Moving 5 kids across the country was not something easily done. Faith got me through.

Cannot find anything wrong with this shop. After a cancellation, Bryan got us in and did a phenomenal job for 2 friends looking for their first and second tattoo. Their parlor was clean, staff was engaging and nice and very professional.

Amazing customer service! Super clean and organized tattoo SPA with several talented artists. I had been searching and asking around for a tattoo artist to do a coverup for me. From the time I walked into warlock's I knew this would be my place! First of all, this was the cleanest and neatest tattoo establishment I had ever seen. The front staff greeted me so cheerfully and carefully reviewed my request. They knew exactly which artist to pair me with. Bryan! And boy they were right! After speaking with Bryan I felt right away that I could trust him and his work. On the day of my appointment, Bryan was ready. His workroom was sooooo clean and so well organized I felt like I was at a spa. He made sure I was comfortable and reassured me that I would be satisfied with the results. Bryan has a great personality that makes his customers feel like you already knew him. And his artistry? OMG!!! I loved my tattoo so much I cried! The ugly, damaged bow that once sat on my ankle was GONE! Totally gone! My new tattoo is so beautiful I still can't stop looking at it. Now I want more and will definitely be going back to let Bryan add on to his masterpiece. Warlocks is now my new tattoo spa! Thank you Bryan and the 2 nice ladies at the front desk. I'll be back very soon and bringing friends with me! Deb

An old school tattoo shop in Raleigh- clean shop! Friendly and was able to get in a small appointment within a few days. I met Ernie- who's been tattooing since he was 17 and classic tattoo styles. I had a small tattoo that required fine line work and he did great! It was quick, clean and healed up beautiful! Thanks to the staff there, everyone was friendly and helpful!

This Tattoo Place was a blessing after two bad experiences in one day. The first bad experience was with Romantic Torture Tattoo, on Capital Blvd and secondly, Rock-N-Roll Tattoo, refer to the review I wrote for this, "Rock-N-Roll." Sabrina, Deborah and staff were very accommodating. They took me in at the very last minute. They were very patient with all my questions and inquires. They were more expensive but professionalism is worth the price. Sabrina did both of my tragus and I couldn't be happier! I WILL BE BACK!!! Thanks all staff!!

Byron did not want to touch up my tattoo after he stated i got a free touch up. LOOK AT THAT WORK

one of the most unprofessional places i've been to get a tattoo. their work is good but i advise you NOT to book with bryon. He tattooed me horribly that i had to get it covered up & promised me a free touch up and NEVER did it

Fuck you tattoo

Contacted the shop via email and received a response within the hour. They gave me a call to discuss prices and availability. We were visiting Raleigh for the weekend and they got us in the next day! Front desk staff are extremely friendly!!! Our tattoo artist Brian was great! He was great with making last minute changes and our tattoos came out looking amazing! Very satisfied with the overall establishment and will definitely be going back.

Warlock is a clean and professional studio especially in a time like today. My artist was Bill, he was very nice and considerate. He designed my tattoo better than I expected it to be. I love it and get some many nice compliments! (This is my third tattoo)

Brian did amazing on my American traditional tattoo!! Shop was very clean and everyone was nice!! They will take care of you for a amazing price

Went in Saturday for a coverup tattoo. Sadly they were completely booked. Byron , the owner , asked me if I could make it in the next day at 1. When I told him I had to be at work at 2 , he said can you be here at 1030? Keep in mind they don't open until 12 on Sundays. I said I could. I showed up at 1025 and Byron was right there holding the door open for me. We had good conversation. Took about an hour and a half. He told me he was going to post a before and after picture and put on Instagram. Which he did just that. Just another reason I continue to come here for tattoos. And my daughters do as well.

I love this shop. My husband and I found Byron a few years back. We had gone to multiple shops looking for a good artist who was friendly. As soon as we met Byron we knew he was the right guy. I have had 5 of my tattoos done at his shop and 3 were by him. We now live out of state but still make the drive to because we love him. I still recommend him to everyone I can. I've added a few of mine and my husbands tattoos. Thank you for everything!

I called about getting a smoke background on the flames on my arm. I walked in and Ernie came out and said it wouldn't be a problem at all. After going to his room and getting some ideas he had , which were awesome I decided to rework my whole 1/4 sleeve. Man since I first got it in 2004 I always wanted it to look the way it does now. He gave me a number on how much it was going to cost and o was actually surprised on how reasonable it was so I said go even further. I let him run with his own design and I could not be happier. I'm so glad Ernie worked on my tattoo, he is professional and truly a great artist. 5's all the way.

My Spartan helmet tattoo.

See all

Great place, great artists. If you're too sensitive to handle some banter, you shouldn't be in a tattoo shop.

Updated review: I…read morewant to clarify the timeline based on my emails with Jesica. I did ask to see a sketch before canceling. On the Monday my finished sketch was promised, Jesica emailed asking for direction, which made it clear that no design had been started or completed. I replied asking to see any progress at all, even a rough draft, so I could provide guidance. After that, she stopped responding completely. I only canceled after she ghosted me and had not delivered any work despite a full in-person consultation and detailed instructions. This was not a matter of impatience or disliking a design. The concern was that no work was ever produced or shared, and my requests for proof of progress were ignored. I am posting this so other potential clients have an accurate record of what happened. Paying a deposit for work that is never delivered and being left without communication is unprofessional. Original review: I met with Jesica Sanchez in person to talk about a custom tattoo and gave her all the details for what I wanted. I told her the idea was a little open so she could have creative freedom and show me her vision. I paid a $100 deposit and she told me I would get the finished sketch the Monday before my appointment. That Monday she emailed saying she was still "trying to come up with a concept" and needed more direction. That was the second email from her saying basically the same thing, which made it clear she hadn't even started by the time the finished sketch was supposed to be done. At that point I told her it was fine, I understood that what I was asking for would rely on the artist more than Google image so I'd just find another artist since she hadn't started. Then she told me she couldn't refund my deposit because she had "already spent so much time" on it. When I asked her to show me ANY kind of sketch so I could give feedback, even if she wasn't happy with it, she completely stopped responding and ghosted me. She never showed any work, never communicated again, and kept my deposit. I was really excited to work with her but this was completely unprofessional and dishonest. I'm posting this so other people don't go through the same thing. Be careful before paying her anything upfront.

HOLY CRAP!!! So I went up to Raleigh to get my first tattoo and samantha was working that night…read more She was such a vibe and I love her style and was like lets do it! The shop is beautiful and looks over the street, has some view of the city and some bangers playing in the back. Highly recommend!!
