“I can't say enough great things about Martin Robertson at Socrates Ink Gallery! From start to finish, he was the epitome of professionalism—his communication was clear, the shop was immaculate and well-organized, and the entire process felt seamless.

Martin is genuinely personable and made the entire session enjoyable. He’s a true artist in every sense of the word. When I made a last-minute revision to our original plan, he adapted effortlessly, taking my request in stride and making it even better than I could have imagined. His vision and creativity took the image I provided and elevated it to something truly special.

With his years of experience and undeniable skill, the execution of the design was flawless—everything I had hoped for and more. If you're looking for an artist who’s not only talented but also passionate, adaptable, and dedicated to bringing your vision to life, Martin is the one to see. Without a doubt, I will be returning to him for any and all future body art. Highly recommend!“

“Great experience, great atmosphere, and great people. If you’re looking for a tattoo this is your place. Highly recommend.“

“Love DC Society Ink! Everyone here is friendly, professional, and extremely talented at what they do. And the studio is very clean.
You won't feel like you're in a dentist's office. You really can't go wrong with any of the artists. To date though (over the last year and a half) I've worked exclusively with Luis (@luisink1104 on IG). He's done my entire upper body -- chest, torso, sides, back, armpits, sleeves, shoulders, hands. He makes sure he understands what I want. And after our first session I've learned to trust his instincts and let him use his creative juices to bring my ideas to life in ways that are better than anything I could have imagined. His attention to detail is impeccable, thinking of the tiniest of details (that I never would have thought of) that make the pieces just that much better. When I first came in I had no desire, no plan to get a full body suit. But Luis has been so awesome that what began as just a chest piece has evolved into something so beautiful that we're going to do the legs, the neck, and even the head. If you want a tattoo, come to DC Society Ink. If you think you might want a tattoo, come to DC Society Ink. If you're lucky you'll get to meet the legend himself, Dave Bautista!

UPDATE: After 177 hours my body suit is complete. You can check it out on IG (@luisink1104 for a little video Luis put together, or @i.n.k.e.d.bro for my tat account). Still want to do the neck and head and Luis will be ready when I can finally get the job killer tats without them being job killers.“

“So very happy with my tattoo. Ian understood and respected what I wanted done. Cover up tattoos are not the easiest but I'm grateful that I was in such good hands. Bed of Roses has a lifetime customer. Definitely going back for more!“

“This place is fantastic. I was nervous about getting both nostrils pierced due to the risk of them being uneven, but Ryan worked with me until I felt comfortable about the position about both of them. He was incredibly knowledgeable, gave me great advice on the location of the piercings based on the jewelry I wanted to wear, and provided easily digestible information about the healing process/piercing care. The store was clean and Ryan kept a sterile work environment. I will absolutely go back to see him for any other piercings I get in the future!“

“Chloe King is amazing! Came in with an older tattoo that needed reworking, and came out with an amazing tat, a good show recommendation, and new culinary knowledge! Very professional artist, amazing experience!“

“I had my grandmother go in for micro blading and it was an amazing experience. Very patient, extremely professional, and overall a comfortable environment. Thanks Zoe and Mia!!“

“I just got tattooed by Anna and she did a great job. She made sure to go over the details of the design and gave me options before finalizing my decision. She was also so polite and made great conversation as I talked while getting the work done. She made the whole experience wonderful.“

“I absolutely love this place. I got my first tattoo with Javi 7yrs ago and I knew right away I was gonna stick with him. When he opened his own shop, I followed, and it’s been about 21 tattoos since that first one.
Very professional, tremendously talented, incredibly easy to work with, and the best part, lightest hand I’ve felt from a tattoo artist.
My mom got her first tattoo at 55 and it was with him. About three years after, she flew from our hometown to get her second because she “won’t get tattooed with anyone else”. ??“

“Now they are under new ownership and have a great talented team. Helen has done all my tattoos she's awesome“

I ended up getting dizzy after the piercing (no fault of hers, i def didn’t have enough to eat that day) and she took great care of me… was super patient and made sure i didn’t leave until she knew i was OK ?. Highly recommend!!!“
