Inki (owner) at Inkiadore in Springfield VA is a fantastic artist. Inki tattooed my full color wolf tattoo in one 8 hour session. She is patient, passionate about her art, efficient, very very skilled, funny and takes great pride in her work. I got my 2nd tattoo and she drinker my first tattoo included in the price for my new one!! She was so nice she bought me dinner (Sushi!!) and worked super hard. She took her time and the end result was exactly what I wanted. I reccomend anyone looking for a tattoo to head there first! I will be back for future tattoos! read more

Recently booked an appointment with Jayd'n Party to get my second lobe piercings with my mom and cousin who got their cartilage done. Jayd'n was such a chill presence when I was initially anxious to get my first piercings as an adult. He walked me through the whole process and made sure the placement worked to balance the slightly lopsided holes I already had from childhood. He handed me a little cupcake plushie to squeeze during the piercing and that's the kind of customer service I love. I'm so happy with how my new piercings look and I'll most likely be back with a friend in the near future to get another! read more

DO NOT, REPEAT, NOT ever take your $ or time to Inkladore Tattoo / Piercing Studio in Springfield - NOT EVER! I wish 0 was a rating option, but I'll have to settle with a 1. Kinda like getting the 13th place participation ribbon; fitting for Inkladore. Long story short, Inkladore made appointments only after receiving our deposits; then agreed to see three of us for a group tattoo session. But, 2 weeks later, we show up - not enough tattoo artists and they seemed to forget their commitment to us for the $150 we deposited. After 45-minute wait (with other customers being serviced), we were told there was only 1 tattoo artist, for 2 (not 3) of us, and she was currently busy; so we asked for our $'s back. Poor guy at the desk called the manager, who on speaker phone (for everyone in the store to hear) say, "tell that Bxxxx to Shut the Fxxx Up" when my wife asked for our $150 back.... (it gets better....). The person shouting at everyone then stated, "you aren't getting your $'s back, get out of my store". Finally, I asked for the owner's contact info (as required by the BBB) and was refused that info, then told by the poor guy at the desk, "leave the store now or I'm calling the police". The only silver lining of this tragic story, I finally found THE WORST run business on the planet in over six decades! If you're looking for a case study on how NOT to run a business - your search is over: Inkladore! If you're even remotely considering Inkladore - DON'T! Sebastian read more

Over 2 weeks ago I set up appointments for our daughter, my husband and myself to all get tattoos together. We show early for our noon appointment. Immediately I'm told my artist couldn't make it so I got rescheduled to Wednesday. Fine. Not the family bond experience but she was excited and scared. At 12:45 I'm like what's going on? We were the only clients of the several there still waiting. He said that's the only artist. I asked for 3 tattoos booked at the same time? That's ridiculous. Just refund the deposits and we'll go. He leaves and after several minutes I find him and ask what's going on? I just want the refund and go. Some guy says tell her to shut the fuck up! I'm like what's? Yell at me all you want. I just want my deposits. He yelled get the fuck out of my store or I'm calling the cops. I hope we get the deposits back. Very unsettling situation. I've never been threatened like that over their poor scheduling. No star to them. The one they got was required. read more

Have been here several times for practically all my piercings. My first time there the piercer shoved the needle in half way and took it out and redid it. She does not work there anymore. It came out crooked but I was only 15 so I thought maybe it was fine to just trust the piercer's judgement. I've gotten it repierced after rejection which made it worse due to the incorrect positioning. I also think the bar was too short and they did not say anything about it. I wish there was better communication because I really tried to give this place a chance but I am consistently disappointed. The people there are very nice but I wouldn't get a belly piercing here. Also, my original piercing was fine for about 2 years and then randomly rejected without any idea of what happened. The tattoo I got here (my first tattoo) was beautiful though. I hope this review is received as constructive criticism. read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would...the rudest people ever work here. It seems like they don't understand what customer service is. We came for my sisters tragus and rook. MIND YOU the place was empty, I understand if there's a rush of people but we were the only customers along with one other person (I think was getting a tattoo done). First, my sister is underaged but my mother was there to give consent. Usually for the underaged person getting pierced a student ID is enough with parents ID and consent but the guy was very rude and said we needed her birth certificate. Luckily we also had that... however the guy was extremely rude and seemed like he didn't even want us there. My mom wanted clarity on how much the piercings were and what type of jewelry there was the person helping us seemed so bothered by the the clarifying questions. GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!!!!!!!!!! read more

(0 stars if I could) Avoid Inkiadore at all costs - especially if you value basic decency. I don't usually write reviews, but after the absolute trainwreck that was my experience at Inkiadore at 6400 B Commerce St, Springfield, VA 22150, I feel obligated to warn others. I had previously visited for a small tattoo and a piercing that ended up crooked and had to be taken out permanently -- a red flag I should've taken seriously. Against my better judgment, I returned to get a longer bar for two swollen piercings. The guy at the front was kind and helpful at first, but once the piercing started bleeding (it was extremely swollen), I yelped from the pain and started crying. I wasn't being dramatic, it hurt beyond any piercing or tattoo I have ever gotten (and I have a LOT). Photos are attached. That's when the owner, self-proclaimed "Inki" who was tattooing someone else across the room, suddenly inserted herself into the situation. Without me even addressing her, she barked, "What's the problem?" I calmly explained through tears that the piercing was painful because he had to push it through the swelling. Her response? "Oh, so basically he did his job and you're just crying." Then she went on to call me "obnoxious" for crying-- in front of other clients. Instead of professionalism or empathy, she made it about her ego. I wasn't blaming anyone -- I was in serious pain. The piercer himself was quiet and clearly uncomfortable, as well as the other young (maybe 16-17 yo) receptionists. They lowered their head as if this type of ruthlessness from her had happened before. After he finished the second piercing switch, I thanked him, paid, and even tipped him because he handled things with more care than the owner of the shop. After I paid, I turned to "Inki" and wished her a better positive day, and she spat back: "SINCE ALL YOU DO IS CRY AND ARE WEAK ALL DAY EVERY DAY, I HOPE YOU STOP CRYING. I HOPE YOU HAVE THE DAY YOU DESERVE." I said "I hope you have the day you deserve as well, this is NOT how you treat paying customers." She looked at me and kept repeating, "YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY KIDS SINCE ALL YOU DO IS CRY. I HOPE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY KIDS." (We were never discussing children.) She kept yapping so I waved and closed the door even though I could still hear her ruthless rants. Completely unprovoked. Beyond insulting -- it was cruel. And completely out of line. Well, I hope she gets the reviews she deserves (and honestly, a better life because in anger is no way to live). Based on what I've read since (tons of other 1-star horror stories), this isn't an isolated incident -- it's a pattern. If you want to be insulted, demeaned, and treated like an inconvenience for experiencing pain during a procedure, Inkiadore is the place for you. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else. Edit: I am not threatened by your bringing this to court. If you would like to show what really happened, I will gladly defend the truth. read more

Trash customer service. I called to ask if they had any availability. The guy on the phone said something, but I didn't hear what he said. So I asked, "sorry what was that?" And he repeated what he said like I was a child. Spacing out his words saying "Weeeee willlllll beeeee closesssingggg soooon anddddd weeeeee won'ttttt oopennnnn untillll Tuesssdaaayyyy." Learn how to speak to potential customers cause this ain't it. I just wanted information, and you spoke to me like the world's biggest asshole. Not a good look for your business. read more

I don't like writing negative reviews, I usually will give a place a few chances before I do. Just today my co worker asked about this place and it reminded me of my experience and realized people should know what to expect... A friend and I book two appointments for a nose piercing each. When we walked into the shop, we weren't even greeted. I said hello, and the owner just said to wait. I'm thinking she was doing something important, maybe for another customer. I stood there waiting until I realize it might be more than a minute so I sat down. Eventually another person checked me in. The whole time was just awkward. Turns out, the lady was ordering her car tags????? I only know this because she jumped up and told everybody. When I got put in a section to get started on my piercing, another guy, all the guys were nice by the way, he cleaned my nose and all that. Then he goes to clean my friend's nose, and two girls who've walked in after us, also went to them. At this point I'm so confused because I had an appointment and it seemed like they were getting taken care of too. Then I realized, the guy isn't even piercing my nose. The owner (I'm assuming since her face was on a whole wall, I kid you not) came around and pierced our noses. Again, no greeting, just breath in breath out and leaves. Luckily, they were all practicing good hygiene and were changing gloves and all that. After that's done, the guy tried to clean me up and gave us q-tips and gauze to keep clean and take home. So I'm trying to pay, and all of us are just leaking blood. Mind you this was not neither of us first nose piercing so it felt weird leaving with a whole bloody nose. The good things: good prices and it was quick. My piercing healed just fine read more

We weren't acknowledged when we came in. It was 15 minutes. There was a wait to have any interaction. The front end staff vaping inside not taking that outside. Chill & Hip Hop vibe. It's relaxing not stressful. Services requested to look at my son's Helix due to the swelling. read more

Literally everything. From the consultation, the sketches they did, helping me pick the sizes and then especially the tattoos themselves. They are better than I imagined they would be.

I had the hankering for new ear piercings so I searched for a shop and found this place. I booked an appointment online. I got my ears pierced. It went really well. I really did not feel much pain at all, only a little pinch. I would return for other services. read more

Notes to prospective customers based on my experience: Short version ---- ask specific questions regarding costs when you arrive. Several prices and descriptions of services listed on their booking site are inaccurate. Upon checking in, you will be presented with an electronic waiver, and the staff member will scroll to the bottom of the waiver, and tell you "sign here". Costs are included at the top of the multi-page waiver and this can easily be overlooked. In my case, I was expecting the services and costs as advertised on the website. Jewelry removal being shown as a different service and charge than jewelry change, as indicated in the pictures. However, I was surprised to be charged 10 dollars for each removal of jewelry. Thinking that my being charged for jewelry change was an understandable clerical mistake, I went back a few days later and noted differences with screenshots from their booking website to show that jewelry removal is listed differently than jewelry change. I explained that these appear to be different costs for different services. The business owner was inflexible regarding honoring the discrepancy between their online advertised prices for services when this was pointed out. An apology for the inconvenience or misleading information was not offered by the business owner. Acknowledgment of this inaccurate information as potentially misleading customers would have gone far. Some minor cost adjustment, such as honoring the advertised jewelry change costs when having the jewelry put back in could have been offered as a reasonable option. None of this took place and was disappointing. read more

Worst piercing experience ever. I requested a septum and jewelry change to which the man at the front desk was acting as if I was inconveniencing him. I go to get my septum done which I have had this piercing twice prior so I am incredibly familiar with the pain and process. He pierced me through my cartilage and now I'm in excruciating pain every time I even touch my nose and I'm still bleeding days later. The piercer was nice and tried his best to make me comfortable but I can tell he was not incredibly comfortable or maybe shy. I will now have to take this thing out which is now my money absolutely wasted since they have a strict "no refund" policy. I regret going here and wish I would have just made an appointment to the piercer 15 mins north. Save your time and money if you aren't getting a tattoo or ear piercing. read more

**I forgot to add in my previous review that my daughter (19) & many of her friends go to this location for tattoos and piercings & they love it, so I hope this was just a one time thing** Gave an extra star About a month ago I made an appointment to get a cartilage piercing. Once I got there, the lady at the front desk told me that she would go set up the room & 2 min later she called me back. There was 1 other artist there tattooing (that I could see). Then, I decided on 3 piercings instead of one. After I chose the location & type of jewelry, the other lady (that was doing the tattoo) came in to do the piercings and began speaking to the front desk lady about the size, length, etc. They warned me with each piercing but I've never experienced so much pain (including child birth). But I know that was not their fault, that is cartilage...I explained & was asking questions about care for a cartilage piercing because a long time ago, I had one & it did not heal. They handed me a card of how to take care of a new piercing. They were not very friendly or personable, they were not rude or anything but I did not leave happy and exited about the piercings. Once I started to leave, I was loosing my hearing. So once I got into the car, I started to do research about if this was normal, but I couldn't find anything. I then used the gauze with alcohol & put it in that ear & blood just flowed out onto my shirt, so after a few minutes of holding my head to the right, I started to get my hearing back. (Yes I panicked & thought I lost my hearing permanently)....lol Maybe I'm wrong because I could not see what they did but couldn't they at least warn me that I may have blood coming out of my ear because of the 3 piercings at the same time? (Understandable) Afterwards I was doing a lot of research about care & pain & learned a lot and was able to take care of them properly. After about a month, I went to strictly an piercing place to switch the earrings out, which I learned I needed to do on the internet. And I learned that the posts they used was not titanium & also the posts were too long. But they told me that I was caring for them just right. Now once the piercing place replaced the earrings to titanium & shorter posts, I have not had any pain and I am very happy. I gave 3 stars because I like the piercings but everything else was just not a good experience. read more

This establishment does not deserve any stars. I booked an appt for this past Saturday for 12pm. I sure wished I would have read the reviews before I booked. Reviews are posted for a reason. My appt was with the owner (Natasha). I got there at 11:50am and they sat me in the chair around noon. A young lady came over and put the stencils of the tattoos. After sitting around for an hour, around 1pm, I was told that the artist (Natasha) was on her way. I waited until 1:40pm and she still never showed up. At that point I asked the young lady to remove the ink on my arm because I was not waiting around anymore. I've also asked for my deposit refund and left. Not once did I ever receive an apology for them waisting 1 hour and 40 minutes my time. I don't know how you can run a business without valuing peoples time. That's very bad for business. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

It took me sooo long to write this review because I'm simply not the type to write negative reviews and I wholeheartedly wanted to love this shop and my piercing. But, I also want to be honest. I went in to Ink I Adore for a piercing about 9 days ago (it was the Wednesday right before Christmas). First and foremost, I bled like crazy. I'm not upset about that because I know some people are bleeders and being that this is my nose, I know that there are more blood vessels in that area. Needless to say, I couldn't tell how "wrong" of a piece of a jewelry I had in my nose due to the amount of bleeding (pic 2 is immediately after the piercing; sitting in the parking lot). The next day, I woke up and couldn't see the stud of the piercing. I immediately thought it was due to the swelling and continued bleeding. So, I "let it go." Two days after the piercing , the bleeding hadn't stopped, there was more irritation, and it seemed that the jewelry was starting to sink into my nose (pics 1 and 3). Mind you, I followed cleaning instructions (saline wash only 2-3 times per day - this isn't my first piercing either). By the third day (Saturday), the jewelry had really sunk into my nose (I could barely see it) and there was even more bleeding. Being that it was Christmas Eve, and Ink I adore was closed (I didn't know beforehand), I had to go to another piercer/shop to have them take a look at it due to being very concerned at this point. Come to find out, the jewelry used was a "curl" style nose ring which is a "one size fits all" type of jewelry. That size nose ring did not work for my nose and the post was waaayy too short to accommodate for any swelling. As a result, the jewelry was sinking inside of the swelling. The new piercer had to remove the jewelry placed by Ink I Adore and insert a new piece of jewelry with a longer post to accommodate for the swelling. There was instant relief and the bleeding stopped immediately after the removal of the previous piece of jewelry. Needless to say, this is something that piercers should know already. All jewelry isn't meant for everyone. And the fact that I essentially had to be prodded twice within a few days of each other ---- irritating, expensive, and painful as hell. read more

IF YOU WANT TO STAY SAFE, RUN AS FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE AS POSSIBLE. THIS ONE-TIME EXPERIENCE RUINED EVERYTHING FOR ME AND MY DAUGHTER. I AM TERRIFIED TO EVER ENTER A TATTOO PARLOR AGAIN. I HOPE NO ONE GIVES BUSINESS TO THIS WOMAN, WHO DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO TREAT HER CUSTOMERS AS HUMANS.  PLEASE LOOK AT THE RATINGS AND THE OWNER'S REPLIES TO REVIEWS FROM THE LAST THREE MONTHS, AND YOU'LL GET YOUR ANSWER. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. I have never encountered such appalling treatment in my life. I went to get my three year old daughter's ear pierced at Ink Ladore. The owner was shockingly abrasive and condescending, using curse words towards us. The piercer displayed a shocking lack of professionalism, condescendingly comparing himself to a doctor during what was merely a cosmetic procedure. His 'licensed piercer' title does not grant him the authority or demeanor of a medical professional. He became visibly irritated simply because I wanted to ensure the area marked on my daughter's ear was correct and symmetrical. This level of unprofessionalism was bad enough, but things went from bad to worse. The owner then escalated the situation by engaging in blatant religious discrimination and hurling curses at me, calling us 'fucking weirdos' simply because we were wearing our traditional attire. She was spitting at us, kept using derogatory words towards us and almost raised her hand on me while I was trying to tend to my crying daughter. Her behavior became downright terrifying and completely inhumane. I was genuinely scared for my life. My daughter's ears were still bleeding, and she was crying in pain while the owner continued her tirade, yelling and harassing us. No one cared enough to even help clean her up. The cashier was the only one decent enough to give us tissues to clean my daughter up as the owner continued screaming at us. I had to quickly pay and leave while she continued mocking and ridiculing me to other customers, even mimicking me. I literally had to run for my life. I hope no one has to ever go through an experience like this ever - please do yourself a favor and do not give this woman your business. read more

I came in for a jewelry exchange. Keep in mind, my nose is completely healed and have done several exchanges in the past already. I just have to go into a shop because the original piercer did it wrong many moons ago and an experienced piercer can handle the exchange. My piercer was not experienced. In the countless times I've changed from stud to hoops -- even with the initial weird piercing -- I have never had an experience go so poorly. ---------------- [[longer version of the story]] My previous piercer knew I was moving. He said he's basically gave me an "idiot-proof" stud - the kind that when the top is screwed off, it can be used as a guide for the hoop. The next piercer wouldn't have to fidget around with my nose as much. Guide hoop through and close. Done. This was all explained to the piercer. I literally repeated "I was pierced weirdly. This is what I was told to say about this stud to hoop" . and what did this Ink I Adore employee do? She unscrewed the stud and took it off. She took the hoop and started searching for the hole. (She used the kind of hoop that you have to bend the metal to close.) After pulling and bending my nose to the point where I bled and screamed out loud in the store, piercer said "oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you. You know you're pierced too high?." First, no I'm not scared, I'm being poorly handled. Second, I've said it countless times that I was pierced wrong and I was ignored. She then offers to change it out to the clasp hoops but by that time I could tell her inexperience and I wouldn't want my nose to rip even more. I will be waiting for this to heal and will get it properly replaced somewhere else. read more

(Heads up! this is a piercing review): I really could not recommend this place enough! Zaira has been an amazing piercer and helped me really get into new piercings. The whole vibe of the place is so welcoming and a great place for newbie or veteran piercings! Everyone there is so kind and are super accommodating. I've gotten an eyebrow, industrial, septum, nose stud, and two conch piercings (so far!) here and they've all been healing really well with one exception. The two conch piercings I got I initially had hoops put in, but they were basically squeezing my ear so I went back to replace them with studs. It was really painful, but Zaira was super understanding and helped me through it. And to top it off, she gave me new studs and switched the piercings free of charge! The jewelry selection is limited, but I don't mind because I'd rather have good jewelry in to let each piercing heal than start off too fancy (plus there's a good jewelry kiosk not too far from them too!) 10/10 I LOVE this place and will most certainly come back for more (and maybe even look at tattoos!) read more

One of my daughters has been here twice for her ear piercings. I brought her here after reading many articles about avoiding the ear piercing places in the mall. Everyone seems very professional. The second time we had returned was because my daughter's earlobe was extremely swollen. That can happen if the earrings are worn too tight. The owner had to get the earring out- They did this on a Friday night just when they were ready to close! The owner wouldn't even charge me, so I left a nice tip. She saved us from going to the ER. We highly recommend this location to get your ears pierced. read more

This was my 2nd visit in the last 9 months here for a tattoo. Had a great experience with my daughter back in December working with the owner on a father/daughter piece and was just back today and worked with Fely for the first time on a piece celebrating my older daughter. Beyond satisfied with the service and quality of work. Fely made sure that the vision I had in my head came to life. He is top notch, takes his time and doesn't finish until you are both satisfied with his work. read more

DO NOT GO THERE. My son wanted a tatoo and made a deposit absent requesting health documents supporting vaccinations for hepatitis and HIV. Once I asked for these documents, I was informed that my son's appointment was cancelled because I asked. What is the cost of a tatoo if it comes with the lifelong illness unvaccinated tatoo artists can spread? She could not give a price quote like the firm we choose from Paradise Tatoos. She would not present vaccination or health documents when requested. She is rude and in my humble opine, not transparent in posting health certificates. My son paid $400. and got a custom tatoo within hours NOT WORKING WITH HER. She sent a horrible response after she cancelled my son. Protect yourself. You have been warned. read more

I was looking for a place to get my second holes pierced and found Inkiadore online! When I walked in I was immediately greeted by a friendly face and she asked what I came in for. She prepared the piercing stuff for me while I signed in and filled out a waiver on their iPad. I was taken into a semi private room. She marked my ears and let me confirm that I liked placement/spacing. She also asked me if I wanted a warning before she pricked each ear or if she should just go for it. Which I appreciated. The piercings were done with a needle (no gun) like I prefer. It was the normal level of pain you'd expect. The staff was professional and nice and the shop also had good music which is always a plus. Would definitely return for any future piercings! read more

I should've written this review much earlier, but I thought I was gonna come back much sooner for a tattoo. My schedule hasn't permitted me the time to come back as yet, but I'm looking forward to coming back for my birthday tattoo so I can update this then if necessary :) I was at the movies, and literally just looked up where I could get piercings and this was the first place on the list. It's literally right up the street from the mall, just walk toward Brandon Ave. It helped that it was a minority woman owned business and everyone who works there except for Jaden were women as well. Chill vibes as soon as you walk through the door. The decor is so eclectic and the place has a really vibrant and bold personality. I was greeted by Rina who also did my septum piercing which was around $60-65 which is on par for those piercings at the moment. You can set the appointment online as well and just pay a holding fee which is about half of whatever you're getting. (At least as far as the piercings go, the tattoo consultation is free.) Anyway, I sat at a bar chair right in front of the desk and filled out my information on the iPad provided. It got busy right after I came in, but Rina was really attentive and balanced helping everyone out along with Jaden. She went back to prep the area (saw her spray and wipe down the chair), and she gave me some advice for prepping for the pain before bringing me back. The process was pretty quick, produced a lot of tears because of the nerves that were pinched, and included a lot of great tips from Rina and Jaden on how to take care of my new piercing and how to hide it, if necessary. You don't pay until afterwards. I've had my piercing probably well over a month, and have had no issues. I'll be back for my next tat, so I definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

EDIT: The owner messaged me the same day I posted this review. Although there was no solution offered, I have increased my rating for reaching out to me. My review is for the piercer and my jewelry exchange... attempt. I normally go to a shop about a 30 minute drive from me. Because this place had pretty good reviews and was only about 10 minutes from me, I decided to take a chance. After all, I wasn't getting new work done, just a couple of jewelry changes. I began to make an appointment online and decided to call first to make sure they could do what I wanted done. The guy on the phone said yes. My only disappointment at that time was that they only have surgical steel pieces and not titanium. He said I didn't even need to make an appointment, I could just walk in. Cool, be there in a few. I get to the shop and I was greeted by someone who was in the middle of a phone call. She told me the piercer was grabbing lunch and would be back in 5 minutes. 15-20 minutes later she's back. She takes me to the piercing room and tells me to lay down and says, "It should be clean." Um, what? So, I lay down and she asks if a diamond top is okay to replace the jewelry in my conch. I look at the jewelry and ask if they If they have anything other than silver. No. Now, I have 6 gold pieces in my ears currently. So maybe she should have said they have a VERY VERY limited selection of jewelry. She told me they could order gold. I was assuming she meant she could order something for me in gold. No, no. She meant that the shop places mass orders with very little gold. She told me I could buy the jewelry I want and bring it in for them to place. So, I left. She also kept calling me "hun" which was very off putting considering I am probably many years older than her. What a waste of an hour. Please go somewhere else. read more

Please please please go somewhere else to pierced before coming here. They made my nose piercing bleed so bad and damaged my new jewelry because they didn't know how to put it correctly and then was going to let me leave bloody. I had to ask for a swab to clean it myself and walked out crying. read more

TLDR: This place was amazing for piercing my 6.5 year old daughters ears. Brisa who works here is an amazing piercer, professional, kind and gentle! HIGHLY recommend for any piercing. Cannot review for tattoos but considering the quality of the piercing I have a feeling their tattoo artists are equally wonderful. If I could give this place a 10/10 I would! Read below for the whole experience! I took my daughter to get her ears pierced today. She has been begging me to get them pierced for two years and I decided to let her get them pierced before school starts in a couple of weeks. We chose this place on a recommendation from a friend who took her 10 year old here for ear piercing. When we arrived the place was packed. Several people were waiting in the lobby but everyone was being mindful of social distancing and wearing masks. The lobby is clean and inviting, I think they even sell coffee. Yes like any tattoo place; there are some interesting items on the wall/funny sayings and adult language, but nothing my kids have not heard me say already! we waited a bit and then we were greeted by the Brisa who was also the piercer. She was the only one working and she specializes in piercing. She got us checked in and apologized that there would be a wait as it was pretty busy! Despite how busy it was and working both the front desk and doing piercings she was friendly and patient. You can tell she loves her job! We waited for a little over an hour but it was absolutely worth the wait! I wish I could remember her name and will update when I call to ask tomorrow, she was professional, patient and friendly, she put my daughter at ease and explained everything that she was doing. She was so kind and gentle. She also marked the place where they would go and measured each side to ensure they were perfectly centered and even. My daughter didn't even cry for either piercing. I expected some tears and some hesitation when the process needed to be repeated on the next ear but she was fine, no tears! I was shocked This is the same child who the day before had to be held down to have her finger pricked to get some lab work done at her pediatricians office. I was skeptical that she was going to go through with getting her ears pierced today but she did it and I think a large part of the reason was Brisa!

I had a great experience at Inkiadore! It was my first tattoo so I was a bit nervous. I had a tattoo in mind but wanted to personalize it a bit more. They were able to help me do that and the tattoo is actually better than I imagined! I will definitely go back to them again. read more

Inkiadore - Sea turtle tribal tattoo - Piercing Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

I had a good experience getting pierced here, the lady who pierced me was very kind. However, there was a very limited amount of jewelry you could choose to get pierced with (very few gold options), and I did have some trouble with the piercings after. I took care of them like I normally do, but the jewelry for my forward helix was not big enough to accommodate swelling and the jewelry started to sink into my ear. Additionally, the curved barbell used to pierce my daith was not a horseshoe or hoop so the barbell was a little longer than I would have liked and was a bit uncomfortable, I ended up having to change it myself. those were the only two problems I had, but the people there were very kind and i'm sure if i'd asked them to change my jewelry out for me they could have, I just wanted to get it done quickly so I did it myself. read more

Fantastic! My piercer Jaden was so careful, kind, and gentle for my 4th ear piercing. He did not rush me and was meticulous in his piercing placement prep. The shop is immaculate with a cool interior decoration. Jaden sanitized so well that I felt safe. Note: the owner of the shop is beautiful, creative, and obviously successful so any negative reviews on here are personal attacks due to jealousy imo. She was a doll! read more

I got a super uneven tattoo from Matt - he didn't disclose to me that he was an apprentice before he started tattooing me and the tattoo didn't end up looking like the picture I showed him (was supposed to be symmetrical, and ended up being extremely asymmetrical). I ended up going to another studio to fix it after leaving 2 unanswered voicemails to follow up. I would have appreciated clear disclosure that I'd be tattooed by a very new apprentice and would have asked for more supervision from a more experienced tattoo artist throughout the process. read more

They have apparently produced some nice tattoos and the ambiance is inviting, but they are totally disorganized and the owner's people skills could use some improvement. I sent artwork back a few times requesting the same minor changes I had requested multiple times previously-it seems like they were just keep ignoring the changes (and there weren't many) they didn't feel like making. I spoke with them last night after hearing they might want to push the appointment out because of the artwork not being ready. I was told they would make the requested changes. They submitted changed to me, I immediately responded with a thanks and reminder they hadn't considered all the changes I requested, and I didn't hear back. Now, the first sketch was sent to me 4 days ago, and They didn't address the changes until yesterday... and still they didn't address all of the minor changes. So, I showed up to my appointment only to have the artist decide she didn't feel comfortable doing the tattoo because she didn't draw it. Come to find out it was literally cut and pasted from the internet by a summer employee, who started arguing with me about my requested changes-now I understand it's because she couldn't find the exact changes I wanted on the internet for her to paste from them. If the artist wasn't comfortable doing a tattoo she didn't draw, then why didn't she draw it??? I'm sure they are a great place to go for more simple artwork. You know, I really would have appreciated an "I'm sorry" for the artwork not being ready and me taking off work for nothing. Had that happened, I might not even be writing this. Instead, it was made to seem like I was to blame...for what, I'm not sure. In any case, they gave me my deposit back with no problem after the tattoo artist demonstrated she couldn't draw the tattoo on the tablet. This certainly was not the experience I expected with my first tattoo..but I feel lucky in a way-if the artist can't put together the sketch, I question her ability to do the tattoo..,better to find out before it's permanently on my back! read more

A beautiful space with a really luxurious & relaxing vibe. Meggie chit chatted with us while we wait our turn for new piercings. The piercer was very nice & accommodating when my niece got a little light headed after her piercing. She took the time to position & reposition my new piercing, to help achieve the look I was hoping for. We had a great time & look forward to our next experience there. read more

Set up a consultation online and came in to see Natasha. Told her what I wanted for my first tat and we set up the appointment for the next day. She actually had to push the appointment a couple hours back and told me the night before so I appreciate her letting me know. The day of the appointment I was pretty anxious as it was my first time getting ink and it was on my ribs too! It hurt, I ain't gonna lie but it's pretty bearable. And thanks to the other staff there that made getting tatted fun. They were cracking jokes during it which helped my nerves ha! Hopefully will return soon once I decide my next piece! read more
