Went here with my partner, we wanted matching tattoos '831' on our hands. I have MUTLIPLE hand tattoos, I have friends that have their own shops back in the 757. NEVER have I ever had a tattoo IN MY LIFE that didn't stick. By day 2 it wasnt even dark. I reached out to Shaun 4 days later explaining it didn't stay and got no reply. After $120 for a tattoo that was 3 numbers and speaking to other artists that I am close with, they informed me he didn't stick me hard enough. Basically just a scratch at this point. I'm extremely disappointed with the quality, the communication as a whole, just is not worth the time or money. I've attached my partners and my tattoo. The vibe was great, everyone in shop was genuinely great but this just wasn't a good experience. read more

We got our daughter's ears pierced today at Rock N Roll Tattoo. It was her ninth birthday and she was so excited about getting her ears pierced for the first time. We decided that a tattoo parlor was the best option. We couldn't have been more excited to have Sheawn as the piercer for our daughter. He was absolutely amazing. He explained step by step to our daughter what to expect throughout the entire process. Even though our daughter was nervous, Sheawn made her feel so comfortable. We highly recommend if you are trying to find somewhere to go for a piercing GO TO Rock N Roll Tattoo and ask for Sheawn. I promise you won't be disappointed. Also this photo is totally going on our Christmas card this year! read more

Rock N Roll Tattoo & Piercing - Piercing Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I popped in without an appointment to have someone fix a piercing that had become lodged in the cartilage. They were extremely and accommodating. They fixed the problem, putting a new stud and gave excellent after care instructions. Highly recommend. read more

Was able to schedule an appointment on the day of with quick and thorough communication through their email. The shop has a very clean comfortable atmosphere to it as well. I love that they have the option for anodized jewelry as well. My piercer was Kensley and she was very thorough at explaining the process to me and making me feel at ease, excellent service and great pricing as well. Will certainly be back read more

Normally I reserve my Yelp reviews strictly to my food experiences and the food industry. However, on the rare occasion that a business proves exceptional, I will Yelp. Prior to coming to rock n roll, my sister and I visited another piercing business and continued going(don't ask why) to be disappointed, infected, irritated, and just clearly had botched work. We came here on a whim because she had a Tragus piercing she wanted removed. A keloid surfaced and was irritating her ear. We went to get it removed and the piercer at rock n roll salvaged the piercing, removed the previous earring, replaced it, and provided us with a care plan to clean and take care of it. Let me also mention that with all of that and we were only charged $10. We were mind blown by the service. He knew what he was doing, he was kind, so clearly validated that the piercing was botched, and still managed to salvage it. We came in to get it removed and left with new jewelry that felt so much better. The work was clean and they didn't try to sell us products we didn't need. Rather wrote down what we needed and helped us in the best way. So so impressed and so happy at how it all turned out. Their jewelry options are not only affordable and so pretty but they are quality pieces that fit your body. It's steel that's meant to go in piercings. They will not screw you over. They know what they are doing and how to do it. Will definitely be coming back to pierce as well as purchase jewelry. This is our new piercing spot!! TIP YOUR PIERCER! read more

My friends and I walked in to get tattoos for her birthday after calling ahead to see if anyone was available. Right when we walked in we were warmly greeted and helped. Tony was awesome. From the start he was kind and patient- and the entire experience was great. I showed him a picture of what I wanted and he was able to free hand it so much better with some cool added details. We will definitely be back. read more

Super experienced piercer, Tyler! He did a great job piercing my helix and fixing other ear piercings that previous piercers messed up. Great "bedside" manners and not intimidating! read more

Waited around while the artists talked about work drama and was barely acknowledged. I was one of two clients waiting to be stenciled. Megan put the stencil on me and didn't come back. I had been in the studio for an hour at this point. She wouldn't do it at the size I wanted either. I got tired of waiting while they talked about work drama so I left. She messaged me on Instagram apologizing and I was cordial with her. Then she blocked me on Instagram and was sent this by someone. So unprofessional and immature. Went back to an old artist of mine instead and he did the tattoo at the size I want. read more

Called the day before and was able to get an appointment the next day! I've been to this location and the one on Capital several times and always had a great experience. Tyler was my piercer who was super friendly and helpful and made sure I was comfortable and happy with my piercings(: totally recommend going to him(: (got my forward helix and conch) read more

I just got my nipple piercings done by Tyler and even my friend who already had gotten her done by someone else complimented how steady his hand was! I was super nervous but he made the entire process as relatively painless and stress free as possible. They are also the cheapest place for nipple piercings in Raleigh that I have found! We only paid $80 total (without tip) for both ($40 per nipple). read more

We arrived at our appointment time on the dot. As we got there, there were others waiting most likely for their appointment also. They told us to wait, which we didn't mind doing at all. That was until it was 7:20 (our appointment time was 6:30) and they started taking walk in's and not tending to us. Other than that service was wonderful and the staff was such sweethearts. Kensley did our piercings today and did a wonderful job. They were super sweet and were super reassuring about everything in the whole process. Did an amazing job on both our helix and lobe piercings, while also dealing with 3 obnoxious teenage girls! I would recommend getting a piercing there if you don't mind waiting extra time than what you set an appointment for! read more

Went to Rock N Roll over winter holidays with an infected piercing and Amanda totally saved me, can't thank you enough for your kind and helpful advice!!! 5 stars all around read more

Lee was great. Very personable, friendly and knowledgeable. He put me at ease and made me very comfortable.

The guy was nice, I just don't understand how you can f*ck up two Xs. They were supposed to be symmetrical, and the stencil he used was way thinner than the blocky final product. Sucks to cover with a patch right after getting it done and then seeing how bad the job was done later when you take the patch off. I'm getting it fixed- definitely going somewhere else. Don't believe me? Take a look at the picture. read more

I came here for ear piercings in the side cartilage where regular mall earring stores won't pierce. They were polite, knowledgeable and highly skilled in addition to being very reasonably priced! Great job! I'll continue to go here for ear piercings! read more

I came in yesterday as a walk-in to get my nose pierced. We were immediately greeted by the two lovely humans working with a polite attitude. Amanda did my nose piercing and was so great about ensuring everything was clean and clearly explaining what she was doing/explaining how much it would hurt. I was in and out in about 15 minutes and my nose piercing looks amazing! They also had free stickers which is always a plus. I had a wonderful experience here and I will definitely be back very soon for my next piercing! read more

I walked in very last minute(around 9:30ish) on a whim to get my cartilage pierced($30-not bad at all). Jimmy was so nice and helpful, he talked me through the whole thing and throughly explained how I should care for my piercing, and helped me to figure out what exactly I'm allergic to for earrings and guided me on what metals to buy/not buy. I've had the piercing for about 3 weeks(I waited to review to ensure that no infection or anything happened) with absolutely no problems! I have recommended RnR to everyone who's asked me and will be returning shortly to get even more ear piercings!! read more

Kensley did a great job on piercing my sons nose. As she was getting her area prepped, there two girls up front sitting at the desk and one of them went on and on about her friend and how he sent her D*@k pics and which I thought was very very unprofessional for a business and even more so that my 13 year old was standing there and listening to the entire conversation due to not having anywhere else to go? If you want to talk like that when there are no customers, knock yourself out but very inappropriate when you have customers. Kensley though was AMAZING!!!! read more

Walk-ins my ass. We came in for 3 tiny tattoos and were treated like we were wasting their time. Sean had terrible bedside manner with us. We also wanted jewelry which was a joke since the employees just stared at us and offered NO help. $200 for 20 min of tattoo work and no jewelry left a bad taste in my mouth. Not going back. Ever. read more

Amanda was absolutely amazing!! Piercings were painless and she was the sweetest! I also appreciated her honesty in regards to the piercings I was going between. Would never go to anyone else, referring her to everyone! read more

Spoke to the piercer over the phone (not knowing that she was the piercer until she told me) to see if the actual piercer was in today. Told her that I would be there 20-30 minutes. I get there and I'm not serviced. They heard the door looked at me and continued to talk to each other. In the customer service world, you stop what you are doing and see what the customer would like. Tried to get someone's attention but I was ignored. read more

After emailing back and forth for a week, and them telling me they definitely had time to do both mine and my husband's tattoos, it turns out they really had no time or inclination to do both our tattoos on the day they promised. What I thought was a set appt was really them just wanting me to come in and talk. With so many tattoo parlors in the Raleigh area, I feel like they just wasted my time all week. Why did I bother sending them the artwork? Dont waste your time. They don't seem to have their shit together at all. read more

Not the best place I've been to but not the worse. The piercer put my cartilage earring on so wonky that when I went to another piercer to change the jewelry she couldn't get it off. It's not a terrible place yo go if you're tight on options. read more

Lee did EXCELLENT work on my piercing. He explained everything about the procedure with no rush, and provided follow-up to ensure everything turned out great, which it did. --Richard B. read more

Tyler pierced both myself and my brother and did a wonderful job. I got three ear piercings at once and Tyler created a design I love and had the best suggestions for jewelry. For three piercings, I barely felt a thing. Wonderful customer service, clean practices, and appropriate pricing. I have found my new shop! The apprentice (I don't want to call her the wrong name so I'll update once I confirm her name is...Amanda?) was welcoming and very helpful when I called a million times trying to figure out my own schedule. Thank you!! read more

Great place. I went in. They were able to help me. Would recommend for your first ink

I wanted a ear piercing. I just walked in. Booom done!!!! I'm definitely going back to get more piercings and tattoos there.

The absolute worst! Horrible and extremely rude Customer service. Go someplace where your time and money is valued - this ain't it!

Amanda was a good piercer for my cartilage. BUT DO NOT LET KAT LAY A FINGER ON YOU. On monday i had gotten my naval pierced and a change of jewellery in my cartilage. My naval piercing is about 10° crooked (very noticeable)probably since she let it FALL OUT AND PUT IT BACK IN. Also my cartilage piercing was bleeding after she tugged and pushed on it for 5-10 minutes trying to change the jewellery. Keep in mind she has chosen the wrong size of jewellery, Amanda got the piece Kat was struggling with in, in less than 30 seconds, and my ear was pouring out blood even though i've had it for a year!! I'm furious!!!! She even looked high I'm going to keep pushing my piercing and hopefully it will heal properly. Or i'm going to have to take my piercing out (which i've been waiting to get for YEARS) and let it heal then get it again and risk having it reject! A waist of $55, and my time. DONT LET KAT AT THE SHOP OFF OF GLENWOOD TOUCH YOU!!!!!!!!!! ITLL BE A GRAVE MISTAKE! Update: I spoke with Amanda and she was very helpful. She sent pictures to the head piercer, and took it out for me. She's going to re-pierce it once it's healed and use a new piece of jewellery (I got to keep the first one, so free jewellery for being inconvenienced) read more

Rock N Roll Tattoo & Piercing - CROOKED!!!! - Piercing Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Got a couple tattoos from Kyle earlier, he went extra deep on the tats, his line work isn't the best, he didn't shave the hairs off of my body before he tattooed me, he also didn't clean one of the areas where i got tattooed. he just didn't seem like a very clean tattoo artist and he didn't seem to really care about what he was doing. he also didn't put any type of bandages on my tattoos nor did he tell me about any type of aftercare whatsoever. i wouldn't recommend this shop to anyone. Not sure why the reviews on this place are so high. Oh and not to mention he definitely wasn't the most friendly guy so he made me feel pretty uncomfortable. Just an honest review. read more

i had a pretty good experience here . I wouldn't consider it a "walk-in" cause i did call in advance to make sure they had time but they got me in within an hour. My artist was very sweet and considerate of my requests although i do forget her name ): i did hear some gossiping while i was there about other clients that had come in which isn't great to hear but that's my only "complaint" if you even want to call it that. I would definitely go back again . read more

UPDATE: my nose is now been infected and hurting since i went to this place. don't go here. ever.

Great experience and great value when I had my Helix pierced by Lee at the Capital Boulevard location. The shop is clean and inviting, while the staff is very helpful and informative when you ask questions. The process was short and I waited no more than 10 minutes to be seen. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone!! read more

I had my tongue pierced at Warlocks. I would not recommend that tattoo place. They are over priced and both times I've been there they were extremely rude and unhelpful. Tonight I showed up at Rock N Roll at 10 pm. My tongue ring had fallen out and my tongue had closed in less than a hour. The piercer had to repierce the bottom half of my tongue. He was incredibly helpful. He didn't charge me anything to do this. He took the time to explain basic care, which is something the piercer at Warlocks did not do. In fact, he said he sent me an aftercare email... He did, but the entire message was blank. Regardless... I've been to Warlocks 2x, I would describe the atmosphere as clean, bright and very presentable. However, the employees are rude and very blatantly do not care. I've been to RNR once... It had a great atmosphere and the people there are incredibly helpful and kind. They don't act like you just asked them to donate a kidney when you ask them relevant questions. Basically I will never be going back to Warlocks and will be recommending RNR to everyone who asks. read more

I got a daith piercing, and the experience was awesome. I liked that they were honest about daith piercing (more than likely) not working for migraines right of the bat. I found it refreshingly honest, and I felt that they weren't all about my dollar. Jimmy was super friendly, talked through the procedure, and was very informative about aftercare. The shop is very clean and professional. I definitely will be going here for future work. read more
