Cannot recommend 138 enough to anyone looking to get ANY kind of tattoo or piercing work done. The staff treat you like family. They will make sure whatever you need done is finished in a professional, experienced, sanitary, relaxed environment without annihilating your wallet. I won't go anywhere else ever again.
I had a great artist who did great work. Second time being tattooed by that artist, for tattoo total from the shop. They are the only place I go. Prices are good and there are super clean.
I can’t properly express in words how fabulous this rework of a 13 year old tattoo turned out but I’m gonna try anyways. Well beyond my expectations. 150% satisfied and then some. Steve is an amazing ARTIST not just a tattoer. He took what I wanted into consideration then proceeded to “pimp” my existing tattoo with his own personal magic. The overall vibe at this shop and experience it provides their clients is second to none. I live in the Richmond area and traveled past atleast 15 other studios that were closer to home to come to 138 but I would gladly travel 3Xs the distance to make my next ink stop with these guys.
