Had a horrible experience with Killian (the owner) who was polite at first when I was originally…read moreagreeing with his vision for my tattoo. He asked me to send him inspiration so I created a sample in AI just to share my idea as he requested. He absolutely did not like that approach as he felt it inhibited his creative freedom. I tried explaining that it was just a point of reference, much like my Pinterest vision board. I was so excited on my way to the consultation appointment. However, after driving 1 hour in the rain, he cancelled it on the spot because of our creative differences. He claimed to have sent an email to cancel the meeting in advance but actually DID NOT so my time was completely wasted. I thought I was the client. A tattoo is a permanent decision. He even admitted to me in the first meeting that in his own words was literally "dog s*&t at checking email" which was an unprofessional red flag from the beginning. He actually repeated that statement several times to me. Now I see why. I feel that my input should be respected. Upon my arrival to his shop, Killian began to be confrontational and disrespectful with the tone in which he chose to speak. I mentioned that coming to the appointment (that he had just cancelled) was a bad use of my time, he became defensive and rude and blamed it on me. I found Killian to be unprofessional and difficult to work with. After leaving this review, he sent me an unpleasant email further voicing negative comments. Getting a tattoo or several in my case is a very personal experience where you should be made to feel completely safe and that is not the case with Killian. If you want to have creative input over your personal design process, I recommend going to Unbroken in Reston. You deserve respect when paying a vendor for a service and have your vision carried out professionally and collaboratively.

She is super personable to talk to - that my session went by pretty quickly - and so skilled at what she does. I sent over two inspo pictures and she got the design just right with the font, spacing and even delicateness of the letters! I absolutely love it. I normally get skin hives from environmental stressors but my tattoo was only slightly red immediately after and not hiving at all in the recovery. It is healing really well, too. The business itself is also very welcoming and bright. I cannot recommend this business and Maddy enough!

The best piercer in Northern VA. Super clean, very knowledgeable, and extremely detail-oriented…read more Piercings are something you live with for life, so you really have to love them. Lora is truly the best -- highly recommend. I used to have very low piercings and they looked terrible. I tried getting stacked piercings at Rowan, but the nurse (piercer) didn't really know what they were doing. My ears were poked multiple times, nothing was lined up, and it just looked off. Even though I paid a lot, I ended up taking them out. Then I went to Lora -- she immediately understood what I wanted, walked me through everything, and gave thoughtful recommendations. The result looks SO much better. I honestly wish I had found her earlier. Do not go to places that use piercing guns or devices -- they don't follow your markings properly. Go to Lora.
