Old Crescent Tattoo Studio

I could never recommend this place enough. I got my first big piece from Justin back in November and I loved it so much I come back every couple of months to add to the sleeve. Super talented guys; all of them have amazing portfolios. Not only that, but they're also just so nice and respectful. They have created a super clean and comfortable environment, and I always enjoy getting to go back!

I got the most stunning piece from Justin. You can see the attached picture. Everything about my experience was stellar. The studio itself is beautiful and extremely hygienic. The actual tattoo couldn't have come out better. Justin really listened to what I was interested in, and put his own fingerprint on the design to make it his own too. I love the style and vision he has for neo traditional work.

I I couldn't more highly recommend Old Crescent and Justin.

I love this place! After moving to Charlotte in 2020, I was in need of finding a fantastic new artist and found Scott, the owner, and couldn’t be happier! So far I’ve gotten three pieces, one of which was of my dog (which I wouldn’t trust just anyone to do) and plan on getting many more. As a woman, sometimes it’s intimidating walking into a new tattoo shop for the first time, but not the case at Old Crescent. The shop is open, bright and clean and everyone is so friendly. The prices are on point as well, as I’ve have quite a few tattoos from several different artists and know what to expect. I’ll continue to come here for my tattoos as long as their doors are open. Thanks again Scott!

Love this place so much. Always so professional and friendly. Scott did my first tattoo and I’ve gone back to him ever since. Recommend him and the shop to all my friends and anyone that asks about my tattoos. Already planning my next tattoo with him!

One of the best tattoo experiences I've had! The shop is clean and the staff is friendly. Justin created this beautiful piece based off ideas I gave him. He was very gentle handed and listened when I needed a break! 10/10 recommend this shop and Justin!

My tattoo did not come out the way it was supposed to. When I arrived the drawning did not look like what I wanted. The white in my tat disappeared. Right after that tattoo before the ink disappeared I tried to schedule another. Glad I didn't. Went to another artist 3 weeks later and the white stayed. Apparently Scott doesn't know how to tattoo melanated people. Also, Scott tried to over charge me on the second tat after seeing my car, jewelry and clothes. As well Scott was stand-off and distant. I do not recommend this shop.
In response: We discussed in detail the tat before in person with pics at the shop. We communicated in person and via IG. If there were any confusion on tat a simple text would have surficed. The drawing eventually was approved however a wolf is not a cat and that was the draft. Also you did not tell me the white may fade. I overheard you mention that to the apprentice but it was not mentioned to me however the last artist got it right. As well when I asked for a quote for the additional tat, the quote was more for a small tat with way less detail that took another artist 2 hrs to complete as you were trying to charge me more than the wolf that took longer. When I asked why you told me I should probably use a different shop as I was happy to do. I think if one messed up they should take responsibility not pawn mistakes off as if there's no room for growth. However no hard feelings and good luck.

Old Crescent is an awesome business with great people. The shop is super clean and well decorated with welcoming fun people to be around. I cant stress enough how squared away, organized and clea. This place is to other shops. Scott did a great job designing my tattoo and the whole experience was awesome. Thanks for the great tattoo experience.

Had an awesome experience at Crescent. The inside is very clean and well kept, all the guys that work there are great people. I am very pleased with my tattoo of "wu kong" and Justin did an amazing job. I will be coming back here and you can tell they're very experienced, very pleased:]

I personally have received two tattoos from Justin at Old Crescent Tattoo and could not be more pleased with their value, professionalism, cleanliness and the most important THE TATTOO! I also have two friends and my spouse who has used Old Crescent and they are truly some of the best in the business. Justin, Scott, and Alex are top notch.

If you are looking for a tattoo these dudes are transparent and a joy to work with. Plus, they will put some wicked sweet art on you! 12/10 recommend Old Crescent.

Highly recommend Justin at Old Crescent Tattoo shop. I got my first arm tattoo and was pretty nervous but he was very nice and gentle. Super talented. The tattoo shop was very clean and everyone there was friendly and nice. Definitely recommend this tattoo studio.
