“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!“

“I got my first belly button piercing done here. They did an excellent job and would definitely come back again.“

“I went during the Friday the 13th flash sale, my husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and wanted to get matching tattoos, they were very nice, had lots to choose from which was way more than the other shops and were super quick. 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!“

“Mo did my tattoos in the past. I need to come back and get another one on my leg and a repiercing to the third hole on my ears.“

“Ken was professional. He explained the whole process prior to starting my tattoo. He took my vision and brought it to reality. I was looking for an tattoo artist who understood skin of color.. One who could make the colors stand out on my skin. And Ken truly exceeded my expectations. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a tattoo . I’ve received numerous compliments about my tattoo cover-up. Check him out. You will love his work.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“I absolutely recommend Oak City Tattoo for anyone looking to get tattoo work done I got Mark and he has a very steady hand and did a awesome job“

“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!”“

“Such an amazing artist! Friendly, respectful, great quality work and really knows what he’s doing!!! His shop is awesome and you won’t regret booking with him!!!“

“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!“

“I have three tattoos from Candice and Hannah at Triple Moon and am planning on more. Both of them are gifted artists and wonderful people to work with. After my first tattoo (that I got at another shop) didn't go as well as I'd like, I have had nothing but positive experiences here. I don't have any pieces by the other artists there but their work is also clean and bold and they're always pleasant. I would recommend this shop to anyone!“
