Not a tattoo, but a piercing review: I just recently got my…read moreother side nose pierced, and I didn't realize, but in the last 10 years, I had two other piercings done here (my lower lip & my belly button). I highly recommend this place for piercings. Now, they do not let you take pictures of the process, which is fine with me, because I'm not 21 anymore (haha!), but some people may not like that. They do have a tip jar OR you can now tip on your card at the end (they also have an atm in there). My friend and I really enjoyed our time here, and the piercings were done quickly. The longest part was us picking out our jewelry. I'll go here again for any other piercings I feel led to get. High quality!

I couldn't be more proud of the work he has done already. This is my second tattoo with Sean. He completed a very large black and gray Lady Justice on the back of my calf this past May. The compliments I have received have been outstanding. If realism is something you are wanting, Sean is your guy! When it's time for me to relocate from VA Beach, I can safely say with 100% certainty that I will travel to the area if only to receive another mind-blowing tattoo from Otzi! Visit the shop with your idea!! Thanks Sean and Athena!

I originally tried getting a quote from another shop and they pushed me aside saying that my tattoo wasn't "big enough to warrant an appointment and should just be a walk in." I told Kelsey that since it was my first tattoo I wanted to make sure that I got exactly what I wanted without feeling rushed. Once we set up our consultation she went out of her way to make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. We had to reschedule a couple times due to my schedule and she was understanding about that as well! Once we got started she offered me lots of breaks and checked in multiple times to make sure that I was feeling okay. I am beyond obsessed with my tattoo and I can't wait to head back for more from her! She gave me her personal number and said multiple times that I should reach out with any concerns I might have. If you have been on the fence about what shop to use - don't hesitate! Black Rose & Dagger is where you need to go.

Tim was my guy, and he was super helpful and fixed a few issues I had with my design, and he did an awesome job!! I really wanted to make sure this was symmetrical and centered well, and he exceeded my expectations. He also made sure to use a super fine point tip, which is an even better look than I hoped. The studio was very chill and had a cool vibe, and Tim really made me feel at ease and relaxed about the whole process. He is a pro, and if you need any sort of outlined style this is your place. The view of the ocean out the front window doesn't hurt, either.

What I loved the most was the owner defending his people from an unruly customer. It was the hottest thing I've witnessed in quite some time.

I waited about 20min due to 3ppl ahead of me. The gentleman at the front desk got me situated with paperwork so that I would be ready once it was my turn. The shop was extremely clean and spacious with a comfortable waiting area. Mak the piercer, called me up and educated me on the plethora of jewelry options for nose piercings. I settled on a small stud and was ready to roll. Mak was so accommodating, welcoming, and calming to me during this process. She mentioned being an apprentice of Brandy and gave her all the accolades on her craft. Mak thoroughly explained everything I would experience during the piercing process before actually sticking me. This was unlike any other piercing experience I've ever had. Mak was quick too, but not like she was rushing me out. She ensured I was ok the entire time, and made suggestions on placement from her experience and WHY! She also suggested that I close my eyes. This was extremely helpful as well as properly breathing through the process. After I got done the quick and nearly pain free process, I had a small tear from my right eye as she stated I would. Mak thoroughly explained the aftercare process and told me to contact her directly if I had any questions. Valhalla and Mak is great for any beginner or novice people seeking piercings.

Over the past week, I've gotten so many compliments on it. Turns out that I love it wayyyy more than my initial line wraparound! She made the process so smooth, gave great aftercare advice, and was just such a vibe the whole time. Huge shoutout to her, she does amazing work! I also want to shout out the rest of the crew I met during my session: Canada, Flaco, and Sam. They were so kind and welcoming. We vibed over books, life struggles, and everything in between. It all felt so genuine, like hanging out with friends. And it blew my mind that they remembered me when I attended the VB Tattoo Fest this weekend! For a first tattoo, I couldn't have asked for better people or a better experience. I'll definitely be adding more over time.
