Went to a college around where this piercing/tattoo establishment is back in 2018-2022. Have gotten 4-5 ear piercings at Painted Lady. Just finding out there's a high chance Sera doesn't have her piercing certification.... anyways the piercings I've gotten at this place were solid and healed well but the front desk guy and the piercer Sera are very rude, condescending, impatient, and you pretty much worry about NOT saying something they don't like in order to not be spoken to with a big attitude. read more

We loved our experience at Painted Lady Tattoos! We got sibling tattoos and the artists ensured the art was exactly how we all wanted it. They took their time with us with sizings and exact placement. But most importantly...they did beautiful work! Highly recommend them to anyone wanting a tattoo! read more

So many people have asked me where to get piercings and tattoos done and I always say Painted Lady. Margaret always goes above and beyond. I've been tattooed several times by her along with my sister and even though I don't live in the area anymore I plan on going to her for everything I plan on getting. I have also got my nose pierced and my smiley done by Sera and there is no better piercer out there. read more

Painted Lady Tattoos - My favorite piece she has done. - Tattoo Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

I just moved here from California and I came into this shop to have a 40 year old tattoo finished it's a great little shop yard is so talented and I recommend them in Harrisonburg read more

Their staff that they have is amazing. I haven't had a tattoo done by Margarette but I know she does amazing work. I have seen some of her work and it is beautiful,No I've never had any of the others ink me (yet ). I've seen lots of great we're coming from them as well. I have had Sera puncture me many times. Sera is an amazing piercer she's been doing it now for a long time, I won't say how long because that'll give her age way LOL I 'm not saying that Sera is great just because she's my close friend (love ya bitch!), but because everything she does she knows what she's doing she sterilizes she cleans she explains you everything she's going to do. And she's also very sweet, if you're nervous about a piercing more than likely you're gonna hear a dumb joke come out of her to try to make you relaxed and laugh. After your piercing Sera will go through everything that you need to do to keep your piercing clean and to help it to heal. Listen to what she says, it's all to help you heal and prevent migration and infection! As long as she's not with a client and she's available you can ask her questions you can give her a call as long as she isn't busy. Now Jacob that works at the front desk, he is the man also. Jacob's always been friendly. Jacob's always been one of those people that if you have questions about jewelry if he's not sure or doesn't have a definite answer, he will go find you the answer. All in all they are by far my favorite tattoo/piercing place within Harrisonburg. So if you're looking for a piercing or I looking for a new tattoo book a time so you can go in and see their work you can see the space they work in which is extremely sterile and clean even before the pandemic they wore masks. They take everyone's safety very seriously. So yeah you'll get a piercing you get a tattoo, They're addicting as hell to get! You'll definitely be happy with the results that you get from these folks! There's a couple places to choose from in the Harrisonburg area, but there's only one choice for me and that's painted lady! One thing I do not suggest, is if you've gotten your piercing somewhere else then you need to contact that person for any problems you're having or things like that. I know that sounds harsh, but Sera remembers Who she pierces and To me it's just like going somewhere else for your piercing work and then come somewhere else with questions were they didn't do the work. If they won't answer your questions at the place you went and got pierced, obviously it's not a good place to go in the future.So all in all If you're looking for an amazing tattoo, or an awesome ass piercing you need to go to painted lady!!!! read more

Painted Lady Tattoos - My industrial Sera did for me in 2009 - Tattoo Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

See all

Margaret did a fantastic job on my tattoo. Will DEFINITELY use her again.

I should have written this review a while ago but alas. Anyway, my friends and I had a great experience here! I got my nostril pierced, and my friends got their septum and navel pierced, respectively. The awesome woman who pierced us (Sera) isn't always on site so make sure to call ahead! We all had a great time conversing with the staff, all of whom are professional and friendly. The gentleman behind the counter was very patient with me as I asked about prices for everything over the phone (and he was super friendly and cute in person!). They also have a nice variety of jewelry to choose from for your inital piercing, which I think is especially great. You can also purchase jewelry there as well, and many of the pieces have a lifetime warranty. Anyway, I proudly display my Painted Lady Tattoo bumper sticker on my laptop so everyone knows where to go for quality service! read more

Went to get a piercing and ended up not getting one. I asked a couple questions and the piercer yelled from the other room. I was already nervous enough and she definitely didn't help. If your looking for patience and a good experience don't come here. read more

Will never get a tattoo here again margrett fucked up my whole piece. Stencil looked good but apparently she Couldn't even tattoo in straight god damn line . Going to get it fixed by a different artist once it's healed. Would rate 0 stars if I could. SHAKEY TERRIBLE LINE-WORK A FIRST YEAR APPRENTICE WOULD HAVE MORE PROFESSIONAL LINE WORK read more

We weren't sure what to think by the looks of the sign, etc, but looks are truly deceiving. We made an appointment for two weeks ago which was cancelled because the artist was sick. So we were rescheduled for today. We are glad we kept the appointment! Margaret is the best tattoo artist either of us has ever seen and we've been to 2 and 5 respectively. She took great time and care to listen to what we wanted, explain her concerns and come up with excellent solutions. Not only that but she was extremely fair priced and didn't try to go crazy with the charges. We will definitely be back and you should go too! read more

Painted Lady Tattoos - The hand drawn monogram Margaret did for me. - Tattoo Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

I got my first tattoo here and it turned out perfect. All the employees were so friendly and made my experience as comfortable as possible!

I went for my first tattoo and everyone was AMAZING from the owner to the artist. They were nice and my tattoo turned out better than I could have imagined! read more

Tattoos are great. On the other hand piercer is very rude and unprofessional. After asking around i found out she is not even state licensed to pierce. Avoid piercing at this place at all costs. Better places in town like Alley Cat and Dreamland Tattoo. read more

Margaret is amazing! The whole shop has a great vibe. Sera is amazing also. I've gone here for all my tattoo and piercing needs. They are always clean and professional. I don't trust any place else with this. read more

My nose piercing had closed today and I went in Painted Lady and I was spoke to in a very rude and unpleasant way. Sera is the rudest piercer I have ever met. She pretty much told me it was my fault because I had bought nose rings from the mall and she told me she wasn't going to "deal with this." On top of her refusing to open up my piercing hole again, I laid my wallet and keys down on the glass counter while I listened to her talk and when I was about to leave I lifted them off the counter and my keys of course touched the glass and she straight up told me "Don't do that, don't beat on the glass!" I went to another shop in the area and they opened up my nose piercing for me and they were extremeley helpful. I have also found out that Sera doesn't even have her piercing certification and should not even be legally working there. I will never, ever go back to this shop and I don't recommend anyone else too. Don't waste your money on this shop. You will just get ripped off and talked to like a dog. read more
