Best Tattoo Shops In Richmond

“I had an outstanding experience at Loose Screw Tattoo starting with the friendly reception team and most especially with Autumn Richmond. This tattoo is very special to me since it represents my first born son that took my wife and I 15 years to conceive. I gave Autumn a few sample pics of what I was looking for, then I came in and she had a couple great designs to choose from. She made the entire experience go by very smoothly. She's super nice and easy to chat with and she absolutely nailed the tattoo. I couldn't be happier with my experience and I will definitely be going to Autumn with my future big tattoo projects. Thank you Autumn for doing such an outstanding job on a tattoo that means so much to me.“

“Me and my daughter have both received tattoos from Leigh Odom. He is very professional and does an Awesome job Each and everytime.“

“Beautiful! I’ve received so many compliments already. Sadia is a beautiful soul and her energy was felt while getting my henna which was a plus. She fully explain the after care and the design looks amazing once dried. I can’t wait for my next appointment.“

“Amanda has all three Michelin starts “ Exceptional tattoos, worth a special journey.” Fortunately I only live 50 miles away but when I move away I’ll have to start flying in. Well worth it.“

“I went to Emily (@erea.tattoo) for a scorpion tattoo. Her skill is exemplary - light touch and great precision. We got to talking about a 1/4 sleeve floral project I’ve been wanting to find someone to do. Emily was super excited to draw up the art for it and I went in last week and got the best tattoo. Again such a great touch and the color is packed in perfectly. My favorite tattoo by far! And they both healed spectacularly.“

“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...“

“Took my daughter to get her septum pierced. She went in very shy and nervous, but came out feeling like a boss. Charlotte was the one that pierced her, and she couldn't have handled it better. There was no chit-chatting. It was all business (in a good way) and was over in less than a minute. She didn't give my daughter time to get worked up. She needed that. And when she saw the finished product in the mirror, she was ecstatic. Definitely seek out Charlotte at enigma.“

“Loved the piercings that I got. These are professionals that really know what they are doing!“

“Dianna and Kim are amazing! If you get the opportunity to meet them and receive a one of a kind amazing tattoo you will be beyond pleased! I may sit in Dianna's chair but Im so thankful to now call them lifelong friends! If they'll have me! Ive gotten four already and Im scheduled for another one.“

“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“

“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!“

“We got our youngest girl's ears pierced and everyone was fantastic. They did an amazing job of keeping her calm and thoroughly explained what was going to happen and how to care for her new earrings. Wonderful staff and an amazing experience.“

“I started my leg sleeve with Dylan, and the entire experience was great. Everyone i met and spoke with were super nice. Dylan is a great artist, from his design skills to just having a great personality. It made the entire experience great. I can't wait to come back and start the next session! I can't recommend Favle Tattoo Gallery enough to anyone that is looking for their next tattoo.“

“Katie has done two of my tattoos, and we just had a consultation for a third. She always listens carefully and is truly collaborative with me in the design process. I trust her expertise and artistry explicitly. Her work has held up phenomenally well (I take good care of it, but still...). I'm 50, and the piece she did for me 9 years ago is still mistaken regularly for being brand new. Can't wait to get the next one!!“

“Sean, aka Squirrel, tattooed the MOST PERFECT mushroom for me!! The entire staff was flippin AWESOME, and I can't wait to go back!
Thank you Sean, and thanks to the entire staff for such a great atmosphere and experience!!!“

“Linzi (I think that’s how you spell its) was so nice and did an amazing job. I went back to RCT because I got my septum pierced there 4 years ago and they never disappoint, it was a quick and easy process and I’m happy with my piercing.“

“I had a fantastic experience at Black Rabbit! I live 1 hour and 30 minutes away, but I wanted to make the trip to get a tattoo here because I was under the impression it was a safe and welcoming space. When I say it was exactly that, it was! The aethetic is top notch and everyone there was so nice.
I highly recommend coming here if you are nervous about your experience, especially with Raigan! She was so kind and patient and made my day.
10/10 would recommend!“

“Recently got tattoos with a group of friends. Excellent service, cool atmosphere and very accommodating! They were able to take us right away after black rabbit turned us down. The tattoos turned out amazing and my friends I are very happy. I would recommend coming here!“

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

“Terry was amazing! Had a fantastic first experience at the shop. The vibe at the whole place was great, will definitely be back!“

“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 could not have asked for a better experience at Unkindness. The store vibes were immaculate, and I came in with no appointment, but the artist Mandi was available all day so in an HOUR she drew this up. I’m genuinely so shocked someone can be this talented. Thank you Mandi for such an awesome piece of art and listening to my request with such patience and kindness. Booking another appointment ASAP“

“I had a really BAD tattoo experience back in Aug. of 2024. I loved my tat but he went waaaayyyy tooooo deep and caused blurring. The cause of the blurring was my reasoning. I went to Amy, today, with some suggestions to fix the blurring. I explained what I was thinking and she just drew, freehand, exactly what I described. I was nervous because of the excruciating pain of my tat back in Aug. She worked her magic and the pain level was 1 with a pain scale of 1-10. I barely noticed she was giving me a tattoo. My design is exquisite to my eye. The level of color is the exact same as my tat that hurt like an SOB back in Aug. Amy is a TRUE artist and is a gem on Cary Street in Richmond, Va.“
