What locals say about Virginia Beach tattoo shops
Pulled from Google reviews of the top-rated shops in Virginia Beach.
“My husband and I went to see Vii! A few weeks ago i called in to find an artist who does finger tattoos and who could get there early, we drive over an hour to get there. As soon as you walk in you are greeted with art and friendly faces which is awesome! We were immediately taken care of and answered all our questions. Vii came over in the most awesome hair!! Rainbows and also gave us smiles. We showed her our inspo. She came back with several ideas! During the process. She made it very comfortable and she was not heavy handed which was awesome!! My husband and i had a blast getting matching wedding ring tattoos. Vi’s station was very clean, she was a professional, she was a great communicator! Every needs a tattoo from Vii! I’m already planning my next one! Check this place out! Its awesome!!”
“I'm from Annapolis, MD So I decided to get my 20th tattoo in VA Beach. I was a bit nervous about making the appointment since I was in a different state and had to explain what I wanted over the phone. However they were polite, willing and able to make everything work. I was tattooed by Tommy and in my head I was already telling myself to be focused and ready cause this was gonna be a painful one. For the most part I honestly barely felt a thing through that 4-Hour session. On top of that, the tattoo came out great! I have one more session to go but I definitely want to post what I have so far. This statue of Poseidon that he did.”
“Neias is a visiting artist currently in studio who does amazing work. He’s professional, kind and immensely talented. The shop is everything I want a shop to be, clean, welcoming, great playlist, comfortable and the staff all seemed like an exceptional bunch of people. I initially stopped over at the location off little creek to inquire about a couple tattoos I have that needed some possible cover up/ updating work and the artist there was forthcoming and informative knowing my best bet was with Neias who specializes in cover up work. Making the drive there was more than worth it. Within a few hours Neias had turned two tattoos that felt out of place, blown out and dated into something that I feel is timeless, beautiful and better represents my vibe. I know this is long but I can’t praise the shop or Neias enough. Talking to people who are so passionate about their work, and about supporting the community of creatives was a positive experience. If you’re able to get work done by Neias don’t hesitate. He and the BHS are fantastic and worthy of your support.”
