Jinx Proof Tattoos

I got my very first tattoo ever with Tony. I was nervous, but it looks great, its healing well, no complications. The service was quick and not very painful :) He also made sure I was okay with the placement and gave me advice when I asked questions.

My girlfriend just posted a negative review (the 3 stars) however we wanted to follow up and say no disrespect to MJ and the person working the front desk. MJ was extremely professional, personable, and welcoming and I genuinely love my tattoo. While we were disappointed with the negative aspects of my girlfriend’s experience, we were both happy with mine.

I do not normally write negative reviews, but this place honestly was a let down. When I travel, I often time get tattoos for it’s an incredible way to meet some amazing artists within the community. Tonight at Jinx, a series of incidences occurred that really put a bad taste in my mouth overall: 1. The artist did not introduce himself nor even ask me my name as a formal introduction (common courtesy) when coming out to snag me. Did not acknowledge any part of the fact it was an hour past the appointment start time (I get it things happen). 2. Came in to the tattoo with literally no verification of placement and while tattooing said no more than 2 words to me. 3. Waited over an hour past my scheduled time when I showed up 30 mins early to confirm the time of the appointment was still on. Overall, my experience wasn’t what I expected in the slightest from such a highly spoken of shop. Person running the front desk was excellent and personable. Tattoo came out clean, but being my 24th tattoo, my expectations were definitely underwhelmed on this one.

Great place for TATTOOS! I got tattooed by Liana Joy (my own design that I drew myself). Piercings...meh? My septum was done incorrectly and she went through cartilage. It never healed so I had to remove it and get it re-pierced by a more reputable piercer.

Best and safe place in DC to get tattoos and piercing. They dont only do a great job, but also give great advice.

It's a nice shop with really friendly front of house staff. I highly suggest Mary Funderburk! My 2 sisters and I got Powerpuff Girls tattoos done by Mary. I did have to send my inquiry to the shop twice, but they did accommodate all three of us with back to back appointments on the only day my sisters were in town. So it may be worth giving them some time to respond. We are all very happy with our tattoos. As first-timers, Mary explained everything and was very patient throughout the whole time. Her suggestions on sizing and color were perfect. I'll be back!

I won't go anywhere else! Tad is such a phenomenal artist and never ceases to amaze me with how great my tattoos turn out. All of the staff there are wonderful and always make me feel like family!

Go see Tad Peyton! I have two tattoos from Jinx Proof, everything you could want in a tattoo shop (clean, professional, and great artists).

I had my nose pierced today now I for got the young lady name but I have to say this has been by far best service I’ve ever had she it so fast I didn’t even feel anything I love my nose piercing Next time I’m getting the hoop piercing put in thank you for the service you guys yaw all rock stars in my book

Certain it's a great shop with great artists. But after 2 months of back-and-forth emails sometimes with no responses we still haven't determined a date.

I walked in after passing this place on a Saturday night and now I’m a huge fan. A super last minute walk in, but the staff was incredibly kind and got my request down right away. Nico hooked me up with my Gandalf symbol tattoo super quick while also taking his time to make sure it’s exactly where/what I wanted. Had fantastic conversation throughout, and left afterwards thinking about my next visit.

Visited Jinx Proof to get a very old ear lobe piercing (which was done at a different place) fixed as it just wouldn't heal. Karl was awesome and quickly tapered the piercing. The process was fast, painless and really helped!

I got my belly button pierced, went with some friends, the piercer will turn down about 75% of people for septum piercings because of their anatomy where as other places won’t, presumably because it’s harder to pierce, anyways the bar they put in was too small and irritating my piercing, I came after and asked what to do and she agreed it was too small, told me to come in next week. When I came in it was an hour wait, you’d think they’d prioritize fixing their mistake, but no. I came back again to get it changed and another hour wait. It just hurts and I need it changed and they said they’d give me a new jewelry peice for free. But I’m not going back, so now I have to pay for another peice and change at another shop. They really don’t care and that was just an illogical way to run your business.

Got my helix piercing here and had a great experience. I had been doing a lot of research to make sure I was going to a trusted place. Piercings are walk in only but I only had to wait 10 minutes before I got called. You enter and fill out a couple forms, then choose the stud you’d like to put. Once everything is filled out you wait for your name to be called and then you’re taken to the back. Unfortunately no one else can come with you. My piercer was great and really helpful. She marked a couple spots I could get it done before deciding where to pierce. It was quick and clean. They gave a great explanation of how to care for your piercing as well. Now 3 weeks later my piercing has healed very well. It’s still not fully healed but I never got any infections or had issues cleaning it.

Went for a lip piercing, great customer service. Amazing vibe and energy.

Professional, and personal attentive service. I just got my ears repierced, no biggy, but they were great.

Got a Medusa piercing today and I love it. It was fast and they gave great insight on if the piercing was a good fit or not. They were very informative even down to jewelry, size, and placements… will be going back for all my piercings from now on.

I will change this review when you guys wake up at the shop and respond to emails to make appointment, and yes I am an existing customer that have coming for 10 years

I have gotten 16 tattoos from Jinx Proof in the past three years and do not have enough nice things to say about them. They are always honest about tattoo art, and will tell you if it is in an area that will make it fade or something they are not comfortable doing. They make sure that the tattoo they are gonna give if is the best. In specific, Tad Peyton at Jinx one of the nicest people you could work! Not only an amazing artist, but a great guy as well. As well as Aimee who works in the front, she is amazing. This is the place to go for any tattoo, piercing, etc!

The team was lovely. Kevin did an incredible job from start to finish (even using the Star Trek font) and was a delightful conversation partner while he was working. Had a great experience and I’m absolutely in love with my Voyager tattoo. 😍 I highly recommend Jinx for tattoos. 12/10
