My piercer gave me a waiver to sign, and got a copy of my ID. We talked some about my Jewelry choices, and what I wanted in the future. We then went back to the room for the piercing. She helped me find the perfect spot to get the piercing, especially considering if I wanted different style jewelry in the future. I told her I don't do well with piercings, but I still wanted to get it done. She assured me it was okay, and explained to me that that is how my body responds to things of the sort. She walked me through everything, and then helped me out by fanning me and giving me water after it was all done. Everything is extremely sterile and clean, even the Q-Tips came prepackaged. The environment was very professional and everyone was very positive. I love my piercing and if I decide to get more, I'll definitely come here! They're awesome.

I come in to see my mother and Damon talking and my mother showed me their Instagram profile. After seeing his portfolio, I immediately booked a same day appointment for later on that evening because the work was impressive. I showed back up and he was very attentive to all the details I wanted, which was crucial for this piece. I got the Joestar birthmark tattoo from the Jojo's Bizzare Adventures manga. The actual tattooing was such a breeze and Damon's vibes during this process was perfection. I'm excited to say I found my new tattoo home and plan on coming back for more pieces soon.

STOP. You do NOT want a tattoo here from Andy Scott. Listen…read moreto me when I tell you...you won't get what you ask for - you get what he wants to do to you. And he's not as experienced as he will lead you to believe. His overall shading and "artistic ability" lives on the dark side. How do I know this? I gave him a picture of exactly what i wanted, said he could do it, and has worked on senior skin before No & No!! My tattoo is a dark gray blob of a mess. My 4 year old granddaughter colors inside the lines better. The first sitting ? He treated my skin like nothing different. I went home with a plasma wrap, and by bedtime, it looked like a blood bag from hospital. In 2 spots, he dug in so deeply, it cratered my skin. Had to wait that month's time to continue, plus I didnt get what I wante. It's so dark and unreadable, yet he refuses to add white, to separate the characters. I asked him to refund SOME of my money, and again he refused. Luckily I found a local "Award Winning" cover up tattoo that says he can make it Look better. So I ask Mr Scott for less money, to help me pay for the repairing it. Obstinate !!! I sent him 2 pictures, asking him if he seems any different. Please help me !! Look at these pictures and tell me if thet look the sam. Thank you for listening to me trying to save you from a BAD TATTOO

I wanted to get some fresh work and asked a few friends whom I trust where to go. Valhalla was the…read moreunanimous recommendation. The scheduling process was doctors-office style professional and efficient. Craig was great to work with, friendly, and as another review mentions he has some good stories-which is nice when someone is sticking needles in your arm 1000 times a minute. His work looks like he took the design provided, made it bigger, and applied it to the site. Craig also talked about the work with another artist before we got started-literally spent a few minutes comparing notes together and making sure we were on the same page, it was reminiscent of what I've seen builders do, and the result is outstanding. The tattoo is Complete robot-quality workmanship. You can expect excellent conversation, good humor, and a great shop environment. The place is super super clean and rather upscale - almost like a spa but with tattoo artwork and dudes with beards giving people tattoos. I have never been to another tattoo place like it, I found it to be atypical for my tattoo experiences - in a great way. They absolutely hold to the southern pines style of service and hospitality, without the requisite arrogance or air of exclusivity that commonly flows down Broad street. Craig's military background appears to be responsible for producing a very repeatable, customer focused, PROFESSIONAL, and enjoyable experience. If I get another tattoo, it will be at Valhalla.

BEWARE ladies!!!! ...this is to any female that goes to Jonny X, currently working out of Valhalla…read moretattoo shop. I went to Jonny for a few tattoos, all completed on the same day...with the initial intent to return cause I had been looking for an artist since I moved here to NC. Aside from feeling the entire time I was there like he was hitting on me...before starting my last tattoo he asked me out; which I declined. I should have just left after he asked but still sat for my final tattoo...after declining, his demeanor completely changed. He was clearly irritated with me, which made me extremely uncomfortable and feeling unsafe. Long story short, as a result of declining, he intentionally messed up on my last tattoo. It's absolutely terrible!!!! Thanks to this asshole I now have a permanent reminder on my body of this situation; a fucked up tattoo. In this town, I unfortunately am not the only female who has had this same/similar experience with Jonny X. If you are a female that still decides to go to him, I wouldn't go alone.
