Design of a Filipino christmas star light tattoo

Love my new 2nd tattoo :) Done by Indy & had a welcoming experience - offered up to take breaks while I got it done but he knocked the piece out real quick. Filled with down to earth people so highly recommend if that's what you're looking for!

Unbroken Tattoo in Reston, VA, makes old tattoos look fabulous again. Painless J, their leading artist, is really good at redoing tattoos. He made a 20+ year-old Navy tattoo look fresh and beautiful. To say I'm a happy customer is a big understatement. Painless J has been doing tattoos for over 25 years. He took the old design and made it look bright and new. Laura, who manages the studio, made it easy to book an appointment and talked clearly about what I wanted. Thank you!

It's a "W" for "Widow, Warrior, Witch" in a custom designed gothic-nouveau style.

I was looking for an excuse to try out our new (and only) local tattoo studio in Reston and decided to start small with an addition to my memorial sleeve. I was extremely pleased with the entire process. Seamless booking with Laura. She responded quickly to the online booking form and set me up with an appointment the very next week. My artist, Shaun, did an excellent job of taking my inspiration screenshots and turning them into an original design that was cohesive with the rest of my art and he took the time to get the proportions perfect. I'm super pleased and will definitely be returning.

I will be going to back to Painless J and Unbroken for all future work. His ability to turn my photo into art ony forearm was breathtaking. It's been 24 hours and have already had 3 people approach to compliment and 1 ask where I got it. I can't recommend them enough, from the vibe to the expertise. Top notch all around.

Special and significant. All of my desires were met with this, so happy.

I received multiple recommendations to this business for my first tattoo and I am so happy I…read morefollowed the recs! Maddy was FANTASTIC. She is super personable to talk to - that my session went by pretty quickly - and so skilled at what she does. I sent over two inspo pictures and she got the design just right with the font, spacing and even delicateness of the letters! I absolutely love it. I normally get skin hives from environmental stressors but my tattoo was only slightly red immediately after and not hiving at all in the recovery. It is healing really well, too. The business itself is also very welcoming and bright. I cannot recommend this business and Maddy enough!

5 stars to Rachel for being so accommodating and professional and 10 flipping stars out of 5 for…read moreputting up with my child. I came to Wicked Goddess after my 9 year old daughter told me she was ready to get her ears pierced. alright, easy enough. I knew I wasn't going to take her to Claire's & I was worried about piercing her ears while they would still be growing. in comes Rachel, who came highly recommend on the Google and reddit. I booked the appointment for the end of November for Rachel since I figured this would give my daughter enough time to back out if she changed her mind. she did not. so the day after Thanksgiving, we went over to Mosaic to get her ears pierced. they let her pick out her earrings first and were so great. they let her hold the earrings up to her ear to give her a visual and gave her plenty of time to pick. Rachel sanitized everything and took her into the piercing room once she was ready. Rachel marked her ears a little higher up so when she grows, it'll be more centered as she got older. then came the first piercing, which my sensitive soul daughter took very personally. she refused to get her second ear pierced claiming she couldn't go through with it. with Rachel, my SIL, my husband and I trying to provide positive encouragement to continue on. Rachel ended up giving her the option to go grab some lunch to relax after the first piercing and to come back after. after our ramen lunch, we went back to get her second piercing. obviously it wasn't an easy task getting her to go through with it. I ended up having her sit down on my lap with Katseye playing just so Rachel could finish it. so to the amazing Rachel (who just came back from maternity leave!!), thank you! my daughter loves her piercings now and can't/won't stop looking at them. Rachel honestly has the patience of a saint even after my kid screamed bloody murder in her piercing room. if you're looking for a fantastic piercer for your child, I'd go to Rachel. she's a mother herself and understands children. she's soft spoken and really strives to make sure your child is comfortable and ready. not related, but there's free parking in the garage across the street. don't be an idiot like me who paid for parking in front.

I got a helix piercing on both ears as redo from a previously botched job. I'm really happy to have…read morefound them because they actually educated me on piercing care, proper piercing process, etc. it was taking my piercings so long to heal, and I found out that they were pierced at an angle and weren't really going to heal. So I had to let them heal before I could get it done right. I had mostly had Jen do the piercings and the downsizing when it came time. She always gave feedback and was very patient with my questions as well. Tobias was the last person I saw for what was supposed to be a last downsize before I'm set until they heal, but they recommended I stick with the current post. So I actually didn't have to have anything else done. Now, I'm just waiting for my helixes to heal! Here are some more information that may help you determine if Brilliance Piercing is the studio for your piercing needs: they require appointments for any type of service (no drop-ins/walk-ins); they only work with jewelry they have for sale (I believe this is to ensure that the quality of the jewelry is top-notch and they know exactly the metal content - optimal healing conditions); when you have an appointment, you can't bring anyone with you; their jewelry are quite pricey, but not much more than other studios around. Their team is always upbeat, friendly, patient and knowledgeable: they will answer any question you may have and also always ensure you are aware of anything important regarding your piercing after care, etc. They have a wide selection of jewelry appropriate for whatever piercing you're getting! I'm happy with my experience and will come back for more piercings when I'm ready! I trust their professional opinions and also feel comfortable with the quality of their services. Definitely recommend.

It was a completely different experience! I was in the other shop for 5 minutes and this one took the whole hour! Everything was explained in depth, the tools/earring were sanitized while I was there, and care was taken with each step! I would highly recommend Tobias to anyone and will be going back if I decide to get the other side repierced in the future! They also have an amazing selection of jewelry!
