    Piercing after I got it.
    Jordan T.

    I got my helix pierced and my piercer (Megan) was amazing, her people skills were great and she was very kind. When giving the piercing she made sure to let me know exactly what she was doing and after giving the piercing she made sure to give a very thorough explanation on after care. Not to mention she was very cleanly with her work. My overall experience was great the staff has amazing customer service skills and I will definitely make sure to go here for future piercings.

    Megan gave me a daith piercing and my daughter a helix piercing. She did an amazing job. The place was very clean. Everyone was very polite. Megan explained everything in detail and even offered her Instagram in case we needed to contact her in the future. If we need piercings or tattoos I will definitely return.

    Love my tattoo!  (done by Melissa Ferranto)

    In doing my research for a black and grey realism tattoo artist in the Jacksonville area, I found Melissa Ferranto of Elite Tattoo Gallery. She was great to work with, really listened to what I wanted, and delivered on point. It's obvious how passionate she is about her work, as well as the clients she works with and the connection between them and the tattoo artist. Elite Tattoo has an open and welcoming environment. The staff was very friendly during both my consultation visit and the day of my tattoo appointment. Upon walking in, one of the things that impressed me the most was that instead of the walls being covered in tattoo work, it was instead covered in original art works from the tattoo artists. This is a great way to show off their extended creativity. If anyone in the Jacksonville area is looking to get a tattoo, I highly recommend calling Elite and setting up a consultation.

    The tattoo I wanted

    I was super excited about getting another tattoo. I have several and I have been to many tattoo shops. I know what happens and how to explain what I want. I showed the lady at the front counter the tattoo I wanted (it was a drawing a friend drew that I loved). She recommended a tattoo artist (Chris Swenski). So I went in for a consultation, he was very professional and cool. I showed him the picture I wanted he said okay we will have to move some things around because the lettering could get lost in the face. I understood and thought he was going to edit the original image. So I got an appointment for 2 months later and he msgs me with his design (second photo with my skin as the background) two days before my appointment. This was not what I wanted at all, I couldn't believe he sent it to me. I was like "what happened to the photo I sent"? He said "I don't do replicas" which he did not communicate to me AT ALL. He said "this is a custom tattoo shop, no one here does replicas". ??? Where was this information when I was at the consultation, before I put down a deposit? So yeah I lost $180, don't be me.

    I'm a huge Tink fan and I told Shane what I wanted and he executed it perfectly!!

    This is seriously one of THE BEST tattoo shops I've ever been in! The atmosphere is phenomenal! The staff is beyond friendly and I've never felt uncomfortable chatting with any of them, even if they aren't the artist I'm seeing. I've had my daith pierced there and just today an awesome tattoo by the most impressive Shane! (He's now done 3 pieces for me and 2 for my husband) He's great about making sure you see him go through all the proper sanitizing techniques and always lets us know the best way to care for our art after he's done. As long as I live in Jacksonville this will be my shop! And even if I move away I still think I'd travel back for any work I want done! Can't say enough good things about them! Do yourself a favor and CHECK THEM OUT!

    Bethany did an amazing job with my tattoo. She is a fantastic artist. I absolutely love the work she did and will definitely go back to her next time in Jacksonville.

    Bethany did an amazing job on my tattoo and she was able to produce my tattoo very fast (about 3 days to draw up my tattoo). I highly recommend going to Elite Tattoo. The atmosphere was great and the staff was very professional.

    Work done by Shane Prater
    Brittney G.

    Shane Prater has done 3 tattoos for me now over the past month, and 1 for my husband. One of mine was a difficult coverup, that he nailed. The dude has skills. You get what you pay for. Great tattoos are not cheap, and cheap tattoos are not great. The shop is very clean and beautifully designed. It's also nice watching Shane sanitize everything, using unopened sterile products, etc. There's no question about the work done or the health standards. We've experienced nothing but friendliness and professionalism from every employee we've encountered here. You won't regret going to Elite Tattoo Gallery.

    Awesome job Shane
    Jon R.

    Amazing work amazing experience. Had a piece done by a "butcher" years ago. Girlfriend asked if it was a jail tattoo and that's when I knew I needed to stop being lazy and fix it. Shane at Elite was recommended and wow. Not only did he bring it to life and make it look 100xs better, he didn't change the original idea of the tattoo, was light handed, did perfect color blending, and was one of the fastest artists I've had. My next ink, will with out a doubt, be done by Shane at Elite.

    Hand written thank you card I got in the mail just shows what excellent customer service you get from Elite Tattoo Gallery!

Finding the office was a little confusing because there is no clear signage indicating that it is part of Wilmington plastic surgery. It almost felt like it was a big secret. I didn't realize it was the actual office until I walked in and seen the small sign near the registration window. It was still questionable because the office appears to be shared with another specialty practice. I waited in the waiting area for not one hour, but for over an hour! Probably one hour and 10-15 mins. There was another patient in front of me who thought she was forgotten about too. She went up and asked the clerk if she had been skipped or forgotten. I was pretty frustrated since I had gone out my way to get a babysitter for that morning. The front office staff never apologized or acknowledge that I had been waiting a long time. Finally I got up to ask, they told me that the doctor was a bit behind which is understandable... it happens. They could have came out and informed me and the other patient who was waiting. An hour is a long time to sit in a waiting room. Dr. Morgan was the only person who acknowledged and apologized for the wait. He was GREAT! Best bedside manner I've encountered from any physician. Lastly, I was supposed to be contacted regarding the consultation and pricing. No one ever contacted me. The doctor's assistant said I would be contacted either that day or the next day. Their secretary that adds up the cost and provides the consultation quote was at lunch. It's been almost two weeks and I still haven't heard back. I'm not going to use this place because they will not do both of the procedures (same area) at the same time. It is a very common procedure done at the same time. I do not want to have to have two separate procedures if it is not necessary.

This time she did it differently and when I asked why she was doing it differently-she said it was a better advanced procedure. Well- it was a disaster. It still IS a disaster. I looked (and STILL do, 10 years later), disfigured, because I have large odd shaped bulges of Juvederm under my eyes that look blue in the artificial light. The Juvederm was placed improperly and it never dissolved as it would have normally, had it been placed properly. (Then I would have looked like a freak for only a year!) I wish I'd never done it. But, I thought she'd do the same procedure, since we had actually spoken about it several times before this appointment. I've spent the last 10 years looking like there is something wrong with my face because of her incompetence, and failure to communicate with me, to ask if I wanted to try the "new" procedure, when I would not have chosen that option, and spared myself a decade of disfiguration. Every time I look in the mirror I see it, and I would have loved to just look like I did before all of this, what a huge mistake.
