I travel to Portsmouth about once a year for work and decided to drop into Blue Horseshoe Tattoo on…read morea whim. The shop is incredibly clean and comfortable, and I was greeted warmly right away. I was introduced to the artist, Tippo, who I later learned is the renowned "Tatman Tippo." He is a Miami legend and has quickly built a great reputation in Virginia! We immediately hit it off and after discussing the tattoo I wanted, we agreed on a price and set an appointment for the next day. The session itself was outstanding. Tippo had refined the artwork and prepared several sizes for me to choose from. The tattoo took about four hours, and he was a true professional throughout the process--putting down smooth, clean lines and being a great conversationalist. It was an excellent experience from start to finish. If you are in the Portsmouth area and looking for high-quality work, I can't recommend Tatman Tippo and Blue Horseshoe Tattoo enough. The experience, artwork, and price were all fantastic. I will definitely be back for more work on my future trips!

Eric is an exceptionally patient, compassionate, and professional artist who tailors his approach to accommodate your schedule, your mood, and even your pain tolerance. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a truly full-service tattoo experience.

I was in town for a conference and did some digging and research before deciding on King, an artist…read moreat this shop. Their work is displayed on social media and I reached out via text to schedule an appointment. King has an assistant who handles his booking, but it was pretty straightforward. $100 deposit that goes towards your total, $150 per hour, 2-hour minimum. It's been a while since I've had an ink session but was pretty sure I would only need 2 hours for what I was getting. Once deposit was paid, I received a booking text that confirmed my time. The artist had something come up during my originally scheduled time, but gladly checked the schedule to get me in while I was still in town. There are two sections upstairs, and myself and two others were getting tattooed in one area at the same time- but it wasn't crowded and we weren't on top of each other. They guys had a good vibe and energy between them and the air was light and filled with stories and laughter. I would think this would relax a nervous person, to see the artists comfortable in their spaces and happy to work. I had a small touch up on one tat and two new ones, which spanned the full 2 hours. He initially sketched out the tattoo based on my photos, but once I saw them in print and didn't like the font, he let me go through the database to find one that I did like. The tattoo behind my ear went quick and was quite painless. The one on my forearm went well too. King has a good hand and great line work. I generally go to the same artist when I like them, and if I ever get another tattoo while in Norfolk, I would book with King again.

Walked-in for what I thought would be a quick and easy wedding band tattoo. The artist ended up…read moredoing a pretty awful job. Lines aren't sharp, went WAY outside of the initial mock-up. All-in-all, a pretty terrible experience. Do not recommend.
