I'll start with the shop as a whole. Everything about the shop from the safety precautions in place…read morefor COVID, to the friendly staff who can answer all your questions, to the cleanliness (literally felt like I was in a Doctor's office) was exceptional. Alyssa was very nice to talk to, she was very eager to help in any way she could, helped me pick out jewelry, priced and repriced for different jewelry combos, gave very helpful insight on aftercare (and they have jewelry changing services). She also went out of her way to send me a picture of the pieces I was interested in for my second visit, and held them for me until the day of my appointment. She has a really friendly and sweet energy that makes you feel both comfortable and informed. Robert is THEE piercer. Really nice guy, personable, experienced, a true artist. He's also traveled a lot so he knows cool little cultural facts, has cool stories, and has pierced in a lot of different places. He walked me through a lot and crossed all the t's (changing gloves, sterilizing, etc.) like it was second nature. He told me exactly what he was doing as he was doing it so I knew what was happening even if I couldn't see it in my line of vision. He designed the shape and I let him choose where the different pieces went so I'd say he's got the style element too. He's really passionate about what he does and very determined to make sure you leave with all the instruction on aftercare you need to make sure your body stays healthy, like down to the anatomy of it all. I left with so much positive energy because that's just the kind of place it is. If anyone's ever looking to get pierced in the DMV area, I'd say it's more than worth the drive. I cannot recommend it enough. Stay tuned because one day I'm sure I'll have a tattoo review as well.

I would recommend Karma Theory Tattoos all day, everyday. They are exemplary from start to finish…read more Customer service is definitely number one there. The receptionist was very inviting, welcoming, and helpful. I felt right at home. The place was very clean and warm. Art, the tattooist, is beyond outstanding and just awesome. I can't say enough about him. There are no words that can fully describe his talent, skill, knowledge, and personality. He knows his stuff. I am more than happy with the outstanding design and execution of my tattoo. The skill and details of his work is impeccable. He's also a very nice human being. He is worth more than his weight in Gold. I will always come to see him for my tattoos and recommend him highly to everybody.

I'm so impressed with and humbled by Lil E and his staff. They took such good care of me the other…read moreday when I stopped in. I was in pretty rough shape mentally, and not only did the lovely receptionist have some empathetic words for me, but Lil E was also equally empathetic and compassionate. I was deeply touched by how they treated me. I went in for a piercing, but I received a much needed and unexpected therapy visit. Thank you for being so gracious and patient with me. I'm already planning my next Little Prince tattoo after I get back on my feet again, and I would be so honored and delighted to have Lil E share his gifts to bring this tattoo to life.

Great service great art I will go back again and again. They have great deals on Friday 13s.read more

DONT GO TO FERNANDO!! My fiancé and I have been going to…read moreWalls of Wonders since we started getting tattoos, all fine and good, we always stuck to our original tattoo artist. If many of you know Kristen opened up her new shop in Wilmington and she was my tattoo artist. Cause of my schedule and where my fiancé and I are located, we were not able to go to her this time. I PUT MY TRUST, into the lady at the front desk and asked her what other artists they had there to help me out. She referred me to Fernando, scheduled my appointment and we went yesterday, HORRIBLE. I got 2 tattoos 1 was this spiritual women and another was for my great grandfather. My grandfather one wasnt too bad because it was his hand writing and hearts he drew. But the more and more I look at this woman on my arm, it isnt even symmetrical. There are 2 middles of the flower because he couldn't see one side of the 'ideal' picture, he just mirrored it, or did whatever he pleased. Ray does my fiancés tattoos and he sat there with me and showed me what he can fix. I'm not this person to say never go back here but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO MORE RESEARCH THEN I DID!!!!! OVERALL, not the worst tattoo out there but man just take your time with clients and if you love what you do you should make clients feel their best after leaving your chair. I added the reference picture, my arm, the mistakes, and my fiancés tattoos done by RAY!! Only a handful of people are artists at Walls of Wonder.

She ARROGANTLY kept her face in her tablet, and when my daughter tried to ask questions about contradictory paperwork, she wouldn't look up and speak. She instead IGNORED and then got cocky and ignorant whilst keeping her face in her tablet and never properly addressing the customer concerns. Absolutely unprofessional and RUDE! If you don't like your job, don't choose one that requires "people etiquette"! My daughter kindly said, "Have a good day!" as she left, and again, the receptionist was rude and grumbled back at her. Not ONCE was my daughter rude. This was ridiculous and hideous behavior! Do better!
