I went to The Collective after work yesterday in search of new navel jewelry and they did not disappoint! My current jewelry had been causing me to have an allergic reaction and through their website I found out that all their jewelry is titanium - just what I was looking for. As soon as I walked in I was greeted and helped right away. I didn’t catch her name but the lady who was helping me was super nice and helpful and listened to my problem with my current jewelry and even price checked the rings I was looking at. They set me up with my email and phone number so if I were to come back I was already in the system, which was something I greatly appreciated. The ring is beautiful and probably the best ring I’ve ever had, I can already notice the improvements. I will definitely consider them in the future for any tattoo/piercing needs.

We came in as walk ins and was put on a wait list. It was a quick wait time. We got Linsey and she did an amazing job. Very clean and excellent service. Highly recommend.

I had a great experience here, I’ve gotten all of my facial piercings here and they have all healed perfectly. I came here to get my first tattoo with Lindsey and she did an amazing job. It is healing perfectly as well.

I got my high nostrils done by Kristy earlier today. This studio had such a great vibe and as soon as I walked in everyone was so friendly. Kristy has a calming energy and helped me feel so at ease. I’ll definitely be going back, this is my new place

This review is long overdue. I worked with Lindsey last spring for a large piece on my back that I look forward to adding to this spring. Overall my experience was awesome. The business is friendly and helpful.The building is artfully decorated and rooms offer great privacy. My artist was kind patience and highly skilled! I have already recommended this place to many friends and clients!

Went in yesterday and saw Kristy Ross for piercings. She was amazing. My piercings are perfect and I’m so happy with the service but also her in general. She took her time and gave me as much time as needed to get calm and centered. She was understanding and compassionate as well as patient with me. Could not have asked for a better experience and a better person to have done it. I will be recommending her to everyone for their piercing needs. Hell of a good piercer and exactly the calming energy you’d want if you’re nervous in any way. Thank you again Kristy! Also the overall vibe here in general is immaculate. Everyone was incredibly nice. The place itself is beautiful. And you feel welcomed from the minute you walk in the door. Look forward to updating this review one day to include on their tattoos because I will definitely be back.

I'm finally getting around to writing a wonderful review! I work next door and would always be looking at the building from outside thinking about walking in and checking out the vibes and meet the wonderful people of collective. The atmosphere of the inside was so relaxing and tranquil. Lots of beautiful plant life, comfy chairs, and wicked cool eclectic items on the shelf. The girls at the front desk were so sweet and very helpful with my questions and needs. I originally did my piercings first. Ryan did my piercings and even helped stretch my gauges. He had wonderful conversations with me . He made me feel comfortable and welcomed. I absolutely love my piercings. Would recommend Ryan for your piercing Needs. I came in a couple days later for my Norse Compass on my hand and Tim was my artist. Right from the beginning his vibes and personality was so amazing. Awesome conversations about gaming and other nerdy things lol. He took his time with my day and made a lot of great comments on how it was it looking awesome so far. After we were finished he took a pic of my tat which showed me that he appreciated it enough to have a personal pic of his work. I'm currently still wearing my saniderm, so I'll deffinitely post a pic. I look forward to coming back.

This place and the people are really amazing. Seriously this will be the only place you need to come for tattoos in the USA. Dave is true pioneer in the industry. This gentleman is featured in all kind of ink magazines. Has a ton of awards and recognition of being the best of the best. Hands down no contest the best best best place in Virginia Beach. Life long customer here and check them out. I promise you will become a life long member as I am .

Honestly the strangest experience. My piercer Kristy was obviously having a rough morning (understandable, happens to all of us). The front desk was super helpful and told me she was running late and helped me pick jewelry, offered water, etc. Kristy comes walking in cussing and explaining the morning she had to the front desk. Loudly. Even while they were trying to answer the phones. Again, I get it. But no acknowledgment of me (the client) just proceeds to share her personal business with the front desk. Then (25 min past my scheduled time at this point) she walks in the back and continues to vent very loudly for another 10+ minutes. I wish she would have just come out, acknowledged me, respected my time, and asked for a moment to gather herself. Or taken the day off. Or asked me if I would like to reschedule. After continuing to hear her escalated and upset in the back, I decided this is not the person I want seeing me. (Most of us are a little nervous and look for calm and comfort in these situations). Extra frustrating because now I have to go somewhere I didn’t have the piercing originally done. And I had such an AMAZINGLY professional and wonderful experience with Bennett who did my tattoo. But I won’t be returning to Collective.

I came here for my first tattoo (Thank you Tim!) and not only did they do a fantastic job with the result but they also took the time to answer any questions I had for them. Anthony helped me greatly with getting in contact with an artist. Savannah, Tim, and a few others helped give me advice on tattoo aftercare and were very delighted to answer any of my questions with the healing process as well! I met Dave, the fantastic owner, too. Dave spoke so highly of his crew and seems so proud of his team and the art that they produce. Dave and everyone else who works here are not only friendly but very respectful, dedicated, super polite and helpful to anyone who walks into the building. It’s a safe place for everyone and it feels like a home when you open the door. Thank you guys for making me feel so welcomed in a new environment and I appreciate every single one of you❤️ This is the place to go to if you live in the Hampton roads area!
