    Photo 1 of how I wanted it arranged
    Dylan G.

    I recently moved to North Carolina and was looking for a new tattoo artist to get some work done. I had someone recommend this place to me so I checked it out. I had an idea of what I wanted but needed something drawn up for me. Solomon was able to put it all together for me. I had a photo and an image that I wanted combined together and he did a great job of putting them together into a cohesive tattoo. Solomon did a great job of drawing up my idea and his line work was clean. I brought headphones so I could zone out, but they were completely unnecessary. We just bullshitted through the entire tattoo and it was a lot of fun chatting with him. Very happy with the outcome. Word on the street is that you need to get a piece from Little John's to be a local and I'm glad I decided to stop by.

    Helix and second lobe
    Sueing N.

    I LOVE this piercing place, I only had my lobes pierced when I was a kid before coming here and I've only come here to get all my additional piercings from this place. There's two piercers and both are professional, great talkers, down to earth, and informative. December 2021 was when I first came to get my second lobe and helix piercings on both sides of my ears. Wait wasn't too long, I would say about 20 min since other people were there and I went on the weekend. They got a copy of my ID and I had to fill out a form asking about medical questions and consent and shortly picked out my jewelry. I really like the jewelry selection they have, I feel like for the prices they're a really good price, I feel like the jewelry is high quality and inexpensive and reasonable. I had the other piercer (I forgot their name) but they made the process quick and easy. February 2023 I got my conch and then a third lobe and second helix piercing on my left ear! Same process as the first time, had my ID copied and filled out some medical forms and then went to pick my jewelry. I went on a weekday and the wait was probably only 5-10 minutes. Tuna pierced it and he was great at trying to reassure me of the pain for my piercings since I'm not good with needles. Overall, would highly recommend to everyone who wants additional piercings. I think the price is unbeatable for the jewelry that you get and the service.

    Long story short: Jaime and Topher thought they " let me go now " and were on the phone talking vile and disgusting about me and their experience with me. I would NEVER want to spend money at a location that doesn't value or treat their customers right. Especially with their piercings or service that they provide in doing so. Tuna & Topher & Jaime were the associates I dealt with at this location who provided a TERRIBLE experience. I've got Multiple piercings at this location... all that were incorrect , needed to be redone- rejected , changed jwery incorrect size or have had some type of complications. Tuna did a jewelry change for me for my clit piercing. Topher talked about tuna doing my piercing incorrect and how he's ready for him to retire. Tuna did do my piercing incorrectly, put an incorrect size in a piercing I've had. They gave me a free jewelry change and took care of it after I had complications with jewelry they put in. Only worked with Topher after that, I had dermals that were coming out, holes started to close up. I was told from 9-9:30 they were unable to see me. As they close @10 and were cleaning up @9:05 and were no longer seeing people. This location does not take appointments or reservations , asked what's the easiest way to be seen or how to book as they are first come first serve. No avail. They kept saying we're telling you the same thing and i asked Im just trying to figure the best way to have this problem that arised from you all and they made it seem like i was being difficult. I heard Topher and Jaime on the phone bashing me , belittling me and make fun of the conversation I had with them as Topher thought he hung up the phone but he did not. I work in Customer Service and I am applaud that a place of business would TALK about a customer like that. I called back to let them know I heard everything they were saying about me & when I asked Jaime how she would feel to hear what I just heard especially coming from a place of business bashing a customer- said she confident and doesn't care what anybody says about her. I do not feel the same , Sorry im not as confident as you Jae and find it offensive that a employee talks about you in that manner because they are being "difficult ". This is not a place of business, nor would I want anybody to experience the experience I've had with LIttle John's Tattoo. I will be reaching out to higher management or seeing what further actions I can take because nobody should have to go through what I went through ... especially at this Tattoo / piercing shop. Their behavior is disgusting and they should be ashamed to be operating as a business with this type of manner or employees.

    This is a very good shop! It is clean, I felt welcome and safe. The artist, Gabe Sandy, was very nice, calm and helpful regarding where to place the tattoo, since I was a bit undecided on that. He chatted with me during the tattooing and was very friendly. The tattoo is amazing and incredibly detailed, he is a truly great artist! Besides that, I made small talk with the receptionist and piercer Avery, who was incredibly sweet, and two other artists, one with lots of face tatts and another with short blond hair. They were very nice to me and pleasant to talk to. Everyone made me feel very welcome, thank you so much.

    Just got started in my second sleeve with Lefty!!! I have been following him since he started out as he is the only artist to have ever tatted me! Not only is his remarkable talent mind blowing, but his fun personality adds to the whole experience!

    Piercing clearly close together . She had to remove it hence the blood spot .
    Efrangeliz M.

    Horrible service !! Me and my sister got pierced BY THE bald guy with gages named TUNA. He pierced her piercings too close together and he refused to fix it ! Saying she should have looked at it and if she wants it fixed that she'll have to pay again . He clearly didn't pierce where he made his markings and denied it as we were looking RIGHT at the marking . He was rude even after we were being super nice and his attitude came on as soon as we told him about how he messed up POLITELY . Would not recommend a place that was blatantly rude and ignorant .

    Outer conch and septum piercing
    Anna S.

    Staff are knowledgeable, respectful and great personalities. I called to get my septum and outer conch on both ears pierced. Called and was able to make an appointment last October, when the appointments for piercings were needed. Currently when my husband asked if he needed to make an appointment for a piercing this week they said walk ins were fine, no appointment needed. Tuna was great making sure the piercings were placed nicely on my ears and it was quick and very little pain. Can't wait to go get more piercings on my ears in the future. Was told if I lost a ball to the piercings I could come back for a replacement.

    You can see 3 holes in this picture. One is the new hole that was pierced: The bottom 2 were old holes. Clearly too close of a piercing.
    Michael Y.

    Went in for 2 piercings on my ears and they pierced my ears too close. Asked for them to fix it and they declined. They pierced below the dot they marked and said it was my fault for moving. Very dissatisfied with the work. Unprofessional and rude as well. I came in very polite and also asked for this to be fixed politely and the piercer "Tuna" was rude when I expressed my dissatisfaction with the piercing. Please don't go here for piercings.

    Ask the Community - Little John's Tattoo

    What is the price range for a septum piercing here?

    My tattoo artist charges by the hour

    Does anyone monitor the sterile technique of instruments? If so, how are piercing guns cleaned?

    No piercing guns are used! As a tattoo parlor, they're under much stricter regulations than another place like Claire's would be. They use needles and have an autoclave on site.

    Can I get my nipples pierced being underage with no parent?

    I remember having to show my ID and verifying I was over 18 so I don't think so. They could definitely let you know if you call before going though.

I come in to see my mother and Damon talking and my mother showed me their Instagram profile. After seeing his portfolio, I immediately booked a same day appointment for later on that evening because the work was impressive. I showed back up and he was very attentive to all the details I wanted, which was crucial for this piece. I got the Joestar birthmark tattoo from the Jojo's Bizzare Adventures manga. The actual tattooing was such a breeze and Damon's vibes during this process was perfection. I'm excited to say I found my new tattoo home and plan on coming back for more pieces soon.

Overall, my piece took about 2 hours to complete and was a dedication to my aunt for Mother's Day. Upon entry, I would've preferred a quicker and more friendly greeting. I was not acknowledged immediately, although staff members were standing within sight. I think there could be a better system for guests, especially new customers. My friend who accompanied me received a piercing. The individual conducting piercings for the day was pleasant and well informed. He allowed for my friend to feel comfortable and ultimately have a smooth transaction. Her process took about 45 minutes with aftercare and preparation included. I might return for other work but was content with the outcome. I can agree with some other posts of pricing being a bit expensive depending on the artists and desired service.

    I did something new over the holidays and got myself a tattoo! I've thought about it many times,…read moreand actually settled on what I was wanting a few years ago, but life kept happening. But I made a plan to get it done while off from work for the holidays. And asked around to friends with tattoos for some local recommendations. I actually got a few people telling me to check out Legacy Irons in Greensboro, and when I reached out and they had open appointments, I made it happen! As an added incentive, my wife even got me a gift card to cover a portion of my new. I ended up booking an appointment with Jave, and from start to finish it was a great experience. He was great to work with, easy communication, very responsive and friendly, offering suggestions to my design, and guiding me in the right direction. During the tattoo Jave explained everything he was doing before, just so there'd be no surprises, and it went quickly and I'm happy with the end results! As far as the shop, it's conveniently located just off Elm street, right across from Little Brother and Natty Greens. The shops a bit small, and when they've got 4 artists doing tattoos at the same time, the space does get a bit crowded. But they make it work. There's a ton of fun and unique art all over the shop giving you plenty to look at and pass the time while getting work down. In addition to tattoos, they also have someone on staff who provides piercings. As I said, it was a great experience, and when I'm ready for another piece, I'm sure I'll head back to Legacy! 10 stars, Highly recommend!

She charged me $70 for the piercing because I asked for the proper metal, titanium. Not only did she put the wrong jewelry in for my anatomy, she also pierced it incorrectly.

I am extremely disappointed in this experience and would like my $70 (plus the tip I gave her) back, but I know I will not get that money. Please choose an actual professional over Vanessa.
