“Really appreciate how my piercer took my vasculature into consideration and didn’t pierce through a vein she identified in my ear. She gave me the option to pierce it just a bit lower; I chose to hold off and walk away with only one piercing that day, but I definitely plan to come back soon. Super sweet; JP was great!“

“I came here for a paw print tattoo to memorialize my beloved cat. I'd never had a tattoo before, so I was a little nervous.The folks at Trilogy Atelier were wonderful from the minute we walked in. John, the owner, checked me in and sympathized with me about the death of my cat. He shared how he'd his St. Bernard passed four years ago and he still was grieving. That told me I was in the right place.Fabio was the artist I selected (at the recommendation of a friend). I watched him sanitize the work area. He did a great job of taking her paw print and aligning it with her name. He adjusted the stencil placement at my request by a half an inch. He used a small cordless tattoo gun with a single-use, sterile disposable needle – much friendlier than the big metal ones I remembered seeing in movies. And it didn't actually hurt all that much! The finished tattoo looks so good - you can see the details from where the fur between her toes touched the paper. The fine line tattoo for her name is crisp and clean.Afterwards, John was so excited for me to have joined the tattoo club. He remarked on the wrist placement – that it can be painful, though he didn't necessarily want to tell me that – and Fabio noted that I sat like a champ.I was given clear instructions on how to care for it (SecondSkin for a couple of days, and how to remove that when it was time), and told to call or email with any questions or concerns.I would recommend Trilogy Atelier to anyone who needs/wants a tattoo. I am so grateful to have this small piece of my cat with me forever - and to wear my heart on my sleeve, so to speak. If I could give them 10 stars, I would.“

“Great place to get a tattoo! Brian was amazing! My boyfriend and I walked in after sending him an email with what we wanted. He drew it out and gave us another amazing piece of artwork. His line work and precision is incredible. The staff are very friendly and his pricing is extremely reasonable. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a tattoo!“

The resident artists and guest artists are some of the best in dc. I appreciate that they’re appointment only so I never have to wait after my scheduled appointment time. Not to mention the shop is beautiful! Amazing design!“

“After having a bad experience (just inquiring about getting our first tattoo) we called here and asked if they were first time tattoo friendly and the guy on the phone sounded calm and said they are happy to take everyone and are patient.We got to the shop and had them draw up our designs. We tweaked it a few times and never were we made to feel like it was too much. We settled on what we wanted and are thrilled to have found this place.Front desk lady was amazing. Her attitude was great. She talked with us and made us feel comfortable. Our tattoo guy was kind and patient. We happen to be visiting from California but let me say this, I would fly back here just to get another tattoo from this place. I highly recommend you try them for your first or 50th tattoo.“

“This was an awesome experience for my first and second tattoo. Ghost was my tattoo artist for both pieces and I couldn't be happier with the result. He's very professional, takes his time, and creates great pieces of art. He's also more than happy to answer any questions you may have about the tattoo or aftercare. I highly recommend this shop and plan on coming back with more ideas.“

“New favorite spot for sure! First time in this shop but I’ve been getting tattoos from Ryan and Billy for years! This is a really calm, clean, bright and happy space. It’s real easy to get there from the metro too. All the artists here have years and years of experience and are truly professionals in their craft. Everyone was very kind and made me feel comfortable. All of the artists are incredible, patient, considerate and easy to work with. Definitely coming back soon and told all my friends too. Pricing is exactly what I anticipated-if you are surprised by the price of your tattoo you probably haven’t done enough research and reading to get a tattoo.“

“Had the pleasure of getting tattooed by Bobby Sunshine at the Philly Tattoo Arts Festival this past weekend. Very chill and easy to work with. He was able to make a tweak to one of his flash designs and was very meticulous about design placement in relation to my other pieces on the other arm. Linework and shading was spot on and it came out better than I imagined.“

“Amazing place to get your ears pierced. The shop owner is extremely friendly and professional. They allowed me to bring my own jewelry so long as I filled out the form completely! 10/10 experience!!“

“I got my 3rd hole in my lobes pierced by Matt last week. Not only do I love the piercings so far but he was quick and I felt nearly any pain. I would recommend this place and consider coming back for more piercings once these are healed.“
