6801 Backlick Rd Ste C, Springfield“Mason was incredible. I had been searching for the right artist to do a couple really important pieces for me for years, since they’re detailed and meticulous, and then finally landed on Mason. He took his time, was really patient, extremely professional and cool. Hands down, I’ve literally never had a steadier hand tattoo me, he is ridiculously precise and a perfectionist. (Literally looked like printed on me, it’s crazy) Absolutely hilarious too. He brought my idea to life better than I ever imagined it could be, his input and opinions on things are top tier, he just has that gift/talent and it shows! My whole family gets their tats with him and i recommend him a million times over. Also the shop in general is the coolest/chillest atmosphere, my face hurt from laughing all day!
Stop researching shops and stop pushing it off, book Mason. You won’t regret it.
Thank you Mason and Jasmine, you guys are awesome and I wish you all the best! See you soon for more ink!“

6118 Franconia Rd suite 200-C, Franconia“Finally got the itch to get a a half leg sleeve that I've been thinking about for a couple of years. Came across this shop because it was across the street from the house... Saw that it was black owned, saw that their work was top tier, glad that I finally got on the schedule. Sat down with Corey (IG: @BACK2DR.INK) for a little over 6 hours and he captured my home state Illinois and the African-American female Essence perfectly. The whole shop is a Vibe so I definitely recommend stopping thru, especially on the weekends where the scene is usually like a kickback with good music and good friends.“

He was accommodating to my requests and questions, but also advised me on size and placement and I love how it turned out. I feel very proud walking around with a true piece of art on my arm! Will definitely be back.“

25 S Quaker Ln Suite 7, Alexandria“David is an amazing artist! He did my first tattoo and I couldn’t be happier. I came in with a concept and he modified the design and made it so much better. David knocked the tattoo out of the park and I’m extremely happy with the results. I will definitely work with David again. Very pleasant experience and nice shop with friendly staff. If you’re looking for an extremely detailed realism piece, ask for David. Highly recommend this shop if you’re looking for a great tattoo!“

She was able to match my favorite lippies and make my DREAM SHADE. This is the best cosmetic treatment I’ve ever decided to do and if you’re considering you need to book with her!!“

It was a rather personal appt and I walked out feeling like I got the care and services I needed! Thanks you guys ?“

2813 Clarendon Boulevard, Arlington“Gotta say my first tatoo appointment by Gilda was amazing. She opened and set her station up in front of me. She was knowledgeable, clean, friendly. I have a sunflower that I am going to turn into a sleeve and I made the best choice in tattoo shop and artist would recommend to anyone.
The shops front office staff was polite and very patient and the overall theme of the shop is artistic but also very clean and sanitary I recommend for any first time tattoo appointments. Both my artist Gilda and the receptionist went over maintenance how it would feel, how to take care of with written pre printed instructions. Not to mention Gilda had my tattoo ready and when it was done it was exactly what I had in mind.
Definitely will be making an appointment in the future for a sleeve.“

5510 Cherokee Ave Suite N27 (3rd Floor, Alexandria“UPDATED 3 months later:
The guy pierced my septum, not the woman. He totally pierced me incorrectly. After 3 months and a lot of research, he did not pierce the correct spot and it is not healing properly. I’m all about having someone practice on me, but the woman should have double checked if she is the one with the experience, and more importantly, the license. Had to take out the piercing today because it hurts so bad and I take very good care of it.
Got my septum pierced today. Service was awesome, piercing was quick and amazing. Very clean spot also.“

2672M Avenir Pl, Vienna“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.“

6134 N Kings Hwy, Alexandria“My partner and I were out on date night when she randomly said, “Let’s get a tattoo.”
We checked a few spots, some were closing, others just didn’t have the best energy. But then we found High Five Tattoo… and everything shifted.
From the moment we walked in, John (the owner) greeted us with respect and genuine care. We weren’t exactly sure what we wanted, but instead of rushing us, he grabbed his sketch pad and helped bring our ideas to life, showing us what worked and what didn’t. No pressure. No impatience. Just real conversation and guidance from start to finish.
We’ll definitely be back! If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo, stop in and check them out. I’m sure John and his team will take great care of you.“
