Flew in for a conference and Amanda did two tattoos for me. I have 5 others including a leg piece and her touch was the lightest I have ever felt. Shop was clean. Staff INCREDIBLY friendly. Amanda is amazing. Super talented!!!! I wanted to move her and her family to AK!! If I lived anywhere near there she would be covering me with art. read more

Not only did we end up getting a beautiful tattoo, he even offered to go over a small tattoo on the arm that was fading. Amazing service and amazing people. 10/10 recommend. Will 100% be back. read more

A total 10/10, it was a late Sunday evening and I was looking for places to get my nipples pierced. I had called tons of places and this one ended up on my phone. I called and the staff was polite and they invited me in with open arms. Turns out later, they even stayed late to give me my piercings. Talk about above and beyond! The piercings turned out great and are healing nicely. My piercer, Jess was kind and professional. I highly recommend this place especially for piercings! read more

I got this tattoo two years ago by the artist boy. It still has it's color and it healed really good . Next time you visit ask for boy. read more

Hollywood Ink - Double flat piercing and a conch - Tattoo Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE - SHADY OWNER. I got a quote from the owner, Mike, last month for an $80 tattoo. I told him i would be in when I got that chance. This past week I got a text from Hollywood Ink saying that they were doing 30% off tattoos for the month of February as well as $10 if you leave a good review. I texted Mike and told him i wanted the same tattoo, and he went on to say that the normal price would be $150!!!! Discount AND good review included, the same tat he originally quoted for $80 is now $95. THIS IS A SHADY COMPANY PLEASE TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE. read more

Mortified by this tattoo. Was told I could get it retouched ASAP, pretty sure he knew it was fucked up. Too bad I don't trust him to retouch it without fucking it up further. read more

Hollywood Ink - Tattoo Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

NO STARS!!!! SHOCKED AT THE MISHANDLING OF CUSTOMERS!! We were literally cursed out by the owner!!! Went in for a nose ring with a couple girlfriends. As we walked to the seat together... owner aggressively walks over and loudly says "you gotta get back over there" shocked we all felt the awkward tone. It's never what you say but how you say it. As we back against the wall one of us get close to our friend to take a picture so we can all walk back to the seating area... Owner walks back over LOUDER "DIDNT I SAY GET BACK" ... we all froze and express "wow" . I said to him that delivery was horrible and could say things nicer as we were no longer in the way . Owner proceeds to say "i said get back idiot" ... there were a few choice words i had for him to express the disappointment in his behavior and word choice for us before we departed but know he isn't pleasant and the employees are also aware of his behavior. What will never happen is allowing someone to speak to me in such a tone. We brought money to spend and the customer service is not their. That also has to impact the service they provide from consistent distraction of his behavior....you could see the employees happiness to see someone stand up to him. Very angered man !!!!!! Please go where you can receive a great tattoo /piercing AND be respected ... I'm more than positive you can get all 3 in other establishments read more

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!!!!!! The way he, the owner talked to us! Told us to get us the "fuck" back as we were with our friend to get her nose pierced ! Yelling and screaming at my pregnant best friend!!!!!!! Called us idiots! He did not and would NEVER get our business!!!!! #RUN read more

Hollywood Ink - RUDE AND WRECK LESS OWNER - Tattoo Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Do not recommend. They demand customers wear masks while employees don't have too. Will not be returning. Be fair and make everyone wear them or don't make anyone. Just doesn't make sense to me. read more

I went in tonight and got a tattoo on my forearm of a lily flower for my mom. My artist, Jesse (I believe that was his name) did an awesome job and I couldn't be more pleased. I'm absolutely in love with this tattoo and I paid a good price for great work. Love this place, I'll definitely be back! read more

I like this shop and the artists...couple months back my friend was looking for someone to do a nice size piece on his back- that night! Called them up and Beebe said come on him, he'd stay until the job was done. He drew up an awesome design and we were here until 3am. Dedicated. Brought my lil cuz for his first and another guy did a great job for a great deal. I also got my nose pierced that night and dude (wish I could remember his name!) was super patient, explained everything and was pretty awesome. I'm back today with my aunt and decided to go ahead and get one by Beebe. He's got the quietest gun ever and a soft touch. I also got my nose ring switched out (ouch!!) The shop is currently going trough a little remodel but is clean, has a pool table, a tv where you can watch Netflix and of course music playing. There are private rooms in the back if you're getting something in private places lol. I recommend this place and at least 3 of the artists here. Nice peeps and accommodating. read more

Tattoo artist Mushu was very rude. When getting quoted for 3 tattoos and asked about pricing for my friends tattoo being so pricey, he gave me a higher price for my tattoo for the "hassling"!! WTF, I simply asked why her tattoo would cost so mush since it was only 3 words. Her was the same price as mine with major detailing!! I don't mind paying for a quality tattoo, but being rude about it is not how you make your money!! Definitely will not be back to this establishment!! read more

Shop is super clean and everyone (except the guy who did my tattoo) is super friendly and will keep you laughing. The pricing is great, my friend and I both came prepared to spend about $200 a piece and we spent a little less than that together, and we both got decent size tattoos. The reason I gave them four stars instead of five is because of two things. They say they open at noon, but no one showed up until about 1:30. By that time there was a good bit of people waiting (but they got everyone in, taken care of and cleared out by 3:00). When we did get in there was only one guy there at the moment. He started asking people who were getting tattoos if they knew what they wanted/where they wanted it and he immediately started having people send him stuff so he could print it and have everything ready so we could in the chair once the other artist arrived. He told those that was getting piercings that the piercer would be there shortly. The second thing is my tattoo artist was really unfriendly (I've never had an artist that didn't talk to me while I was getting my tattoo done). He only spoke to me to tell me to stand up, turn slightly or some other instructions. When I was finished I asked him if he had changed because I was still planning on tipping him and he just looked at me and said no. I thought it was odd that he didn't check with anyone else in the shop, as I had seen the artist giving each other change the entire time I was there. He did do a really good job. Mike did my friends tattoo and he was really nice and did a great job. I would go back, but next time I'll get there a little later in the day! read more

Hands down the best shop in Charlotte. Every time I go, I'm blown away with the hospitality, the quality, & the price. Everyone there is so friendly and knows exactly what they're doing! Whether you're looking for a small piece or something dramatic, this is the place to go!! read more

Great place! I've gotten literally dozens of tattoos here and the staff executes them well and grew to become like family to me. The owner Mike and artist Dre are who I recommend getting work done from. read more

Hollywood Ink is the ONLY place I patronize when I'm craving the needle...straight like daaat!!!

Perfect tattoo place! I've come here 3 times and received excellent service. Very clean environment and all the artists are friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Ramone is so awesome. I came and got my nostril pierced. He was so calming and smooth. My service went seamlessly.

I came here to get my belly button pierced, and honestly had such a great experience! the staff was super friendly. Rose, who had done my piercing, was excellent. She was super friendly and SUPER fast! gave clear instructions on how to care for the piercing and the day after, I got a text from them to check up on me and how the experience with them went. I HIGHLY recommend them, and I'll definitely be going back soon! (: read more

I am appalled at the quality of work performed at this tattoo joint. The tattoos done on my arms (both the size of a dime) were done for 60 BUCKS! Not only was I grossly OVERCHARGED, but when I arrived to complain to the shop manager, it turns out SHE IS THE ONE WHO DID THE POOR WORK (COURTNEY)! Instead of apologizing and understanding the lack of quality of work, another artist pointed to a different tattoo on my shoulder and stated it was poorly done and too spread out. Having nothing to do with the reason I was there, the unprofessionalism of this place has caused me to make known what happened to me at HOLLYWOOD INK (3501 S. Tryon St, Charlotte, NC) to all individuals looking to get a piercing or a tattoo. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE! YOUR MONEY IS NOT WORTH THE POOR QUALITY OF WORK AND UNPROFESSIONALISM YOU WILL ENCOUNTER!!!!! I am posting this review on all tattoo review sites and yelp. Save yourself the drama (AND THE MONEY!) read more

I would give zero stars but that wasn't an option. Very unprofessional. Trash talked about my girlfriends existing tattoo to her face. He seemed to enjoy laughing at her which is very inappropriate. Was very rude. Took my business elsewhere. Black Clouds to be specific. Amazing guys working there! read more

I got a tattoo from a guy named Frost and that tattoo means a lot to me because it's a mantra I used to get through certain things. And the tattoo was terrible. The customer service was also terrible. When I went there Frost seemed like he did not want to do my tattoo and he had an attitude the whole time. When I left he just taped a piece of blue plastic to my arm. The tattoo was $100 and was not worth it at all. I have a couple scars on my right arm, there are missing lines, and the words are too close together. You can't even read part of it because of the missing lines and the scars Frost gave me. I went there last weekend to see if I could get my money back and all of the owners employees said the owner would be the only one that could get my money back so they gave me his phone number. I texted and I got no reply. For the past week I've been trying to get my money back by getting in contact with the owner. I was DMing him and he would read my messages but not reply. Today I had to call the shop and one of his employees said his phone was broken but right when I got off the phone with the shop the owner called me and said I had to get my money back from Frost. He told me that he didn't work at Hollywood ink anymore and that he worked at tattooing u. I've been in contact with Hollywood ink for months but when I got in contact with Frost he constantly cut me off and told me I can't get my money back and eventually hung up on me while I was mid sentence. My tattoo looks terrible and I was gonna use the refund money to get the tattoo put somewhere else and I would eventually save up the money to get the bad one covered up by someone with more experience. read more
