Patrick is the type of tattoo artist that’s limited. I scheduled my appointment and put down a $200 deposit 2 months ago. The day of appointment cancels because of daughter. Oky. Then next day 30 minutes before my appointment he had his assistant message me to tell me he can’t do that type of tattoo and he’s gonna refund my money even though he messaged me 2 hours before to confirm the time I was supposed to come in. No wonder Patrick didn’t win Ink Master. He’s limited and sucks. Worst customer service ever. Do not recommend

Lith did my second set of lobe piercings and she did an amazing job. This was a last minute request and she did everything she could to be flexible with my schedule including doing the piercing right before closing. This shop is very clean and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants piercings.

My wife and I are visiting from out of town and had a wild hair to get a piercing. We called an hour before closing and Lith was so kind and willing to take us on. She was so great, kind, professional, knowledgeable, and seemed to genuinely care. She did a great job with my wife and her nose piercing and even stayed late to round out a great experience. Thank you Lith!!

Lith did a nose piercing for me and I couldn't be happier with the entire process! She is empathetic and patient with anxiety about needles. She thoroughly explains everything she is doing and takes the time to ensure you're comfortable with what she is doing. Lith is awesome!!

Great place. Welcoming atmosphere. Everyone is friendly and they do very good art work. I plan on getting more ink from this place. Very respectful and very lgbtq+ friendly

Was told by a couple of my friends that these people are rude and Patrick basically wants to choose the idea for your tattoo like it's going on his skin not your's and brags that he was on ink master but keep in mind that he was voted off for going too deep and scarring his customers skin! And doesn't have patience with his customers like a professional artist should. Void this place!

The best tattoo i have so far (I have 36) plus Patrick Flynn covered a pretty big ugly skull with a huge black spot and its totally gone. He was super light handed. Its healing nicely. I was given adequate breaks. Plus the numbing sprays he uses works!!!!! I had a 6 hour session and only the first hour hurt. Soon as the skin broke and he sprayed it was like a slightly dull vibrating pain. Very clean shop, great environment. I plan to cover my entire torso via Rising Sparrow

The tattoos done here look awesome, but won’t be getting any from here. Evidently Nikki isn’t about adding her work to someone else’s. Didn’t get any clarity on that even though through messages she was told about the tattoos I’ve already got. She neither expressed any hesitation, nor asked for any pics, but did set-up the consultation……the consultation that is safe to assume there would be discussion about what I told her I wanted before making a date for the job! But no, in under one minute after meeting Nikki, she’s “not about that”. So apparently a consultation doesn’t mean you’ll be getting any tattoos, something Nikki could have just settled over messages before I rearranged my time to meet her out of my way! Then the manager/owner, whoever she said she was, slaughtered any possibility of doing business with another artist recommended by Nikki, when owner/manager said something along the line of, “your impression of what you thought a consultation meant is irrelevant”. Great looking tattoo portfolios, but the worst with customer relations.

Patrick Flynn created my half-sleeve from a list of items that, to anyone but myself, would seem random and entirely unrelated to one another- a martini with three olives in a high-ball glass, a red door, a raven, a lollipop, dogwoods and poppies. Most artists wouldn't touch that with a fifty-foot pole, but Patrick is neither too arrogant nor too self-important to ignore a challenge. From start to finish, Patrick was the consummate professional. He responded to my initial inquiry for a tattoo through his website within 48 hours. I had a consultation appointment within a week where he was attentive, engaged, and most importantly, demonstrably conscientious and personally invested in my tattoo, which is an homage to my late mother. I'd never sat for more than an hour for a tattoo and my first sitting with Patrick was 8 hours and it was an absolute pleasure. He's a light-handed artist with a charming and delightfully witty chairside manner, so those 8 hours flew by. His shop is spotless and has a fun, comfortable atmosphere that makes it easy to relax. After another 6-hour sitting filled with clever banter, I wound up with a stunning tattoo that’s beyond what my imagination ever envisaged. My half-sleeve is sublime. It's is so striking that I'm, literally, stopped by strangers who want a closer look several times a week. I've even had people walk up and stroke my arm because they said it looked like you could feel swirls in the lollipop. Patrick's artwork, inkwork, chairside manner, work ethic, professionalism and dedication to creating beautiful works of art that tell our life stories on our skin are beyond reproach and no one but Patrick Flynn will be tattooing me in the future. I've already got my other arm in mind and I'll be honored to tell people it's a tattoo by Patrick Flynn. Regarding the negative reviews about mask usage- if you disagree with the way an owner is operating their privately owned business, then don't go to there! Being critical and leaving ne

I would rate this 2.5 if I could, a solid middle. I got a tattoo from Narnia and she was an absolute angel! Very sweet, efficient, and beautiful work. I love my tattoo and love her work. BUT when I walked in no tattoo artist, worker, or client was wearing a mask. Narnia wore her mask while tattooing me but other tattooist were tattooing clients with no mask. I also noticed she took off her mask as I walked out, meaning they don’t at all enforce the mask rule. If you are worried about covid-19, I would not recommend this shop. If I had known about the mask ordeal I would have not booked an appointment. I recently got a tattoo at Zen ink and everyone was wearing a mask and they took temp and gave you hand sanitizer beforehand. I was disappointed in their covid misconduct.

I met these folks in 2017 when they were in oteen Angel was a true gem! She did my Brows and I absolutely love them! It sure gave me a confidence boost !! Then I went back the next year and took a friend! She did an amazing job. I’m missed my touch up this year do to COVID but will be going back. Guys if your in Asheville or surrounding area! Call her you won’t regret it.

I recieved my forst tattoo from the about 3 years ago. Good workers and nice people. The tattoo I got however? By far the worst one on my body. I've gotten multiple since from Golden Orchid down is SC and it's by far better work. I can sadly say that I will never trust Rising Sparrow to touch me with a needle again. I wish I could get a refund. The 3 starts is thanks to there nice attitudes.

Patrick did a PHENOMENAL cover-up for me today! I drove 6 hours just to get tatted by him. Hands down the most professional tattoo I have ever recieved. He listened to what I wanted, made suggestions that would allow for better flow, made any changes I requested, and delivered a flawless tattoo. I am incredibly impressed, if you go anywhere else you will be making a mistake.

If you want flawless, natural looking brows Angel will definitely hook you up! I love my eyebrows and I can not wait for my next touch up!

I’ve been getting my brows done by Angel for the past couple years and I’ll never go to anyone else! I’m actually due for my yearly touch-up this month and I can’t wait to walk out of there feeling like a million bucks 😍

Five stars all around!! I got my brows done by Angel and she did an amazing job; honestly better than I could have ever hoped for! She made the experience great with her professionalism and personality as well; I highly recommend going to see her if you want to have the best brows around! PS - I traveled over an hour to get to her and it was worth every moment!

I cannot stress enough how amazing Angel is. I walked in a few months back with very sparse eyebrows. I spent so much time every day coloring them in. Thanks to Angel, I don’t have to do that anymore. I now have beautiful brows and I couldn’t be happier.
