I was in town for a conference and did some digging and research before deciding on King, an artist…read moreat this shop. Their work is displayed on social media and I reached out via text to schedule an appointment. King has an assistant who handles his booking, but it was pretty straightforward. $100 deposit that goes towards your total, $150 per hour, 2-hour minimum. It's been a while since I've had an ink session but was pretty sure I would only need 2 hours for what I was getting. Once deposit was paid, I received a booking text that confirmed my time. The artist had something come up during my originally scheduled time, but gladly checked the schedule to get me in while I was still in town. There are two sections upstairs, and myself and two others were getting tattooed in one area at the same time- but it wasn't crowded and we weren't on top of each other. They guys had a good vibe and energy between them and the air was light and filled with stories and laughter. I would think this would relax a nervous person, to see the artists comfortable in their spaces and happy to work. I had a small touch up on one tat and two new ones, which spanned the full 2 hours. He initially sketched out the tattoo based on my photos, but once I saw them in print and didn't like the font, he let me go through the database to find one that I did like. The tattoo behind my ear went quick and was quite painless. The one on my forearm went well too. King has a good hand and great line work. I generally go to the same artist when I like them, and if I ever get another tattoo while in Norfolk, I would book with King again.

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 got a simple but meaningful matching tattoo with my best friend--two orbiting celestial bodies that represent how the universe has brought us together and apart over 25 years. The design may seem simple, but it required precise circles and ovals, which are no joke--especially on the inner bicep. Dani executed it flawlessly. Both mine and my friend's came out perfect. Dani was easygoing, professional, and made the whole process feel collaborative and comfortable. Placement and design were a breeze with their guidance. The vibe in the shop was chill, welcoming, and refreshingly LGBTQ+ friendly, which made a big difference. Fair pricing, easy scheduling, and an overall experience that felt intentional and respectful from start to finish. Tender Heart and Dani really hit every mark--can't recommend them enough.
