Went with my daughter to get tattooed together. She did her research and found an artist she loved so we drove to VAB. We came in as walk-ins as she had already had a consult and the day setup for hers. Everyone was friendly and the shop had a great vibe. The artist Scott did a great job taking my concept sketch and drawing it for the tattoo. He was really fast and it came out amazing. Whether it's your first tattoo or adding to the existing collection I highly recommend The Collective

Everyone here is awesome! Its very clean and professional with an amazing vibe. The front desk staff is very helpful and have great communication. They offer a selection of high quality jewelry and get new styles in often. The artists I have had the pleasure of being tattooed by are fabulous! I get so many compliments on my tattoos and piercings. I cannot recommend The Collective enough!

This shop is more than just a hub for tattoos and piercings.. The Collective is an entire experience. The moment you walk through the doors, you are transported. Every detail of the shop is meticulously done. From the moss wall, to the tin ceiling, the handcrafted bar top, the furniture, and the eclectic decor.. this place is not just “another clean shop”. You can tell that this shop is a place of great pride, not just for the owner but for every employee. We met the owner, who chatted with my husband and I for a bit, and what an amazing, cool dude he is! Nikki did my piercing and she was super chill… she was quick and calm. I was totally fine, but I can see how she would put someone a little anxious at ease. I cannot recommend The Collective enough!!! They deserve to stick around and flourish!!

My artist here is Clay Thames and he is the absolute best. He is a very talented artist and he makes every effort to ensure the tattoo process is as comfortable as possible for me. That being said, everyone here is fabulous. From the owners, to the artists, to the ladies at the front desk, everyone here takes both artistry and hospitality very seriously. Professional, clean shop with a laid back, fun atmosphere. Featured is a pic of the back piece Clay designed for me. Would highly recommend for your tattoo needs in Hampton Roads!

I made an appointment with Micheal after seeing the work he did on a friend, after looking at his art on Instagram I knew he was the perfect artist to trust with what I wanted. Hannah inspired tattoo with precise line and details. He blew it out the park and I still have 1 more session to go. Definitely recommend.

For years I’ve been holding out on getting a tattoo I’ve always wanted. I found it hard to trust someone enough to carry out my vision and turn that into a reality. Until today, I took a chance on Michael and he took my vision and turned it into perfection. Thank you for being amazing and professional. I’ll be back soon and I’m bringing friends!

I have had several walk-in tattoos done here. Staff is always friendly and willing to answer questions. Michael has done 3 of my tattoos and always makes the experience enjoyable. I always receive compliments on the tattoos he has done for me. This is the only shop I go to and trust for tattoos and piercings.

$2,382.30 and 42.5 hours paid across seven sessions spanning a year… and the attached photo is the unfinished result; furthermore, I am unable to find an artist who will finish the tattoo. The attached photo was taken within days of the last session; despite my best efforts, the tattoo is already significantly faded (more than my other, older tattoo). I would think long and hard before hiring this studio.

I love Tim he’s super cool and chill and makes your feel comfortable which is very important for woman. He added my new addition, would definitely go to him again. Also shout out to the girls in the front desk they’re very polite and knowledgeable . They really give you big sister vibes. ❤️❤️
