“I went for my first tattoo and Amanda was amazing! She created another version of my design and made it perfect. She was very efficient and made sure I was comfortable. Definitely will be going back to Warlock’s and Amanda!“

“Finished up my neck tonight. Can’t say enough good things about this place. Edgar the owner is outstanding. All around great experience! So if you’re looking to get some new ink I highly recommend them. #boldhousetattoo.“

“LITERALLY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MAGICAL THING ON MY BODY ??✨??? Always love getting tattooed by Jaimie — she’s an incredible artist and truly skilled at her craft! ??? 10/10“

“Very chill tattoo artist, before going in i was quite panicked because it was my first one, but once it started he was very understanding, took his time in a good way, talked with me during the process to keep me calm and distracted and hurt a lot less than I thought it would hurt. After getting it he answered all my questions nicely. My tattoo turned out great. It's pure black, but judging by his other photos of tattoos he's done I can say he does AMAZING colored art. Will come again and again. And price was probably better than your usual artist.

Cleanliness: Cleaned and shaved my arm before the process, wore gloves, wiped it down after finishing it.“

“Very respectful it’s clean and he do great tattoos good energy makes you feel comfortable“

“Amazing upgrade on my old worn out 30 year old tattoo!! I’m tickled pink!
Libby does amazing work quickly, precisely and takes care to do so in a sterile fashion.
She’s a retired nurse with mad skills, so she knows what is up with caring for your fresh original art!“

“I just had my long-awaited session with Nate!! I was ready to cancel on Sunday.. I told them that I had to work and couldn't come in but in reality I have been suffering from major depression these days and just wanted to be cuddled in my bed but I ended up saving my appointment and I am beyond glad I did. Nate is just a wonderful human and it was so easy to talk with him. I had to talk about this first because connection really matters with your tattoo artist. Thank you Nate, I felt like I was a normal girl again, from the bottom of my heart!!! Now ..what Nate did with my botched tattoo(got from vegas) was BRILLIANT AND PERFECT!!!!! If I don't forget I wanna share this beauty when she is not puffy lol. This tattoo means so much to me, so grateful to the world for Nate and his amazing skills. I still can't stop smiling. omg guys my tattooooooooooooooo!!!!!! Lolol“

“Went there to get my nose piercing fixed after having one done that closed. The staff was very knowledgeable, facilities were super clean. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Had my ear lobes pierced. Rikki Goodwin was professional and friendly. Well recommend to friends and family.“

“Literally love this place! Kensley has done my nose and bellybutton so far (I will definitely be back for more). She did a really good job, super kind and got it done so quickly! Sheuwn has done my helix and got it done quickly as well.“

“I can’t say enough good things about Lacie. She is so skilled and her attention to detail is just amazing. Thank you, thank you for our beautiful tattoos of our beloved Snoop.“

“Shaun was super easy to work with- his studio is clean and beautiful. We had a great experience and will be back for more!“

“I have gotten 2 tattoos (one being a cover up) from Ray and I can honestly say I won’t be going anywhere else now that I’ve found him! He is a true artist. Both tattoos, I gave him a general description of what I was wanting and he drew up a few options for me to pick from, while giving his professional advice on steering me away from a small detail that wouldn’t look good forever. He’s friendly, professional, truly wonderful at what he does, his pricing is reasonable, and the studio is clean and inviting. While he was tattooing me, my fiancé was telling him of a tattoo he was wanting. While we were leaving my fiancé asked Ray if he could do the tattoo tonight but Ray kindly said he would need a few hours to draw up a few sketches. We both appreciated that Ray wanted time to design something he would love, rather than just giving him a tattoo spur of the moment to make some money. Can’t wait for our next visit to Punkture Tattoo!“

“Got my first piece and some touch ups from previous work done by several other artists and Nadir did some beautiful work and brought my old ink into a new life! I highly recommend this shop and especially Nadir! Unfortunately I am moving away from the area but I will definitely travel back to have him continue to do beautiful pieces of art on my skin. Thanks again Nadir!“

“Aubrey is the BEST!! She always does such an amazing job! I tried out several different artists when I moved to Raleigh trying to find the right fit, Aubrey has been it. Her quality of work never disappoints, conversation is always fun, very efficient with timing, I could go on lol. I’ve had several pieces done by her and finished my sleeve and I’m always amazed at the work she produces.“

“110% reccomend coming here for your next tattoo! Candice is such an awesome tattoo artist and person. I am quite the wuss when it comes to pain but she was VERY understanding, nonjudgmental, and even helpful by giving tips to help ease my mind through the pain. If you plan on using tegaderm for your aftercare, bring some with you as they don’t carry it there but Candice put ours on for us! Such an awesome place. Very informative and seems like they keep up with continuing education and keeping up with the times. 5/5 stars!!“

“I love this place, the brow artist is so professional and very patient. She's checking on your throughout the entire process to make sure you're comfortable. I highly recommend.Service: Microblading“

“I had an amazing experience with Stylez! He did an incredible job bringing my vision to life, even though I know I was being a bit particular. He was patient, understanding, and nailed exactly what I wanted. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality of work, and the overall atmosphere was great. On top of that, the conversation made the whole experience even better—I felt like I was chatting with an old friend. Highly recommend!”“

We love our little tattoos. They also had a ton of people there for piercings and had great deals for that too. Definitely check them out!“
