Tattoo Shops near Newington

“Long but worth the read.. In the tattoo world there are two different kinds of artists. There are one's that learn the trade, become decent enough to constitute "good work" and for the average customer and they are satisfied. Then there are the upper echelon of artists who go beyond learning just how to tattoo. They are masters of their craft. They take their time, understand the concept of design on skin, adept the weight, speed, and type of the tattoo request. They go beyond, they lose themselves in the art. Take this exceptional talent and add it with one of the most personable individuals you will ever have the opportunity to grace in your lifetime and you have met Simon at 917Ink Tattoo. The time I have already spent with this gentleman has restored my faith in the art of tattoos.His ability to see your vision and make it a reality is extraordinary. The skill behind the man is without a doubt, one of the absolute best in the business and I feel fortunate to have sought him out to complete my entire top half of my body. Because of his talent you will need to dedicate real time to your appointment. This is not a rush in, 2 hours, then out. If you are looking for that kind of rush I suggest elsewhere. You will be met instead with a true artist, a true tattooist who's conversation will make you leave feeling like you've known each other your entire life. Once he gets started on your piece let him blast music and go into his world and create a masterpiece that you will be proud until the end of time. it's incredible to watch him strategically think out each line, each area, and make it come together and walk out with magic.If this isn't a recommendation I don't know what is. To have 176 FIVE STAR reviews is telling you something. Not one customer can walk away without the tattoo of your dreams as stellar. FACTS FOLKS! You want magic? Simon is your guy. :)“

“This is an amazing studio, with 2 brilliant artists who do their best to make you feel safe and comfortable. I have been twice now and cannot wait to go back!I have 2 tattoos from Ashley, the work is perfect and has healed even better, no need for any touch ups, and she explained the healing process clearly, this is great for people new to tattoos, and judging by how the work has healed, the advice is very solid!I met Travis during my 2 visits and both times he was very welcomingFrom my experience this is a amazing space to be in and I cannot recommend it enough, I will definitely be visiting again sometime soon!“

“(BRUCE LEE COVER-UP)
Been coming here for years for my tattoos with specific artist Pat B and I finally decided to leave a review. If you want quality looking tattoos come here you will not regret it. All artists also have great portfolios. I recently had a bruce lee cover-up done ( pat B) and I was impressed with it. Before and after Pictures included. Great studio!“

“This review is for Cassius . First I went in for two piercings over a year ago and given his bedside manner and his customer service we talked about him possibly doing a cover up of a senseless tattoo I got years ago that I’ve hated. We came up with a design.
I went in last week, a year and a half later for another piercing and fortunately for me, one of his appointment canceled and we decided since I was there, to do the coverup.
I’m extremely happy with the outcome and glad I didn’t go elsewhere, can’t even tell it’s a cover up. He was very light handed, pain was tolerable and overall it was a great experience and end result. Keep up the good work Cassius!!“

“I can't say enough about this place, there's always plenty of parking out back, the building is clean and sterile, everyone's wonderful to work with. George has now done three tattoos for me and he has always been professional and has done an absolutely wonderful job. He is a true artist.“

“The owners of the Golden Gates Bus were very informative and friendly. Their customer service was top tier. I came in super nervous and they were very reassuring. I definitely recommend and I will be returning!“

“I went to get a piercing on the other side of my nose. I originally had a piercing on the left side but I got a keloid on the inside of my nostril and was told I could not have a piercing done. Mr Cat looked at me and looked at my nose and said I can do it and I said but they told me it couldn't be done and he said I can do it. Not only did he do it but he went in the back and custom made a piece to go through the keloid with extra width because of the keloid. He was so nice and accommodating. I would recommend him to anyone“

“I've gotten all my ink done there and I will never go anywhere else! Dean is my artist and is the best person to work with. Everyone there is just so nice. Coming back to see y'all soon!“

“My tattoo artist there is Leo. My husband and I both go to him. He is phenomenal. He is such a great artist and visualist he can really make you a request come to life. Everyone in the shop is Very friendly. All the artists in their have their workstation decorated and it is really cool to see all their different personalities

Cleanliness: The tattoo shop is very clean and has a very welcoming atmosphere. Has a lot of stuff to look at.“

“Inker did my first piece so perfectly I am still in love with the fine lines, detail and shading. I had to get 3 more and was beyond happy with the work he did. I admit I was privileged as he did a lot of my father's work but believe me I am very particular about my esthetics I won't let anyone else tattoo me. I appreciate everything about his craft it's a true experience with him. If you're looking for something fast this isn't for you, respect the process as Inker is the Real Deal. No matter how many shops open this will always be the one that encompasses what the art of tattooing means.“

“Yayo did a great job on my tattoo, he will work with you to give you exactly what you want. The whole place has a nice comfortable vibe. Highly recommend.“

“I absolutely love this place! My second tattoo from Witchhouse is now fully healed, and the whole process working with Courtney from design to finished work couldn't have been better. Honestly if they'd let me I'd probably stop by semi-regularly just to watch movies in the waiting area...“

“The most laid back shop I've been to! Everyone is super nice and welcoming. It's very clean, which for me is quite important. Julie was my artist, and she did my first color tattoo. It came out absolutely PHENOMENAL. Exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be back for more ink.Service: Color ink tattoos“

“I got my VCH piercing re-done by Jay a few weeks ago & it healed perfectly. He made me feel super comfortable and even provided some information that I didn’t know. The place is clean and has a good vibe with great customer service. We even shared a few laughs. Definitely recommend.“

“Both my daughter and I went to get our matching tattoos and Freddy is just awesome! This was my daughter's first tattoo and made it very comfortable for her. We both love the tattoos and we now have our permanent tattoo artist! I definitely would recommend him!“

“First time here , came in for a frog eye piercing . Shop was clean , the appointment it’s self didn’t take too long, I like that walk ins are welcomed , Shawna was my piercer and she did an amazing job , quick and easy ❤️ I’ll write an update review in a few weeks on the healing process! But I’d def recommend this place :)“

“Quick stop in to see if they could help get my daughter’s corkscrew nose ring back in. Everyone was super helpful and accommodating and Yayo got it back in in less than a minute! He gave us a quick tour of the tattoo space and we got to meet the extremely artistic staff. Go check them out. All good things!“
