    Awesome experience. Jonathan did an amazing job on my dragonfly. He counseled me through my color selection and design. I couldn't be happier. I would absolutely recommend.

    The guys that work at this shop are so funny and friendly. They didn't make me or my girl friends feel uncomfortable or intimidated which is sometimes hard to find from tattoo shops. Miles was patient with me when we discussed my design and stayed an hour after they closed since we were walk-ins. Would go back!

    His artistic name and my tattoos are his work

    He's been my friend and tattoo artist for a few years now. Very friendly and professional dude but most importantly talented.

    First time coming to this tattoo parlor and I'm so glad I did! Josh did a wonderful job making my vision of a butterfly tattoo with light purple tint into reality, and made me feel super comfortable and at ease. This was my first colored tattoo and it costed me only $170 (I had expected much higher) so I'm very very satisfied. Thank you, Josh!! :)

    My tattoo done by Pina. I absolutely love it.

    Dixer Tattoo is a hidden gem in Fairfax City. I happened upon them through a Google search and decided to schedule a consultation. The atmosphere is VERY welcoming and friendly and after meeting with Pina, I set up my tattoo appointment. As you can see by the picture, it's a gorgeous tattoo and couldn't be happier. I will be back for more most definitely.

    Gio is fucking amazing! He tattooed my brother, myself, and my boyfriend and did such an amazing job! It was all of our first tattoos and he was so friendly and accommodating. I straight up had a panic attack and he was such a good sport. I highly recommend!

    Friday the 13th spooky tattoo event was such a amazing experience! The staff were super professional and well organized! Overall the wait was not as long and my tattoo was just like I wanted it! Definitely recommended!

    I heard about Dixer through a Instagram follower back in early 2018. Before he opened up his shop, he would do private sessions by coming to your house and get to work. I fell in love with the details from his work and his line work. That's what you really paying for. Since then, he's almost done my entire left sleeve and did a wonderful in covering up a previous job. I would highly recommend him for the professionalism, for the great conversations, his cleanliness both work and equipment, and for always making himself available.

    If you're thinking of a place to get your first tattoo, I recommend this place 100%. Everyone there was so nice and welcoming. The artist I got my tattoo done by was Gio, I recommend asking for him although every artist there has so much talent. Even though I have 7 tattoos, this was my biggest one so I was pretty nervous. But the way their studio is and the way everyone is so friendly, it didn't even feel as if I was in a tattoo studio, which calmed my nerves. Gio is actually the best tattoo artist I've had. He does his lines so perfectly, even the shading. He works with a light hand so you literally cannot feel much pain, although everyone has a different pain tolerance. This was my first time getting shading done as well, but because of Gio I honestly did not feel the pain one bit. He will also talk to you like he's your friend which is so nice because it honestly makes you forget that you're getting inked on. I am always going to come here to get my tattoo done! I do recommend you get your tattoo done by Gio, he's so amazing and talented!!

    Everyone at this shop were WONDERFUL! My sister and I care for a walk-in and they helped us right away and understood exactly what we wanted, and brought it to life. You can tell it is a very collaborative and supportive space for the artists (which isn't common in tattoo studios in my experience) which made our experience even better!

    Fresh cicada tattoo (with clear bandage still on) done by Jonathan
    Emily B.

    I walked in today without an appointment and was immediately welcomed in by the artists. The environment in the shop was relaxed and very friendly. I was asked what I was thinking of getting and when I told them I wanted a cicada tattoo (which I honestly expected a bit of a chuckle from them) and they really hyped me up and made the whole experience so much fun. Jonathan put so much time into drawing my tattoo with all of my references in mind and asked me tons of questions about different elements of the tattoo I wanted included. I had a few ideas before going in but was completely blown away by how much detail and effort he took to make it exactly what I wanted. He made sure I was comfortable and really took the time to make sure I didn't feel rushed or anxious. The tattoo came out absolutely beautiful and was perfect in ways that I couldn't have imagined beforehand. I would highly recommend going here and will definitely be back! The clear bandage is on in the picture because I was pretty red directly after getting it due to my sensitive skin. I can't wait to see all of the details come in more as it heals!

    The shop is a diamond in the rough. It felt like family because everyone treated us like family-- the business is even ran with a mom and a pop. Very attentive, clean, professional, and gifted artists. Any changes that needed to be done, they were very flexible, creative, and patient. We will definitely go back again!

    The best piercer in Northern VA. Super clean, very knowledgeable, and extremely detail-oriented…read more Piercings are something you live with for life, so you really have to love them. Lora is truly the best -- highly recommend. I used to have very low piercings and they looked terrible. I tried getting stacked piercings at Rowan, but the nurse (piercer) didn't really know what they were doing. My ears were poked multiple times, nothing was lined up, and it just looked off. Even though I paid a lot, I ended up taking them out. Then I went to Lora -- she immediately understood what I wanted, walked me through everything, and gave thoughtful recommendations. The result looks SO much better. I honestly wish I had found her earlier. Do not go to places that use piercing guns or devices -- they don't follow your markings properly. Go to Lora.

    I've been going to Patriots for around 8 years now and they have never disappointed me. The…read moreservices i've received are; lobe piercings, nostril piercing, industrial piercing, shin tattoo, inner forearm tattoo, hip bone tattoo, and a front thigh tattoo. In addition, Patriots is my first to recommend when someone mentions seeking tattoos or piercings. I have numerous friends who also have tattoos from this shop. Following given care instructions, I've had great healing experiences with my tattoos and piercings. I've been to various tattoo artists and piercers here, my personal favorite has been Mauricio, tattoo artist. Curt is the shop manager and he's great, friendly and always welcoming. I'll continue to seek services at this studio in the future!

He took his time, was really patient, extremely professional and cool. Hands down, I've literally never had a steadier hand tattoo me, he is ridiculously precise and a perfectionist. (Literally looked like printed on me, it's crazy) Absolutely hilarious too. He brought my idea to life better than I ever imagined it could be, his input and opinions on things are top tier, he just has that gift/talent and it shows! My whole family gets their tats with him and i recommend him a million times over. Also the shop in general is the coolest/chillest atmosphere, my face hurt from laughing all day! Stop researching shops and stop pushing it off, book Mason. You won't regret it. Thank you Mason and Jasmine, you guys are awesome and I wish you all the best! See you soon for more ink!

    Do not come here unless you are fine with undisclosed, AI-designed tattoos…read more We booked with Ken, and came in for a consult. We provided numerous reference images and discussed the overall design and goal with him. We then paid a $500 deposit for him to design and draw the tattoo over the course of a month, with the rest due once we got the tattoo. We were really hopeful and encouraged based off his portfolio and the studio's overall reputation. First, we did not receive the design until 2 days before our appointment. Second, once we saw the design, it clearly involved clipart and AI. Third, the design did not match at all what we discussed in the studio. When we asked about how the design was generated, and specifically whether AI was used, Ken said no, he drew it himself. We gave him the benefit of the doubt and asked to talk about changes before coming to the studio. He said no, changes would have to be discussed and made same-day. Once we came to the studio, Ken was polite, but the disconnect only worsened. We explained the problems with the design, and gave additional reference images. He asked for some time to rework based off those reference images. 30 minutes later, he showed us a plainly AI generated, generic image that did not align with the design at all. At this point he admitted to using AI. We explained we did not want AI used to design the tattoo, and he said he would try again. 30 minutes later, he showed us a design outline. We noticed more inconsistencies that suggested it was still based off AI. We asked again whether AI was used again, and he admitted that he outlined the AI output based on a reference image we gave him. At this point we felt unheard and frustrated, and asked for a refund. He initially said no, and then ultimately conceded a partial-refund. In total, we spent $250 and 3 hours of our time to not get a human-made design, or a tattoo at all. We each have tattoos already. We appreciate and want to support artists. But this was unacceptable. If you want to know AI is not used in your tattoo, or feel confident that your design will be followed, do not go here.
