I've been to The Collective a handful of times (to get my ear pierced a few years back, and 2 tattoos by Michael now) and this has quickly become my favorite tattoo shop in the area. All staff from the front desk, to the piercer I had, to the owner and all of the tattoo artists that I've met while there, are super helpful, professional, friendly and kind. My experience with staff alone has me recommending this place to all of my friends who want to get tattooed. Not to mention the beautiful decor and comfortable seating in the waiting area. They also have a gorgeous selection of body jewelry. Michael is doing some killer work and he is a blast/so easy to work with, so you'd better get on his books fast! The Collective is a local gem; I can't wait to come back for the next one.

Several months ago I brought my daughter here for her tongue piercing and they were very friendly and professional. My sister-in-law and I wanted to get matching coffee bean plant tattoos so I decided to use them again based on my previous experience. I’m so glad I did! The shop is beautiful and clean, staff goes above and beyond to make sure you have a pleasant experience, prices are very reasonable and competitive, and the artists are phenomenal! My sister-in-law and I both had Chipi as our artist. He is absolutely amazing!! His demeanor and personality is the best, his touch is light and he makes sure to ask you how you’re doing during the process. His artistic ability/talent is out of this world and we couldn’t be happier with our tattoos! I will forever recommend him and I will use him for all of my future tattoos! During my time in the shop, I saw other artists work as well and it was all amazing! You will not regret going there for a tattoo or piercing! That I can promise you!

I came into this shop to get a tattoo fixed by Geo and he did such an amazing job. The employees seem to have alot of knowlege and could answer any questions I had. Also the store is very clean and I'm in love with the decor. I really enjoyed the chat I had with the owner "Dave". He was very friendly and pretty funny. Thanks again Geo !!

I’ve been to the Collective 3 times in the past 6 months, and every time I’ve been done a walk in and requested Michael. He’s always very easygoing and friendly and has created beautiful tattoos for me! The process is easy and as painless as it could be, and I’ll always recommend him and keep going to him for tattoos in the future.

The Collective is my go-to tattoo shop in Virginia Beach. Joey did a beautiful mandala piece on my arm a couple years ago, I had my daith pierced by one of their wonderful professional piercer’s and I’m looking forward to Olivia finishing my sleeve this September. Don’t let the waiting list scare you. These artists are worth the wait!

I called ahead of time to see if they were accepting walk-ins and they were. They explained the process to me and were really helpful! The staff was professional and super friendly! I got my tattoo done by Michael, and I have to say he’s a pretty rad dude! I showed him a picture of what I wanted and he created a beautiful piece for me! He also worked with me to get exactly what I wanted and how/where I wanted it! Super friendly and made the experience a good one! Definitely a talented artist! 100% recommend this shop!

Mikaela Bickleman

My entire experience with this establishment from start to finish has been phenomenal. The staff is very welcoming and does great with explaining the ropes of the whole tattoo process. The shop itself is absolutely beautiful! You can tell a lot of hard work has gone into it. The shop owner was so incredibly sweet and was sure to introduce himself to me and complement the tattoo I was getting. My artist, Joe, sketched out my complicated request and was able to create the perfect tattoo. He does extremely solid work and I am so thankful I was able to find an artist who is as talented as he is! I would 100% recommend this tattoo/piercing shop to all my fellow sailors and anyone who asks for somewhere they can trust! Thank you so much for the best tattoo experience I’ve ever had.
