I decided that I wanted to get a naval piercing and called around to a few different tattoo places in 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. read more

Ocean Mystique Ink Gallery - My first and favorite piece. - Tattoo Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I had a great experience here. I had been wanting to get my nose pierced for years and finally mustered enough courage to get it done. From the time I walked in until the time I left took all of 15 minutes. The room was very clean, and the piercer (forgot his name) was very nice and made me feel comfortable. The piercing didn't even hurt like I imagined. If you check in with Yelp you get 10% off of a tattoo or piercing. They were actually running a special so I didn't haven't to use it. I'll probably use it when I get my next tattoo. To sum it up I would definitely recommend them and will definitely be back! read more

Ocean Mystique Ink Gallery - I love my nose piercing! - Tattoo Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

The last time I got any piercing was when I was like 4 years old and my mom did it in the kitchen with ice (to help numb the ears) and a sewing needle (sanitized with fire). Old school!! Fast forward to years later, here I am getting a piercing in the innermost cartilage fold of my ear to help with my migraines. My coworker friend swears by it so we're both here getting it done. Only time will tell... The staff was friendly, the place clean and there was a TV in the waiting area which was cool as I waited for my artist. My piercer was Stewart and he was GREAT!! He explained everything he was going to do and was patience with me until I was ready to go for it. He made sure he didn't cross contaminated anything while working on my ears to avoid me getting any infections, etc. I can appreciate that because the way my body is set up I can get sick easy. If I was to get another piercing done I will definitely see Stewart. He's talented from what he did for me and my friend and I trust him. I missed out in a Yelp deal by "checking in" and getting a discount so Yelpers don't check in and close your phone like I did :-( read more

Ocean Mystique Ink Gallery - Daith Piercing - OUCH!! - Tattoo Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I've been to this shop on a few occasions and I think I've found my place. A very non intimidating vibe, they help with ideas and placement. I came in to get two tattoos done on my inner forearm and was assisted quickly and given opinions on design and she happily made adjustments. I didn't have to wait long at all as a walk-in. This time I sat with Aj Gavin and he was an absolute delight. As someone who deals with anxiety, my nerves were calmed with funny candor and professionalism. We didn't start until we got the placement of my tattoos as even as possible, even asking others in the shop if we were spot on. The lines are clean as heck- super satisfying. The whole experience was relaxing and quite frankly therapeutic for me and I'm already planning for my next one :) read more

I have 5 tattoos - each from a different tattoo parlor. At Ocean Mystique they were somewhat dismissive when my best friend and I arrived... I just got the feeling that since I was in my business attire from work that they assumed I knew nothing about tattoos and I was out of place (though I have about an 18 inch tattoo on my back that can't be seen unless I'm in a bathing suit). While no one was outwardly rude to us they seemed like we were wasting their time or just idiots in general which was annoying to me but I suppose they figure the big tattoos like arm pieces and back pieces that take 5 hours are more worth their time than our small 10 minute tattoos. My friend and I both decided to get very small tattoos for $60 each - which is probably the minimum price for a tattoo there, no problem, they also told us when we paid there was a $3 service fee for a credit card, ok - no problem I get it. Before I paid I told the girl I wanted a pink bumblebee tattoo - not yellow and black - and that I had heard pink was hard to show, etc. etc. and asked about it. She said no worries the guy would do whatever I wanted so I went ahead and paid. My friend went first, she got a small orange heart tattooed on her wrist - it was over quickly and we didn't have to wait very long at all - maybe 10-15 minutes before she got her tattoo so that was nice. The same guy tattooed me who did my friend. Things started out simple enough, he drew the bumblebee on my foot and I got the feeling he was insulted "as an artist" when I didn't like the drawing he did on my foot. It didn't look like what I wanted and I told him I wanted it to have a bigger head so it looked more cartoon-like as I wanted it to be more cutesy wootsy and less realistic. He proceeded to argue with me for about 10-15 minutes about what looked right and how it needed to look on my foot and how he needed to do what he needed to do to make it look "right". Which pissed me off anyway because it's my foot and I have to see it for the rest of my life. He redrew it once more and it still looked more like a caterpillar with wings to me than a bumblebee and he asked another tattooer that was back there doing a big back piece to look and "tell her it's the same". At this point I said, "I'm not trying to argue with you but it's my f*cking foot after all." and the other tattoo artist just said if that's what she wants then make a stencil and do the tattoo she wants... My tattooer acted all put-out and threw his tattoo pen down to go make a stencil. When he came back I told him I didn't want the lines really thick as I wanted it to look more like a sketch and he got mad about that. I also told him I wanted it to be pink and he said, "I don't do pink on people" to which I replied, "Well if the girl up front would've said that when I asked before I paid, I wouldn't have gotten the tattoo." (I have pink hearts on my other foot that are over 5 years old and they are still as pink as the day I got them). He said, "With all due respect she wasn't a tattoo artist" and I said, "Well maybe you should tell her that". He eventually relented and did the pink but not before telling me it would fade and I would be back in 5 months (like I said my pink hearts are going 5 years strong right now - on my other foot). By this point he seemed really pissed off and it appeared to me that he was taking everything personally, which I didn't get because I just wanted the tattoo that was going to be on MY foot forever to look the way I wanted it to. The quick sketch he did when we walked in on paper was adorable and I loved it, so I had already said I liked his artwork... I got the feeling he was thinking he was some bigshot artist and I was insulting his ability which wasn't my intent, I simply wanted the tattoo to look how I wanted it to look because it was my foot and I had been thinking about it for about 6 months, not how some complete stranger I just met wanted it to look that would never see it again. Once he started tattooing I tried to be nice and make some small talk or break the ice but he was having none of it and was basically an a**hole the rest of the time I was there with short answers and a REALLY bad attitude. Overall it was a terrible experience and I would NEVER go here again or tell anyone else to. While I understand some placements or requests are ridiculous and you take the artist's expertise on it (and I have done so in the past) until this I've never had a tattoo artist argue with me about what I want on my skin or the colors I want and tell me what he will and will not do to people. It was ridiculous. My bumblebee is cute - but for all the trouble - it wasn't worth it. read more

I went in without an appointment to see if I could get a tattoo I had roughly drawn in my notes app. When I got there the guy told me it looked like a 5 year old drew it, I explained that it was my rough drawing not the exact piece I wanted and then he drew it up for me. The initial guy i met wasn't rude just a tough guy, i wasn't offended. After that he helped me decide which way it should go and we joked about it being upside down, the person who did the tattoo was very friendly and talked with me throughout. He was quick and it literally took maybe 10 minutes. I get so many compliments now. I love it. read more

Ocean Mystique Ink Gallery - Tattoo Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I arrived here very excited at 10:45 AM for two piercings. They'd been open since 10 so I figured they'd be all set up and ready so I walk in and I'm greeted by the receptionist with, "Hi, can I help you?" And I'm like yeah I wanna get two piercings. And she says, "Oh our piercer isn't coming in until around 4:30". So I'm disappointed and say "oh.." and she said "yeah. Have a nice day". So I left and went to VB ink instead and it was great. They have a piercer all the time. Ocean Mystique should really specify what times they'll actually offer their services and not waste potential customers' time. read more

Thank you Najee Mayes for doing my "The Nun" piece from the conjuring series! I went on deployment last year and this tattoo was all I could think of. Finally after two sessions it turned out even better than I imagined. He really knows his black and white because he also did a cover up for my husband which is really amazing. I'm really pleased to have found a wonderful tattoo artist in comparison to the shitty ones before I came to ocean mystique. read more

Came back to this awesome place to get my septum pierced. So happy that I did because Stewart did an amazing job on my piercing. He made sure that it wouldn't be crooked, and that I'm able to flip it up for when I go to work. He does an awesome job distracting you from the pain when he's putting the piercings in. Which is good cause I'm a chicken once I see those needles. Overall, I'm so happy I found a professional piercer in Virginia, highly recommend this place. I'll be coming back again in the near future! read more

So accommodating and welcoming!! Got our group in on such short notice and took great Covid precautions!

This was the best place I have ever gotten a tattoo from! Im here from Ohio and Brenan and not remembering the other gents name were so awesome.. wishing I could bring them back to ohio with me!!! LOVE my tattoo!!! read more

I am on my honeymoon in Virginia, and decided to start married life off right - by covering up a horrible tattoo on my back that I got when I was 18. I first went to Studio Evolve, but they were booked for a week - and snobby as hell to boot. I asked if they had any recommendations for another parlor, as I was only in town for a week. First they asked if I used google, which is a pretty dick think to say, and then they pointed me towards this shop. And I'm really glad they did! First of all, huge difference in attitude when I first walked in. The guy behind the counter was friendly and helped me out when I said I wanted a coverup, but didn't know what I actually wanted to put there. He steered me towards two books of the artists he thought would be able to take on the project, and when I voiced my concern about color quality (the awful tattoo was color and it had already faded to almost nothing in only 6 years), he recommended Jaimeson. We met, talked about what we could put there, sketched a bit, and set up an appointment a few days from then. He was cool with me emailing him ideas, and cool when I asked him to change the drawing around. The tattoo itself is awesome. The color looks absolutely stunning, and I'll be sure to update this review in a few months with how it holds up, though I'm not worried because I saw one of his tattoos on someone and the color looked incredible. The process of getting the tattoo was also great. He talked to me when I wanted to talk, and he was quiet when I wanted to be quiet, without me having to say so. I think he's pretty good at reading what people need. I sat for about 3.5 hours before I had to call it quits. I will be flying back in a few months to finish! It's unfortunate that people have had bad experiences at this place, because I can't speak more highly of it! Yes, tattoos are expensive. When they're not, well....that's how I ended up needing a tattoo covered. read more

I go here frequently, and it is not so drastically dismissive. I feel very sad that a previous review had such an awful experience, I love these guys. Both of my calves are covered in amazing artwork from Gentleman Jim, who works at Ocean Mystique. I have been to Ocean Mystique 5 times over the last 6 months since my Artist of preference Gentleman Jim has moved there. While they could in fact use a permanent counter girl that just focused on customer service and solidifying price quotes & concepts between artists and clients - they are amazing at what they do. When you walk in, you need to go right up to the counter and tell someone why you are there, because the piercer is usually the one out front and he does not know regulars from those who may be wary or looking around. This will immediately clear up the "being treated out of place" attitude that a previous review seemed to feel she encountered. The thing about people with tattoos is, we don't care if you have tattoos :) All their books and artwork binders are hanging on the walls so you could spend hours looking for a tattoo that identifies with you. All of their artists will be very honest with you in terms of size, color, cover-up, placement - you just need to speak with them and have an open mind about what's going to be best for your tattoo. I have personally been told 'NO, that will not look its best, how about we __________' and it resulted in my favorite tattoo thus far. I strongly suggest giving them a chance. They also have a Norfolk location. read more

Very unhappy!!! The counter help was friendly enough and designed the tattoo I wanted by coping and pasting images from the internet. The "artists," too busy being pretentious, WAY overestimated how long it would take the "create" by tracing lines and, therefore, WAY overcharged. Tattoo "artists" make terrible business people. read more

Ocean Mystique Ink Gallery - Avoid - Tattoo Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I gave this place more stars than I wanted to, based on overall service, The stars I did give were for my husband and I's artist, Mike Boone, who was AWESOME. It was my husbands first ever tattoo and my 20th-ish tattoo. So we were getting something simple. We walked in and service was already kind of "meh." The rockabilly redhead was rude; the Simpson's-Comic Book Guy's jokes sucked, he tried to charge us 10% extra for a credit card charge even though we were told there would be no fee by the front counter girl. We interacted with all of 4 people that work in the shop and one was awesome, one doesn't require comment because she was a decent human, and the two mentioned above were just nasty humans that deserve a Krampus visit. Again, this review is only a reflection of the general atmosphere of the establishment and some of its employees. We would probably endure it all again, with cash, so we only have to deal with Mike. read more

stopped by here last week Saturday or Friday, anyways the young man up front was very nice greeted me as soon as I walked in. I was interested in getting a tattoo but was 100% what I wanted and where I wanted it. I was curious on having the artist help me come up with some ideas. I looked thru the portfolios and decided Eric B would be the best fit. when he came out to talk to me he was so very rude about helping me pick out ideas. played very loud metal music to the point where it gave me a headache as I noticed when he was doing it he picked the wrong color that I wanted for the center of the flower but I didn't say anything I let it go I don't know if I'll be returning because just the overall experience of his crappy attitude would make me not want to come back. There are 30 different shops in Virginia Beach go to a different one this one smells like smoke anyways read more

I wandered in on a whim for a nose piercing for my wedding anniversary gift to myself. Jay was on staff to take care of my piercing needs. The environment was very peaceful and inviting from the moment I walked in. After some preliminary paperwork and a once over of proper aftercare I was back in the booth for my piercing. Jay was so friendly and made me feel very comfortable. I blinked and the hard part was over. No fuss. He put a nice hoop in my freshly poked nostril and I was on my way to my next fun activity. I intend to come back soon for some more piercings. Thank you Jay! read more

This tattoo shop is the one you want to go to if you want someone that cares about what they are putting on your body. Hands down the best customer service. My mother in law and I went about two weeks ago to get tattoos together and they helped her create what she was looking for and advised her against going to big in one spot. They actually care about there work and about how it is going to look. I absolutely love my tattoo that I got and am definitely going back for my next one. Stan is awesome and does great work! He let me come in just to have him look at my tattoo after the fact to make sure it was healing right and it was! I am beyond happy with this location and hope that anyone looking for a place to go will choose Ocean Mystique! read more

My husband got a tattoo... paid $400 plus tip. Was too nice to tell the tattoo artist that it was awful. Decided that if that original artist did a terrible job completing the tattoo that he definitely didn't want him to fix it . That tattoo looks terrible... shading was incomplete , blotchy, and incredibly lacking in skill. The line work was awful. Some of the lines weren't completed and on one part of the tattoo he didn't color it AT ALL just left the ALMOST black outline. I would not recommend going to this place. The skill represented in the completed tattoo was that of a rookie who just learned to work at tattoo gun. We've been to 4 different tattoo shops and have NEVER gotten a tattoo with this many errors and or flaws. If you are looking to pay for what you get... don't pay more than $25 dollars because that's what I would've paid for that tattoo that my husband received . read more

Mike did a great job on my tattoo and I'm very happy with his work! The lines are crisp and he doesn't have a heavy hand like some other artists. I absolutely plan on returning for my next tattoo. The only annoying thing is that there's a fee to use a credit card or else you have to withdraw cash from their on site ATM. read more

Today I went to Ocean Mystique Ink Gallery with a group of friends and we had a phenomenal experience. We were so thankful to have had the chance to get tattoos in such short notice. All the artists were gracious and very talented. Personally, I was tattooed by Brendan and he did such a good job. I will definitely be coming back soon! read more

Came to VB for my bachelorette party, and we all decided we wanted to get tatted. One of my bridesmaids found this shop, and the receptionist was super helpful with brining in artists to accommodate all of us (5) and maintain social distancing. The receptionist was so sweet and helpful, the artists were so kind, and the shop had an awesome vibe. We all got exactly what we wanted - Brendan tatted myself and two of my bridesmaids, and we all agree he was the most talented and kind artist we've ever had. Will definitely go back here for my next tat!! read more

We were in VA Beach for the weekend. Decided I was going to go ahead and get this tattoo I've been thinking about for a few months. Went into Ocean Mystique and didn't have to wait very long, only about an hour. JB did my tattoo and he was very friendly and funny. Could have hung with this guy! He even touched up my other tattoo that I got in Thailand (it looked quite jailhouse) for no extra charge. I highly recommend JB for your next tattoo!!! read more

My friend and I went in to get industrial piercings tonight. Definitely one of, if not the best piercing experiences I have had! I have a service dog, which confuses and throws a lot of places off, but Jay B. was amazing at being accommodating and non-judgmental. My friend and I's piercing were quick, painless, and very clean. Jay B was thorough with the after care instructions. I will definitely go back if I need another piercing!!!!!!!! If you are hesitant for a good place to go, THIS IS IT! Ask for Jay B! read more

Went into get my daith pierced and Stew was great. Very professional and made me feel comfortable. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the fact that my friend had to wait in the lobby. 1 person back at a time. No handholding support (for her, not me) Other than that it was a great experience. I'm planning on going back for my next tattoo. read more

I just wanted two words on the side of my foot and decided to check the pricing here. I asked the man at the front desk about it and he said, "First off, you will have a hard time finding anyone who will do that because it fades and no one wants a tattoo that fades. Also who wants a tattoo that won't be visible? So, it will probably cost you a couple hundred dollars to get that done." I said thanks and left. I am going to be an attorney and don't care if it fades or isn't visible. That is the reason I want to get it there. Besides, it would be visible in flip flops which is what I wear most of the year. I guess this review is just to warn people about the pretentious/overly expensive venture I had to this "reputable" tattoo gallery. I definitely plan on seeking out other parlors in the area that are cheaper and more friendly. read more

This is one of the worst shops in vb, I got a tattoo of my zodiac sign didn't even take 25 minutes for the artist to tattoo it in/on my arm, the artist was an hour of not more late to my app, and they over charge like a bitch normally I could see paying over $100 if it was a detailed piece and it took an hour to draw but it didn't and I got charged $100 more than I should've paid, I also bought a nutty bar out of their vending machine and it was 3 months expired. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. I haven't gotten a piercing there their jewelry doesn't seem like the grade of jewelry I would put in my skin I would rather not have paint flakes in a fresh piercing. However if you're looking to get a shitty tattoo at a shitty price this is the place for you. read more

I chose this shop to get my first tattoo because it looked professional and I had visited a few times before to take a look at what the quality of art was. I personally thought I got a fair price for the tattoo I wanted. The artist who tattooed me, Just Rob, didn't allow my husband back there because of distraction, which honestly was the only thing I didnt like about this place. Rob took his time, did a great job on the outline & gave me his card to contact him if I needed a touch up or had questions. IMO, excellent customer service. He went over the dos and don'ts and let me know that heal time and what not differs because of skin type. There wasn't a giant line, the guy at the desk was ok. He did his job & didn't say much. The waiting area has drinks, water, TV and a ton of art. Honestly, you get what you pay for is true about everything you buy. One more thing, Rob made sure that I was absolutely sure about design and placement. I made him change it three times and he was very nice about it. Thank you Rob! read more

I made a yelp account just to post this because it has been bothering me for a few days.went here to get my ears pierced, and I would like to say that the place is clean and everyone seemed nice and so the piercing itself was done well. However, I came with a male friend to get the piercing done, and the piercer (whose name I forget) wouldn't let him come back in the room with us. I thought this was strange because I have come here before with a female friend and had no issues with more than one person during the piercing, especially given my fear of needles. I was a little put off and then more nervous, but thought it was fine. In the back room, the piercer began to make jokes about the top I was wearing, telling me that he "wasnt going to look at my boobs", and then proceeded to go on and tell me that the size of them didn't interest him. Mind you, I am 18 years old, and he was in his mid 40s. Additionally, my breasts should not have come up in conversation, since it was my ears being pierced, not my nipples. The piercings themselves were fine, but after they were done, I asked if I could tip him on my card since I had used all of my cash. He paused for a long time and then heavily implied that I had offered sex as a tip. I had backed out of the room into the hallway at this point and just tried to laugh it off, and left as quickly as I could. When I told my friend about it in the car I realized that this wasn't normal and was something that shouldn't have happened. I'm not sure if the policy on having a friend in the back changed, but I have been to this shop three times and never had a problem with having a friend with you as you get something done, and it seemed to me that this man just wanted me alone. This is the first time something like this has happened to me, and it could have been a complete misunderstanding, but I was really uncomfortable, and I don't intend to ever come back. read more

I have been in many times and had many friends get piercings and tattoos here. i researched a lot of shops and though about my tattoo for a long time. last night me and my sister went in and got our tattoos, my first. I had an amazing experience, the lady that helped us was really nice, i email the store a picture of an idea of what we wanted, a sister tattoo, She made what we wanted on the computer and she tweaked it to exactly what we wanted, the price quote was amazing, the cheapest we where quoted for. JB did our tattoos, even tho my sis wasn't aloud to be back with me when i got it done he made me comfortable and i would go back a million times. i love my tattoo and they are no dought my tattoo spot now. read more

The staff themselves were very nice. They SEEMED to know what they were talking about, however. I got a nipple piercings about 2 months ago by Pony and 1) he peirced me layed down which was a red flag in the first place (I should've known better) and 2) he peirced BOTH of my areolas way too deep. Neither of the peircings were actually through or even close to my nipple. I went to another peircer who immediately saw what was wrong without me telling them anything and she took them out. I now have permanent scars around my areolas. I also got the smallest of tattoos on my ring finger by Shannon who refused to consider where I wanted it placed. She was very rude. I tried my best to be understanding of her experiences but anyone else I knew that tattooed or been tattooed agreed with me she should've done better. She tattooed my finger WAY too hard and practically all of the ink scabbed and fell off without me touching them unless moisturizing. They are now splotchy and have scarring. Im sure they have had some good experiences before, however I extremely unhappy with my service here and Shannon was extremely rude to me. And I can't get a refund. read more

Let me state that for years I have used yelp to look places up but have never post before well I found something worth it. My girlfriend and I randomly decided to get some tattoos that we had been wanting for awhile. After reading a few reviews and scanning the gallery we choose this place. I find anything negative on here hard to believe we walked right in told them what we wanted the worked it to size just perfect and took us right away minus the small wait for the sketch and design to be done. While we waited the front desk/ head piercer was super chill and friendly. Now as for the tattoos I had JB and my girlfriend had Jen we can't complement these two enough they where friendly we joked around and as far as tattoos go they where pretty painless they took their time and made sure everything was perfect and the skin wasn't hacked to pieces by a overly heavy hand. We live in North Baltimore and are very strongly considering making another 5 hour trip down to see them again. They are honestly worth it. read more

I visited Ocean Mystique Ink Gallery recently to get a new tattoo on my forearm. My other tats have been from other establishments and I had never been there before so I was slightly wary at first, but those feelings were quickly dispelled. The people at the front desk were friendly, and had a tattoo artist come out to talk about what I wanted. I had brought a sketch with some script and stars around it. He advised me that the stars should be a bit bigger otherwise they wouldn't look right. He made a design inspired off my sketch and it looked wonderful. It was just what I had in mind, but just couldn't adequately put down on paper. Needless to say my tat looks beautiful, and several people have asked where I got it done. Thanks Stan!!!!!! read more
