Went into the shop a few times over three weeks. Talked with the shop manager and the Male tattoo artist. He quoted me a price and told me I didn't need to schedule an appointment or anything. Second time, I went in and talked to the manager to make sure an appt didn't have to be scheduled. Verbalized my intent on returning later that week. The third time, I came in to finally get tattooed, artist said i had to have an appointment. He tried to offer me other appointment times, which didn't work seeing that I had two jobs. He later used that fact to sarcastically insult me to his coworker "she apparently works seven days a week so she can't come back on this day!" I had to come back the next day, I saw Lucy. She did a phenomenal job. I'm happy I was able to get it done by her and not Eric, he was unprofessional. Never apologized for being rude or, giving me the run around. Lucy made it worth the wait, very knowledgeable, kept my mind off the pain by talking to me the whole time. Definitely come here for your tattoo work, another one of their artists did some work for me. They always do a great job, just make sure you get all the info first.. in WRITING apparently....

Lucy is an amazing artist! I went to her for a cover up and she rocked it! She took my idea and elevated it to a whole different level. I cannot express how professional she was and the extremely clean environment they operate! My tattoo took 4 sessions and every thing I was there the place was spotless! I am looking forward to seeing her again soon!

Awesome place! My friend and I had a spur of the moment decision to get tattoos and looked places up on Google. We wanted a good shop for our first tattoos. This place was nearby and had great reviews, so we called to inquire about pricing and time (closes at 8pm, we called around 5pm).
Fantastic price for quality, service, cleanliness, and a Newport News tattoo parlor. Our artist was friendly, as well as all the other staff present and it was very welcoming. I would highly recommend you check this place out and if you're in Hampton Roads, you can't go wrong!

This is the best place to go if you are looking to get any tattoo done. Lucy and Eric are the best! The moment you walk into their shop, they make you feel so welcomed. I have been to other shops in the past but none of them made me feel like i was anything more then money. At American Classic Tattoo you are a person with a story. I had my whole upper arm done by Lucy. She was amazing at putting my ideas into a tattoo. I tell everyone to come get their tattoos done at American Classic tattoo. The work Eric and Lucy do is so amazing... I will be going for years to come. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!

***I was seen at the Hampton shop on Mercury***
My first two times at American Classic I was tattooed by RD who was out from OK for the opening. Great vibe, clean sterile environment and everyone there was awesome. The first tattoo I got there was the restoration of a tattoo that I got a couple years ago (somewhere else). The tattoo had rejected ink and healed looking like a chemical burn. Completely redone using a more American Traditional style and color pallet. I was lucky enough to catch RD before he headed back to Oklahoma to get a traditional cutter ship which also turned out awesome. He designed it to match Erik's style so if I wanted to add on later it would be seamless. A couple weeks later I came back to consult with Erik on what we could do next. I didn't give him specific details I just told him the elements that I wanted to add and being the artist the design portion was up to him. He took some pictures of my arm for referencing size and shape and when I came back for my appointment, he showed me the designs. It was exactly what I wanted. He sized everything up and made multiple adjustments to get everything pieced together correctly without rushing into it before we got started. He was able to get the outline of nearly a half sleeve done in that sitting. I have a follow up appoint to finish the color and come up with a plan for the next phase. In the hours I have spent in their chairs I have heard quotes on several tattoos and every one was reasonably priced, their hourly wages are also fair, not charging for any breaks taken during the tattoo. I never understood negotiating tattoo prices personally, its one of the only things in this world you take to your grave. I would highly recommend this shop and I look forward to being back again and again.

Lucy Day does all my big tattoo pieces and I wouldn't go to anyone else for large pieces! she and I talked back and forth a lot before my outline was done and very much helped me piece together a wonderful tattoo idea! I love each sitting I have with her, she's a great artist! American Classic Tattoo shop is the only one in newport news, but even if there were others-there would be no competition! The inside of the shop is amazing looking! Lucy, her husband Eric and everyone else they have on staff is incredibly talented! I continuously recommend people to check them out! so if you're looking for a great artist-look no more! check it out-you won't be disappointed!

I had two previous recommendations for the establishment. The atmosphere was lovely and friendly. My artist Amy was lovely and very nice to talk to. She took the time to explain what she was doing and checked up on me throughout the process. A very good experience for my first tattoo. I would 10/10 go back again.

I had an appointment with Lucy today for my first tattoo. I gave her the drawing of what I wanted and throughout the process she asked if she could kinda do her own twist, I was hesitant at first but I am extremely happy with the final product. She is very talented.

Lucy is amazing! I brought her a simple idea that I had in my head, along with some pictures that represented what I was seeing in my mind. Lucy took those pictures and turned them into art. Lucy created the most amazing custom piece, that ended up becoming an upper leg sleeve. I will absolutely be back to see Lucy, and 100% recommend her to anyone, be it their 1st or their 100th tattoo!
