Best Tattoo Shops In Wilmington

“My new favorite tattoo by Jacob.

The shop is amazing with decor and the vibes of everyone are right on point with what a person could want.

10/10 would recommend to people out of this area to make the drive for quality work.

Will be back!“

“I called to see if me and my friends can get a late night walk-in tattoo and the artist took us in! Mind you, this was two hours becore closing. The artist, Brian, didn't have to and didn't make us feel like an inconvenience.

He took his time to re-style and strucutre out beautiful designs and worked with us and the budget we had. You can tell the difference between someone who cares about their work and art...and someone who does not. Brian, clearly is a person that cares about their craftsmanship.

He also fixed my botched tattoo with a simple, quick outline. My tattoo now looks so much better than it was before!

By the time we finished, it was past shop hours. He was still very patient and didn't rush us. We all came out with art we can be proud to show off.

Thank you, Brian, for such a positive tattooing experience <3

If I could give you more than 5 stars, I would!“

“Awesome place! Came in as a walk in on a Sunday with no wait. Todd did mine and my husbands tats and dude rocked it out. Place was very nice and clean. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.“

“I had a wonderful experience getting a tattoo from Adam S. His line work and shading are impeccable. He made my vision come to life with a gentle hand, patience and expertise. The shop was clean and comfortable. All around, great vibes!“

“My mom and I are on vacation and wanted to get a tattoo to commemorate our first vacation together!! Something small but meaningful!! We stopped in and saw Hailey and joe who were both awesome!! They had walk in openings, were both so so kind and all around a pleasure to work with!! Highly recommend these two!!!
Thank you so much Hailey and Joe!!“

“Awesome place! Very friendly! I was in Carolina Beach for vacation and decided I wanted a tattoo in remembrance of my parents. I went to Jade tattoo with no appointment was greeted at the door explained to them I was just there for vacation and would be leaving the next day they didn’t have any openings but they told me if the 2:30 appointment didn’t confirm then they would call be back. They called back and told me to come in. Kat was my artist she was very friendly and worked with me and explained every thing I wanted a hand tattoo showed her the pictures she drew it up perfect! She gave me exactly what I ask for! I have been to a lot of tattoo shops this one is by far the best very clean, very professional and very friendly with some great artists! If you are ever in Carolina Beach area and are looking to get a tattoo I very highly recommend JADE MONKEY! ASK FOR KAT SHE DOES AMAZING WORK! Thank you to All at Jade Money for making it a great experience and to Kat for capturing the memory of my parents I will cherish for a life time!“

“I have recently received one of my largest pieces at Good Graces by Vyvyan! It was a concept dear to my heart and she made sure to be diligent in the details while designing the design, making sure it was completely on par with my vision. Her execution is precise yet swift, gentle and caring. I truly believe she could not have provided more of a comfortable experience (seeing as it was across my ribs and large) than she had given me.

The shop itself is beautiful and historic. There is an airy atmosphere that is easygoing and not overstimulating compared to many places I’ve been. They keep it clean and well stocked with reading material and beverages too!“

“Zoe is by far the sweetest and talented person! I’ve gotten 2 tattoos so far with her and many more to go🤭.“

“got a fineline tattoo with Meg (thegreenshe) and she did absolutely amazing. made the whole experience so comfortable for my first tattoo. very genuine artist, you can tell she cares about her work. definitely recommend.“

“Kamran does gorgeous work. My color tattoos are vibrant and clean, and the whole experience is well explained and comfortable.“

“Had a great experience with emily at Cape Fear for my first tattoo! It was very comfortable and everyone at the shop made me feel welcome and ready! Thanks again.“

“Cam did a great job on my tattoo. I can't say how please I was with his work. So happy“

“Baylor and the crew were great! Extremely personable! This was my first time getting a tattoo without having a friend there to hold my hand lol (I have 8 others from a different shop) but Baylor and everyone else made me feel super welcome! I think I have finally found my tattoo person! CANNOT wait to have more sessions at Rockstar in the future! About to work more overtime just to go more often!“

“I can't recommend Brooke Sombati enough! She had the vision and skill to turn the disappointing tat I'd gotten elsewhere into one that I now love. Brooke is talented, friendly, patient, and a great communicator. The shop is very cool and fun to spend time in. I will definitely be back!“

“We came in as a walk-in on a Saturday afternoon, 4 ladies looking for ladybug tattoos and Matt was an absolute delight! He was patient while we worked through the design and did a fantastic job. Super personable and kind. 10/10 would recommend“

“I was so nervous on my very first visit but Lauren quickly put me at ease and really listened to what I wanted my brows to look like. She addressed every concern I had and gave me the brows I wanted. I just went back for my touch up and couldn’t be happier. For someone who was really nervous the first time, I was now confident in her judgement and expertise. I’m so glad to have found her. I won’t let anyone else touch my brows now!“

“Bri has done a couple of tattoos for me. She continues her excellence with my latest artwork. She has become my go to artist“

“Kayla is AMAZING! She is responsive, experienced, talented, and is a fantastic artist. Her work is clean and she will make your tattoo visions come to life. She and her husband really do the best work. This is the ONLY place my husband and I will go for tattoos. Thank you Kayla!“
