I had a fantastic experience at Black Rabbit! I live 1 hour and 30 minutes away, but I wanted to make the trip to get a tattoo here because I was under the impression it was a safe and welcoming space. When I say it was exactly that, it was! The aethetic is top notch and everyone there was so nice. I highly recommend coming here if you are nervous about your experience, especially with Raigan! She was so kind and patient and made my day. 10/10 would recommend!

MAK is awesome. Finally was able to catch up with Papi for a tattoo and I was completely satisfied with my overall experience. Thank you.

My daughter and I have been visiting tattoo shops in our area, getting ready to get new tattoos in the next couple of months. Black rabbit has great reviews online but boy did we have a terrible first experience! We walked in, 3 girls sitting at the counter. The girl in the middle said “ how can we help you.” My daughter said that we were looking for a new artist for her next tattoo. She said she was excited about their shop because she really wanted a female to do her next tattoo. I’m not sure how that was offensive but the girl said “we prefer to be called a queer shop.” I’m pretty sure the sign on the front of the store that says “girls, girls, girls”means they have female artists and service females right? From that moment on she was condescending and rude and not at all interested in what kind of tattoos we wanted. I just shut up and put my phone away with my inspiration picture I was going to show them. My daughter tried to be polite and started explaining what she wanted. The young lady continued to be curt and clearly not interested. She just said to look at their website. Interesting that on their website they clearly state there is “ no judgement” in their shop when we were judged terribly. So you assumed we aren’t queer I guess and I guess we can’t get a tattoo from you because of that? What the hell! Maybe your artists do great tattoos but that was a terrible way to treat people. And the 2 girls sitting around her never said a word or even looked up. One of them had a little smile on her face like she was amused by all this. Obviously we won’t be going there and I will make sure all my friends know what we think of this shop.

Hello! I just wanted to give a shoutout to Tosha. I came into Black Rabbit from MANY recommendations with people around Richmond. I am a blank canvas and just wanted information since I’ve never got a tattoo. She was super friendly and helpful, answered all my questions very patiently, and helped me get in touch with two artists I look forward to working with in the future. After being treated like I was a bit stupid in other locations I won’t mention her service was impeccable and it was a breath of fresh air. Will definitely be doing my business here in the future not only cause of the reputation of the artists but also because of Tosha. Thanks!

Roman Hammerheart Tattoos there gave me the best experience durning my cover-up. I can't tell you enough how much it changed my life. I now am happy to show off this absolutely gorgeous piece everywhere I go!

Black Rabbit is a really welcoming and neat shop where all the tattoo artists are talented. I decided to work with Alyssa and I couldn't have been happier. While it's never number one on my list to have my tattoo artist be friendly and personable, it is important to me to be able to have an artist I can feel comfortable being around for 6+ hours. Alyssa was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. She made what can definitely be an uncomfortable process into something that went by pretty quickly, despite not being very quick at all. As for the art she did, Alyssa doesn't do art that's 1 to 1. Instead, she keeps the essence of the tattoo and keeps true to the character she's working on, but she adds her own flair to make them adorable. I personally love kawai, chibi, cute tattoos and my new Rosalina and Luma tattoo from Alyssa still managed to exceed my expectations. It came out way better than I could have pictured in my head. I'm blown away and upset with myself for not going sooner. If you'd like to not make the same mistake that I did, book with Alyssa or check out her work on Instagram (RisuTattoo)

I had a wonderful experience getting tattooed by EK! He was super friendly and awesome to talk to, and honestly I think the work speaks for itself! Also, it was super easy to book with him and he was awesome enough to stay late to accommodate to my schedule. I’m definitely coming back!
