This shop is amazing no matter who you go to you will leave with art on you! They are all so kind and it's a very clean and well organized shop! 100% recommend coming here. I for one will go nowhere else read more

James was amazing! I got my boyfriends name tattooed on me and from the moment I walked in the door to the moment I got up from the bed I felt comfortable and relaxed. He was cool and talked and we all had a great time while it was getting done. read more

I have been going here for a little over a year. I am working on a sleeve and love both the shop and the artist!! If you want a quality tattoo for a great price this is the shop. Not to mention they text reminders and I feel safe with how clean the shop is and their covid safety checks. read more

Friendly staff. Super clean. Working on a custom sleeve with Danny Cardona and it looks killer. Highly recommend!

Mark was amazing! Far exceeded my expectations and I couldn't be happier! Great atmosphere and the artists are all honest and amazing. If the artist you're talking to thinks a different artist would be better they'll honestly tell you who would work best for the project. Definitely recommend this place! read more

I've spent many, MANY hours at Studio Evolve being tattooed by Gabe. I never came in with anything other than a vague idea of what I was looking for and he always conjured up something better than I could have imagined. All the artists are incredible, each with their own, unique style, and the staff is super friendly.. Nope, I won't be going anywhere else. And neither should you! read more

Great vibe seems to be very clean and professional. I really like the artwork around and the open space. Flacko was really friendly and chill. I felt very relaxed and comfortable throughout the entire process. read more

The shop was nice but I left feeling disrespected . My tattoo artist James was helpful in making my idea come together BUT he had no respect for my time whatsoever . I arrived around 1:30 (he wasn't tattooing anyone else) and by 3:00 I finally left because he still didn't start mine : It took him all of 7 mins to help me make my mind up and the rest of the time i spent just sitting around waiting and waiting for what i still don't know. . I know I'm impatient so maybe its my fault for not waiting around some more to get it but my time is valuable just like his. If ima pay 150/hr I expect quality service or at least a heads up "like hey I'm busy right now can you wait for an hour or come back " let me decide if I wanna Waste my free time before work . read more

Sierra is experienced and very talented! Studio Evolve is a clean and safe tattoo business with professional artists and laid back environment. My husband and I will be returning as often as possible! read more

Fantastic shop! Don't let the long wait for a appointment scare you off because it's worth the wait. Very nice looking clean shop. My artist was Marshall and he did a amazing job, super clean and detailed work and very light touch. If you're in the market for some fantastic ink you're proud to show off this is the place to go. read more

My tattoo artist Marshall was awesome from start to finish. I came for my first tattoo and it was a large piece for starters, but he gave me the confidence to get'er done. A straight 6 hours a bit sore but it was a great experience and very grateful for the journey. I never thought I'd be saying this but already looking forward to my next tattoo this summer. read more

I jumped around from place to place until I came across Studio Evolve. A variety of talented artist who will design and perform the perfect tattoo for you. Wonderful and clean location. With over 18 tattoo's this has been by far my favorite tattoo shop. read more

Always a pleasure coming here. Front desk is always very nice, professional and helpful. Gonzo is an amazing artist and I would recommend him to anybody! I keep coming back time and time again! Great merch in the shop as well read more

I got a tattoo for my 1 year anniversary of being diagnosed with breast cancer. My tattoo artist was Colleen and she brought my vision to life with what I had in mind. I'm very happy with my tattoo and I'll definitely go back again. read more

Studio Evolve - Tattoo Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Very professional staff who are will to listen and be honest. Walked in late and they still gave the perfect tattoo

Mark made my 2nd tattoo experience a breeze! He was very flexible with his schedule and had a great attitude and personality, which made me feel very comfortable in one of the most painful moments of my life lol! I love my tattoo and the pricing wasn't bad either. Mark also gave me a great breakdown on aftercare and kept the lines of communication open in case I have any questions or concerns about my tattoo. Nice and cozy shop as well and great location, near Mt. Trashmore. read more

Definitely one of the best places in Va beach to get a tattoo! I got my first one, a big one! And I'm in total awe honestly. The best part about it, it's only the first session. Great, fun, easy to talk with people. Cool environment too, wouldn't even have guessed it's in the spot that it is! Super fun. read more

Studio Evolve - Tattoo Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I love my tattoo . The artist was very kind and gentle. He helped me figure out my size and placement of my tattoo he was very patient and understanding . I love the design of the shop . I will definitely be returning for my next tattoo read more

Walked in today to get a tattoo. I had a basic concept. I met one of the artists, Mondo, he was able to turn my concept into an amazing tattoo. He was able to sketch it up in about 30 minutes and we started off from there. Highly recommend checking out his page on the website, he does great work. read more

Very nice and clean place. Everyone is so friendly and Jamie was professional and offered ideas and best placement for my foot tattoos. Was referred here by my sis and I would definitely refer others interested in a tattoo. Also, immediately got an appointment with no hassle. read more

I met Gabe, the owner of Studio Evolve, some five years ago now. At first I thought he was the most arrogant, on his own planet pain in the ass of a tattooer I had ever met. So of course I liked him instantly. Over the years Gabe has covered both of my arms and my rib cage in his work. Frankly, he is the only artist I will let tattoo me now. He is the best tattooer I have ever come across. Gabe and his crew are worth coming to see from anywhere in the country. I currently have to fly some five hours each way to see him. I said fly, not drive. He's that good. If you're looking for ink, and you want the best, go see the crew at Studio Evolve. read more

I must say, at first I was so excited to work with Tanane Whitfield as he does some great work - but I must say I was so disappointed in his attitude and personality towards me and the design he came up with for my BACK PIECE - we talked about a design - and it was going to be placed on my back - i was in love with the design and when I came in the next day to get tattooed - none of the ideas we talked about were part of the tattoo!!! When I asked him why they werent drawn in - he said he didn't have the time! If there was no time I don't understand why adding a bonsai tree was even brought up by him! - he also texted me the night before the tattoo to ask 'HOW FAR WOULD YOU WANT TO GO WITH THIS TATTOO?' He wanted to bring this back piece down onto the back of my thighs.... Hahaha - imagine a small thigh piece of a lucky cat - being blown up to fit my entire back with little details and no real reason why it had to be SO BIG AND LAME!!! I told him my husband did not like the idea of having the tattoo down on my ass - my husband LOVES my ass and didnt think this tattoo would be flattering coming halfway down my ass - and let me tell you... It was not flattering! - my husband was all in all pissed because he didnt change the size. He put the stencil down my ass and when we talked about it - basically tanane said he couldn't make it smaller cause he would jeopardize' the design. So we ended up walking out/getting kicked out by his smart ass. The next thing i know he is blasting up instagram with some crazy talk about me being a back seat driver and bringing someone with me who was gonna cry and moan about the size and placement. How he handled the situation with me was so completely embarrassing and how he acted on instagram was absolutely disrespectful. Most of my friends are tattoo artists in other states and a good buddy of mine who recommended me to him was also pissed off and thought his comments on IG were disrespectful as well. He lost some fans for that one and some good business from me.. Then there was rumors about the reason my husband was pissed was because he was touching my ass!? Get the hell out of here, I do boudoir pin ups, my husband is a confident man. It's being disrespectful and not listening to your customers thats the problem. This place obviously loves their gossip - i wish i had a better experience. Ill stick to my other artists :))))) . read more

The studio has a really unique set up I love it ! I have been getting my half sleeve done by Danny since he was at other shops and I followed him to Studio evolve because I love his work. I would recommend this place to anyone who is considering getting a tattoo . Super fun atmosphere, great artist and cozy vibe . read more

Gabe is a super nice guy and an AMAZING tattoo artist. He is very selective about the artists who work at his shop, so if you choose someone here, you are guaranteed to get high quality work. They also have featured artists showing their pieces from the community, too, so go there to check out some fresh art! The studio is beautifully decorated, and very upscale. These artists are worth every penny! read more

The artists are very talented and dedicated to their work. The staff is so friendly and welcoming.. They made sure that I was comfortable the time I was there. And I love the way the studio looks. Its so fresssh and so cleannn cleannn. I recommend this place to anyone who is serious about getting tattooed and wants a great experience out of it. Tanane Whitfield has done 2 pieces on me so far and he is awesome. Love this place :) read more

If you don't go here you are an idiot! This was hands down my best tattoo experience ever! I got a consultation and booked an spot the same day for 2 weeks out with Nikki. They called to even remind me of my tattoo Appointment which I have never had! I went in for my first session which was only supposed to be 4 hours. Nikki had no problem continuing for as long as I could sit! Which is perfect because I know a lot of places cutt off exactly at the end of the appointment. Whether they have more clients or not. She stayed in the shop tattooing past close to make sure we got the outline done! Which to me shows great care for the customer and the tattoo. I loved that she took her time to make sure every line was Perfect! To top it off she had the lightest tattooing hand I have ever had! She is perfect! You must ask for her!!! read more

Studio Evolve has been the best tattoo studio I have been to. Everyone here is very friendly and welcoming and I have enjoyed my entire experience. I will definitely be getting all my tattoos done here and I highly recommend seeing Gonzo, he has start my side piece and it looks amazing! Can't wait to finish it and come up with more ideas with studio evolve and Gonzo! read more

Very friendly atmosphere....the location is tucked away in the back building, but it's not hard to find. The artists all had portfolios out with different work done. It was a good vibe. read more

Great service!Mondo gave me my first tattoo and it came out great! He told my his minimum was 120 and in the end he lowered it 100 and it came out just how I wanted. Super relaxed environment, and lots of different artist! Definitely would recommend read more

Val rocks! Great work done by the artists there. Good, comfortable atmosphere.

I was impressed with this studio from minute one! Tams was great on the email response and made me feel very special. I made an appointment with Marshall Sinclair and even with making some last minute changes he did everything I asked. His professionalism and attitude was a ten. I am a serious collector and I don't have time to waste . He did everything I asked for and more and was ready the second u arrived. Tattoos are serious business to me and I expect the best!! Marshall did not disappoint me!! Thanks!! read more

My tattoo artist Marshall Sinclair was just about to begin his work when the owner of Studio Evolve came in his room and yelled, "We need to talk!". He kicked out Marshall from the studio because he put in his two weeks. The owner had Marshall and I packing up Marshall's belongings in the rain. The owner has no respect for his clients or employees. Don't go here. read more

This is the best tattoo shop I've visited. Everyone is friendly and very welcoming. I would recommend this place to everyone. Andy Chambers covered up two tattoos into one and he is truly an amazing artist! read more

Nicely organized and clean studio. Staff was always helpful and Sarah was wonderful. She texted me days after just to follow-up on how I liked the tattoos and the healing progress. I would definitely recommend them. read more

This is one of the best, brightest and cleanest studios. I've been to studios here in VB and in Kansas. This was my fav. Last tattoo was by Abigail. Great work, nice people. One of the things that will make me walk out of a tattoo shop faster than anything is not the price, it's they way I'm treated. This place treats you like you want to be treated. They're friendly and interested in you. I've walked out of other studios because the staff act like asses or like you aren't worth their time. If I'm paying you hundreds to be a walking canvas and potential billboard, id hope you would smile at me or greet me as an equal..studio evolve did..My last tattoo at Studio Evolve was about 5 hours and was amazing. I can't wait for my next one. Oh and I was a walk in too! read more

I came here July of 2012, and I have to say I've been looking for any excuse to go back. The place is super clean, the atmosphere is very laid back, there's music playing while you are getting your tattoo done...it was an excellent experience. And I've been to different places in NY, Miami, and NJ. This is by far my favorite. They only do custom tattoos which is awesome. If you are looking for a place where you pick a generic tattoo from a wall, this is not it. read more

I made an appointment with 2 artists back in March 2017 for September 2017 and was booked all the way out to March of 2018 and secured my spot with a deposit. Neither artist was able to keep 3 appointments and I had to wait almost 2 weeks to get back a $300 deposit. I emailed the shop asking to speak to the owner and was never contacted. read more
