We did set up a last minute appointment and wasn't a huge fan of waiting outside in cold weather for like 15-20 mins but it was due to very strict hygiene/ sanitation reasons. They also had us sanitize as we walked in so very clean! It's actually a pretty small shop inside but their prices are great for the art, they also are willing to work with your budget by adjusting size or design which is helpful if you are on a budget. Would recommend especially after they messaged later reinforcing that they are there if we needed anything later on. Thank you to Jimmy who did the tats and Max who got us the info to get us in!

Art fuel tattoos had great reviews so I booked a consultation with Brian. I showed him my family crest which was a rough picture. Brian tweaked it here and there and what a amazing job he did. Brian is truly a gifted artist. I came in Wednesday at noon and was there until 6. The staff made me feel like one of the family. Brian spent so much time to every detail. I was sooooo pleased. I hope he will display my tattoo on his website. It is truly a work of art. I highly recommend art fuel tattoos and definitely recommend Brian. Friends and family members are booking with Brian now. I am so happy I did my research and found Art fuel. Rob Williams

For a good reason as well, each artist has their style so make sure to look at the website for their portfolios. I really loved Meaghan Angel's work, & luckily I was able to get tatted really quickly (perfect timing hehe). I gotta say, if you're just stopping by Wilmington or live here & want to get a tattoo, this is the place. I don't think I'll go anywhere else, because that's how solid this place is to me. I decided to get two tattoos, which only took about 2.5 hours or so. Meaghan is amazing, I have so much respect for her and her work. She made me feel so comfortable and made me laugh so much, I dont think I've laughed like that in awhile :,) I love her input & she really made the tattoos come to life. I'm in love with them, I can't stop looking at my arm now!! I have a couple other tattoos, but by far these are my favorite now. Thank you so much Meaghan (if you ever read this) I'll be back again!!

She also has aftercare packages available to make sure your healing process goes smoothly. I have sent my mom, brother, and friends her way as well. I could go on and on and say so many great things about her and will always give my highest recommendation.
