Eric is truly an exceptional tattoo artist. His work is consistently outstanding, and I couldn't be happier with every single piece he's done for me -- and there have been many. His attention to detail, precision, and artistry are top-tier. The studio is always clean, professional, and welcoming, which makes the entire experience comfortable from start to finish. Eric takes his craft seriously, and it shows in the quality of his work and the care he gives his clients. If you're looking for an incredibly talented artist who delivers amazing results every time, Eric is the one. Highly, highly recommend. read more

Eric is the best. He is a great artist, incredibly accommodating, and very honest. I greatly appreciate all 3 of those qualities. The energy is always fantastic. The shop is amazingly friendly and very clean. He has at this point done 12 tattoos on me so far and all have exceeded my expectations. Eric, you and your shop are awesome. Thank you again. read more

Skinhibitions - My left hand tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

Alright, let me begin by saying I have anxiety and tend to overthink things especially permanent artwork. However, tattooing is therapeutic for me & I love all of mine. Two of my five (so far) have been done at Skinhibitions by BJ! My very very first tattoo, a snag grab outline of a cherub from Pinterest. To this day I still love the tattoo, as it means a lot to me! It was a forearm tat and I'd came by the shop the day of my 18th birthday after school, BJ was kind enough to take me as a walk-in (pre pandemic in May 2019). I air dropped the image and requested adding my great Mommom's birth and death year. She's passed that same year, on Valentine's Day. First impressions, from an inexperienced-never got a tattoo before-teen, i was nervous for sure. But BJ lent me a stress ball, went through the steps and let me make any changes needed with the stencil. I had none, and as an artist of my own merit (not tattooing,,,) I knew I had to trust him to do his job! He did NOT disappoint in the slightest, and again, was very thorough in laying out aftercare process and checking on if I needed a break. Turns out tattoos really are an addiction because I make it a game to get one in every state I visit. Now for my most recent experience, since 2019. I follow their Instagram page for the shop, Eric (the owner's), and BJ's page. I always love to keep up with the artists and the shops I have gone to, because with time they only get better! Fast forward to January 2022. I recovered from COVID, tested negative TWICE, and while I was sick and stuck in my room for two whole weeks I spent that time painting, sketching, playing Xbox.. sure.. like most people. But I'd sketched out multiple flash sheets of tattoos I plan to get over the next few years in my attempt at getting patch work sleeves done. So, I figured.. "if I feel like I'm dying now and I live I should get another tattoo". Cue me emailing BJ asking for his availability. He luckily had an opening the following Friday, I was off (and again, cleared to go back to socializing with the rest of humanity), so I Played Russian roulette with the designs I made and at random picked one to email to BJ, asked for an estimate so I could take out cash + tip ahead of time and GLADLY showed up. During this second tattoo by BJ, my 5th and most recent tattoo to date, he was yet again very accommodating and considering the state of the pandemic very very safety oriented. The shop was damn near empty, just him and myself. Another couple of people came early for their appointment following mine, and he'd kindly asked them to come back in an hour or so that we would limit the amount of people in the shop- considering everything. I loved my experience, and already got more in mind for BJ to tackle and put his spin on my sketches to be transferred into tattoos. If you're curious, it was a Victorian / 1800's inspired candle holder. Don't ask, I just thought it looked SICK. I love it Whatever bad reviews on here, know I put too much detail to be capping about my experience. So, just don't be an ass and respect the artists!!! This is permanent, they do things for a reason. Trust their process because everybody is different, what matters is the work turns out beautiful and HEALS NICELY TOO. So listen to your artists!!! They know more than you!! Thanks again if you read this far & BJ I hope to see y'all soon! read more

Skinhibitions is a top notch shop! Very clean, nice area, great artist etc! BUT! The real gem is located in the shop, first booth on the right- TMNT theme- say hey to "Uncle" but to y'all he's to Donnie!! Donnie has done all of my tattoos from wayyy back in the day when he was getting started!!! So to see just how he has perfected his craft and still striving to learn more and gain more skills is just amazing! But on to why I'm here..... last Saturday my brother wanted to get his first tattoo - a portrait of his mother- yes his first tattooo a portrait! So we took that drive Woodbridge to get Donnie to be bless him!! I was impressed with the level of professionalism that was shown and one would think it would slack off because we know one another, the level of treatment I received was that of any other person coming in for a tattoo. He fully explained everything to my brother, gave him tips of what he should do prior to the tattoo ( eat, get some sleep, bring headphones etc). Throughout the entire tattoo he made sure my brother was okay, offering break if needed, and also just good words of encouragement! The tattoo came out amazing and I was throughly impressed!! So if you want great quality work from a great artist (not a tattoo man) then head on over to Skinhibitions and ask for Donnie!!! Tell him his Niece sent you! ; ) read more

Ok. So this review is a little overdue. But I came here and got my tragus piercing done at the beginning of last year. The healing process was not for the faint-hearted but I knew it would be ok because I know how my body responds to piercings and heals in time. The guy who pierced my tragus was really nice, knowledgeable, professional, and funny. He did a great job making sure I was comfortable and giving me instructions on how to care for it during the healing process. It was a good experience and here I am a year later with a beautiful piercing, new ring and all. I think he gave me his card, I'll include his name if I can find it. Now, with that review I know you're wondering why I'm leaving 3 stars. Well, I had such a great experience my first time that I returned a second time about 3 or 4 months later to get my right nostril pierced to make for a double nostril piercing (I already have my left nostril pierced and got it done years ago somewhere else). So, when I went to get my right nostril pierced I was hoping for the same guy who did my tragus to do my nose. Well, it wasn't fated in that way. A different piercer did my nose and same routine, I was made to feel comfortable, this guy wasn't as impressionable but whatever. Anyway, I sat down and the guy marked my nose for where the piercing would be and I asked him to adjust it slightly because where he marked it first did not look symmetrical to me. At any rate, he marked the adjustment, let me check it, and it looked good. So then, he went in and pierced it....he quickly put the ring in and passed me the mirror. Before I could even say anything about how OBVIOUSLY crooked AND ASYMMETRICAL the piercing was and how it was clearly not on the spot where he'd previously marked, via my request, he said "your nose is crooked so I pierced it here and this jewelry is smaller than your other ring so when you put in a ring that's the same as the ring you have in your left nostril and it heals, it will look nice and symmetrical." Well, here I am 6 months later writing this review to tell you that not only has the piercing been healing quite poorly (in regards to scarring) but it is STILL as crooked as ever EVEN WITH a piece of jewelry identical to that on my left side. This guy also didn't give me any tips or information for aftercare, which I'm assuming is because I'd clearly had my nose pierced before but even still, it's good to be told as a refresher and so you know that the person putting the hole in your body actually knows what they are doing and talking about. Also, looking back, if the guy was unsure about where to pierce it, or felt uneasy about placement, he could have easily asked me to remove my little left side ring so that he could see exactly where that hole was and line it up. In conclusion, that first experience was 5 stars but the second was definitely 1 star so I'd average it out to 3, personally. Anyway, I'm really enjoying and loving my tragus and I plan to go somewhere else to get my right nostril re-pierced this weekend for my birthday (yay!). I hope this review helps somebody, I'm also including pictures of my tragus and the outcome of my right nostril piercing (that was supposed to lead to SYMMETRICAL double nostril piercings) with this review if you want to see some pictures of the work. read more

Another place I would give a 0 to if I could. I was recommended by someone I know to ask for Mike for piercing. See this was to be my first piercing. I called because I had done my research and had some questions. First, I felt he was rude and very curt on the phone. If you already have a customer in the chair, be cordial with your future customer on the phone and let them know that first and give them the option to call back. That was strike one. Strike 2 was when I ask if he wore a mask... This.... Man said why would he wear a mask?! Lordt you are in people's faces MAN! are u serious?! To me that's like saying you ain't gonna wear no gloves either! I was done! I was going here because of a recommendation and because of the location,but no,bi also gotta feel safe. So no. I did get my nose pierced I had to drive farther out, but it was very much worth the drive and paid 10 less for someone who is professional and wears a mask all day without a problem. I'm loving it read more

Clean. Professional. Will be back again. The artists here are talented and patient. This was my first tattoo and Donnie Bravo was patient and precise. My friends and I enjoyed the experience. (And there's food and a sexy store nearby. What more can a girl ask for?! Lol) read more

BJ did my first and second tattoos. I'm not going to lie, I was nervous at first. After showing him the tattoo I wanted and some adjustments, he drew it up to be better than I ever imagined. This was a tattoo that had a lot of importance to me and he blew me away with his artistry. BJ, thank you so much! read more

What a great experience! Thank you Eric! It was my twins 18th birthday. So we all, my twins and their older sister along with myself and my 80+year old mother all went to get our first tattoos! Eric was remarkable. He was so personable, friendly and def put my nerves at ease. We all wanted the small letter J behind our ears and he did a phenomenal job! read more

Its like owning an exquisite masterpiece. That's how I feel about the brilliant piece of art Eric Rhea tattooed from my toes around and up my calf. Nothing beats that little happy bubble when someone at the gym, in a store or on the street says "Hey. I love your tattoo" I've even had people ask if the vine and flowers portion are real, a sticker, etc... I was first introduced to Eric's talent through the many tattoos he'd done for my personal trainer at the gym. They were simply stunning and it was clear that he had a talent for realism which was something I was definitely interested in. I'd spent well over a decade thinking about the tattoo I wanted and my trainer said when I was ready to let him know and he'd put me in touch. Every once in awhile I don't do things small. I had one meeting with Eric to discuss my ideas for my tat. My first tat - and not some cute little spot of ink :-) I discussed the meaning of my tat and the elements I'd like to include with him. And then I did the hardest thing an artist can do - I left the artistic details, colors and composition up to someone else. OMG Eric Rhea is the most amazing talented artist. None of this tracing paper stencil crap. He pulled some reference images of various tigers and hummingbirds to look at, then when I came to my first session he just picked up a pen and freehand drew the entire tattoo design on my leg. After sketching things out on the skin, he just started in inking the outlines. What was even more impressive was his typography work. I've been setting type for 20+ years and I wish I had the sick raw talent for creating lettering that Eric has. The tattoo was completed over several sessions. Since this was my first tattoo, Eric was very good at explaining aftercare at my initial consultation so I had everything already on hand at home to keep it clean and make sure it healed right. That attention to clean, safe tattooing was evident all over the workspace - starting with the autoclave for sterilizing things sitting right next to the tattoo chair. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. And I already know the next thing I'm going to be back here having Eric tattoo. They really are like potato chips - you can't have just one :-) read more

My husband and I both got tattoos from Donnie and he is easily the best artist we've worked with. My husband is in the process of getting a dragon that wraps around his torso from his chest, around his arm, and over half his back. Donnie, after a discussion with my husband on what he wanted, drew it on him freehand. The detail and shading are amazing and he's already gotten tons of compliments on the unfinished product. I gave Donnie elements that I wanted added together for a shoulder piece and he worked them together really well. I have received many compliments as well. Lastly, because of our hectic schedule, he made special appointments for us to come in to sit on Sundays. We have advised everyone we've talked to to go see him and he will be the only one we go to from now on! read more

BJ is a cool dude. Very understanding and knowledgeable. I needed to remove a tat by pigment ink on my ring finger and block out another. He did the work for a reasonable price and time. I made an appointment but I'm sure they'll take a walk in if you call in advance to make sure they have time. They've been there for 6 years and the folks there are chill and they play great music. I'll be back for a back piece and a cheat piece in about a month. read more

If there was a way to leave no stars I would. Saw the reviews online and thought I would check them out. When I came into the shop it took at least ten minutes before I was greeted by a very rude man. When I asked for a price on a very basic rose no color I was told it would be 600 dollars. I have tattoos that are far more detail that didn't cost that much we'd less to say I left. If you feel like getting treated poorly and paying for the privilege go here otherwise there are far better places you can go. read more

I'm going to take you through this step by step. So I walk in on a Monday around 6 o'clock (granted, business is probably slow at that time). I'm here for a belly piercing, and it's a bit more nerve wracking just because they're all lounging around talking about shoes, cussing profusely, etc. It was just weird because rather than a professional staff they all seemed like friends chilling. I just expected more of a professional environment. They had me fill out paperwork, and the guy who had me do it was too lazy to get off the chair to give me the application, instead pointing it out on a wall. Then when I finished it, he was too lazy to get up and get it, and made me walk over to where he was (sitting down) to hand it to him. Then after a few moments of my paperwork and ID being reviewed a nice woman asks me if I'm ready and tells me to sit in the chair. The only reason I gave three stars really is because the piercing part went well and so far, It hasn't even pussed or bled (two days later). The man (maybe they should introduce themselves to make you feel more comfortable) marked my belly, told me to check it in the mirror to see if I liked where it was (that was cool) and then had me lay in the chair. He didn't tell me what kind of jewelry he was going to use. I had to ask, and he said "a standard silver belly bar"... I was looking more for what kind of metal it was, like is it steel? I still don't know. I guess he assumed I wasn't allergic to anything. He pierced it quickly, it hurt obviously but it was easily done it seemed. I checked it in the mirror, paid for it and was about to leave. The guy who wouldn't get off the couch said to make sure that my boyfriend drove in case I got heat flashes or something and they'd be liable (which I think was more a liability thing he cared about than safety). I received no aftercare instructions, and honestly that was pretty messed up. I shouldn't even have to ask for them. I just silently left and decided google was gonna be my friend for the night. So I took off one star for the unprofessional environment and another for no aftercare instructions. The piercing went well and turned out well for 50$, so I guess that's all that matters. read more

Mike is by far one of the most skilled artists I've ever witnessed. I had the pleasure of getting my nose and ears pierced by him.
