today. I am stoked to know that all of my artwork from her is not a cookie-cutter stamp, but rather an exclusive and genius design that I have been adorned with. Keep up the excellence Black Widow! read more

Thanks to these guys for not only giving us tattoos we can love forever but making it a happy memory as well. read more
