Every piece he’s done for me has exceeded my expectations, and he takes the time to make sure every tattoo is exactly what I envisioned.

Whether you’re getting your first tattoo or adding to an existing collection, you’re in great hands with Ryan.

“I CANNOT & WILL NOT EVER be able to say good enough things about Loose Screw and their very own, Jen Bean. Man oh man, can that girl knock out some damn ink! Her designs, attention to detail, shading, line work, ease...etc. is all top notch, flawless & down right exquisite. She is my most favorite artist I've ever worked with, not to mention THE most talented. From start to finish, the consultation, the pricing, the tattoo process.. all of it was done professionally, promptly and perfectly executed. I already have my next tattoo planned with Jen. All of the artist at Loose Screw are well rounded, talented and can bring your vision to life upon your skin! But Jen, sets the standards high! I would honestly pay $500 an hour for her if I had to. She is that good, yes! Check her out for yourself! You won't be disappointed. Guarantee ya!“

“I had such a great experience getting my nose pierced with River City Tattoo and Piercing while at the Raleigh Convention Center! The piercer Nycole was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She was incredibly knowledgeable, took her time to explain every step of the process, and made sure I felt comfortable before beginning. Her attention to detail and professionalism really stood out, and I never felt rushed.
She answered all of my questions thoroughly and provided clear aftercare instructions, which gave me confidence that I was in great hands.

If you’re considering a piercing, I highly recommend asking for Nycole. She truly cares about her clients and made the entire experience a positive one. I’ll definitely be back for future piercings!“

“Very nice people and phenomenal artists. Mada did my tattoo and it turned out amazing.“

“I got my first tattoo ever here by Jay. He's absolutely amazing and so communicative. He talked me through the whole process and answered any questions I had. If he was tattooing over a section that might have been painful he gave me a heads up. His skill as an artist is great too! I absolutely love my tattoo and the colours are gorgeous ❤

The shop itself is so cool and inviting. Each artist has they're own station persolized to them and the music selection has always been a hit. Jay offered to change it if I wanted something else but I was vibing with every playlist or song that was put on.

I've recommended this shop to all my friends looking to get tattoos because they have such a wide range of talented artists.“

“Slim was very patient with me and did an amazing job at helping me figure out what to get. Good prices too ?“

“Love this place!!! My tattoos look great! My artist was super cool, fast and definitely pays attention to detail. Will be back again for my other pieces.“

“I truly couldn’t have had a better experience with Joey! Any piercings I get in the future will definitely only be done by them. They explain everything very thoroughly and are so kind and patient. Such a quick and easy process and I felt so comfortable the whole time!“

“New to the area, and walked past the shop and was immediately drawn in from the exterior decor. From start to finish (keep in mind I’m a walk in with no appointment) everyone treated me with kindness. They worked with my idea and did not rush the changes (went back and forth on placement and font choice). My experience and the actual tattoo were top tier. I will definitely be going back. Shout out to Koopa Caitlin for doing a great job and being so easy to work with.

I’d upload a photo but I’ve still got the “second skin” protecting it!

Thanks y’all.“

“One of the more exceptional tattoo studios I've ever been to. Their staff were welcoming, well-spoken, and wonderful from start to finish. While tattooing can be painful and uncomfortable, the whole experience was made easier by the positive and authentic, jovial attitudes of the folks who worked there-- from receptionist to tattoo artists to the owner. A+, would absolutely get more tattoos there.“

“Great work and even better people. Got majority of my tattoos done here and couldn't recommend them enough!“

“Worked with Zoe to get a tattoo from one of her flash sheets. The tattoo looks fantastic--bold and colorful. Zoe was professional, efficient, and made the experience a very positive one! Would definitely go back again!“

“All of the staff were very nice, Jason took care of me for my first tattoo! Experience was pretty fun, very knowledgeable about aftercare and the process! Would come back too. 5/5“

“Cody is the man! Took us as a walk in on a Saturday afternoon and absolutely rocked my wife's tattoo. Returned the following day to get one myself and was very impressed again! shop is clean and welcoming with great artists with fair pricing. I recommend checking these guys out before looking anywhere else in the Richmond area“

“Got pierced by Charlotte today and she was phenomenal. Vibes were absolutely immaculate. She made an intimate piercing feel very comfortable and relaxed. Her skill made the process quick and fairly painless. 11/10, I will be seeing her for all my future piercings.

The receptionist, Cole, was super warm and friendly and took time to recommend artists for specific tattoos I wanted done and referred me to their other location for a larger variety of plugs and tunnels for my stretching journey.

Overall super pleasant first experience at this shop and I will definitely be back. Thanks again guys!“

“Everyone was very friendly, my friend and I were walk ins. Vivian was happy to come up with a design for my turtle overnight and tattoo me the next days even workshopping the design before getting it on me :) would love to come back in the future for more work!“

“I had my lobe and septum piercings done by Ashley and Syd respectively, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They were both really knowledgeable and kind, and made my first piercing experience painless (or as painless as it can be, I guess). I would recommend them both any day if you’re interested in getting a piercing, especially your first. I also lost half my jewelry on my lobe piercing about a month and a half after getting it done, and was able to get it replaced free of charge. Price also can’t be beat for the level of expertise you’re getting. Love love love lucky 13 and their piercers!!“

“I’ve gotten 8 or so tattoos from Zac here, the shop is clean, chill, and they for sure know to tattoo. Would definitely recommend.“

“Great service. Friendly staff. Fair prices. Still can’t quite believe that art this good is on my body.“

“My friends and I stopped in for some ink..shout out to Nelson for taking care of me during my visit from NYC...“

“Jon did my father and daughter tattoo and did an amazing job. If you’re able to be okay with the foundation of line work and not even care if it’s shaded, you know you got the right man behind the needle. His priced us fair and made our experience worth coming back for more!“

“I loved my design and received many compliments. Sadia was very pleasant to work with. I look forward to my next appointment.“

“We had an excellent experience. Amy was gracious and wonderful. We are very happy with our tattoos and highly recommend her for her talent and kindness.“
