Got my first tattoo here. Killian was very friendly and professional. He disinfected everything and…read morekept the shop very clean. He answered every question I had about aftercare. I would recommend this place to anyone who's new to tattoos and want a safe, easy experience.

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.

Our artist and work was fulfilling for the little idea we had to build a memory. Appreciative of the availability and work! Great atmosphere, artists and staff, even other guest at the time were all nice to hang out with while getting worked on and waiting! Tattoo work from resident artists and other artist seen there that day was amazing to see. Shop was very clean, decor was amazing, also picked up a shirt that was just as awesome.

Got a finger tattoo by Judi who said she's done them before. Absolutely horrible and it's…read morecompletely faded after not even a month. Tried to reach out to her multiple times and never got a response. Tried calling the place during business hours and it went straight to voicemail. Paid over $150 for this and it's gone even after I followed her after care suggestion. Horrible tattoo and horrible service. I would not recommend this place at all. Don't go here

I love you both so much Painless J and Laura!!!!!! You both ROCK!!!!

I got my first tattoo at electric unicorn and it was a great experience. The artist made me feel…read moresuper comfortable and talked me through it. She made conversation to distract me from the pain during the actual process as I have a pretty low pain tolerance and did not know what to expect. This is the reference image and then the artist sketched a new tattoo idea based on my preferences (thinner line and about 3x3 in). Very positive experience and probably will be a returning customer. They also accept tips via card or cash which is convenient.

Billy Stardust is amazing! He has done three tattoos for me so far and I will be back for more…read more He is artistic and collaborative. His line work is top notch!

My baber spencer is always respectful and always does a great job. Coming from someone who has alot of anxiety, especially when getting my haircut it is nice to show a picture and get exactly what you want. Definitely more pricey than alot of places around here but the quality of the work and the great service always makes it worth it for me.

Awesome people and atmosphere! Everybody is super friendly and make sure my sons haircut is perfect!read more

Everything was clean and process was fast and easy. I'm not very experienced with tattoos and tend to be a baby with pain and can't even look at needles but Jacqi is very experienced and made the whole process smooth and easy. Definitely reccomend both Jacqi and Wicked Goddess- her art style is soooooo cool and even though I havent been pierced here they have a huge jewelry selection.

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!
