Field notes

What locals say about Norfolk tattoo shops

Pulled from Google reviews of the top-rated shops in Norfolk.

“If you walk into this shop for a piercing and a tall, lanky guy calls your name, you’ve hit the jackpot. The overall atmosphere is very chill, clean, and neat. Green did my nostril today, and he put me at ease immediately. He talked me through the procedure, was extremely focused on hygiene, but also on my comfort. He was rooting for me to do better than 7yo, and I think I did him proud! My sister recommended this shop, as my nephew had his piercings done here, and I’m so very happy I came here! If you want a piercing, don’t go anywhere else.”
Elizabeth Stevens on Artisan Body Piercing and Tattoo
“I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the exceptional service I received from Zach. He did an awesome job with my septum piercing! Even though I had my septum pierced before and it had been over a year since I took it out, Zach took the time to check if he could reopen it. He mentioned a technical term for this process, but I can't recall it at the moment. After his examination, he concluded that it would be better to pierce it again. The entire process was incredibly smooth and professional, and Zach's expertise was evident throughout. I also want to highlight the front desk receptionist, who was very kind, friendly, and awesome as well. The overall experience was a solid 10/10, and I can't wait until the end of August to come back to Zach for him to switch my horse shoe to the bull ring (clamp). I don't recall the exact name, but I hope you know what I mean!😄 Thank you again for the fantastic service, and I look forward to my next visit.”
