MJ is a top notch tattoo artist who pays attention to the details. He's super clean - he's…read moreconstantly wiping things down, using only brand new items etc. He also works quickly and accurately - always getting just the right depth without creating scar tissue like so many lesser tattoo artists do. He repaired a very scarred tattoo and also has now done two others for me. My wife loves his work. He's also an incredible artist and can create work in pretty much any style - I had him do Australian Aboriginal style in color (an homage to them), and it's excellent. His book of work has some truly incredible art. From what I see, he's likely the best tattoo artist in Raleigh, and a decent bloke as well. If you want a tattoo done right, this is your guy.

Felt very welcoming and no odd or bad vibes at all, the piercer was very laid back but made sure I was comfortable. It's been at least a month, piercing has not gotten infected or anything. !

This is an okay piercing place.. The piercers are okay also- I have nothing outwardly bad to say…read moreabout them. The things that I did not enjoy; they are extremely understaffed, wait times were long. The piercer put the wrong length of studs in my ear- they were too long and prevented the piercing from healing correctly. Same happened with my mom- the stud was WAY too long. We went back, explained the situation. They charged us $60 for just 4 measly new studs- extremely overpriced, as they presumably buy these in bulk. The original lobe piercings + jewelry ranged from 80-100$. When we got the new studs, we left (after waiting for a very long time just to buy the studs, not even to get pierced this time!) ... in the car I realized that he had given us the wrong TYPE of studs (pop-in studs but we needed screw-in studs). So we had to turn back around and wait AGAIN for replacements. We explained in detail what had happened and what we wanted (studs that fit appropriately) so he took us to the back and replaced them for us - then during this he realized in fact that I was not crazy and that he did sell us the wrong studs. Again, It felt rushed since he was the only piercer on a busy Saturday. We left, and shortly after I realized that my new studs were EXTREMELY tight and short- I had said multiple times that I simply wanted identical length studs as my first holes. My mom ended up with studs that are still way too LONG. The purpose of wanting these particular flat-back earrings is so it will be comfortable to sleep in- and after the multiple times we tried to explain the situation in detail, the new studs are still not comfortable or what we asked for. We avoided going back for a THIRD time, though, since we didn't want to wait and have to try and explain it to him all over again. So after all of that, we still are not very happy and my tight earrings are struggling to heal, just as they were with the long studs. I want to emphasize that the piercer was extremely FRIENDLY however, I am not quite sure why he didn't understand the simple request that we had of replacing the absurdly long original studs. I might be back one day as a last resort, but not any time soon.

He told me he's doing a tattoo but will pierce really quick bc nose piercing takes only a couple minutes. I got there about half hour later and he let me in. I felt very comfortable and was ready.

I recommend him to everyone!! Very personable, funny, fun to be around, cool guy. Found my new place!' I'd give him 10 stars if I could!! Go to Styles Ink. You won't regret it!!!

Went here with my partner, we wanted matching tattoos '831' on our hands. I have MUTLIPLE hand…read moretattoos, I have friends that have their own shops back in the 757. NEVER have I ever had a tattoo IN MY LIFE that didn't stick. By day 2 it wasnt even dark. I reached out to Shaun 4 days later explaining it didn't stay and got no reply. After $120 for a tattoo that was 3 numbers and speaking to other artists that I am close with, they informed me he didn't stick me hard enough. Basically just a scratch at this point. I'm extremely disappointed with the quality, the communication as a whole, just is not worth the time or money. I've attached my partners and my tattoo. The vibe was great, everyone in shop was genuinely great but this just wasn't a good experience.
