Virginia Beach Ink Tattoo and Piercing Studio

Love this place. As soon as I walked in I was greeted warmly and treated kindly the entire time. Andrew was especially helpful, funny and knowledgeable. Shimp, my piercer did an amazing job and my piercing has since healed perfectly with zero complications. I recommend the healing spray they sell as well, it worked wonders. Overall extremely satisfied and will be back!

A+ service from everyone which happened to be my birthday. Great job! Thank you! My trags look fantastic!

DISAPPOINTED!!! ADA & Federal & State law about service dogs was violated & service dog was forced to separate from handler. If you are DISABLED & have a SERVICE DOG, i would highly recommend you NOT to go here.

thanks for the response…BUT actually they are a SERVICE DOG not an ESA (emotional support animal) which i explained SEVERAL times & i was totally disregarded. She is a tasked trained SERVICE DOG that assists me with my DISABILITIES…please note i am well informed about the laws and regulations concerning WORKING DOGS & the difference between the two (ESA).

If i were you, i would try to be less ignorant to the fact that Laws were broken. I highly suggest you look up Virginia code 51.5-44.

TL;DR: I got pierced by them twice a couple years ago, both in the same hole (after healing) because of a botched job. Piercing never healed right and was pretty crooked. You're better off at Finders Keepers.

I had a friend pierce my ears about 5 years ago on a whim. The right lobe healed fine but the left didn't take; I let it heal over and went to VB Ink because it was close by at the time and I figured a professional would be a safer bet.

They were professional and clean, but that's where the quality ended for me. The first time I got it done I told them I have metal allergies; they gave me surgical steel which they assured me would be safe. That piercing got irritated and never healed, no matter what I did. I pulled it out, let it heal over, and used vitamin E oil massages daily to break up any scar tissue.

I got it a second time; this one hurt way more and the artist was kind of rough with it. It also came out cockeyed and didn't match my other lobe. This one they claimed was titanium and I paid extra for it, but the piercing still got irritated; if it was titanium, it must have been low-grade or something because after a whole YEAR of after care it never took. Each time I came in they said to just keep doing after care and wait. I got fed up and took it out to let it heal over. I waited another two years (with vitamin E oil massages) before taking my business to Finders Keepers in Norfolk. That was in April and, after the exact same aftercare regimen as before, the piercing has healed beautifully. The artist even managed to remove some of the scar tissue from the last three botched jobs. I can't see myself going back to VB Ink for a piercing again, the results speak for themselves.

I got my nose pierced here 3 months ago and everything had gone fine until I went to the beach 3 separate times and and the stud fell out each time I went. I went to a different piercing place in VB and they told me that the type of stud you use (with the hook) is outdated and no one uses them anymore. I got it re pierced with a flat rod and it already feels so much better. Also, I was charged 60 dollars for the “highest grade” of titanium here and was told it was cheap and not good quality.

I was in Virginia Beach for a little vacation. I’ve been talking about getting my nose pierced for years but was too scared ! I went here and was pierced by shimp. He was AWESOME !!! Also the ladies in the front were as well. Their shop is so nice and clean. I was literally in and out. This was an excellent experience and will be back there to get my first tattoo done as well !

My experience at Virginia Beach ink was awesome! Everyone there was friendly and helpful. If you’re looking for a tattoo or a piercing, I highly recommend going here.

The employees at VB Ink are the nicest people that you will find at a tattoo parlor. They know alot and are very respectful. I love having people ask me where to go to get piercings and or tattoos. I always tell them go to VB Ink

I took my mother to get a tattoo for her birthday, I flew to Virginia just for this. The tattoo artist Brian was extremely frustrated over a very simple design, telling my mother her design was wrong, and rolling his eyes while shrugging his shoulders and very unfriendly (not personable at all). With the amount of tattoos I have, as well as my family, we have never been told what we want is wrong or been treated as if we are an inconvenience to the artist. With the amount of tattoo shops around here, I would definitely go somewhere else.

0 customer service. If it’s not communicating via instagram they don’t want to help you. I just drive from Norfolk just to talk to someone and they were completely unintressed in me or my business. The lady behind the counter finally said she had someone to talk to and then the lady copped an attitude with me as soon as I left and said I didn’t wanna talk to anybody with stellar customer service I don’t know why anybody would ever want to come there
