What locals say about Fairfax tattoo shops
Pulled from Google reviews of the top-rated shops in Fairfax.
“I just finished 3 sessions with Jorge and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I was nervous due to the size of the piece, but Jorge was incredibly compassionate and professional, he made me feel completely at ease. He took the time to work with me on the details and truly brought my ideas to life. The entire staff was also very welcoming and friendly, which made the experience even better. The level of artistry and detail in my tattoo is absolutely stunning, I’m beyond amazed with the outcome. I traveled three hours for this piece, and I would gladly do it again for work of this caliber.”
“Shout out to Laura, what a badass she is. I had a conch piercing done at another shop in MD; the jewelry had been stuck in my ear for months and I could not remove it on my own. We had a bit of a hard time getting it out the classic way with hemostats- so she brought out these gnarly nippers to actually cut the bar in half- which was quick and painless!!! If you have a stuck bar, see Laura she will treat you right. Her studio is also really user friendly with squishmallows and fidget toys to keep your hands busy while she works her magic, candy on the side incase your blood sugar drops, and her bench is good to lay on if you tend to get lightheaded like I do. I plan on coming back to get piercings by her in the near future. 10/10 will come again :D”
“I’ve gotten multiple piercings and a tattoo at Dixer and they have always been extremely professional, yet very kind and casual. My tattoo and piercings have turned out great, and they’re amazing for beginners who are scared/new to body modification. Definitely recommend!! Kaylee was my tattoo artist and was amazing!! Very clean work and I highly suggest going with her!”
