The 1st time they put a small bar in and the 2nd time they put an eye brow piercing in with just belly button piercing balls. My piercing had no room to heal or breath.

Got a new tattoo today. Rob Rutherford was my artist and he was fantastic. We discussed the design…read moreand went over many options, actually completely changing my original design to what we both agreed would work best for the space and get the desired effect. Shop is clean and professional. Everyone that works there is a true professional, and from seeing the pictures around the place all very talented artists. While I was getting my ink on my wife decided to get a small cross and Colby was available for a walk in and did a great job as well. If you are local and looking for some ink I recommend the place, and I also recommend to it non locals as it would be worth your time to travel to Raleigh and experience a great city and get your new ink.

Rob...not great. I was disappointed in my first tattoo. He wasn't willing to do the tattoo that I…read morecame in with, "it can't be done darlin'".

It's frustrating to have to plan weeks ahead of time and then have schedules change last minute, she will charge you anyway if you are even 10 minutes late. Now the scheduling tool is not working and there has been no effort to help us make an appointment. My teen daughter keeps wanting to go to this place, I guess they have the jewelry she likes, and I really wish she would find a more user friendly business.

The shop itself is exactly the vibe I was looking for in a tattoo shop. If you want that old school tatto shop vibe this is the breath of fresh air you have been looking for. The artist were super friendly and inviting. There was various flash art available however the artist I worked with took the time to take my rough sketched idea and turn it into a tattooable stencil in a very short time. I was able to get my tattoo idea done that day as a walk in. To me this is what its all about, tattoo artists that have the talent and time to make it happen. The whole vibe and experience were great, my wife and I enjoyed chopping it up woth the boys while I got my tattoo done. Do yourself a favor and go see anyone at Old Ghost for a great tattoo.
