The vibe was chill. Jon did amazing work and since I went almost two weeks ago people are still asking where I got the work done and who did it. They were impressed with Jon's use of color and shading. He's been doing this for a long time. Decades. He's willing to take on unique challenges and make it work. Highly recommend this establishment. I know I'll be back soon for more work! read more

Unprofessional. I drove an hour and a half for an appointment with my sister who flew in from out of state. They forgot our appointment and decided to work on a bunch of walk-ins instead. Made no effort to correct the mistake. Not even an apology. read more

This place is a joke! I have been getting tattoos my entire life. Never have I ever had a professional shop tell me they dont feel comfortable giving me a tattoo. I wanted a Harley Logo to cover up my ex wifes name on my neck. Was told they dont feel comfortable doin the logo cause its a hard tattoo to pull off ...especially on the neck. Then I was sent a Pic of a queen's crown that looked like a sketch that a kindergarten kid drew that was supposed to be Jon's idea of what to cover up my ex wife's name with instead of my Harley bar and shield . I was caught by surprise with this photo and took a step back. Waited a couple days and sent another idea. Just to be told the same thing . They didnt feel comfortable.doing this tattoo. Im so confused because the pics of the work done by these artist that are posted online is amazing .How could they not be able to feel comfortable doing any tattoo? Thats what artist do, create art! Im giving this place a 0 star review because the ability to perform work isnt there , nor is the effort to satisfy the customers needs . Furthermore , there is 0 effort in helping there shop grow by luring in new clients. All 0s for me! read more

My boyfriend and I were feeling impulsive and decided to get some tattoos. I messaged these guys about a week prior to my appointment and they were more than willing to accommodate. My boyfriend even changed his design entirely the day of and the owner was super cool about it. My artist was Biggs, and he gave me the cleanest line work I've ever had! The shop was very clean and the artists were super respectful and helpful in getting us exactly what we wanted. I will definitely be returning soon to have more work done. I can't thank these guys enough for their cooperation and respectfulness! read more

I would never recommend Lauren Evers or this shop after my experience. Appallingly unprofessional. All she did was waste my time and scam me out of a deposit payment. No artist worth their salt would ever wait until *3 days before* an all day tattoo appointment for a fairly large custom piece to show a first draft of the drawing. (Big red flag!) I booked in advance, was assured we would meet for revisions, and periodically checked in via email leading up to the date. The daft needed a lot of work which we agreed on, but I felt uneasy since there was so little time left.  I did not hear from Lauren again until she emailed me *the night before* our appointment. She could not possibly have left it more to the last minute. (Red flags)  Her drawings were anatomically incorrect, lacked detail, looked very rushed (more red flags), and did not have things I thought we had agreed on like giving the animal some bone structure. Wanting to work this out, I sent a drawing that showed the structure and details that were more of what I had in mind, and asked her if she could use elements from it. She agreed to that, and we agreed to keep the appointment. However what she had the next day at the appointment did not resemble the drawing I sent in any way, or what we had discussed in person or via email. It was a heavy handed sloppy outline that looked like it took two minutes and nothing more. It was like a bad joke! I don't know why she even kept my appointment that day since it was clear she had no intention of doing a tattoo. She did not greet me, or show me her shockingly bad sketch until *after I had signed paperwork* with the girl behind the counter. I even had a drawing I worked on myself to bring just in case since I wasn't feeling very reassured by her last minute messaging, but she wouldn't even look at it. (Seriously sketchy! ALLLLL the red flags!) No self respecting artist should be so lacking in skill or ethics they treat clients this way.  If you are looking for a professional who takes their commitments seriously, definitely look elsewhere. read more

My friend went to this parlor and all they did was talk trash about all the costumers. Also while she was on the phone with them in the background they called her by her name and called her annoying. She told them that she heard them and they said well cancel your appointment or get some awesome ink. While their artwork is good the people are trash. read more

Exquisite Ink responded and answered all of our questions to make us feel comfortable we picked the right artists and shop. Jon did amazing work on my arm. He made sure I would be satisfied and gave me art that I am proud to wear. Lauren did my wife's piece on her arm and made her feel at ease also, she loves her tattoo, it exceeded her expectations. They take their time, they have a awesome clean shop, and have a great attitude. Great artists and shop. read more

I seriously love this place. Jon has done 2 working on 3 of my tats. He's "fixed" one and getting ready to put some detail on another one of mine. I've been tattooed all over the nation and he has a steady hand and is great at color detail. I'm pretty picky with my work and it's strange for me to be a repeat customer. Did I mention he also has the best prices around without driving to WV? So happy!! read more

I have several tattoos that I have had done from Harrisonburg to Winchester, but I can honestly say that exquisite Ink does care about it's customer base and quality of work. I went to several other shops around Winchester and for the most part the artists were pre-madonnas and thought they were working in L.A. and not the Shenandoah Valley. John was very interested in what I wanted to get done and was very happy to do the work. The prices are very fair and the quality of work is outstanding. I was referred here by a coworker and cannot thank them enough. read more
