Best Tattoo Shops In Virginia Beach

“My husband and I went to see Vii!

A few weeks ago i called in to find an artist who does finger tattoos and who could get there early, we drive over an hour to get there.

As soon as you walk in you are greeted with art and friendly faces which is awesome! We were immediately taken care of and answered all our questions.

Vii came over in the most awesome hair!! Rainbows and also gave us smiles. We showed her our inspo. She came back with several ideas!

During the process. She made it very comfortable and she was not heavy handed which was awesome!! My husband and i had a blast getting matching wedding ring tattoos.

Vi’s station was very clean, she was a professional, she was a great communicator! Every needs a tattoo from Vii! I’m already planning my next one!

Check this place out! Its awesome!!“

“Clair is the best! Took time before my brow procedure to explain everything. Was very professional and kept me informed what she was doing. She took a lot of time mapping to make sure they looked great. Highly recommend.“

“What an amazing experience!
Stacey and Crystal are a magical team working with young girls to make them feel calm, comfortable and uniquely special while getting their ears pierced.

I took my 10 yr old with her friend for their first ear piercing on Sunday. We arrived at the noon opening and were numbers 8 and 9 on the piercing list. I was a bit disappointed about the wait but was prepared for it. Once we were called to back we immediately knew the wait was worthwhile.

Stacey and Crystal are obsessively sanitary, great at explaining the piercing process and their actions, conscientious of the earring sizing, thorough in analyzing the placement on lobes and… SO much fun!

(Confession: I was planning on going to a mall kiosk. I’m so happy we went to Whisky River instead!)“

“I had the absolute best experience with Joe Weber! I was emotional, coming in for scar coverup across my forearm, but he was so kind and understanding and is just one of the most incredible people, alongside being amazingly talented. He took the ideas I had for my tattoo and brought them to life in spades… I will definitely be back for future tattoos with him.

I didn’t expect to get as emotional as I did. I ended up crying while he tattooed the scarred areas themselves and let him know after a while that I couldn’t handle coming back in again after this. That whatever was left, that would be it, because it was just too hard… So this amazing human actually stayed around 2 hours past closing to make sure I left with a fully finished piece.

Also, all of the flowers and vines were fully hand drawn! He lined everything up in the best way, even camouflaging a scar that was raised, using the placement and shading to create something absolutely perfect. I still feel so emotional looking down, seeing the beautiful art instead of the painful memories that would be brought up before I’d gotten this tattoo.

It’s been 2 weeks now, and it has healed beautifully ? Attaching pictures both from that night and a few from now that it’s healed. I need to put on lotion, so it’s a little dry at the moment, but it’s perfect. Everything was tattooed by him except the snail on my wrist and the little ghost!

I could not recommend this space (and Joe Weber specifically) enough. It was an amazing experience, especially for something so vulnerable and sensitive ?“

“Every artist is absolutely amazing. Vex is my go to, treats me fantastically and is a sweet heart that’s super understanding. I’ve had work done by Harper as well, and she was very understanding and helpful. I’m eager to get something done by everyone else in the studio. I constantly recommend the place to people who ask, partners, family, roommates, coworkers, strangers. It’s my absolute go to. The atmosphere is so sophisticated and lovely. I cannot suggest them more than this. Go get booked (:!!!!“

“Celebrating 42 trips around the sun! I finally took the plunge and got the tattoo I've always wanted. I’m a crazy plant lady, so I decided id pay a little homage to my obsession. No words can describe how much I love my new piece. @kariartdesu is incredibly talented and was such pleasure to work with. I can’t wait to go back for something new. If you’re looking to get some botanical ink done this is the place to do it.“

“Everyone here is absolutely amazing and so nice. Not only are they great at tattooing but also great at making people feel comfortable and like they're at home. The prices are also the best you'll get anywhere. This shop brings out such an amazing community to be around and everyone is just so genuine. I love it here“

“Ashton beebe did a tattoo on my forearm for me and came out fantastically!! I was very happy with how it turned out and so happy in fact I booked another session with him“

“Karma was so sweet to talk to and very talented for 20 years of experience! You Definitely want to take a trip if you visit the beach“

“Without a doubt one of my favorite tattoos. Walker is an amazing artist and was attentive to my requests. He is very humble and will definitely book with him again.“

“Voted the best tattooer in Virginia by Virginia tattooers at the Richmond tattoo and arts festival. Ande Chambers alongside Vall, Mondo and Gonzo work to create tattoos that will stand the test of time.“

“My wife and I have been getting tattoos from Ghost ship for a while and the artists here are amazing at what they do. My wife got 3 tattoos here and they all turned out great. I've been working with Cliff on a half sleeve on my left arm and I get compliments all the time on how cool it looks. Still a work in progress but Cliff is making it look great.“

“Anna Strangebird is amazing! Not only does she listen and gets the tattoo perfect but she also holds great conversations too. I have 3 tattoos from her and I love them all! I will keep going back to her, I think anyone reading this should consider their next tattoo to be with her. Thank you Anna you are amazing! (Flower done by Anna not the stars)“

“Great service every time, and easy to set up an appointment. I've had my entire elbow to wrist done here and it's been a great experience with reasonable prices. Ask for Najee if you can, he does amazing work!“

“Originally from the area and came back for a visit, so glad they were able to fit us in! We brought a design we loved, and Kyle added his own creative twist to make it even better. Couldn’t be happier with the result!“

“JC was great! Super nice guy who was funny and kind to my friends and I! Tattoo work was also fire and great for a walk in!“

“I got a tattoo 8 years ago and loved the work. Through IG, I found my artist who did that tattoo and where he was tattooing these days. (@chris_h_art_ink) Now called Seven Cities Tattoo Co., my artist, --Chris H.-- did my *two* new tattoos. He squeezed me in on a Saturday and gave me a beautiful chrysanthemum tattoo. We couldn't finish the other flowers as we ran out of time, but he didn't leave it incomplete. I messaged him halfway through the next week with a question about the healing process. He answered my questions thoroughly, and then mentioned he had an opening the following Saturday to finish up the tattoo if I wanted, and of course I took the opportunity. He finished my tattoo up with a beautiful arrangement of gladiolus! He didn't block it off either, so if I want to add more, I could (most definitely will!). He listened to my requests of no harsh black outlines and that I wanted it in the same manner of my previous 8 year tattoo. He asked what colors I was thinking and went from there. Definitely trust the process. I am beyond thrilled with the work. Chris was really nice and kind, and very realistic and practical about the whole process from booking to aftercare. The shop has great vibes and it's very calm. The decor is fun and whimsical, the tattoo area is spaced out nicely, and you can watch them clean the areas up after they're done so you know it's clean. I enjoyed my experience here, and I'll keep coming back so long as Chris is here.“

“I’d give 10 if I could! Honestly Raven was so sweet and meticulous with putting in my double nose piercings. She took the time to answer my questions and help find the right jewelry for me. If she reads this, I want her to know how important she is in shops like these because before stopping in this shop I had previously been in two other shops where I was not extended the same kindness and patience she had shown me. I literally walked out on one shop because the guy was so rude to me. Raven, you are a piercing goddess ✨? keep changing the industry ?“

“Top Notch! Oily was amazing to work with. Two of our three were newbies. He was patient and explained everything, made us all very comfortable. Exceptional attention to detail and line work. A true talent!“

“My wife and I just had the most amazing experience getting matching tattoos in Virginia Beach! We walked in on a whim, and the artist quickly brought our design to life. In just about an hour, we had our ink and a new memory to cherish forever! It was a spontaneous adventure that made our trip unforgettable!“

“I can't say enough good things about Antonio Almanzan at Supreme Styles Tattoo. He’s done several of my tattoos, and every single experience has been top-notch. Antonio is professional, respectful, and incredibly courteous. His attention to cleanliness and hygiene is unmatched, and he creates a warm, welcoming environment that instantly puts you at ease.

He just did my latest piece on Sunday, June 1st, and once again, he exceeded my expectations. Not only is his work amazing, but he’s also so down-to-earth—it really makes the whole tattoo experience that much better.

If you’re looking for someone who’s talented, detail-oriented, and truly cares about your comfort and satisfaction, Antonio is the best. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my ink!“

“David Stewart patiently explained options and gave us perfect matching tattoos to celebrate our 50 th wedding anniversary!
Great experience for my husband and I.“
