Valei Arts Tattoo Studio 2

Was going to bring my 14 yr old here for her bday to get a nose piercing. Called the day before (Thursday) and asked what was needed and to verify the person that is the notary was going to be there and of course the piercer. I was told the person that is the notary would be there at 12pm. The piercer usually comes in at 2pm but would be there at 12pm on Friday. Drove an hour to get here, on my daughters Birthday. Showed up at approx 12:10 sat down, wasn’t greeted by anyone. No one at the front desk. Tattoo artist didn’t greet us, just kept working and ignore us and another mom/daughter duo. Finally the mother asked me if we were there for a piercing. I said yes. She said she had an appt at 12pm. I told her I didn’t have an appt but they told me yesterday the piercer would be here at 12pm and it’s a walk in only. We all sat and waited. Then the front desk girl came in at approx 12:20pm and greeted us. She said the piercer was going to be in at 2pm not 12pm. I explained the situation and she offered to call her. The other mother/daughter duo just left and said they would come back another time. At approx 12:35pm the front desk girl called “goldi” and her response was she would try to be there at 1pm but she was still at home and getting ready I “could wait or leave it was up to me” so we chose to leave. The front desk girl was very nice, apologize and was helpful. the tattoo artist working who idk completely ignored us is rude. And finally the piercer goldi is NOT RESPECTFUL of ppls time or gas. Her nonchalant attitude made my decision to leave! Not even a sorry. Very Rude! We left and went someplace else and got my daughter her nose piercing. We were happy we did. They were nice, respectful of our time, and clean. I would NOT RECOMMEND Valei Arts or Goldi to ANYONE! By reading another review guess their employees no show a lot on customers..

I got just what I wanted from Maylin. Nice shop!

Bri a.k.a Goldie Locks was AMAZING! She pierced my daughters nose and was very professional and informative. The staff from beginning to end were very friendly and professional. Very very clean and made sure that our experience was exceptional!!! We will be back! Thanks Goldie!!!

Randy did a tattoo on my son and it came out AMAZING! It was my son's first tattoo, so we both had a lot of questions. Randy walked us through each step, took my son's vision for his tattoo and made it come to life! My son is booking his next tattoo already!

Best shop in Jax. Both locations have experienced and professional artists. Owner, Randy Keener, runs two award winning locations. Will be coming in for more!

Randy is a terrific artist with a great shop full of great artists. If you're looking for ink, look no further.

Shout out to Beau for adding an arrow to my collection in memory of my Dad. #suicidesucks

Scheduled a consultation a week in advance. Got no-showed by the tattoo artist. Too competitive of a market to do that.

Good environment with friendly staff and good artist. Asked for Esko👍🏻

Got an industrial piercing from goldilocks :) love it! She was very friendly and the rest of the staff as well. I highly recommend and will be going back!

I can only say if you are looking for great tattoo artist, this is the place. Plenty around, but this is unique, actually they take their time. Excellent customer service, great communication with customer. I’ve never had such a great experience with tattoos appointments. These people, are humans and able to workout something to make customer satisfaction. I would highly recommend anyone who wants tattoos to check them out. Thank you for the excellent service and see you guys on my next appointment. Randy, and his staff are extremely professional and look out for their customer. Again very pleased, happy with the service. I found my artist finally.

I HAD MY SNAKE BITES AND EYEBROW PIERCING DONE BY BRENNA AND SHE WAS AWESOME! HANNAH AT THE DESK IS COOL AND SWEET. BRENNA IS VERY COMFORTING AND KIND AND SHE MAKES SURE HER PPL ARE TAKEN CARE OF! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! WILL BE BACK! 🫶🏼🤘🏼🖤

Ear piercing awesome ❤️❤️❤️

Brenna was amazing! She made me feel comfortable and was fast, efficient, safe, and sweet! Will definitely be returning to her for all my piercing needs! Ask for Brenna, aka Goldilocks! 😍🥰❣️

May did amazing with bringing my idea to real ink!! Her sketching and details are immaculate! I plan on continuing to book with her for my calf sleeve!

Twas a very nice experience. Very well clean and sanitary. Both piercings went by really quickly and have been doing great. Definitely a great place to go for a piercing.

Angel has been very patient and understanding during my visits, he’s an incredibly talented artist as well!

Maylin is wonderful!! Her work speaks for itself. Despite the language barrier she made sure to fully understand what I was looking for in my cover up tattoo. Her line work is perfect and her energy is top notch. I am going back to her this month to finish up my cover up tattoo and I will definitely be back for more of her work. This is the first tattoo I've gotten where I felt completely at ease with the artist. I cannot praise her enough and I'm thankful she was the artist available when I reached out about my cover up!

Update: they’re healed beautifully even and happy. The other places I’ve been to do not take into consideration your body and how different they all are and they will use the same size jewelry on everybody and do not care. Brenna takes the time to speak with you about any and all concerns you have and works in a clean and sterile environment. She also is very calming if your nerves get worked up and will reassure you. Clean and professional establishment run by a very cool owner, Randy, who’s art and tattoos are amazing. Very talented. Brenna aka Goldilocks is the piercer and she is amazing!!! I’ve have my nipples pierced four times due to other places carelessness and she pierced mine for the 5th time and was very clean, informative, and professional.

Goldie's Locks is amazing. She has great customer service and is very awesome. So if this is what you want I recommend her .
