I came in with some art I found on Pinterest, but thought it would be nice to give her some creative freedom too. She came up with a small ghost for my wrist -- and I loved it instantly. 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. I totally get the idea of "tattoo therapy" now - highly, highly recommend this place!

I got a tattoo 8 years ago and loved the work. Through IG, I found my artist who did that tattoo…read moreand where he was tattooing these days. (@chris_h_art_ink) Now called Seven Cities Tattoo Co., my artist, --Chris H.-- did my *two* new tattoos. He squeezed me in on a Saturday and gave me a beautiful chrysanthemum tattoo. We couldn't finish the other flowers as we ran out of time, but he didn't leave it incomplete. I messaged him halfway through the next week with a question about the healing process. He answered my questions thoroughly, and then mentioned he had an opening the following Saturday to finish up the tattoo if I wanted, and of course I took the opportunity. He finished my tattoo up with a beautiful arrangement of gladiolus! He didn't block it off either, so if I want to add more, I could (most definitely will!). He listened to my requests of no harsh black outlines and that I wanted it in the same manner of my previous 8 year tattoo. He asked what colors I was thinking and went from there. Definitely trust the process. I am beyond thrilled with the work. Chris was really nice and kind, and very realistic and practical about the whole process from booking to aftercare. The shop has great vibes and it's very calm. The decor is fun and whimsical, the tattoo area is spaced out nicely, and you can watch them clean the areas up after they're done so you know it's clean. I enjoyed my experience here, and I'll keep coming back so long as Chris is here.

I recently went to get my Forward Helix and my 3rd ear lobe hole pierced by Lucky 13 in Richmond…read morebut unfortunately, the jewelry fell out a few weeks later so I headed to Whiskey River Tattoo in hopes of getting new jewelry and possibly getting my Forward Helix re-pierced. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming! Oli, the piercer, took a look at my ear and decided that I definitely needed the Forward Helix re-pierced and even suggested we place it a little lower for better healing. I waited for about an hour since there were a few people ahead of me but Oli was absolutely amazing! She changed out my jewelry and re-pierced my ear with ease! She explained the healing process and I love how knowledgeable she was! We had the best time laughing and vibing to her music. I left out of the shop feeling like I made a new friend! If you're in the area and looking for a new piercing, Oli is your girl!!! Definitely check her out! You won't regret it!

The inspo vs the finished piece!…read more When my grandma was still with us her favorite hobby was making pottery. Her signature piece would be these gorgeous dragonfly's. She even used to sell them on Etsy. I really wanted to get a tribute tattoo for her to commemorate her artwork. She passed February 2022. I came in as a walk in and had this reference picture of one of her pieces. I definitely didn't want it to be identical but just something that I knew the meaning. The secretary at the front desk was the absolute sweetest. Super patient with me and all of my questions. You'll notice as soon as you walk in that the shop itself is super clean and well kept. My friend and I had come in around 8PM (2 hours before they close) and originally they told me they would only have time to do my friends tattoo and not mine. Some artist have other appointments going on so walk ins are not always guaranteed a spot. I was pretty disappointed but still wanted my friend to go ahead and get hers. One of the artist (and I feel so bad I cannot remember his name) was actually packing up and getting ready to leave for the night but then I think he saw how sad I was sitting waiting for my friend to be done. He ended up saying he would do the tattoo for me and I was so so so grateful. He got the drawing up and tattooed me all within about 30 minutes and it turned out so so good! The only thing I think that stood out to me negatively was they do not let you bring guests back to the tattoo rooms. I can see how this can be nerve racking for first timers. As there was one younger girl there for her first ever tattoo and she seemed super disappointed when they denied her request of bringing her mom back with her. However, I will forever be grateful and the experience was just amazing. Definitely will come back for my next piece!

It has been about 3 months and i have given it enough time to officially say Lorin hay gave me the…read moreshittiest tattoo in this establishment. The lines have been fading from my first session so he touched them up, and now the lines faded AGAIN after the second session. I have 7 tattoos for 6 + years and NONE of them have faded except this shitty ass tattoo from Lorin. Adding on to that, Lorin took it upon himself to give me veins on a hibiscus flower and disregarded what I specifically told him. I showed him a picture, explained multiple times I wanted a bright purple full color fill in and instead he put blue mixed with red and purple as veins not even a full color fill in he just put straight ass veins. How can i be more fucking clear? I am so livid I am going somewhere else to get this ballsack ass flower corrected. Do not bother me with that bullshit excuse " but you didn't say anything". I spent $1,400 for a 4 hour session in pain with blood covering my whole arm so no I couldn't fucking see my tattoo when the session was over because it was nothing but blood and ink. Immediately he wrapped it up and sent me out. It took until a week after the wrap came off and i washed off all the blood just to see this shit show on my arm. FYI those red marks are apart of the tattoo it is not blood. I took these photos today 06-16-26 Like why tf did he put red on it ????

I decided that I wanted to get a naval piercing and called around to a few different tattoo places…read morein the area for availability and pricing. I called Ocean Mystique and the lady was very nice, gave me the price of the tattoo, which was $35 for basic jewelry, but at the time I called, the piercer wasn't there. She did mention that he should be in some time in the early evening so I was a little disappointed but once I did call back around 5-6pm, he had made it to the shop. As soon as we walked in, they were was a rope at the front door not allowing us to continue in the shop until we had our temperature checked and sanitized our hands. I appreciated the extra level of care to ensure we weren't feverish or experiencing any virus symptoms. I really liked how clean the tattoo shop was, I was very impressed. The piercer went over the piercing guidelines and after care and was all set up for me in the matter of minutes. Once I was in the room, I did ask him if he minded me taking pictures or recording and he did so I respected that and did not record or take any pics of me getting pierced. The naval piercing was over in less than 2 mins. He made it quick, easy and fairly painless. I chose this place because they provided the cheapest naval piercings in the area and I'm glad I did. *Just FYI, if you "Check In" to this place on Yelp, a $10 off coupon might pop up but they set up that coupon a while ago and it's not valid anymore. I actually checked in on Yelp after I paid, alerted them of the coupon and they mentioned they were going to remove it.
