Field notes
What locals say about Roanoke tattoo shops
Pulled from Google reviews of the top-rated shops in Roanoke.
“Joe was awesome, he took the time to understand what I was looking for and he made it come to life. Great place for a someone new to body modification or experienced canvases looking for new art to add to their collection.”
“I cannot recommend Kaitlyn (with a “K”) enough! She absolutely crushed this piece—her skill and attention to detail are next level!! The elephant design came out even better than I imagined, and she was super flexible and collaborative with suggestions throughout the process. Booking was easy and stress-free, and the shop itself has a clean, professional, and welcoming vibe that immediately puts you at ease. Kaitlyn was not only professional but also incredibly personable, which made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. If you’re looking for an artist who combines technical excellence with creativity and a great personality, Kaitlyn is the one. 10/10, would recommend to anyone looking for high-quality work in a great environment.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Daniel Jones at Asylum. He did a full sleeve on my left arm and also pulled off an incredible cover-up over a devil tattoo I had. The detail, creativity, and precision he puts into his work is unmatched — you can tell he truly cares about every piece he creates. But it wasn’t just about the tattoos. Through the whole process I didn’t just walk away with some amazing ink — I walked away with a brother. The vibe, professionalism, and energy Daniel brings to the chair makes the experience one-of-a-kind. At this point, I won’t let anyone else touch me with ink. If you’re looking for an artist who takes pride in his craft, can handle tough cover-ups, and makes the entire experience unforgettable, Daniel is your guy.”
