    Leaf design by Miles

    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.

    Front of the Tattoo

    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!

    Old tattoo

    Rafael did a fantastic job in covering up an old tattoo. I would so so recommended him!! He made me feel comfortable o was a bit skeptical that it could be fixed, and he pictures are worth a thousand words!!!!

She is super personable to talk to - that my session went by pretty quickly - and so skilled at what she does. I sent over two inspo pictures and she got the design just right with the font, spacing and even delicateness of the letters! I absolutely love it. I normally get skin hives from environmental stressors but my tattoo was only slightly red immediately after and not hiving at all in the recovery. It is healing really well, too. The business itself is also very welcoming and bright. I cannot recommend this business and Maddy enough!

I came to Wicked Goddess after my 9 year old daughter told me she was ready to get her ears pierced. alright, easy enough. I knew I wasn't going to take her to Claire's & I was worried about piercing her ears while they would still be growing. in comes Rachel, who came highly recommend on the Google and reddit. I booked the appointment for the end of November for Rachel since I figured this would give my daughter enough time to back out if she changed her mind. she did not. so the day after Thanksgiving, we went over to Mosaic to get her ears pierced. they let her pick out her earrings first and were so great. they let her hold the earrings up to her ear to give her a visual and gave her plenty of time to pick. Rachel sanitized everything and took her into the piercing room once she was ready. Rachel marked her ears a little higher up so when she grows, it'll be more centered as she got older. then came the first piercing, which my sensitive soul daughter took very personally. she refused to get her second ear pierced claiming she couldn't go through with it. with Rachel, my SIL, my husband and I trying to provide positive encouragement to continue on. Rachel ended up giving her the option to go grab some lunch to relax after the first piercing and to come back after. after our ramen lunch, we went back to get her second piercing. obviously it wasn't an easy task getting her to go through with it. I ended up having her sit down on my lap with Katseye playing just so Rachel could finish it. so to the amazing Rachel (who just came back from maternity leave!!), thank you! my daughter loves her piercings now and can't/won't stop looking at them. Rachel honestly has the patience of a saint even after my kid screamed bloody murder in her piercing room. if you're looking for a fantastic piercer for your child, I'd go to Rachel. she's a mother herself and understands children. she's soft spoken and really strives to make sure your child is comfortable and ready. not related, but there's free parking in the garage across the street. don't be an idiot like me who paid for parking in front.

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.

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!

I'm really happy to have…read morefound them because they actually educated me on piercing care, proper piercing process, etc. it was taking my piercings so long to heal, and I found out that they were pierced at an angle and weren't really going to heal. So I had to let them heal before I could get it done right. I had mostly had Jen do the piercings and the downsizing when it came time. She always gave feedback and was very patient with my questions as well. Tobias was the last person I saw for what was supposed to be a last downsize before I'm set until they heal, but they recommended I stick with the current post. So I actually didn't have to have anything else done. Now, I'm just waiting for my helixes to heal! Here are some more information that may help you determine if Brilliance Piercing is the studio for your piercing needs: they require appointments for any type of service (no drop-ins/walk-ins); they only work with jewelry they have for sale (I believe this is to ensure that the quality of the jewelry is top-notch and they know exactly the metal content - optimal healing conditions); when you have an appointment, you can't bring anyone with you; their jewelry are quite pricey, but not much more than other studios around. Their team is always upbeat, friendly, patient and knowledgeable: they will answer any question you may have and also always ensure you are aware of anything important regarding your piercing after care, etc. They have a wide selection of jewelry appropriate for whatever piercing you're getting! I'm happy with my experience and will come back for more piercings when I'm ready! I trust their professional opinions and also feel comfortable with the quality of their services. Definitely recommend.
