“I’ve been going to MST for about a year now, and I only have good things to say! I’ve recommended this place to several friends, colleagues and random strangers who have complimented the work I’ve had done there. Faka, Danny, Carly, Adam, Liz & Hannah work so well together, it feels like they are truly a work family :)! They have always made me feel extremely welcomed and very, very safe. As a queer person, I have always felt safe and accepted there. Danny works very hard to make sure the shop is a comfortable environment. Faka is the artist I normally see, his American Traditional work is simply beautiful. I’ve recommended several people to Carly based on the style of tattoo they want and everyone has been extremely pleased with the results! This is the only shop that I trust in the DMV, and I am so happy to say that I love MST!! I couldn’t recommend this place more!!“
“Fury13 was the first tattoo shop I went to when I moved to the DMV over 5 years ago and I go there still to this day. They made me feel like I was welcomed and accepted into the community from the moment I stepped through the door. They really show how diverse the NOVA community and population is and showcases the very best of what the area as a whole has to offer. They are lifelong friends and I cannot recommend them enough.“
“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!!“
“Today I got a perfect little tattoo by a young lady named ley! She was incredible. Very helpful and patient with me ( I hate pain)… after two Bad Bunny Video (playing on the wall) I was done! The shop is very clean and the staff is amazing. They are all Spanish speakers but made sure to keep me in the loop and switch between the two languages. Wish I could give more stars! Also wish“
“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 decided to get my first tattoo with Carlos aka Mr. Symmetrical and it was the right decision! He was transparent, knowledgable, and caring; made sure I understood the procedure; and personalized the experience. I put my trust in him and he exceeded expectations.

She was very knowledgeable, instantly identified the problem and guided me through a jewelry change. My time at Wicked Goddess Body Art felt like I was hanging out with an old friend with how personable the staff is. 10/10 would recommend“

Every person I met made everything so much better and comfortable.Ken Rexroat did such an incredible job with a tattoo that has such significance and has sensitive matter to me that it makes me want to cry.

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!“
“I went to TK for my first tattoo and could not have asked for a better experience. He was patient and communicative through our booking and design process. He explained everything that he was doing and clearly prioritized my comfort and safety. We ended up breaking my appointment into two sessions because he noticed my skin was really sensitive and wanted to give me some time to heal before finishing the piece so that it would turn out perfect. We even FaceTimed before the next appointment to make sure I was healed enough to continue it (I wasn’t, so we pushed it back). Before my second appointment, there were some storm/weather alerts, and he messaged me beforehand to make sure I was still comfortable driving in. TK truly loves his job and cares about his clients’ happiness - he’s not just there to make a quick buck. I get tons of compliments on my tattoo and have recommended him to everyone who comments on it!“
“They are really very friendly and very awesome with their job. My artist was Fely he is really awesome gives you good pricing give you more recommendations I would highly recommend this place.“
“I had a really great experience getting a piercing done by Chuck. Very clean and professional -- he answered all of my questions and was a delight to talk to. I'm looking forward to coming back to get more piercings done when their normal piercer, Shannon, is back in a near future. Overall, it is a great shop to get piercings or tattoos done and I'd highly recommend it.“
