Interpretation of Custom Indigenous Ledger Art Piece.
Damion K.

Ray is the best Tattoo Artist in the DMV. Undisputed. Would highly recommend him for any and all tattoo work! He doesn't just trace a design on, he knows how intimate and personal tattoos are to the individual. He takes the time to known and understand different cultures, ethnic and the meanings of their art. I definitely plan on going back very soon!

Talented artists, solid music playlists, and overall a reasonable price for a quality tat.

I completed three long sessions with Ray, and I hope to stay in touch with him long term for future artwork.

I got my nose and helix pierced by Kira on Sunday! She did such a great job and did it super fast…read moreand helped me stay calm. She made feel comfortable and was so sweet. I would recommend Kira for any piercings. Can't wait to come back for Kira!!

I went here a couple months back to take my niece to get a piercing, and she went back on her own a…read morefew weeks ago to get her nose pierced. I got my nose pierced a few years ago but have had trouble with it because I had the helix ring which as come out for one reason or another and I haven't always been able to get it back in. Several people have suggested getting a flat back ring instead and I was happy to find out the Red Octopus offers those so I went by on 5/1 to get my nose repierced for like the third time now lol. I was greeted upon entering at the front desk and I explained that I wanted to be sure they had the ring I needed and the issues I was having, they confirmed they had it then showed me the jewelry options. I picked the size ring I wanted and filled out my paperwork and paid and I was taken back right away. I had some scar tissue as I've been repierced before so she moved the spot slightly, explained what she was doing and got to it. It was very quick and painless. The shop is clean and open. My piercer, Ray was very sweet, professional, knowledgable and quick. I don't know if I spent a full 20 minutes in there from start to finish and I wasn't rushed at all. I was really missing my nose piercing and am so happy to have it back, with a more secure ring and at a size I love. Highly recommend Red Octopus for your piercing needs and definitely suggest asking for Ray.
