Do not come here unless you are fine with undisclosed, AI-designed tattoos. We booked with Ken, and came in for a consult. We provided numerous reference images and discussed the overall design and goal with him. We then paid a $500 deposit for him to design and draw the tattoo over the course of a month, with the rest due once we got the tattoo. We were really hopeful and encouraged based off his portfolio and the studio's overall reputation. First, we did not receive the design until 2 days before our appointment. Second, once we saw the design, it clearly involved clipart and AI. Third, the design did not match at all what we discussed in the studio. When we asked about how the design was generated, and specifically whether AI was used, Ken said no, he drew it himself. We gave him the benefit of the doubt and asked to talk about changes before coming to the studio. He said no, changes would have to be discussed and made same-day. Once we came to the studio, Ken was polite, but the disconnect only worsened. We explained the problems with the design, and gave additional reference images. He asked for some time to rework based off those reference images. 30 minutes later, he showed us a plainly AI generated, generic image that did not align with the design at all. At this point he admitted to using AI. We explained we did not want AI used to design the tattoo, and he said he would try again. 30 minutes later, he showed us a design outline. We noticed more inconsistencies that suggested it was still based off AI. We asked again whether AI was used again, and he admitted that he outlined the AI output based on a reference image we gave him. At this point we felt unheard and frustrated, and asked for a refund. He initially said no, and then ultimately conceded a partial-refund. In total, we spent $250 and 3 hours of our time to not get a human-made design, or a tattoo at all. We each have tattoos already. We appreciate and want to support artists. But this was unacceptable. If you want to know AI is not used in your tattoo, or feel confident that your design will be followed, do not go here. read more

Staff was kind and promptly answered all my questions during the inquiry process. Studio was clean, organized and bright. Plenty of available parking. My artist Tommy was incredible. We took time to go over my vision and he nailed it. He really took his time to make sure everything was perfect and I felt the outcome was equally as important to him. read more

I went in for a walk-in. There was no availability at the time I went, but Spank had an opening 12 pm, so I made that appointment. I returned to the tattoo shop by 12 pm, and there was no sign of Spank. One of the other artists called and asked for his eta and he said 15 minutes. My friend and I sat there for 45 minutes waiting for Spank. He then took an additional hour to set up and get everything ready. We didn't start getting tattooed until around 1:30pm, and even then we got extremely simply fine line tattoos. My tattoo linework is patchy and the lines were bleeding as soon as I left. I have other fine line tattoos from other artists and have never experienced anything like this. While Spank is a very nice person, the entire experience left me so unsatisfied, I don't think I'd ever want to return to him for a tattoo again. read more

Got an inner arm tattoo done on a weekday. The studio was conveniently located in Vienna in a nice clean open space right off of Maple Ave. Tommy did the ink, he's a very friendly, knowledgeable guy who really knows his craft. I'd definitely come back for another one. read more

Tommy and crew are amazing to work with as a shop. The atmosphere in the shop is fun, clean and positive. Since January of last year, I had both hands, my chest and an entire left arm sleeve done in the shop. Tommy did my hands and full sleeve while Ken did my chest. Tommy was great to work with as an artist. We discussed my vision for my arm and the meaning behind it. He did a fantastic job using my art work combined with his style to create a unique and beautiful work of art. His lines are crisp and his shading is really clean. Tommy really worked with me and always created a positive experience. Ken was also fantastic to work with on my chest piece. I gave him original art to use and he did amazing line work. Both guys were fun and laid back caring about my experience and comfort. They both also made sure the end result was what I wanted. Love the shop and rep my shop shirts with pride! read more

I booked an appointment with the owner Tommy after meeting him for a consultation. I arrived at 11 am and we cleaned the forearm for placement of the stencil. We decided to place it again a little more to the right and without hesitation Tommy agreed and actually suggested. We got it clean again and set. The first 2 hours we did some dark shading then took a break and the entire crew decided to order lunch and included me. We had Chopt a salad place local in Vienna and it was awesome! They treated me like family. It was large piece so it took about 7 hours. He took his time and was very meticulous! After all its on my arm forever now. Lol. He guided me threw the different techniques and sizes of the needles. It was pretty cool I feel like I learned some of the process. I believe they close at 6pm and he stayed till 7pm! I absolutely love it and I will be back. He is a master of his craft....bottom line is Go See Tommy Tattz you won't be disappointed! Thanks again Erik read more

I was ripped off. Lotoe spent close to 18 hours on my tattoo and I paid 5k. He took his sweet time and about 3-4 cigarette break in between ( which he charged me for ) he milked it good and I fell for it. The work wasn't even done. I called it quits , had I stayed with him, I would have paid 7-8k. I went to yo Kai tattoo who finished the work in 1 session. Lotoe only completed half of the work. Jonny at yo Kai finished the other half in 5 hours for $600 and has cleaner lines. Don't waste your time and money. Lotoe will rip you off. $200 an hour is waaay over priced in that area. Anyone that here how much I spent , can't believe it for the work I got. I was ripped off. You live and learn. My reply to the shop owner , I spent 5k total. Some was paid via Venmo and the other was cash. I kept count. I spent 4-5 hours with Lotoe per session. Out of those 4-5 hours , 1 hour was spent on his cigarette breaks. ( which he charged me for) I complained about pain once. I cancelled once and he cancelled on me once. Aside from all of that, he only finished half. Yokai tattoo finished the same amount of work in one 4 hour session. Johnny is waaay faster and didn't charge me $200.00 an hour. Of course you'll defend your shop , my issue isn't with you or the other artists. But let's face it, I was ripped off. End of story. read more

Last minute my oldest daughter (home on college Spring Break) and I decided to celebrate closing a daunting chapter in our life by getting matching tattoos. It was a Tuesday at Noon but luckily Vienna tattoo quickly responded to my email, so we headed over! It was an awesome clean area with a friendly staff, fun too. It's like we all knew each other previously. Exactly what I imagined how this moment should've gone down with my first born. Definitely going back for my next tattoo. Great work. Fair price. read more

I had a great experience with Lotoe on 6/15/22. I emailed through the website, and within a few hours, I got a detailed email saying I should text or email Lotoe. I text him, and he was quick to respond, gave an accurate estimate, and the scheduling was seamless. He had a rendering ready when I arrived but was happy to edit it and take time to make adjustments. The pricing felt more than fair-- as someone who has cheap tattoos, I can confidently say you get what you pay for. I'm sure I could have found someone to do the work cheaper but it probably wouldn't have looked as good. I'm very happy with the work and highly recommend him. read more

Aside from the excellent communication, customer service and reliability, I'll let the art speak for itself. I've seen Jesse multiple times now and each time he never ceases to amaze me. Linework is unmatched and he's always willing to help flesh out your idea and give guidance when needed. He let's you know exactly what he's doing and encourages any of his clients to come back should they need a change. The other artists are friendly and make you feel comfortable, so hurry and claim a spot asap. read more

Customer Service is there, but definitely way too over priced. Got a fish tattoo more of a koi fish tattoo and was charged $300 dollars for such a small little tattoo on my ankle, no details, and simple. Definitely wonderful people but they will definitely not see me again. That just insane to me how I was charged less for the one that had more shading than the one that was so simple, and still paid triple the amount. Get your prices checked and ask for a quote before you book a session! read more

Spank did a great job!! He was extremely professional and didn't mind changing the tattoo idea last minute. Extremely hospitable as well.

I got my tattoo done by Vanna (Spank) and I really enjoyed my experience. The studio was very clean and had a great vibe. He was very funny and helped ease the pain of the tattoo. He was also very patient with me during the placement and was wonderful with the details. I love my tattoo and would definitely come again! read more

Great work. Extremely competent and knowledgeable about tattoos and how to care for them

Tommy is awesome. I texted him about a tattoo and the very next day went in for a consultation and then scheduled my tattoo appointment for a couple weeks later. He worked with me to make a custom piece that I love. The detail he put into my tattoo was amazing. Will definitely be going back to him for my next tattoo. read more

I got my first tattoo done by Tommy here a couple of weeks ago. He meticulously took his time to design my tattoo using elements chosen by me and made suggestions on the best way to structure them into one piece. It came out better than I could've expected. He thoroughly explained how to best treat my tattoo while in healing for best results. I would recommend this tattoo shop if you're in search of one. Tommy and his wife were very accommodating and down to Earth. I'll surely be coming back to these guys for my next one. read more

Phenomenal artists! Lotoe created a design far better than what I could have envisioned. I felt safe and excited to get the tattoo. The studio is so clean and safe-oriented. Any fear I could have had from getting a tattoo weren't relevant. I am so thankful for their skill and service! read more

Tommy is spectacular! I went to him in December 2018 for a touch-up on a tattoo I got at a different studio (in Chicago) back in March 2017. The original had scabbed and healed poorly due to the Chicagoan artist's mishandling. I'd been wanting it fixed for awhile, but was apprehensive that I'd have the same problem again. When I called Vienna Tattoo Studio, Tommy asked for photos, then called me personally to offer his very kind, professional advice on whether it was a good idea to do a touch-up. I ended up going to the studio the next day and getting the tattoo redone with Tommy. He was, again, kind and professional, and afterwards, let me know that he was available via text in case I had questions. Three weeks later, my tattoo has healed beautifully, and I am so relieved and happy -- all thanks to Tommy. Both a wonderful artist & individual. Highly recommend. read more

I got a cover-up tattoo done by Tommy and absolutely love it! I had an idea of what I wanted and he modified the design and placement so it perfectly covered up my old tattoo. I actually reached out to a few different artists at other tattoo shops, but Tommy was the only artist who was able to work on the cover-up with the design I wanted. This definitely shows how experienced and skilled he is. He's also very friendly and made the process very comfortable. The tattoo turned out beautiful and I've gotten so many compliments on it. Scheduling was also very easy and the shop has a great environment! 10/10 experience, highly recommend!! read more

Amazing work by Lotoe. Sent him a single image of a portrait style photo that I found online and he exceeded expectations with what he was able to do. Definitely recommend this parlor and specifically Lotoe. Attention to detail is top notch. read more

upon arrival to my first session with jesse there should have been a stencil already prepared for me but there wasn't... so this tattoo was done freestyle which was never discussed prior. Additionally , there were errors/red flags such as crocked lines which had to be thickened in an attempt to correct that and lack of colors (artist blended colors to make one) .The tattoo appears messy, doesn't blend, transition well, or look like the design asked for. I have reached out to express my concerns and a phone call was arranged telling me i can pay for corrections. I have decided to look into laser removal which terrifies me and is unfortunate because i gave this business about $2.5K ... read more

From the moment I walked into the studio Jesse made me feel instantly at home. This was my first major tattoo since my former artist moved away so I was nervous at first but as soon as I met Jesse my anxiety transformed into excitement. He took his time as we went through the exact design that I wanted and even researched new techniques and ideas I never even knew existed. Jesse talked me through the entire process and told me exactly what would happen. After over 12 hours and two days I feel like I finally found my new artist. Jesse is a true professional and an amazing person. The piece came out way better than I expected and I could not be happier. Jesse now has a client for life! read more

Best experience I've had. I was a little nervous as this was my first tattoo, but Spank took the best care of me and made sure I was okay throughout the whole process. When I arrived he already had stencils prepared and ready for me to look at. I felt really comfortable and trusted his work, he was really patient with me, no hesitation. The work he did went above my expectations. Communication was great and I was very grateful he was able to take me in under short notice. During the tattoo he was a great listener and the pain was not bad at all surprisingly, sat through an hour and it was great. 11/10 experience, would definitely recommend to anyone (especially those getting a tattoo for the first time). read more

Good artists twice the price of anything in the area, go down the street and youll get the same quality for literally half the price.

This is a pleasure to write. Jesse made the experience of getting a tattoo truly a joy. This was my first. Jesse's studio is immaculate--everything state of the art. Safety and aftercare were stressed and well explained. But most important, Jesse is a true artist. His work is simply beautiful: detail, shading, a keen eye for color and mixing. Every time I look at my tattoo I feel joy; I'm very proud of it! His versatility is evident from his wall art and all the other tattoos you can view online. He is also very personable and the time goes by smoothly. I have always believed that getting there is half the fun. This journey was a blast! read more
