Tattoo shops in Asheville

“Elena has the be the best most efficient piercers in Asheville, she is so sweet and calm but knows what she’s doing she made me feel super comfortable. I have always had anxiety about needles and piercings, I only have my ears pierced but I got my nostril and septum done in one sitting, she’s fast and placement is amazing. It did not hurt at all, I was shocked. 10/10 experience. My cousin has been going to her for most of her piercings and she is nothing but amazing.”

“I've been getting tattoos from Blake for a couple years now. He is the best. Everyone at this shop is incredible and super down to earth, genuine people. I get people asking about my pieces from Blake all the time and I always send them to Hot Stuff and recommend this shop to anyone. Hot Stuff is full of incredibly talented artists!!”

“I don't even know what to say. The whole experience was surprisingly surreal. I had my bridge done years ago at another shop, one thats well known in the area but has very mixed reviews. My bridge wouldn't heal. I tried for a year. Which could be a thousand and one different reasons, but I just chalked it up to knowing that bridge piercings had a higher rejection rate. I wanted to try it again, and I asked a friend for some recs. They made a rec for someone that wasnt available, and this was their second pick. I came in, I waited for the piercer to be ready. Once he was though, I wasnt in the room for more than 6 minutes, and most of that was marking the placement. I expressed my anxiety, I asked multiple questions about new factors, all of which was answered quickly, and with confidence. He confirmed I definitely had the anatomy and also expressed genuine shock at how deep it was the first time. He explained a few other things, but for the most part he seemed like he really thought it was the former piercer at the end of the day. Nothing to do with my anatomy or my aftercare. He had me lay down, explained the process and the why between everything. And I took a deep breath. And it was over. The first time I had this piercing I thought I would never get it redone if I ever had to because it was the worst pain id had over any other piercing. But it added even more credibility to the first time having been a botched job to begin with. I didn't sleep last night. I almost didn't come in today. But I am so glad I did. Its already swelled and given me a slight headache, obviously, but aside from that even right now it doesnt hurt near as bad as it did. It didnt bleed as bad. It didn't anything as bad. This was surreal. And professional. And by far the best piercing experience I have ever had, and I've had quite a few. Thank you so much for addressing all of my concerns, making sure I wasnt just heard but validated, helped – in a way you probably didnt realize at the time – take off some self blame I was carrying, and made this so easy.”
