For my husbands 50th we went and got matching tattoos. My husband has had Mike do a previous tattoo a couple years back and it came out beautifully. I've never had a tattoo and have been terrified to get one. But I booked our apt w/Mike. Sent him the idea we wanted. Explained I was a chicken. He reassured me through DMs I'll survive. From the min we walked into the shop, it was clean and we felt very comfortable & welcomed. Mike went over the artwork till it was exactly what we wanted. I went 1st so I wouldn't back out. He talked me through everything he was doing and kept me calm. Very professional, but with a sense of humor. Was not as bad as I anticipated and throughout my session he kept making sure I was ok. In between mine & my husbands apt, the amount of cleaning & disinfecting was intense. Hubby went and was a breeze. Both of ours came out Fantastic! We are so happy with the way they turned out. AND, this chicken is already planning her next tattoo for Mike to do. read more

Best tattoo studio I've ever been to. Mike's been my artist for quite some time. I also let Jonny & Collin do tattoos on me... hey share the love. Mike does & has done the vast majority of my tattoos. He is my ink therapist. I like to refer to him as Dr. Mike. The studio is a very clean & inviting atmosphere. It just makes you feel like you're family. Sometimes Mike is my dr, sometimes he's my pops, Brandi, who is a phenomenal piercer & run the show is like my sister, & the boys are well like my kids. Even my daughter who Mike (thanks to the Pokémon ball machine) has turned my daughter into a tattoo addict... which is fine; I know much worse things she could be addicted to that isn't art. She too considers the crew family; Mike is Gramps, Brandi is Auntie, & the boys who she is smack dab in the of age wise are her brothers. I posted another review on here before actually getting the app that includes almost all of the tattoos they have done between the 2 of us. read more

I absolutely love the crew @ Wilmington Tattoo & Piercing! Mike has been my artist for quite some time & has done the vast majority of tattoos, however, I gotta give the others a chance to tattoo as well especially when they're an apprentice. I have severe social phobia & they make it me feel safe & comfortable. They are like my family. Mike has even turned my daughter into a tattoo addict, lol. Anyone looking for ink therapy or piercing therapy this is definitely the place for you. If you've never gotten a tattoo before I strongly encourage you to do your research on pain sensitivity to understand where the tattoo is going to be the most painful... sometimes they are... I mean hello people it's needles in your skin... multiple needles to create beautiful art. Give Wilmington Tattoo & Piercing a chance to show you what they're all about & you'll love them as much as I do! read more

Wilmington is absolutely blessed to have such an incredible shop like Wilmington Tattoo and Piercing, While i know Ive reviewed before my husband's most recent visit has prompted a second! Mike, the owner, is incredible and has been doing my tattoos since I turned 18. His patience and attention to detail are unmatched. He has ALWAYS taken the time to understand exactly what we wanted and made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire process. The end result has always been a piece of art that exceeded our expectations. Every artist and piercer he has brought on his team is nothing short of extraordinary with welcoming personalities to match. If you're looking for top-notch artistry and a welcoming environment, I highly recommend Wilmington Tattoo and Piercing!! read more

Absolutely amazing 10 out of 10 recommend. Prices were absolutely cheap as fuck. They always have good deals and flash tattoos. Quick response. Communication was top shelf. Always communicated to me immediately. No matter to hours if they were opened or not. The vibe was awesome. The vibe was great! Definitely go here not the Gay Penguin. They were terrible in all the ways Wilmington tattoo and piercings weren't. Go here I promise you're not going to regret it!! read more

I was in search for a local tattoo artist and picked this place based on their reviews. I worked with V today and he did 3 small tattoos for me based on my therapy and hard work so there was a lot of meaning behind them. The shop has a great vibe and set up, everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming and their price point is extremely fair. I was very happy with my results and even happier I found a new shop for future work. Thanks for a wonderful experience read more

Just had my special tattoo done a week ago and love it. Everything from making the appointment through completing the tatt went smooth. It took me years to find an artist and shop that was on par with the one I left in Winchester VA when I moved here. Already planning the next one! Clean, professional and creative, top notch facility. read more

Awesome place, and very understandable of my financial status. So they by far made it very helpful for me to get the tattoos and great service. THE WORKER MIKE was awesome. I'm 25 and also sober living currently so this place was very understandable and helpful to have great service and friendly prices. read more
