The septum piercing I got here is super crooked. Also, it was implied i was a wuss during the appointment because I was nervous about the pain. For aftercare, he just had no idea. He gave me some "tattoo soap" to use, which I later found out was not something I should be using for my septum. I ended up in the ER with an infection because I unknowingly wasn't cleaning it right.
As a chill millenial I really hate leaving bad reviews, but I can't let this one go.

Los is my favorite artist in Durham! He does amazing work at reasonable prices, in a large, clean, professional studio. I have two pieces by him so far, the Pikachu on my shoulder and an amazing sternum piece (not pictured). I will be back for more. Definitely recommend!

Recently visited this studio with a’couple friends for some piercings (and a spur of the moment tattoo). Studio was super cool, & clean and all of our (four) piercings were done in the blink of an eye. Would definitely recommend this place for your next body modification!!

I had a really good experience at Ink Still Dripping. It looked like I was the last customer of the day & he waited for me to get there. I had my nose pierced twice on one side. He pierced them so quickly, I barely felt it. I would highly recommend Ink Still Dripping.

Booked an appointment for 12:30 got there at 12pm . No one at the establishment. That’s not good business first impression should always be your best so I rate this experience as zero. But he was genuinely enough to send my deposit back.

Would give Los a 6 star rating if I could
Not only is his work awesome but he is the only late nighter in the Triangle. He did the DNR tattoos (one in each elbow) over two years ago amd they still look brand new. The other picture is a Pearl Jam quote he did today in under 10 minutes and it looks awesome. With over 30 tattoos of my own I felt completely safe and comfortable that his place is exceptionally clean, the equipment is sterile, yet the atmosphere is funky and fun

Booked through the website ( which doesn't have a good set up ) to get a nose piercing and was confused on even how to acquire the services. Set up an appointment, he never arrived at his own establishment until after I left. ( stayed outside for an hour, from 11 - Noon ). During which I attempted contact through multiple mediums. To which I received no response until after I had already vacated the premises.
Once I'm in contact, he suggests I can arrive at any time during the same day to make up for the appointment. When I reach out to confirm, the response time was after an hour or two.
Finally arrive and when I walk in he's on the phone with the conversation on speaker. Discussing how painful nose piercings can be. Once I sit in the chair, I become a bit nervous and ask to pause for a second only for him to say to me, " Man up ". Then does the piercing before I even have a chance to respond.
After the piercing, I ask what do I need to do to take care of the piercing. This man says.. go to Tik Tok.

I went for my first tattoo and didn't give much advance notice. Ink Still Dripping made room for me in their schedule. I had visited several tattoo shops in the area and found some to be outdated and not that clean. Ink Still Dripping was light, modern and spotless. My artist looked at the design I brought in and suggested some improvements which were spot on!! This was exactly the advice and expertise I was looking for. It was done quickly and looks absolutely amazing!! He also fixed my friends botched tattoo! Highly recommended. I'm a first responder and he took great care of me in service, price and quality.
Update, I went back for my 2nd and third. Same great service, pricing and express availability. Other shops in the area aren't as willing to assist at short notice. Great communication from Los.

Carlos the tattooist has a pleasant attitude, clean studio, and my experience was a good one. Me and my sister both received a great tattoo from Carlos!!
This is my third tattoo from him and he also pierced my friends!!!
He will also give you aftercare directions on how to take care of your tat or piercing....I have recommended him to many of my friends♡♡♡♥♥. you can tell he loves what he does!
3 years later and I'm still receiving wonderful tattoos from Los! I'm thinking about getting a piercing - only because the jewelry selections are insane!!!!
Conversation is ALWAYS an experience w/ LOS - keep up the GREAT work.
