Ocean Mystique Ink Gallery

I got a cheap tattoo from someone in their home and I really didn't like it. I went to Oceans Mystique to see if they could clean it, cover it up, or just add to it to make it look nicer. I was really kind of shocked by how little they cared about me and my predicament. The tattoo artist I talked to basically told me he didn't want to waste his time or ruin his name in case my tattoo didn't turn out good. Even the front desk girl acted like she didn't really want to be talking to me. They may do good work, but they are stuck up a-holes that aren't deserving of your business.

I decided to go elsewhere (Ancient Art) and I was surprised by how much they cared about helping me. They took me back immediately and started going over options and how to fix my crap tattoo. The artist there took a wax covering of my tattoo, drew around it and made a beautiful cover up piece. When you care about your customers, it show's in your work. Oceans Mystique does not care about you or it's customers. You are literally better off going to ANY other tattoo parlor.

Very unhappy!!! The counter help was friendly enough and designed the tattoo I wanted by coping and pasting images from the internet. The "artists," too busy being pretentious, WAY overestimated how long it would take the "create" by tracing lines and, therefore, WAY overcharged. Tattoo "artists" make terrible business people. Horrible service and they charge way too much for it. I'm not alone, read the other reviews here and elsewhere. There are plenty of other places to get tattoos in Virginia Beach, go to any of them over this place.

I've gotten pierced here multiple times and I love the piercers but my visit today has made me never ever want to go back again . I got my nose pierced here on New Year's Day and was happy with the time the guy took to talk to me and explain everything (he's skinny and has a good amount of piercings himself) I don't know his name so that doesn't help much , anyways I came back today and he was the guy who greeted me when I asked for a nose hoop I knew what I wanted a closed hoop no ball , -the desk assistant or whatever you call her had no idea even after me telling her what I wanted she kept giving me (rings with a ball) I finally picked a ring, it was like a hinged segment ring . I knew it was gonna be hard to put in so the chick volunteered the piercer to put it in for me . I agreed and the whole process was horrible.. he couldn't put the hoop in and had to take a taper to push through my nose (I started bleeding) then he tried again to put the hoop in , more bleeding after using tons of tools , a guide to push the hoop through with and a few glove changes thank god the hoop was in . He had to stretch the ring open .Then the hard part -putting the captive part of the hoop in. Now I have a hoop in my bleeding once healed nose getting pulled I kept saying that hurts your pulling on the ring .. I know and understand it's hard to do that's why I wanted help but if you can't put the hoop in yourself without making me feel even worse than getting it pierced for the first time then honestly I would have rather went home and done it myslef . It hurt , still does and now guess what I have a new healing process to go through . Mind you I'm pregnant and let him know that .. it's well known that during pregnancy you shouldn't get piercings due to risk of infection now I have to be cautious of my (basically new ) piercing thanks guys , a cleansing solution would have been nice before and after too . I will be keeping close attention to the piercing and have my 15.00 receipt with the date and location just in case .. ..
and when he was done he simply bagged my old piercing and left it in the counter . No have a good day nothing.. he knew I was upset ...not so good customer service

I went in to get my nose pierced about 2 weeks ago. I was told by the front desk guy that there were people in front of me, so I asked if I could just sign the stuff and come back the next day, after he told me it wasn't that long of a wait, I decided to just do it then. After over an hour wait (not that long, HA!), a pleasant piercer came out. Not only did I leave with a crooked hoop (not even sure how you do that), but he put in a teeny ring. Once the minor swelling went down, I now have a ripped nostril from where the ring wasn't big enough to handle ANY swelling.

I went there last Monday and got my first tattoo ever. My artist was very calming and easy to talk to. The tattoo turned out great and he was very clear in the post-care instructions. This is definitely the place to go.

JD and all of the other staff at Ocean Mystique are amazing, and very professional. I took my daughter in today to get her earnings put back in after having to take them out for an x-ray, and JD did an amazing job. He treated her as if she was his own daughter. The sales rep. I did not get her name but she was also amazing. I know I asked 1000 questions, but she knew her stuff. I was more than happy with my experience and the services the staff offered.

It was my 1st tattoo ever!!
I was a bit nervous, but was made to feel comfortable right away. I wanted a flower tattooed on my wrist. I got just that, and I love it!!! I have had many compliments on my tattoo!!!
Starting to think about another :-) !!

I stopped in for a quick piercing tonight and Stewart was great! He reassured me that he was going to try his best to be as quick and painless as possible and he definitely was! Staff was very friendly and will for sure be back!

I love this place. I have a back piece and tattoos on my foot and leg, All summer long I have had folks stop and ask where I had my work done? It's always a pleasure to share all my experiences I have had at Ocean Mystique Ink Gallery. Everyone there is always friendly and a lot of fun to be around. I give it 5 Stars!
Like they say:''YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR''.and I'm worth every penny, it is something I will enjoy for a life time.

Best shop experience I've ever had. Everyone is super friendly, my man Eric B. is the best and made a masterpiece on my arm. I also got my lip pierced and it was a great experience. Super grateful I found them!
