Carlyn P.

I came to Virginia beach at the end of October 2020 to celebrate mi cumpleanos. My friends and I decided to get tattoos.We came to Virginia Beach Ink with fingers crossed. Note, this was my first tattoo. I was super super super nervous. When we came in with our masks, the staff took our temperature, and explained the paperwork that required signature. Our host was extremely polite, friendly and amiable. I wanted the dove with the olive branch outlined above my ankle. Shelley was my tattoo artist. She really helped calm my nerves and reassured me that I would be okay. Lol. I asked to go first before I lost my nerve. Shelley placed the temporary on my ankle to confirm placement then the show got started. It was a painful experience because of my tattoo location. I was glad that they allowed my family to be with me. Even with the pain, I was completely still because I knew this was permanent. The tattoo went fast. Shelley was done in at least 10 minutes. I was truly impressed and am in love with my decision.

Nose piercing w/ upgraded opal stud.

I went here for my 18th birthday to get my nose pierced. The lady at the front desk was very sweet and helpful. I upgraded to an opal since the price of the piercing alone was already so affordable. $15 dollars for basic piercings, and upgrading to an opal was an additional $15 - not bad at all. I got pierced by Clinton, and he was training an apprentice at the time. Both of them were kind and informative. Piercing was fast and easy. Overall, good prices, good piercings. Thanks guys!

My tattoo and the infection

Three other people and I went to get matching tattoos all of our tattoos came out infected! I'm not going to speak for everyone else but I know I have taken proper care of my tattoo from the moment I received it. Along with knowing that my tattoo isn't the only one that is infect also in my opinion shows something is off. We split of into pairs one artist took me and my friend while another two my two aunts. My artist had better line work then the one who did my two aunts tattoos but it too him forever to even start on the tattoo! Both of my aunts were done with there tattoos before me or my friend even got started and we were in the back 10 minutes before they came back! When my turn came to get the tattoo the artist cleaned the arm and the work area but then got up to take a smoke break came back while I sat in the chair waiting. He came back cleaned my arm again then proceeded to tattoo me. While he was tattooing me he told me to come back for touch ups, I told him I won't be coming back due to the fact I didn't live in town! He then proceeded to Press down hard, saying he was going to make sure the ink was in good since I wasn't able to come back! My point being I have an infect tattoo and I won't be going back to this shop for any other work.

$160 for this ! And this was less than 5 minutes each ! If you wanna keep business, don't take advantage of your inexperienced customers!

Well I DID use to like them bc in college I received all my piercings from them for only $10 . Then here recently , my parents came down to visit me from out of town & they were swindled out of $160 for super small tattoos. I understand it's a business but the fact that they charged $80 for these tatts are flat out ridiculous . Way to take advantage of an older couple celebrating 38 years together ! Smh Horrible !

My husband and I came to VB for vacation. We knew we wanted to get tattoos while here so I researched and found VB ink. I reached out to our tattoo artist, Brian A. Ahead of time and scheduled appointments so we could for sure get in. He was great. Very professional and did amazing work on our tattoos. We couldn't be happier. I also got a piercing with Kyle. He made me feel very at ease.

Face relaxed, piercing visibly crooked. Taken 3 days after piercing.

I really wanted to like this place but I'm honestly pretty disappointed with the piercings I received. I came in 03May2021 and got my philtrum (medusa) and both my nipples pierced, paid $200 tip included. The front desk staff was lovely, and they were super helpful with picking jewelry. And the piercer was also nice, but so far all of my piercings have had to come out. My lip was swollen the first 2 days, and it started to dig into the back of my lip and cut it, and rub against my teeth. I gave it a few more days and by the time the swelling had come down I realized it was pierced crooked, which is why it was cutting into my lip. I took it out on the 08May2021 and called to see what could be done and was offered a re-pierce once it heals which I'm honestly not willing to do given the current circumstances. As for my nipples, this was my second time getting them done. The first time they were done perfectly and I had 0 pain or infections for the 2 years I had them. But this round was nothing like that, I was in searing pain for a solid week after and they were pretty infected right away. I understood it would be more painful with scarring from a previous piercing, but it was unbearable. I cleaned them multiple times a day with sterile saline, never used soaps or perfumes near them, and soaked them every night also in sterile saline. Never took baths, never went swimming, only touched them when my hands had been washed with antibacterial soap, always made sure to sleep in clean shirts at night so they wouldn't snag and wear clean clothes daily that came into contact with them. I had to go on antibiotics to clear the infection. I noticed they were pierced pretty deep but hadn't had too much of an issue with it until it started cratering two weeks ago. I took them out 05July2021 after consulting 3 other shops because the cratering was so severe the balls on both ends of the jewelry on both nipples were being completely swallowed by my skin. They were pierced in my areola, and not the nipple, so the entire ring was swallowed by my skin and causing a lot of damage and pain. While I was slightly understanding with the lip piercing being crooked, I'm beyond disappointed that I've spent $200 and all three piercings have had to come out and left a ton of deep scarring on my nipples and the back of my lip.

Barry did an AMAZING job!

I had a really great experience here (the Janaf location). And I interacted with a lot more staff…read morethan maybe a normal person would. I emailed, phoned, and went to the shop twice throughout my whole piercing process from booking to replacement post after my swelling went down. I got a fast response from my email and was treated kindly at every interaction. I got a side labret piercing, and I'm a good bit older than most of their clientele, so I called to make an appointment (I live far away) and to request Kimberly be my piercer, since she's the master piercer and 20-year-old skin is not the same as 50-year-old skin. I was REALLY nervous at my piercing appt, so I forgot all the questions I wanted to ask. But at my 8 weeks post-piercing, I went back to the shop to get a shorter post put in, and Laycie helped me, and she was the absolute sweetest. If you've been pierced there, they'll put in your jewelry for free, so I only had to pay 20 bucks for the new, shorter post. Despite the fact that this was not exactly a big money-making appointment for Laycie, she patiently and thoroughly answered all my questions that I had forgotten to ask before. I'll be back when I'm ready for my hoop! :) P.S. They have a HUGE selection of jewelry here! Highly recommend even if you just want new bling!

(TLDR: scroll to the bottom if you want to see my pricing breakdown)…read more I scheduled an appointment (2/25/26) for my birthday after walking in two days prior to view the jewelry selection. All staff members throughout my time there (both days) were INCREDIBLY helpful and informative, as I had a lot of niche questions with getting my cartilage pierced and working as an EMT! I came in early (30 minutes) to my appointment to discuss questions and worked with Rennie (instagram: @rennieandsharp) and she was THE ABSOLUTE BEST EVER‼ Not only did she easily answer any questions I had about anatomy, healing, and future piercing options, but she also helped me pick out the perfect jewelry and did not rush me when seeing which options worked best for my lifestyle! I didn't feel pressure to choose jewelry she initially recommended even though I originally wanted something different, but I ended up going with what she recommended anyways because girl is an expert at her craft! Renee and another piercer even helped me evaluate my anatomy for a navel piercing after 3 larposcopies and while the answer was that "it wouldn't be advisable", I was not let down at all, because both Renee and this other employee made sure that it was with the intention of putting my health first, which can be hard because many piercing shops will do whatever piercing just for it to reject, having you in and out, this place genuinely cares about your health and the longevity of your piercings! Moreover, the thing that blew me away was that half way through my appointment I found out Rennie WAS AN APPRENTICE?! (Not a bad thing) I was genuinely so shocked to find out she hadn't been in the business for years because she was so helpful. I fully trusted her to do my piercings and she did an amazing job, I got my double conch done with smaller pieces of jewelry and even though she said my ear might swell, and it could be risky having them done so close, she trusted my judgement as well and gave me all the information I needed to make sure nothing bad happened!!! she did such a good job that they haven't swelled at all yet, even the same day, and it's been a week! The process was also completely painless for me, she was so patient and kind, making sure I was comfortable which made my experience worth everything and 100% easier! She also mapped my ears out for future piercings just for fun! While I am moving away from VB in may, I ultimately see myself road-tripping just to have Renee as my piercer, she truly has an amazing career ahead of her and the treatment at this location is unmatched. Not to mention the brand of jewelry that they carry is incredibly reputable and well known, ALL HAD FLATBACKS (hard to find at some piercing shops usually only a few pieces), doesn't feel cheap or tacky, and is incredible quality for the price! PRICE BREAKDOWN: You cannot beat the prices of I'm Just Saiyan, as it is a $25 service fee that includes pretty much any piercings you get at that appointment (with obvious exclusions of genitalia etc.) For two freckled flat back studs each was about $30 I believe, so not bad at all, making my total price $85 but I tipped 20% so it was about $100 total for both, super worth it and again, you can't beat the quality here, I would recommend this location over every other place in the 757!

AMAZING STAFF! And such a wonderful environment! My experience was beyond fantastic! Malcolm…read morere-pierced my nipples and blew me away by his professionalism.

I decided that I wanted to get a naval piercing and called around to a few different tattoo places…read morein the area for availability and pricing. I called Ocean Mystique and the lady was very nice, gave me the price of the tattoo, which was $35 for basic jewelry, but at the time I called, the piercer wasn't there. She did mention that he should be in some time in the early evening so I was a little disappointed but once I did call back around 5-6pm, he had made it to the shop. As soon as we walked in, they were was a rope at the front door not allowing us to continue in the shop until we had our temperature checked and sanitized our hands. I appreciated the extra level of care to ensure we weren't feverish or experiencing any virus symptoms. I really liked how clean the tattoo shop was, I was very impressed. The piercer went over the piercing guidelines and after care and was all set up for me in the matter of minutes. Once I was in the room, I did ask him if he minded me taking pictures or recording and he did so I respected that and did not record or take any pics of me getting pierced. The naval piercing was over in less than 2 mins. He made it quick, easy and fairly painless. I chose this place because they provided the cheapest naval piercings in the area and I'm glad I did. *Just FYI, if you "Check In" to this place on Yelp, a $10 off coupon might pop up but they set up that coupon a while ago and it's not valid anymore. I actually checked in on Yelp after I paid, alerted them of the coupon and they mentioned they were going to remove it.

I waited about 20min due to 3ppl ahead of me. The gentleman at the front desk got me situated with paperwork so that I would be ready once it was my turn. The shop was extremely clean and spacious with a comfortable waiting area. Mak the piercer, called me up and educated me on the plethora of jewelry options for nose piercings. I settled on a small stud and was ready to roll. Mak was so accommodating, welcoming, and calming to me during this process. She mentioned being an apprentice of Brandy and gave her all the accolades on her craft. Mak thoroughly explained everything I would experience during the piercing process before actually sticking me. This was unlike any other piercing experience I've ever had. Mak was quick too, but not like she was rushing me out. She ensured I was ok the entire time, and made suggestions on placement from her experience and WHY! She also suggested that I close my eyes. This was extremely helpful as well as properly breathing through the process. After I got done the quick and nearly pain free process, I had a small tear from my right eye as she stated I would. Mak thoroughly explained the aftercare process and told me to contact her directly if I had any questions. Valhalla and Mak is great for any beginner or novice people seeking piercings.
