Best Tattoo Shops In Roanoke

“I’ve been going here for about 3 years now and I see Dusty, she is so awesome and does such amazing work. This is by far the best tattoo shop I have ever been to, everyone is so welcoming and kind. Everyone that works here is so talented and if anyone ever asks me where to get tattooed I always recommend Bad Wave.“

“Beyond pleased with Sati Piercing! Materials are properly sterilized with a very welcoming & clean facility. In-house jewelry is great quality & beautiful. My daughter had her top ear cartilage done & I had my nipples done (I must say, ADORABLE!). Akio was extremely professional/respectful while my upper body was exposed & made sure I was comfortable throughout the piercing process. He sticks quick which is absolutely appreciated! Kind sir also educated my daughter as she wanted to go too big for her 1st piercing (of course!). Super cool, easy-to-get-along with guy who will most certainly put a smile on your face! Im looking for more things to pierce so I can make another trip!“

“Eric took my ideas and turned them into an amazing tattoo piece and added so much meaning to the original inspiration . He was very detailed in his work and wanted the tattoo to represent more than what I could have imagined. He nailed it! I Would go to him for my next tat and Highly suggest for you to check him out if you are looking for your next tattoo.“

“Joey and Melissa are absolutely amazing!!!! Joey is an extremely talented tattoo artist. After having an awful experience with a tattoo artist in the past, Joey completely transformed the mess into my vision. ??? He was so proffesional, and had the lightest hand. I barely felt 70% of the tattoo. I went from being absolutely traumatized and terrified of being tattooed again, to being excited about getting more work done. Thank you all at Maiden and Crow ?“

“Teddy is the best around. Experienced tattoo artist, down to earth, talented & VERY fair prices. Ancient Art is the ORIGINAL SW VA/Roanoke tattoo shop. Been coming around for almost 20 years. Never failed me once.“

“This is the place to go for tattoo removal! Sarah is amazing at her job. She create such a safe and comfortable environment. Would recommend her to anyone who needs it done!!“

“The shop is clean, welcoming, relaxing and a fun atmosphere. The staff treat you professionally but it still feels like you are visited old friends. The variety of styles and talent mean just about anything is possible and they will take all the time you need to discuss options and create designs for you. These folks have mad skills when it comes to taking a description of a design and bringing it to life in a sketch and then a tattoo. I really can’t recommend them enough.“

“Awesome people. Friendly and caring. Cozy place. Love the decor. Really shows how well rounded in art these guys are. Sat for a session with Tay Tay. She is very sweet and we had great conversation while she worked on my custom hand piece. She knows her stuff. Got the top of my hand done and it didn't hurt at all. Came out exactly the way I wanted it to. Tatman and ink Floyd are also amazing. They both worked on beautiful pieces while I was there. Very professional group of guys and gals. I will def be going back!!“

“Went in to get my earlobes pierced. I was nervous but Janelle did a wonderful job! It was quick and the pain wasn’t too bad. They know what they’re doing and pierce with a needle instead of using a piercing gun. The shop is kept clean and the staff is knowledgeable. I was very happy with the experience and would definitely come back if I want more piercings!“

“Roger did an amazing job reworking a tattoo that I was unhappy with. He took something I was ashamed of and made it into something I couldn't wait to show off. And he's much nicer than I expected :)“

“Came for a septum piercing on my 36th birthday and left with the piercing and a tattoo. :)
Mikey did the piercing. It was quick and healed up beautifully.
Nate did a tattoo for my co-teacher and I. The pic is from the day after - they healed well and look great!
I am positive I will be back soon.“

“So completely thrilled with my new tattoo!! Brandon was awesome. The detail and design are just what I envisioned!! Thank you!!“
