Best Tattoo Shops In Alexandria

“The establishment is clean and neat 10/ 10. The other artists that work in the shop were nice with good vibes. Everyone was respectful. Corey was OUTSTANDING 10/10.“

“Love my brows! I’m a blonde and Ash nailed it! So natural that my husband didn’t even notice when I came home. 100% worth it!“

“John at High Five has my highest recommendation. He worked with me on the second phase of a larger project, helped clarify my vision and map out future steps.
John was selfless with his time providing a consultation lasting more than an hour before taking a penny.
A true artist beyond even his exceptional tattooing, John applied his decades of creativity to help refine and enhance my vision.
Aside from that, John is just a genuinely cool dude. High Five is an incredibly welcoming environment and John instantly puts his clients at ease, setting the tone for a wonderful experience. If you’re down for tales of adventure, be sure to ask about his favorite past time and epic travels.
I will most certainly return and am honored to walk through the world displaying John’s art.“

“First off, MST is super responsive to emails and their Instagram messages, where other shops sometimes are not.

I've had two tattoos with Faka, a few years apart, and both experiences were great. I love the feel of the shop - they have a huge door they open on nice days and it's bright and airy in there.

Faka is super attentive to the ideas you have in your brain while also considering the location and actual execution of them to ensure it looks right on your body. They also offer touch ups within a certain time period to make sure you love your piece.

My first one was on my back and pretty easy to sit through, but my second one was on my ribs and required a few quick breaks. Faka was super understanding.

My rib piece was a sentimental one and Faka focused on keeping the nature of my pop's handwriting true to his style. Thanks so much, I'll always recommend MST to my friends!“

“I absolutely have to give a shout-out to Jesse at Old Town Ink & Art Gallery! He was extremely helpful in working out a gift certificate for a family member. He made it very easy and approachable to plan and schedule a tattoo idea. My family member wanted it to be known: He was so very personable and kind and very dedicated to making sure that I was comfortable and happy with the tattoo and he kept reworking it a few times to size it accordingly for me and get the colors right and then he added stuff as I went through the ideas I had. He did a carnation and then I decided not to use it and he changed it and printed out several options. Then we got to it and he def had a light and gentle and skilled hand with the detailing. I think he's wonderful. He was so adaptable and flexible to whenever I could get to him. He was great! Absolutely recommend!!!“

“My brother and I got our first tats here with TJ. Overall awesome experience, chill vibe, super welcoming to new people. If you're looking to get a tattoo but are nervous trust me this is the place.“

“When you walk in you know it will be a good experience. super clean place, excellent service and the best thing is the good vibes“
