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.

Went back to get my Harry Potter tattoo redone it came out a lot better than before thanks to the owner and they redid my other tattoo on my arm I'm extremely happy with both tattoos can't wait to get my next tattoo!

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!

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!! :)

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.

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!

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!

from the moment you call to the moment you step foot through the door of that shop, you'll feel…read morelike you're in good hands. I did so much research before booking an appointment with Jen because I specifically wanted to get my nipples pierced. I wanted to go to someone with experience and all the reviews online pointed to Jen! getting an appointment was not difficult, you can book online. paperwork must be completed prior to your appointment. when you first arrive, you need to text the number on the door before they let you in. once you are inside, they'll confirm your piercing of choice with you and then Jen pops out of nowhere and takes you into a room! she let me start off with any questions I had and boy, did I have a lot. I had gone down an internet rabbit hole and I knew I needed to speak to an actual professional before the piercing. Jen is a saint with the patience of an angel. she showed me a few photos and helped me figure out if I wanted a vertical or horizontal nipple piercing. she will make sure everything is consensual prior to doing it. I got to pick out my jewelry prior to the piercing and she sanitized the jewelry in the room. now, I knew I went with the right piercer when Jen took her sweet, sweet time marking my nipples. not only did she take her time, she made sure it was even and looked good. I was so impressed with her ability to eyeball a nipple and to get it centered. Jen will mark your nipples a few dozen times, but you want that because the last thing you want is a freaking lopsided piercing so trust the process! when we started the actual process of piercing, she went through how she was going to pierce it and had me take a deep breath to help with the nerves. a nipple piercing seriously hits a little differently than a piercing on your ear. the pain didn't last very long and Jen asked if I needed additional time before piercing my other nipple....which I declined because I really just wanted it done after the piercings, she had me lay there for a bit before sitting up. I know getting up too fast can make some people light headed especially after a piercing and she explained, it can happen especially when the blood flow is redirected after a procedure like so. she went over healing, what to do and what not to do after the piercing and cleaning with me. all in all, Brilliance Piercing is highly recommended. I truly can't thank Jen enough for dealing with my hundreds of questions, making sure my piercings would look good, making sure I was comfortable every step of the way and most of all for just being one of the best professional piercers I have ever encountered. if you're interested in piercing your body in anyway, I cannot recommend Jen enough. she only works two days a week now so for me to snag a 4:50 PM appointment on a Thursday with her was a blessing. also big shout out to Keightley and Elizabeth for their fantastic customer service. they answered all my questions and were super patient with me as well!

I initially came here to get my ears repierced after they closed up during my postpartum period. I…read moreswallowed the high price tag expecting premium service, but their customer service is completely rigid and lacking any basic empathy. Be prepared to spend hundreds of dollars once you factor in the premium jewelry they require you to purchase. Their piercing appointments are scheduled for an hour, yet the actual piercing only takes about 5-10 minutes. A significant portion of the appointment is spent discussing and selling jewelry. The real problem came with the follow-up downsizing appointment. After they emailed me to schedule it, the earliest availability was about a month out. As a new mom coordinating childcare for a baby and making a 40-minute drive through NoVA traffic is not easy. The downsizing appointment itself is only scheduled for 20 minutes, which made what happened next even more frustrating. Unfortunately, there was a lot of traffic on a Saturday and I arrived 12 minutes late. When I got there, a front desk lady met me at the door and refused to let me in. My appointment was canceled on the spot because I hadn't called or texted to say I was running late. I was driving and not checking my phone, which apparently didn't matter. There was no flexibility, no understanding, and no sympathy whatsoever for any circumstances. I was told another client was waiting in their car. So after waiting a month for an appointment, arranging my schedule around a baby, and driving 40 minutes, I left without receiving any service at all. Their policies may be their policies, but customer service matters too. The experience felt cold, inflexible, and completely dismissive. Given how much time is built into their appointments and how heavily they emphasize jewelry sales, I was surprised there was absolutely no flexibility for a customer who was a little late due to traffic. There are plenty of piercing studios out there, and after this experience, I would absolutely not waste time here. The prices are already high, and the lack of consideration for customers and new moms made me feel like a lesser person.
