I recently was in Orange Beach and I wanted to top off my vacation with my first tattoo! Well after a couple of places let me down Next Level Tattoo didn't. Got it in just a matter of 2 hours which felt like 30 minutes. Tim helped me ease into the first bite, which was nothing but my mind psyching me out, and being very humble and professional. His line work was very good. Instead of most artists that take it slow to where it looks a little off. He was definitely pure proof of his 13 years of experience without a doubt. I would drive another 3 hours just to have him do some more work. 100% recommended. read more

Beautiful until I realized on my way back to Kentucky that familia was spelled wrong. Left a $50 tip and didn't check where I was in a rush and the guy seemed to know what he was doing. I guess it was my fault for not being more cautious for my first tattoo. read more

Tried to charge me 300 for a small thigh tattoo, one of the artists seemed rude and not willing to help, even tho that's their job.. just weird read more

If I could give this no stars, I would. On vacation with a group of college age kids that all wanted to get tattoos or piercings. Found this place and saw that it had mostly good reviews so we decided to go here. Got 2 tattoos and 1 piercing. On the second tattoo the guy who I'm pretty sure is the owner messed up the words in the tattoo and tried to fix it which ended up making it look worse. He never said anything to us about messing up, hoping no one would notice I guess. Then when we did notice, he proceeded to sit there with his back to us like he couldn't hear what was going on. Had to get a parent involved in order to make him do anything. His excuse was that she "flinched". Apparently flinching causes someone to forget how to spell. Gave us a $50 discount on a tattoo that was already priced way too high. I get that we were in a tourist area and the prices would be higher, but I feel like it was still unfairly priced due to the customer being younger. Save yourself the pain, and don't go here for your vacation tattoo. CA read more

My wife and I visited the shop on a recent vacation to gulf shores. Tattoo Tony and Ben did an excellent job. Very professional and personable and did some amazing artwork. Highly recommend! read more

Listen. This was a surreal experience for me. Next Level is the epitome of finer tattoo work! Tim is actually an angel sent from above--I am not unconvinced it wasn't love at first sight. The kinesthetic and dexterous ability of the artists at Next Level is so beautiful I could cry. 10/10 recommend. I am emotionally attached to them now. read more

Myself and my 2 daughters decided to get matching tattoos while on vacation in Gulf Shores. After finding Next Level and discussing via Facebook messenger what were wanting, we visited on 04/08/2021 for our ink. Our tattoo artist had a picture waiting of what we all wanted and asked the area we wanted it. 2 of us got it on the wrist in the same area, and my other daughter elected to get it on her foot. Our artist never gave advice or suggestions on our locations, nor were aftercare instructions given. When filling out the questionnaire before receiving our ink, we checked the box NO that we had not received these instructions as well. When the lady checked us out, she told our artist to give us a pack of A&D ointment to use, but that was all. No big deal, we received our ink and it looked wonderful, AT FIRST! in about a week, after arriving home from our vacation, which is 8 hrs away from Gulf Shores, I contacted them once again through FB messenger bc my 2 daughters tattoos seemed to be fading drastically, however mine still looked good and dark. They told me that we were still healing so to give it a little more time, but to stop using the A&D ointment bc we were only suppose to use that for 3 days after, well that would've been nice to know when were to supposed to have received our aftercare instructions! So I let another few weeks pass and my daughters tattoos now look horrible. The one on the foot is barely even there, so I contacted them again through FB messenger and asked for a refund. I was told no refunds would be given but I could drive 8 hrs back down to their business (16 hrs round trip), and they would retrace it. I asked to speak with the shop owner about this, and was told that person was the shop owner and that he would not do anything about this, he was sorry that I wasn't happy with my service. I explained that a tattoo should be permanent and not fade almost completely away in 2-3 weeks, he could've cared less. So I have now not only wasted $140.00 ($60.00 for each tattoo and $20.00 tip) but now I have to pay again to have it retraced. BEWARE!!! read more

I had the worst experience couldn't even get a simple tattoo because he was trying to argue about the price and how long it would take for an entire hour , walked out this was literally the worst dude I've encountered at a shop before read more

Great shop! We came in one day and they were honest in telling us we were going to have a long wait due to other customers, so we came back another day and did not regret it! Every one we talked to was very nice. Got an awesome tattoo for a good price and they really worked with us to understand what we wanted! Randy did great work read more

Next Level Tattoo and Piercings - Took a little under an hour. - Piercing Near Me - Foley, Alabama

Glad I decided to get some work done while on vacation! Ben did a piece for me and knocked it out of the ballpark! It sucks that I live 6 hours away, but now I have en excuse to visit the gulf more. This is by far my best piece on me! Ben is an amazing artist that can literally pull ideas from his... you know. Not only did I get some great work done, but Ben literally kept me entertained for hours! No kidding, I laughed nearly the entire time! Ben is also full of useless and useful knowledge, so not only did I get work done but... I got entertained and educated. Lol! I swear, this was the highlight of my trip! Thanks Ben, I hope to be back soon! read more

Next Level Tattoo and Piercings - Don't get these confused with a scythe carried by the grim reaper. For you non medical folks, these are laryngoscopes! Great job Ben! - Piercing Near Me - Foley, Alabama

I went in tonight with an idea of a tattoo and my artist did not want to work with me on it and went ahead and did his own idea. Proceeded to argue with me the whole session about every detail meanwhile I knew he was just doing his own thing. I went in with a small simple idea of a wave and I have a giant color wave on me now. Then he proceeded to charge me more than the beginning quoted amount (because now it's a whole different tattoo) overall it was a bad experience read more

I wanted a tattoo in remembrance of my father. I went to Randy with an idea in mind and he took it and created a beautiful work of art that I will cherish forever. He was polite and patient. He was very helpful during the process of creating my piece. He was focused on me the entire time and worked efficiently, but quickly. He made sure I was 100% satisfied with the results before I left. I will definitely be going back to see him for future pieces and to rejuvenate some of my older work. I highly recommend this business. read more

Next Level Tattoo and Piercings - Ben did these for us!!! Amazing work! Exactly what we wanted! - Piercing Near Me - Foley, Alabama

This place is incredible, we went to a few other shops in town to compare prices and things. Ben and the owner (can't remember his name) were awesome, really cool guys, and amazing artists. Came two separate days with pretty good size groups and they fit us all in. Prices were cheaper than the other shops in town and the artists were a lot nicer, I felt like they actually wanted to tattoo us unlike a couple other shops we felt like more of a burden. Overall this place is a 11/10, I hope to come back to the area soon to get more work done here read more

Danny did a very good job on my husband's ring tattoo. However made an appointment for the next day for a cover up tattoo and he didn't show up... Great artist but commitment not there. 5 stars for artistry but 2 on a professional level. Had to go to Precision Ink up the street. read more

Sweet Little shop tucked back a few shops. Grams first tattoo so she was on pens & needles. Cool guys, Comforting shop. Enjoyed my time here listening to classic & fun jams,Kudos Ben lee. read more

I got a tattoo here a few weeks ago, and it was definitely not a disappointment. My tattoo looks exactly how I wanted; Ben did a fantastic job transforming the picture I wanted into a beautiful piece of body art! I searched online forever trying to find the perfect place, and I am 100% sure I made the correct decision. The place is clean and inviting, and the people are extremely friendly (with a dash good ole sarcasm) and extremely talented. If you are looking for a spectacular tattoo, look no further. Their work speaks for itself, check them out!! read more

Great experience for my first tattoo. Randy listened to what I wanted spent, spent some time on the art, honed out my suggestions and went to work. Turned out awesome. Was very helpful on what to expect over the next 4-14 days and have good instructions on care and maintenance. read more

Ben was very helpful, and gave the idea I suggested a unique twist, it was my first tattoo, and Ben helped me from being as nervous as I would have been by cracking jokes. Highly recommend read more

I had a terrible experience at this place. I wanted to have the same tattoo artist that I got my first tattoo with. I wanted to extend my roses to a mid sleeve and I also wanted to get a heart and a saying under my boob. The tattoo artist(forgot his name) had just came back from his day off or vacation and one of the coworkers ask him a question and his response was "It was great...spent most the time fucking." The first tattoo that he started on was my under boob tattoo. The only privacy that was provided was a curtain that goes into his room and a closed door that goes into another tattoo artist room. Sadly I could only go through with the heart part of my underboob tattoo(it really hurt). After I had all the stuff like tape and plastic wrap I had put on my sport bra(no I wasn't offered a towel or something to tape over my nipples/boob area). Two guys just walk in the room. I could've been half way naked and they just could've walked in. That was a great thing right¿? I told my artist that I had wanted to extend my sleeve of roses and that I just wanted roses. He adds calligraphy and does rose buds. I tell him I just want the exact roses from my first tattoo. I try to tell him agn what I wanted and that I didn't want rose buds or calligraphy added. He looks at me and says "what the fuck are you talking about?" He called my tattoo tacky and clip art. And tells me and makes sure I know he's been an artist for 20 years. Worst experience. read more

I went here while I was on vacation, so I didn't have an appt and didn't know the artists. When I walked in, they were happy to take me, I told the artist, John Riendeau, what I wanted, he sketched it, and we began! The tattoo is beautiful, everyone was super nice, and I will go back there next year and get another tattoo from John if he is still there! I had gone to Precision Ink originally, but they pretty much told me they didn't have time for me, and readily let me leave the place and didn't seem to be too sad to see me go. They offered to have me come back later, or tomorrow, but I was leaving town the next day. What a shame...glad John got my money and my business instead! read more

Ben, was highly recommended to me so I went to see him. Got there and he was very welcoming. Told him what I wanted him to design and he came up with an idea right away in his head. Told me give me two days and stop back. went back at opening and sat there for almost an hour, they open at 1, i got there at 12:45 and some other guy showed up at 1:40. was sitting there and never asked if i was waiting since his ass was late- shouted out to him asking if Ben was coming in today, He replied, i dunno, he sometimes takes mondays off and walked in the door and that was it. That's great business. I wasn't upset that they were late-i was upset they couldn't give a shit and never got a call from Ben either cause he did have my number.. after TWO tattoo places that have horrible customer service issues, It was a blessing in disguise cause I then found Precision Ink.. THANK YOU FOR BEING A REAL BUSINESS read more

Randy was great his recommendations were spot on. It was my 62 yr old friends first tat and we are both very pleased. Price was spot on as well read more

Honestly I'm not sure how their tattoos are here but one of the guy's customer service needs a little work. My group just had a few questions and he was very rude to us and wanted nothing to do with us really. Needless to say we ended up leaving and going to Davids Gallery and was one of the best experiences we have ever had!!! read more

Clean, friendly shop with talented artists! After being treated very rudely by another shop on the same street, it was nice to feel like I was a valued customer! read more
