Best Tattoo Shops In Virginia Beach

“I’ve gotten a tattoo here by Dan, he was very kinda and understanding and i love my tattoo so much, The shop is always clean and calming and everyone there is so nice. I also got a piercing done by Oli, super awesome to work with and the piercings are beautiful. The atmosphere the staff here provides is very welcoming which in my opinion is very important for a piercing/tattoo shop. I literally will never go anywhere else lol.“

“My friend and I are on vacation this week and decided to get tattoos. We chose this place because they had great reviews and hoped they could fit us in. Luckily, they were able to get us both in! Both of our artists were awesome, and the shop had such a good energy. Everyone was really nice, and our tattoos look fantastic. I would 100% recommend this place—best tattoo shop I've been to.“

“LOVE her stains and her powder brows. I was so scared at first to do the powder brows but they are AMAZING and my life will never be the same. Not to mention she makes you feel so at ease and like you’re hanging out with a friend you haven’t seen in a while. Do yourself a favor and see her so you don’t have to waste time on your brows any more“

“I was in town visiting the VA beach area with a close friend and old roommate. I found StudioEvolve through google and called to see if they had availability for walk-ins, which they did with Blake.

Blake is an amazing artist, knowledgeable local of the VA area and a budding sailor. He did a great job delivering my tattoo idea and the staff were all super friendly. When I visit again, I’m making sure to visit the studio again.

Thank you all!

Requested style: Blake delivered on what envisioned for my tattoo design perfectly. Thank you!

Specialties: Each artist they have specializes in a certain style. Blake was traditional Japanese and delivered excellent on my black and grey Russian Doll tattoo.

Cleanliness: Super clean, no worries there“

“My wife and I have been getting tattoos from Ghost ship for a while and the artists here are amazing at what they do. My wife got 3 tattoos here and they all turned out great. I've been working with Cliff on a half sleeve on my left arm and I get compliments all the time on how cool it looks. Still a work in progress but Cliff is making it look great.“

“Alex is the Goat at Ancient Art!!! My wife travel 3 hours every time to see Alex to get tatted. Highly skilled and talented. Awesome communication skills and customer service. Been 4 times and going back in July. Only place we go. And on another note, the other artists, though we haven’t had the experience of being tatted by them, they are exceptionally talented and awesome to from my observation. Facility is clean and awesome atmosphere!!!“

“I have gotten 8 tattoos in the past here. They were always good. Recently I had 3 tattoos done by Jen. Jen does beautiful work and definitely knows what she is doing. She is also great at working up a tattoo the way you want it. If you're thinking of getting a tattoo go see Jen. You will be very happy you did. Thank you Jen. JB also pierced my nose and did a good job. Thanks JB. I posted pictures of my tattoos.“

“I got a tattoo done by Ian. I requested Ian after seeing his work on line and his talent with fine lines and his beautiful creations. I absolutely love the tattoo he designed for me. It captured everything we discussed and honestly his design was even more beautiful than I imagined. He is a master of his craft and a genuinely nice person. I enjoyed my experience with Ian and every person I communicated with there. Everyone is friendly, helpful and responsive.“

“Some of the best artists and staff! Love seeing Jacob’s smiling face everytime I come to the shop! And their piercer Julia has done a few of my piercings and they have all been wonderful!“

Requested style: Vine wrapping with honey sickle Flowers and ladybugs.

“Anna Strangebird is amazing! Not only does she listen and gets the tattoo perfect but she also holds great conversations too. I have 3 tattoos from her and I love them all! I will keep going back to her, I think anyone reading this should consider their next tattoo to be with her. Thank you Anna you are amazing! (Flower done by Anna not the stars)“

“Kat is such a wonderful piercer I cannot recommend her enough I've gotten my septum pierced before ( twice ) and none of those experiences compare to how swift and painless she made this experience for me. She centred it perfectly and was extremely professional when addressing past piercing concerns. Will definitely be back for more !“

“Baghe Henna was awesome! She went above and beyond to do my daughter henna tattoo despite their power outage due to the heavy rain in the area! She was sooo nice and helpful! We are on day 2 and the henna tattoo still looks great!“

“Roman did my chest cover up and I must admit he was very very professional!! I appreciate the time you took to make sure everything came out the way it did and didn’t rush through it!!

Appreciate the hard work.“

“Nice environment very nice staff geo was the one who did my tattoo and he did amazing 10/10 would come back“

“Brandon Webb consistently puts out bold, solid work. He helped bring every single one of my visions to life! His vibrant color choices and strong line work (as well as being a great human) are the reasons I went with him to do 98% of the tattoos I have on my left arm. These won't be the last pieces I have from him, but he brought my sleeve idea to life and I couldn't be happier!“

“I had heard good things about Copper Fox Tattoo and went yesterday to get an addition to my tattoo in honor of my grandma who passed away a year ago. When I arrived, the artist that was there was already booked, but he called the owner, Calli, to see if he would be able to help me out. Even though Calli had just left, he turned around just to come back and do this for me. He brought my vision to life, and it was exactly what I wanted. Great price and great customer service. Highly recommend!“

“I got a tattoo 8 years ago and loved the work. Through IG, I found my artist who did that tattoo and where he was tattooing these days. (@chris_h_art_ink) Now called Seven Cities Tattoo Co., my artist, --Chris H.-- did my *two* new tattoos. He squeezed me in on a Saturday and gave me a beautiful chrysanthemum tattoo. We couldn't finish the other flowers as we ran out of time, but he didn't leave it incomplete. I messaged him halfway through the next week with a question about the healing process. He answered my questions thoroughly, and then mentioned he had an opening the following Saturday to finish up the tattoo if I wanted, and of course I took the opportunity. He finished my tattoo up with a beautiful arrangement of gladiolus! He didn't block it off either, so if I want to add more, I could (most definitely will!). He listened to my requests of no harsh black outlines and that I wanted it in the same manner of my previous 8 year tattoo. He asked what colors I was thinking and went from there. Definitely trust the process. I am beyond thrilled with the work. Chris was really nice and kind, and very realistic and practical about the whole process from booking to aftercare. The shop has great vibes and it's very calm. The decor is fun and whimsical, the tattoo area is spaced out nicely, and you can watch them clean the areas up after they're done so you know it's clean. I enjoyed my experience here, and I'll keep coming back so long as Chris is here.“
