Tattoo Shops near Arlington

“A great experience overall, booking and depositing was easy and the shop was super clean/sanitary.
Caitlin did an incredible job and was supportive throughout the whole process.
Would recommend this shop!“

“Absolutely yes, everyone I have met has been very welcoming and kind.

Fluid Ink's artist Walker and I were able to bring 3 different perspectives to a single drawing. I would absolutely have him do another tattoo. I have one spot left for a story, it just hasn't happened yet.

Moe's awesome too!“

“From the level of customer service to the quality of their work, Mister Finster's is a cut above the rest. I recently got a tattoo here and man does it look nice. I got my ink done by Rusty, the current guest artist and I'm in love with it. I would recommend anyone who is looking for a quality tattoo to stop by here to check them out. Thanks again for the awesome job guys!“

“Great vibes in this studio! The environment is super laid back, cozy, comfy, and clean! I first met Donnie about six years ago when he was working in a parlor in Woodbridge. I was so impressed by him and his work that I followed him to Alexandria when he got his own studio! Donnie and Max are ridiculously talented, considerate, funny! I could really go on and on about how incredible these two made my 8 hour session. Donnie free-styled my half sleeve. I told him what I was looking for and let him do the rest! I honestly couldn’t be more happy with the finished piece!!“

“I had a great experience with Dani the owner. She is the one who did my brows. I don’t have even brows, or the perfect brows but she managed to work with that and gave me the best brows I have now. I chosen combo which is I believe both techniques combined. My brows are now even and filled in. I’m very happy with my experience and it is worth the money because after the healing processes and touch up you have great brows. Dani and her assistant were also really nice. I never had no issues they were very kind an also manages to keep in contact if you have questions and they follow up with you . I definitely recommend them and people also some where I gotten my brows done. I’m very with my combo brows thank you Dani “

“I messaged with them on Instagram asking if I could stop in and just have someone take a look at a piercing I had. I didn't even get it at this location. I showed up and was immediately taken to the back by Kristen who took a look at my navel piercing and told me it was pierced incorrectly and was rejecting. She then took it out and cleaned up the piercing site and talked me through what it's supposed to look like. All of this took maybe 10 minutes and I didn't even make an appointment or have to pay a thing. I will definitely be coming here to get my navel re done once it heals. Thank you wicked goddess!“

“Jesse is so kind, accommodating, and professional - not to mention, an incredible artist. The studio is very clean and welcoming. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will be back for future tattoos!“

“I've gotten 4 tattoos by Troy and he's an incredible artist. He does the best American Traditional in the area in my opinion“

“Kyle was incredible and did an amazing job! I am always continuously impressed with the service, experience, and quality at Fatty's!“

“I have seen Ash for brows and lips, and have had great experiences all around! She is so thorough in her explanation of the process, setting expectations and in the execution of her craft. I get so many compliments on my brows from people who’ve had work done elsewhere and wish it was as good as hers, and I love how my lip blushing is currently healing - can’t wait to see the final results!“

“Mawi was absolutely amazing and I stumbled onto his shop thru the Yelp project feature. It was worth the drive from Haymarket to Springfield and I had 4 ink sessions with him o er the course of a little more than a month. It is a super chill vibe in the shop and Mawi and the rest of the artists in his shop really seem to have some different going than places like Exposed, and I really appreciate that about them. I'll be back to add some more pieces in the future, I am sure and I would highly recommend this place.“

“It was my first time getting tattooed at this shop and it was an overall great experience. The environment is professional and fun to be around. I got tattooed by Maria and she did an amazing job, not just with the tattoo itself but with her communication skills and attentiveness. I would definitely come back!“

“Not your usual tattoo shop. From the minute you walk in for your first session, you're treated like family. There's an artist for every style tattoo you can imagine. I've been going there for about two years now, and even when I run out of space for tattoos, I'll still make the trip over to hang out with everyone. I'd give 10 stars if I could.“

“Got my tattoo done by Laurin and she was so great! She was very understanding of my nervous laughing and she chatted with me and my friend the whole time, making us feel very comfortable and welcome! <3“

“The design by Angeles Tattoos was out of this world!! She is so talented and perfectionist that you know you are in the right place to get a tattoo. The creativity in her designs builds trust and reassurance. Can’t wait to be back!“

“Professional, efficient, clean (in more ways than one: also clean work!), tidy, and friendly! Definitely one of the better tattoo studios around.“

“Stylist: Storm did an incredible job. Chest piece that I contemplated for years. He nailed it!“

“Amazing shop and artists! You will love anything you have done here. They go the extra mile to make their clients feel comfortable while always maintaining a professional environment. 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!“

“Susan did my hand and my thigh tattoo and I’ll definitely be getting more work from her in the future. She has great technique and is not heavy handed, some of the most comfortable sessions I’ve had and I’m nearly covered in tattoos. She has a great artistic mind and is lovely to chat with, or not if you don’t feel like talking.

The shop is impeccably clean and incredibly professional. Highly highly recommend.“

“My friend and I got pierced by Erika today and we had an awesome experience! She was super nice and informative and walked us through everything she was doing :) The jewelry they offer is also super pretty!!“

“Absolutely thrilled with my new tattoo from Dan! Even though it's been a few months, the artwork still looks as vibrant and stunning as the day I got it. Dan's attention to detail and creativity exceeded all my expectations. The entire experience was comfortable and professional. If you're looking for an exceptional tattoo artist, Dan is the one to go to. Highly recommend!“

“Pop’s tattoo is such an amazing professional tattoo parlour. As soon as you walk in you can tell how clean it is. They do a wonderful job of making you feel completely comfortable. I got my cartilage pierced twice and the procedure went very smoothly. My piercing didn’t get infected once nor did it swell. They prioritize precision and cleanliness and it is obvious how much they care about each customer’s comfort and about getting the job done right. I would highly recommend Pops Tattoo for anyone looking to get a piercing or a tattoo.“

“First off, MST is super responsive to emails and their Instagram messages, where other shops sometimes are not.

I've had two tattoos with Faka, a few years apart, and both experiences were great. I love the feel of the shop - they have a huge door they open on nice days and it's bright and airy in there.

Faka is super attentive to the ideas you have in your brain while also considering the location and actual execution of them to ensure it looks right on your body. They also offer touch ups within a certain time period to make sure you love your piece.

My first one was on my back and pretty easy to sit through, but my second one was on my ribs and required a few quick breaks. Faka was super understanding.

My rib piece was a sentimental one and Faka focused on keeping the nature of my pop's handwriting true to his style. Thanks so much, I'll always recommend MST to my friends!“

“It was my first time coming to this shop. The location is so nice and the vibe of the shop is top tier. The interior decor, music, good service, and talented resident artists/ guest artists make this shop really stand out. Will be returning for more tattoos in the future. Services“

“Fantastic Work done by Kaly highly recommend him as an artist. I sent him my references, and he created a piece that was fire! Will indeed be coming back to him!“

“I’m from out of town and had to find a replacement tongue piercing (cause I ate mine by accident hush) and this was the only place close enough for me to get one. It’s a lil hard to find tbh but we walked into Michael while he was walking out and running late for something but he took the time out of his day to help me and put in a piercing for me even tho he was busy. I didn’t make an appointment or anything and I was so extremely grateful for this man!! I would def make an appointment out of respect but he is AMAZING and if I lived here I would definitely go here for anything I needed!!“

“In my handful of experiences with walk-in tattoos I’ve never felt as welcome or comfortable as I did at Jinx Proof! The team there works well together and did everything they could to accommodate a busy day of walk-ins. My friend and I walked in with several ideas apiece and were met with patience and not rushed in the least. This has not been my experience in the past, and I’m so grateful that Tad was available. Not only are our tattoos beautiful, but Tad left such a good impression on us I wouldn’t hesitate to book a tattoo with him!
They also have a nice selection of quality jewelry and my friend was able to get a tragus piercing from Andrea, which turned out perfectly as well!

Cleanliness: The shop is well maintained without feeling impersonal.“
