The artist (Dylan) who did my tattoo was awesome. I was super happy with the work, he made some great recommendations to help make sure I got exactly what I wanted. I loved the vibe, everyone in there was great. The shop was super clean. 12/10 would recommend and will definitely return. read more

Tina did a 2nd lobe piercing for me & wow. I can't say enough about her professionalism, patience and overall friendly demeanor. I was in & out in 15 minutes. We will be returning with our daughter as she now wants her ears pierced. Thank you Tina!!! read more

I've been here quite a few times. It's an amazing shop. Respectful tattoo artists and great environment overall. In love with all the work Chris B. has done on me. (Pictures) I brought him ideas and he's always done them without any complaints or anything. Changed up the styling and even added some stuff upon my request while already tattooing. Great service, great artists, great people. Definitely recommend. read more

Twice I've stopped in to see Mike Knox. The first was for me, the second for my boyfriend. My daughter was friends with his sister and said he was really good. I can only say that he is rather rude and condescending. He only wants you to come in with what you want already printed out. I had ideas what I wanted, but wasn't sure how to put it together. He said to come back when I knew exactly what I wanted. Since my bf knew what he wanted (covering a light simple previous tattoo), every picture I showed Mike was No, it won't work. He wasn't even willing to work with the new tattoo. Apparently he just want to trace and color in, as opposed to being a real tattoo ARTIST, and create! You can't say this is unusual since it happened to me twice, and other reviewers have stated the same. Also, as I was leaving another customer asked who that was because she wanted to make sure she didn't get him. read more

Gypsy Rose Tattoo - Tattoo ideas Mike said no to. - Tattoo Near Me - Jacksonville, North Carolina

I just received a follow up email from Gypsy Rose asking how my pierce journey is going. They actually remembered my last piercing appointments I've done. My daughters and I have had multiple services completed here. Mike and Tina are phenomenal!!!! Gypsy is my go-to for piercings and my spontaneous tattoos lol. They are extremely professional and no work drama which helps when receiving permanent procedures! love this place. location could be better since it's the boot brigade headquarters lol read more

More expensive for small pieces that other shops wouldn't charge, payed 200 for a small piece that i could have payed 100 for at another shop. Good looking tattoo though and nice people. Very calm inside. Just way to expensive for a small some what shaded tattoo. read more

Angelo really knows what he is doing! I was a walk in and to my knowledge I had brought in an easy and straight forward piece. I have been to other tattoo artists that only seem to let you just put the paper on the body part and not try on the actual stencil, along with not being open to changes because they have too many opinions of what your tattoo should look like; side note, waited for months to get in for something extremely small. At the end of the day it should be what the client is requesting and open to listening. Angelo worked so well with me and what I wanted. the body part I requested was extremely difficult to make sure the lines would match up when I was relaxed in standing position along with being parallel with the ink above. I would recommend him all day and will be going back again for other pieces. read more

I've gotten both nostrils pierced here and also got my belly pierced with this shop and I have never had any issues with them healing. The woman who did my piercings was very nice and made me feel comfortable with her. I wish I remembered her name but I love this place! Coming soon to get tattoos! read more

I first chose Gypsy rose back in 2016 to start my sleeve and have been going back for my tattoo needs ever since. Every employee is extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process, the shop is always clean and always has the best vibes & energy. read more

I've come here to get my double and triple lobe piercing, as well as a double helix, belly button, and septum. Jenn has done all my piercings and they're all amazing and healed nicely! She's so friendly and makes sure everything is as comfortable as possible. Cant wait to go back for more piercings in the future!! read more

I came to Gypsy Rose as an out of town vacationer and I wanted to pick up some piercing jewelry for myself and my daughter. Everyone was very professional and polite and helped me pick out two pieces for myself and for her. When we returned back home, I had noticed we had a little mishap for one of the pieces and they were very professional, courteous and quickly replaced what I needed. That is excellent customer service, especially for someone who was 600 miles away.. read more

I've spent my fair share of time in tattoo shops at this point, but I have to say this is one I can't wait to go back to. Let me start off by saying the waiver process was so quick and easy, just scan the QR code and fill out the digital form. That's IT! First time ever experiencing this and I was already hooked. When I went back with the piercer, Jenn, I was super nervous at first. She was so calm and explained the entire process clearly, I was immediately at ease. I can tell she was very experienced because she's amazing at what she does! I have several piercings but my newest piercing from Gypsy Rose has been my most positive and favorite piercing experience to date. I honestly could not recommend them enough and I'm super excited to go back! read more

Went here to have my eyebrows micro bladed with Jen, and she did NOT disappoint! I'm absolutely thrilled with the outcome. She took her time and made sure I was completely satisfied before I left. Absolutely will return when touch ups are needed! read more

Win or lose. got one tattoo from was very good. another time i was waiting for hours and they never called me back like they were supposed to. customer service is not the best. read more

I was a walk in with a friend for a simple tattoo and they were wonderful, everyone from the desk to the artist was amazing !

We took our 6 year old daughter to get her ears pierced over the weekend. Jenn was absolutely amazing. She was very patient with our daughter who was very nervous to get her ears pierced. We didn't wait very long at all considering it was Labor Day weekend. I will forever recommend Jenn she was an angel! And the pricing of the shop was very affordable! read more

Bre Scott did a few small tattoos for me and I love them! She was great about making the little changes I wanted to the drawings beforehand & the work turned out great. Highly recommend! read more

My friend got a piercing her (I went with her) and the staff was very nice, reassuring, and informative. Also the store stands out better than any other store in the Jacksonville mall. Vibes are immaculate. read more

Came here to get my septum pierced and everyone was so nice! Female piercer (which made me way more comfortable + was nice because I'm used to only seeing guys in tattoo shops). She was knowledgeable and got it done quickly while minimizing the pain! I was in and out in 15 minutes. I'll definitely be coming back here for any future piercings or tattoos. read more

Very unprofessional. I sat there for over 3 hours, picture already provided to front desk staff and everything. I sat there reading similar reviews just to experience the same unprofessionalism. Front desk staff came to me and told me verbatim that every artist overlooked my tattoo and did not want to do it AND the one who normally does the tattoos in that area (behind the ear) didn't want to do it either. When I was reviewing the reviews and looking at the pictures on their company IG page, I should have known better. No black ppl posted...with tattoo work. Attention to detail would have cut off most of my time.... read more

My sister and I went to get matching sunflower tattoos. We arrived at 1100 and waited until 3:30. At 3:30 the lady at the desk came up to us and said that she noticed we had been waiting awhile and that the artists kept moving our tattoos to the bottom of the pile. She said do you want me to go ask if they're comfortable doing your tattoo. She came back and said none of the artists feel comfortable doing a realistic tattoo. I told her this could have been established at 11:00 not after a 4.5 hour wait. I told her it was very unprofessional and was very disappointed. read more

If you want to get a tattoo, don't go to Gypsy Rose and definitely do not get a tattoo done by Mike. He's an absolute no show. They will charge you 50 bucks just to completely waste your time. I had an appointment made and upon 2 hours before it was supposed to be done, I get a call from Gypsy Rose saying "something came up". So I thought, okay stuff happens ya know? I rescheduled the week after and when I walked in for my appointment I had to wait in a line for 30mins just so they could tell me "he's not here" what do you mean he's "not here"? I made an appointment, they called me a day BEFORE to confirm it. They wasted 2 weeks of my time that I could of been actually getting a tattoo. It might not of been Gypsy roses fault but how does a company not know when a guy is working or not.. I mean that's the whole point of an appointment. Save your time and money, never go to this place. read more

Told me my tattoo would be shop minimum then charged me $80 for a badly done tiny tattoo. Will definitely not be going back. Also the guy who did my tattoo started laughing when he thought I was crying which I wasn't. So unprofessional and his skills are crap read more

Best shop I've been too. I've been tatted before in California and Indiana and this shop far surpasses those. Besides the great customer service and the cleanliness and professionalism of the place, the work is superb. I got my piece done by a pretty cool chick named Charlie. Walked in with an idea, she sketched it up exactly how I wanted and when I had to reschedule they had no problems at the front desk. Would love to get more work done here in the future if only I wasn't getting restationed in a couple weeks. Awesome place. Cool fact: it's also home to the East Coast Ink Magazine read more

I have been here on three different occasions. Staff is always friendly and Charlie is the best artist ever! read more

I've had 3 piercing done by Tina. She did a GREAT job!!!! She made me comfortable and answered all of my questions I will be back

This place was accommodating and a clean place the only down side was when I asked to have the whole back integrated she didn't either understand or disregarded what I wanted and now it looks like I have 5 separate tattoos on my back vice one large integrated tattoo. read more

Got my first tattoo done here, it was recommended by a friend. Then went back a month later for my nose piercing. Great service in my opinion. Professional and I will definitely be going back. read more

I had my nose pierced (not here) about a month ago. My nose ring fell out and I called the original shop to have someone put it back in. The original piercer wasn't helpful and needless to say I thought I'd have to let my fresh piercing close. I called Gypsy and told them about my problem and they were SOOO nice and helpful. When I finally arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and shortly their piercer came out. She took me in the back and put my nose ring in. She was the sweetest person and whenever I have issues with my piercing or even consider getting another, I WILL COME HERE! thank you Gypsy! read more

Tina is freaking amazing! I've had many piercings and she is by far the most professional yet fun person ever! You immediately feel comfortable with her and she's very throughout and clear with her instructions, after care, etc. I won't ever go anywhere else for piercings ever again! read more

I am so glad that I brought my teen daughter into Gypsy Rose for ear piercings. Tina was an amazingly warm professional who did an absolutely perfect job. Would recommend this option rather than a hole punching pierce gun, for any age. The entire experience was very positive and even zen! Thank you GRT read more

After my experience today I won't go anywhere else. I'm so glad I discovered Gypsy Rose. Everyone is so welcoming and willing to work with your every need. The owner David is super cool and AJ was a great tattoo artist. Such clean lines and a light hand! Very talented. Good vibes all around this shop! read more

Just recently visited this shop for my sons first tattoo!! Very impressed with the cleanliness of the shop. The price he paid was extremely reasonable and the guy who tattooed my son was super friendly and did an Amazing job. He Loves his tattoo, and has already told me he's going back to the same guy for a few more tatts. read more

I couldn't be happier! To start off every employee is so friendly and the shop is immaculate.. This shop is amazing!! Jamee did the best job tattooing over my scar tissue and stretch marks!! I will be going back to have her touch up and fix all my tattoos! If 10 stars was an option they would get it! Thank you for making me feel better about my stomach insecurities.. read more

Had a really great experience here. I live in NYC, but found it super difficult to find a place here that I could trust. I went to visit my sister in NC and she told me about this place as I'd been dying to get a new piercing. Since she works in the mall in Jacksonville, she's been here a few times to get various work done. We walked in, let the ladies at the desk know what we were looking for and they set us up with Vanessa. Vanessa was GREAT! Super informative about the process and after care. She was clean, thorough and explained everything as she was doing it. It's been three weeks since I've gotten my nose pierced and I've had no issues whatsoever. Appreciate you all! read more

This place is awesome, walked in on a Wednesday afternoon asking for us 3 girls to get matching tattoos. We only had to wait tens mins and they took us all back. AJ was awesome, clean lines and light hand. Everyone there was so extremely friendly and welcoming! I would definitely go back for any future work or piercings. Ask for AJ guys! read more

Great location I think that's why it gets as much business as it does. The staff the greets you and helps you always has a smile and help you understand things. The price starts at $50 no matter how small you want it. I tried to get a finger tattoo a few weeks ago and they said they wouldn't do it because I didn't seem to have enough tattoos to understand how fast it will fade. The artist ended up telling me either I'd have to change the location of the tattoo or I'd have to goto a different shop. I ended up changing the location and I got a quarter size tattoo of a cross and was charged $90. Not making anymore plans to go back for tattoos but I love the girls that do piercings they are genuinely sweet and make you feel very comfortable! read more

So after getting multiple tattoos and piercings, after family has gotten multiple tattoos, and after ALWAYS giving excellent reviews and sending hundreds of people to Gypsy Rose I can't say how disappointed I am today in how we were treated when 5 of us walked in to get tattoos. We could see several employees just standing around, they were not busy, we were told they only had one person available to do walk-ins, that that person was busy all day and the girl at the front desk pretty rude about it to boot. We had called ahead and were told something completely different. NOT HAPPY AND IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE WE WILL RECOMMEND AGAIN! read more

They may do great work but they are the most unprofessional. If you want to spend all day waiting for the appointment that was double booked or wait while they try to do a 3 hour tattoo on someone else that they started 20 min before your appoinent then this is your place. They won't have your drawing ready if you come in before hand so at your appointment they can just start. Nope. Yes tattooing is its own kind of business but if they want to be taken seriously some professionalism would be nice. And not once has the receptionist ever looked happy to do her job. read more

My daughter got her ears pierced here and an infection 2 days later with pus draining, inflamed and pain. Removed the stud to realize it wasn't even a 'piercing stud' but a regular cheap earring. Piercing studs have a pointed needle end and are thicker. This was a cheapo regular earring, flat ended and it was even slightly bent. Very unhappy. Charged $40 for an infection. Thanks for nothing. I was recommended by my nephew who has gotten beautiful tattoos done here. They may do wonderful tats but their piecing SUCKS! I wouldn't recommend them for piercing. http://i68.tinypic.com/xksys3.jpg read more
