The Gay Penguin Tattoo & Piercing in Wilmington

If I could give 10 stars I most definitely would the tattoo I got turned out amazing and exactly what I imagined! I would give another 10 stars just for how awesome their personality’s are! I felt so comfortable and secure there and it was so easy to talk to everyone there!! Definitely will send people their way and I will return when I come back to the area! Absolutely loved every minute of my experience there!

Primary form of contact is IG. I called couldn't leave a message so I dm them. They didn't respond for 18 days. Got a piercing somewhere else.

Since i’ve moved here, I have been looking for a consistent artist. I am confident in my decision to come back consistently when i need tats done, thanks to Sabrina! She made the environment & space comfortable for me and it was the best tattoo experience i’ve had in long time!

Incredibly helpful and supportive of me getting my first tattoo and was certain to make sure i liked the position and i was comfortable during it as well as informing me of the aftercare and answering any questions i had

Visiting from outta town & we had a spur of the moment to go get a tattoo. We couldn’t have picked a better place. Everyone was SO friendly, so sweet & genuine. Even with it being 11pm, they took us in no problem with exactly what we wanted. Rose was amazing & Bryan was so sweet! Thank y’all again!!!

I had such a great experience here! I had some time after work, so I went in as a walk-in and was taken care of right away. I got a smaller tattoo, and it turned out exactly how I wanted ; I could not be more pleased with it! Everyone there was so friendly and made me feel super welcome. The vibe was top tier and the shop was really clean. Can’t wait to come back!

Rose pierced my nose a few months ago and did my flash tattoo yesterday. They were so attentive and made sure I was comfortable. I was also thankful they were the one to suggest moving the stencil after the first try. I’ve been met with attitude about that from other places in the past. Thank you!! Will return 🤠

We loved it! Definitely driving 4 hours for a tattoo next time. My mom is deaf, and Brian treated her like she was just a regular person, I love that so much, normally we don’t get that kind of response. 10/10 recommend this place ❤️

This is an amazing shop filled with the most awesome people!! This felt like a community of like-minded and kind-hearted people with great skills. Love the place, love my new tattoo!

Maya is absolutely amazing! I love her, her work, and her genuine personality:-) She is a true artist:-) She did a wonderful job on mine and my boyfriend’s tattoos. Her work is crisp, neat, and quick too! She tattoos like a lady; she had a very gentle touch which added to the overall great experience! She rocks!! Definitely book with her:-)))
