No infection and it was a clean and almost "her words" painless process. I would recommend this place because it was very clean and very professional. I saw some of the skin art being done and I have to say that I will be getting my next tat there. Prices are fair and the artistes there are really above what I expected. Don't think I will be going anywhere else. I am set to take my other daughter there soon to do the same thing. Trust me when I say that the woman in charge of the piercings is very professional and kind and very thoughtful of her customers. And she will go above and beyond your expectations. Go see them! You will not be disappointed.

I'm absolutely in love with Ghost Studios and if it weren't for Joey moving to this location, I…read morewould have never known how many amazing artists there are in Charlotte (besides my tattoo artist, of course). Ghost is easy to find and is accessible by stairs or elevator. The parking is limited but if you have an early appointment, you'll find parking just fine. The studio is exceptionally clean and the artists thoroughly sanitize throughout and in between sessions, I never once questioned their sanitation. Check-in is a breeze and very welcoming. Every artist that came by was very friendly and chill. I really loved how humble everyone was even with the insane talent they all had. So many tattoo shops can be prideful without the skill to show for it so this was a breath of fresh air. I am personally working with Joey on a sleeve and couldn't be happier with my choice on the artist. He is professional and extremely detailed. It also helps that we vibe making the tattoo sessions easy and fun. I did two back to back sessions that totaled 19 hours and I never felt like tapping out. I have about 8 sessions total and 2 of them are nearly healed. I am absolutely in love with what I have so far and can't wait for the next 4 sessions in August! (Will update photos when complete).

Hector was awesome to work with! He listened, got my vision, and was efficient in making it happen.read more

I am thankful for the entire experience I had getting my first tattoo. April provided me with education regarding the tattoo choice, set up of the station, mantiaining a sterile environment, to the process of tattooing. From the moment I walked into the prestine tattoo parlor, I felt a welcoming vibe. April continued to guide me from beginning to end. April shared videos and real life examples of the different stages of the healing process. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The type of art they do is top notch and detailed. You will be matched with an artist that fits your needs and get quality service from start to finish. An additional plus is that they will be available for questions after the work is done.
