Piercing near Reston

“Jesse is super sweet and knowledgeable! I've gotten five piercings now and would definitely return for more. He's also really responsive on Instagram when I had some questions. Thank you!“

“Karis tattoed me this past Sunday night and I am blown away with the result. She redesigned the concept I requested in the best way, so now I have a tat that feels like art in the best way possible. That tattoo is unbelievable and I couldn’t be happier.“

“Jen did an AMAZING coverup and made me feel comfortable through the whole process. I moved my placement a million times and she was still patient, supportive, and kind. I will be back in her chair ASAP!“

“Great vibe, been working with Kevin for a while. Always a fun time and great people, 10/10 recommend“

“I had a lot of anxiety about getting my rook and tragus done, but Rachel made the process smooth and nerve-free. It wasn't nearly as bad as I’d envisioned, which I attribute 100% to Rachel's skill. Their jewelry selection is rather vast, with pieces for every price range. The shop's location next to the Metro was also a plus.“

“We loved our experience. My daughter was so comfortable and they did everything to ease her mind and gave so much personalization and genuinely made her feel so special. Earrings are perfect. It’s a wonderful experience“

“I couldn't be happier with Lora at Patriot Tattoo! Works cannot put into how awesome this experience was but I will try.

I had wanted a nose piercing for years but kept putting it off because I was so worried about the placement and the possibility of developing a keloid or irritation bump. From the moment I walked in, Lora made me feel like an old friend. Her warm, bubbly personality immediately put both me and my mom at ease, and she made the entire experience so enjoyable by chatting with us while carefully explaining every step of the process.

When it came time for the piercing, she absolutely nailed the placement - it is exactly what I had envisioned and perfectly complements my face. The piercing itself was so much easier than I expected. It felt like a quick, big pinch for just a second (I'd honestly rate it about a 4/10), my eyes watered a little, and that was it. No bleeding, no drama.

What impressed me just as much was the aftercare. Lora's instructions were simple, easy to follow, and my healing process has been unbelievably smooth. I had been so anxious about complications, but thanks to her expertise, everything healed beautifully. I am genuinely so happy with the result and honestly feel more confident than ever. Lora is an absolute delight, and if you're considering any piercing, I wholeheartedly recommend booking with her. She's talented, knowledgeable, and makes what can feel like a scary experience incredibly comfortable and fun! THANK YOU LORA!!!!!“

“I apologize it has taken me this long to write a review on my experience with my daughter and I getting tattoos at Blackwater.
Killian and Pete did a phenomenal job. From the very beginning of calling and setting up an appointment to Their finished work.
But the real thing that stood out is their tremendous attention to detail and their hospitality“
