Reviews of The Collective Tattoo & Body Piercing

Serena Ortengren

Wow wow wow!! Got recommended this place by a friend. We came in as walkins this Sunday and received not only incredible tattoos but wonderful service. Everyone was so accommodating welcoming and kind. They had beverages and clean amenities and the space was so cozy and really well decorated. Tommy ray did my tattoo and did a spectacular job! He helped with placement and personalized it so that it was even better than I imagined. He helped make my experience so comfortable and I had a lovely conversation while getting my tattoo. I would recommend this place to anyone and I’ll definitely be going back.

I was fortunate enough to get a piece done here last week and I had an amazing experience. All of the staff is very helpful and genuinely kind. Walking in, you can just tell that the vibe is right and that you're in good hands. Everything is well decorated, clean, and just downright cool. I was looking to get a relatively large tattoo on my arm, so I set up a consultation appointment with Michael. We spent some time going over what I was looking for and scheduling the tattoo appointment. When I came in to get the tattoo done, we spent a while making sure the stencil was exactly in the right place and that the piece would be exactly what I wanted. I really appreciated the attention to detail and care from not only Michael, but other artists in the shop that were happy to stop by and check in. When tattooing, Michael was engaging and very personable making me feel as comfortable as possible. He ended up staying quite a bit later than we both expected and on the day before Thanksgiving! Even days later, checking in on the healing process. I could not recommend this shop more. From beginning to end, the best experience I've had getting a tattoo done so far. (Picture is of my tattoo right after is was done, it is fresh)

I just got my nosed pierced there. The staff was lovely and patient because I was very nervous. They helped me find the perfect stud and even anodized it so it would be the color I wanted (gold). The piercing itself was quick and almost painless. I've had zero issues and no pain and I'm really happy.

Vi Rodriguez

By far my favorite Tattoo/Piercing spot in Virginia Beach. The team is so professional and talented. The minute you walk in they are super welcoming. I love the esthetics of the studio. They know how to move walk-ins pretty fast too. Upon first impressions, the studio is very well decorated and laid out inside. They really thought of every single detail of the studio. Every artist has their own room. All the rooms have huge barn doors. The artist gets to decorate their own rooms. In the back is huge drawing room for the artist with access to several restrooms. In the front there is a public computer for people to search for designs. There is also ample amount of seating inside and outside. My husband and I did walk-ins for ring finger tattoos. They really get walk-ins moving quickly so you won't be waiting long. The minute I walked in there were 6 people ahead of me but they were able to give me an estimated time frame and put me in the system so that they could text me when they were ready for me. I was able to leave the studio and still keep my place in line. They estimated 2 hours so the minute I came back I got my text which was really on point. Chipi was an experienced artist new to the studio. He drafted up my vision and it really matched what I was envisioning. He was very professional, very cool to talk to and his work was on point. While I was waiting for my husband to get his tattoo, I watched them quickly get folks in and out. I was able to talk to the front desk and ask about piercing and such and they were so nice and informative all while having clients. I love this studio I don't think I'll go anywhere else but here.

Lexi Gardner

This was my first time at Collective Tattoo & Body Piercing. This place is absolutely amazing! My tattoos were done by Morgon, and she was absolutely amazing! I am so happy with her work and the whole experience. She was an absolute blast and her personality is top notch. I seriously recommend this place and will definitely return here for all my future tattoos. Thanks for the beauties, Morgon!

Erik Johnson

This is my latest of many tattoos done at The Collective and each experiences gets better and better. Geo did an amazing job today! The front desk staff is amazing, the artists are ELITE and the overall atmosphere is very welcoming wether it is your first or next tattoo. Can’t recommend The Collective any higher, after going once it will become your go to spot!

Sharon Strachan

Excellent shop, staff, artists, and prices! My two daughters and I went for piercings and I got a tattoo! Very pleased and will return for more on our next trip! Ryan and Lyndsey are awesome!!

Tyler Hartry

I came here for my first tattoo (Thank you Tim!) and not only did they do a fantastic job with the result but they also took the time to answer any questions I had for them. Anthony helped me greatly with getting in contact with an artist. Savannah, Tim, and a few others helped give me advice on tattoo aftercare and were very delighted to answer any of my questions with the healing process as well! I met Dave, the fantastic owner, too. Dave spoke so highly of his crew and seems so proud of his team and the art that they produce. Dave and everyone else who works here are not only friendly but very respectful, dedicated, super polite and helpful to anyone who walks into the building. It’s a safe place for everyone and it feels like a home when you open the door. Thank you guys for making me feel so welcomed in a new environment and I appreciate every single one of you❤️ This is the place to go to if you live in the Hampton roads area!

Alexis Dease

I went to The Collective after work yesterday in search of new navel jewelry and they did not disappoint! My current jewelry had been causing me to have an allergic reaction and through their website I found out that all their jewelry is titanium - just what I was looking for. As soon as I walked in I was greeted and helped right away. I didn’t catch her name but the lady who was helping me was super nice and helpful and listened to my problem with my current jewelry and even price checked the rings I was looking at. They set me up with my email and phone number so if I were to come back I was already in the system, which was something I greatly appreciated. The ring is beautiful and probably the best ring I’ve ever had, I can already notice the improvements. I will definitely consider them in the future for any tattoo/piercing needs.

Mynyun

Went in kinda late Saturday and scheduled an appt for Sunday afternoon for a piercing. The ladies behind the counter were very friendly and super helpful. Great atmosphere. Kristy was the one who performed the piercing. She answered all my questions and gave additional info. It may be TMI, but for anyone who is curious or on the fence about one, it was a gen!tal piercing. I would recommend her. Very professional.

Katelyn raper

Went in yesterday and saw Kristy Ross for piercings. She was amazing. My piercings are perfect and I’m so happy with the service but also her in general. She took her time and gave me as much time as needed to get calm and centered. She was understanding and compassionate as well as patient with me. Could not have asked for a better experience and a better person to have done it. I will be recommending her to everyone for their piercing needs. Hell of a good piercer and exactly the calming energy you’d want if you’re nervous in any way. Thank you again Kristy! Also the overall vibe here in general is immaculate. Everyone was incredibly nice. The place itself is beautiful. And you feel welcomed from the minute you walk in the door. Look forward to updating this review one day to include on their tattoos because I will definitely be back.

Victoria Varnedoe

I had an awesome time! The owner and staff were all really kind and fun. They worked with me to choose the best design and placement for what I was looking to do. And the final tattoo looked great and the lines were very clean. I highly recommend getting your next tattoo here.

Nicole Mayes

Came here with my mom and sister to commemorate our trip to Virginia Beach. The staff was so polite and efficient. The shop is absolutely gorgeous. Michael and Chippi did our tattoos and they were so great! Extremely professional and fun to talk to. Beautiful line work and shading. We are so happy with our new ink 🖤 …

Heather Longoria

This review is long overdue. I worked with Lindsey last spring for a large piece on my back that I look forward to adding to this spring. Overall my experience was awesome. The business is friendly and helpful.The building is artfully decorated and rooms offer great privacy. My artist was kind patience and highly skilled! I have already recommended this place to many friends and clients!

Earlese LaFrance

LOVED IT! Kristy Ross was recommended to me from SEVERAL LOCAL patrons who used her prior. Excellent results! Beautiful work! Thank you, Kristy!

Zara Taylor

Had the loveliest experience! Got a nostril & septum piercing. Very friendly, clean, quick, professional, great pricing, all around good time. I was a little nervous but it was very chill which helped a lot. I’ll be going back for sure! Highly recommend!

Wanda Hummingbird

This place is amazing. The decor is the best and the staff is genuine, informative and true to their craft. We have been to Kristy 4 times. 3 nose piercings and this latest beauty!!

E V (Gi-Gi)

So today we all did a thing! Making my young queen birthday more memorable for her SWEET 16 BIRTHDAY‼ We got our nose pierced! After the scavenger hunt on finding the place because they recently switched locations we had a great time. The staff was super professional, informative, and clean. Ryan our piercer was nothing short of being completely amazing‼ Today was a success her smile was everything I needed. 🙂

Ella Hinz

I had a great experience here, I’ve gotten all of my facial piercings here and they have all healed perfectly. I came here to get my first tattoo with Lindsey and she did an amazing job. It is healing perfectly as well.

Kelly Devine

Just had an amazing cover up done. The entire experience was awesome! Welcomed by front staff, clean unique vibe, and friendly all over. Discussed our wants, availability and artists best suited for our needs... Loved the whole experience!

Hugh Martin

This place and the people are really amazing. Seriously this will be the only place you need to come for tattoos in the USA. Dave is true pioneer in the industry. This gentleman is featured in all kind of ink magazines. Has a ton of awards and recognition of being the best of the best. Hands down no contest the best best best place in Virginia Beach. Life long customer here and check them out. I promise you will become a life long member as I am .

Alyssa

I got my high nostrils done by Kristy earlier today. This studio had such a great vibe and as soon as I walked in everyone was so friendly. Kristy has a calming energy and helped me feel so at ease. I’ll definitely be going back, this is my new place

Kaylee Lindhe

I got my nostril pierced twice on the same side and Ryan did a phenomenal job! This isn’t my first time getting it done but this was the most comfortable. High recommend and will be back!

Jonny-Angel

I'm finally getting around to writing a wonderful review! I work next door and would always be looking at the building from outside thinking about walking in and checking out the vibes and meet the wonderful people of collective. The atmosphere of the inside was so relaxing and tranquil. Lots of beautiful plant life, comfy chairs, and wicked cool eclectic items on the shelf. The girls at the front desk were so sweet and very helpful with my questions and needs. I originally did my piercings first. Ryan did my piercings and even helped stretch my gauges. He had wonderful conversations with me . He made me feel comfortable and welcomed. I absolutely love my piercings. Would recommend Ryan for your piercing Needs. I came in a couple days later for my Norse Compass on my hand and Tim was my artist. Right from the beginning his vibes and personality was so amazing. Awesome conversations about gaming and other nerdy things lol. He took his time with my day and made a lot of great comments on how it was it looking awesome so far. After we were finished he took a pic of my tat which showed me that he appreciated it enough to have a personal pic of his work. I'm currently still wearing my saniderm, so I'll deffinitely post a pic. I look forward to coming back.

Nichole Hamilton

I bring my daughter here for body piercing and they always do a fantastic job,she’s never had any issues with any of them,they have a great selection of jewelry and just love the atmosphere.

Uilani Kahaleoumi

AMAZING! I had mike and he was so good! The ladies that work in the front are so sweet and so helpful and the atmosphere makes it feel like you’re not even waiting long. So organized, so clean, absolutely amazing!

Daisy Vargas

I had my 1st tattoo done at the age of 50! I was so nervous and almost walked outta the room. My tattoo artist was amazing made me feel very comfortable. This place is hella awesome! I give them 5 plus stars. Thank you!

Christina Harris

A friend of mine had a beautiful tattoo that still looked great several years after it was done. I asked her where she got it done and she told me that Scott did it at trilogy, so I headed there for my next tattoo. I was very pleased by the experience. The front desk staff was very kind and helpful. I like that they have a system to text you when it's your turn so you don't have to sit around all day waiting. We headed to Dave & Busters and came back after an hour. Scott prepped and inked me very quickly. It was definitely the fastest I've ever been tatted and it looks great. The line work and shading were amazing. I brought a friend with me and we both got a discount. I do wish he would have given after care instructions. He probably didn't only because I already have several tats but it's been a few years since my last one so I would have liked a refresher. Overall, I had a great experience and will probably go back again.

Alexis Wheeler

We came in as walk ins and was put on a wait list. It was a quick wait time. We got Linsey and she did an amazing job. Very clean and excellent service. Highly recommend.

Quarantine does not deserve educational snacks

Is a piercers for very nice and welcoming and the piercer that did my piercing was very gentle and nice. I got my snake bites and my nostril done at this place and I think they've done a really good job.

Rose Gray

The Collective Tattoo & Body Piercing is welcoming, and insanely clean. A big group of skillful artists who truly care about their craft and their clients! This place really feels like a second home. Plus, the front staff are awesome! They treat you like family and are honest with you upfront. I have been to a lot of shops but nothing as amazing as this one. Each artist has tattooed me and I've never gotten so many compliments in my life!! 100000000/10 :)

RJ

I called about a walk in service today, and they said I could be put in a wait list. This was normal and I said yes but I would need to come in after 6:30. Which they said was fine! I get there around 6:30. By 7:30 I was walking out with a new tattoo. I spent less than what I thought I would, and my artist was absolutely amazing and was super interested in me as a person. The shop is very well maintained, clean, super cool bathroom too! I think this will be my new tattoo shop. Highly impressed.

Mickella Rast

I absolutely love the Collective Tattoo! I had to wait nearly a year for an appointment because they were so booked up, and it was 100% worth the wait! The space is always clean and the staff are very friendly and professional. My artist, Bennett Edwards, was amazing from start to finish. I didn't have a definite idea of what I wanted and had never gotten a tattoo that required multiple sessions, so he walked me through the process step by step. The individual artist spaces are comfortable and the artists take care to make sure customers have everything they need, including water and snacks. During each session, my artist regularly checked in with me to see if I needed a break or if I was uncomfortable at any time. The sessions were spaced out roughly one month each to make sure the tattoo was completely healed before adding more. The shop make sure to email me reminders about upcoming sessions and provided me with extensive aftercare instructions after each session completed. The pricing is reasonable considering the amount of time, effort, and ink that goes into the tattoos. I'll absolutely be going back for more tattoos in the future.

Katie Bettinger

I did a walk in appointment yesterday for a tattoo, from the first face I saw, to the last face I saw everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming! My tattoo artist Mike was incredible! I had a vision of what I wanted and he made it happen! He paid close attention to every detail and the shading was on point. LOVE the way it turned out. The place looked and smelled clean, the artist made sure to open every package in front of me, which anyone that has gotten a tattoo can appreciate. I would definitely go back to Mike in the future and would 100% recommend him to anyone!

Stef Newman

I have nothing but positive things to say about The Collective!! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the quality of service I received exceeds expectations! I got both a tattoo and a piercing done here and was 100% satisfied with both. The artists make sure that you are comfortable with your piece and take time to talk through designs, jewelry, etc. to make sure everything is what you expect. I will definitely be coming back in the future and would recommend this studio to others as well.

Christopher Kennedy

Everything about this shop is rad! I originally had a consultation for an idea with Liv… after a great conversation we decided it wouldn’t quite work. It was incredibly professional and I trusted her opinion. So the first shout out is for her! She referred me to Michael and the shop was awesome on letting me use my deposit towards my tattoo with him as a walk in. Researched his work and was pumped to get it with him. After getting on the waitlist, it was getting very close to closing time and was very surprised they called me in at the very end of the day. I was going to get two small pieces with just Michael (one on each wrist). As I was talking with some of the artists, Aaron had the idea of tattooing one of the pieces at the same time Michael did the other. For a split second it made me nervous because I’d never seen Aaron’s work. All that went away when he came back with the drawing! It was both of theirs first time tattooing one person at the same time. They were stoked about it and it made me stoked to be apart of it with them. If you want excellent work from people that love what they do, THIS is the shop! Heart by Aaron Rose by Michael

Cailin

I have gotten two tattoos by Clay and my conch pierced at this location. The shop is beautiful and spotless every time I go in. Everyone is welcoming. If you don’t have an artist in mind, they’re great about suggesting who would be best in regards to what you want. I always recommend The Collective for tattoos and piercings when anyone asks for suggestions. I plan to go back for more soon.

Lynn S. Perez

Absolutely fantastic. Staff are super friendly and eager to help. The artists are knowledgeable and passionate about their work and work with you to make your vision come to life in such an amazing way. I'm in love with my tattoo and will be back very soon.

Josh Rose

Helpful and friendly staff. They helped us make an appointment and went over all of the jewelry options for our new piercing. I loved their decorations. Clean and comfortable experience!

Mike Barlotta

Went with my daughter to get tattooed together. She did her research and found an artist she loved so we drove to VAB. We came in as walk-ins as she had already had a consult and the day setup for hers. Everyone was friendly and the shop had a great vibe. The artist Scott did a great job taking my concept sketch and drawing it for the tattoo. He was really fast and it came out amazing. Whether it's your first tattoo or adding to the existing collection I highly recommend The Collective

Leeann Roberts

Everyone here is awesome! Its very clean and professional with an amazing vibe. The front desk staff is very helpful and have great communication. They offer a selection of high quality jewelry and get new styles in often. The artists I have had the pleasure of being tattooed by are fabulous! I get so many compliments on my tattoos and piercings. I cannot recommend The Collective enough!

Jordan Perry

This shop is more than just a hub for tattoos and piercings.. The Collective is an entire experience. The moment you walk through the doors, you are transported. Every detail of the shop is meticulously done. From the moss wall, to the tin ceiling, the handcrafted bar top, the furniture, and the eclectic decor.. this place is not just “another clean shop”. You can tell that this shop is a place of great pride, not just for the owner but for every employee. We met the owner, who chatted with my husband and I for a bit, and what an amazing, cool dude he is! Nikki did my piercing and she was super chill… she was quick and calm. I was totally fine, but I can see how she would put someone a little anxious at ease. I cannot recommend The Collective enough!!! They deserve to stick around and flourish!!

Candice Gander

My daughter, aunt and i all went to get tattoos of arrows. They turned out great!! I got even luckier when an opening came about so i could get my flowers tattooed the next day!!! I absolutely love ❤️ it!!! Anthony and Olivia thank you!!

Ariel Fane

My artist here is Clay Thames and he is the absolute best. He is a very talented artist and he makes every effort to ensure the tattoo process is as comfortable as possible for me. That being said, everyone here is fabulous. From the owners, to the artists, to the ladies at the front desk, everyone here takes both artistry and hospitality very seriously. Professional, clean shop with a laid back, fun atmosphere. Featured is a pic of the back piece Clay designed for me. Would highly recommend for your tattoo needs in Hampton Roads!

Feeling Borte

I made an appointment with Micheal after seeing the work he did on a friend, after looking at his art on Instagram I knew he was the perfect artist to trust with what I wanted. Hannah inspired tattoo with precise line and details. He blew it out the park and I still have 1 more session to go. Definitely recommend.

Chelsea Irving

For years I’ve been holding out on getting a tattoo I’ve always wanted. I found it hard to trust someone enough to carry out my vision and turn that into a reality. Until today, I took a chance on Michael and he took my vision and turned it into perfection. Thank you for being amazing and professional. I’ll be back soon and I’m bringing friends!

Amy Adams

I have had several walk-in tattoos done here. Staff is always friendly and willing to answer questions. Michael has done 3 of my tattoos and always makes the experience enjoyable. I always receive compliments on the tattoos he has done for me. This is the only shop I go to and trust for tattoos and piercings.

Moni Gonzalez

I love Tim he’s super cool and chill and makes your feel comfortable which is very important for woman. He added my new addition, would definitely go to him again. Also shout out to the girls in the front desk they’re very polite and knowledgeable . They really give you big sister vibes. ❤️❤️

Michelle Keith

Trinity Tattoo is awesome! They offer soda, water, or coffee upon arrival. The lobby/studio rooms are clean & bright. Very nice atmosphere. Everyone is kind & helpful. I would definitely recommend a visit if you're considering a tattoo.

Kortney Green

Olivia is an amazing artist and I recommend her 2000%. She worked with me to create a beautiful tattoo, even when references were hard to find. She was incredibly kind and professional throughout the whole design process. I also had 2 consultations with her and she made sure to get everything I wanted and then some. She even fixed another tattoo of mine during my session. Totally unexpected but very appreciated! I look forward to coming back and getting another tattoo from her! :) The shop is very laid back and comfortable as well. The front desk staff always made me feel welcome every time I came in. I loved my whole experience here!

Tehya Mockapetris

Traveled from MD to get a piece done by visiting artist, Dominick Taylor, and was so impressed with this tattoo shop! The staff was AMAZING and so friendly. There were so many talented artists there. The place was super clean and cozy. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

katie schussler

Joe did a fantastic job on my first tattoo, and Kristy has done a few of my piercings and they always turn out amazing. This place has some of the friendliest people.

Deanna Langley

I’ve gone to the collective for two other tattoos previously and had nothing but a great experience. All of the staff is super friendly and helpful. Today was my first time seeing Michael for some additional work to a previous tattoo. He made the whole experience really easy. Definitely a great place to get quality tattoos and actually enjoy your time there.

Savannah Baldwin

The absolute best staff! The front staff is so helpful, as well as skillful piercers and tattoo artists. The studio is impressive between the cleanliness and the aesthetic. The place is very welcoming inside and everyone is very friendly. I've been tattooed by almost all of the artists and I constantly get stopped and complimented. 100/10! <3

Rachel Liebel

Super awesome shop. Not only clean but just an overall great vibe! Front desk people were all super helpful and made sure to check in with you even if you were just the one waiting. My husband and I both got tattooed by Scott and he was great. Tattoos came out perfect. We even met and talked with the owners. Great people an a really great shop. Highly recommend stopping in!!

Virginia Pagan

First, it's so neat and creatively decorated! All the vintage photos coupled with modern set-ups look amazing. Second, the front end staff are so pleasant and gave me a variety of jewelry to choose from, as well as made me feel at ease with being a first-time visitor in their shop. Last but definitely not least, Ryan was my piercing artist today and so awesome to work with! He was very mellow and gave me a sense of comfort along with his professionalism. Had a good laugh in between getting my tongue and left nostril pierced, and both were virtually painless! This shop will be my go-to place from now on; if you haven't paid them a visit, I suggest you stop by. Well worth it!😁😁♥️

Ryan Lindner

The single most beautiful shop I have ever entered. I would do a paid tour just to walk around the place and really check it out. The ceilings, the lighting, the barn doors. Absolutely amazing. The quality of work I experienced was also fantastic as was my artist, Chad. Understands exactly what's needed and walks you through the entire process. Great experience and highly recommended.

A Marlo Miller

The absolute BEST tattoo experience ive ever had. i got a piece of flash out of the "get what u get" machine and i loved it as soon as i saw it. everyone i interacted with was kind and professional, and i vibed with all of them instantly. Linsey did my tattoo, and she has a customer for life (or until i run out of skin). ill be coming back for all my piercing and tattoo needs!! 1000/10, this is the gold standard for tattoo shops 💚💚💚💚💚

Bria Boyd

I visited the collective tattoo today and was lucky enough to be able to be tattooed by Joe ! The whole experience was fantastic start to finish. The shop is really nicely decorated throughout and all the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I can’t wait to go back and get work done here again !

Michael Barron

Came in for a quick walk in tattoo. Was able to go home and wait which was really nice and when I got there the artist was really cool and held conversation which is nice anywhere you go. the work was also very great and looks great he didn't rush thank you Geo davinci! will be setting up appointments here fore sure!

Madeline Jones

This place is so awesome! Very good energy and very skilled artists! You’ll be very happy with your new tattoo and experience! (Very clean, multiple bathrooms, very open booths, awesome waiting area, and takes cash and card payments)

Jacob Kelsey

Amazing, up front, professional. Best tattoo experience I've ever had. If you want any piece done in American traditional style, Scott is 10000% the man to go to!

Zoe Eprile

Great experience, first time being pierced here. Really neat atmosphere, front desk ninjas are super friendly, offered me a drink while I was waiting. Ryan did my nose piercing, he was kind, professional, helped me decide the best placement to go with my septum and my glasses, and was very knowledgeable and informative when I asked questions, overall did an awesome job. I will be coming back for more piercings

Savannah Baldwin

The Collective Tattoo & Body Piercing is eclectic, welcoming, and super clean. A true group of skillful artists who truly care about their craft and their clients! My two favorite piercers, Ryan and Kristy, are the best! This place is like home! Plus, the front staff are awesome! They treat you like family and honest. The studio is beyond clean, it was impressive. I have been to a lot of shops but nothing as amazing as this one. I have been tattooed by nearly every artist there, and all of my tattoos are complimented multiple times a day everywhere!! <3

Stephanie Jeffers

I had friends from out of state visiting and they wanted to go get tattoos. We all walked out with four very well done tattoos not a long wait and everyone was very professional. We had a great time, definitely will be going back

Suzannah P

i went randomly on the 21st just to get a tattoo bc you know why not and it turned out so good!! i ended up going the next day (22nd) to get a piece done that i’ve been looking to get done for awhile and IM IN LOVE WITH IT!!! the artist Michael did so amazingly well on both pieces he did for me! super friendly and laid back and definitely super talented with his work!!

Destinie Ore

I have had piercings and jewelry help by both piercers! I have also had tattoos by multiple artist at this studio, I have never been disappointed with the quality, service, treatment or finished art! And it is just that...wearable art! There’s always a smile or friendly face at the front desk! All the artist are excited to share their talent! I have brought my family and friends in for this amazing treatment also! The studio is always clean and safe! Beautifully decorated and always striving to be the best of the best! I can not begin to express my love of all the ninja staff, artist, management ! Thanks Dave and Melissa for making the “The Collective “ all that it is..

Rebecca T

I don’t think I will ever truly be able to put into words how amazing the experience I had here was. I got there about 15 minutes early and my artist, Olivia, came out early and showed me the multiple drawings she sketched for my tattoo. She got my into the back and made me feel comfortable and eased any nerves I had. She was incredibly fun to talk to and multiple other artists, including the owner, came into the room and made me feel comfortable and welcome. We finished up on the later side and it had gotten dark outside. Michael, another artist in the building at the time, took time out of his day to walk me to my car to ensure my safety, which, as a younger woman, I appreciate greatly. Every experience I have had at this studio has been wonderful, pleasant, prompt, clean, and friendly and I will ABSOLUTELY continue to go here and recommend this studio to anyone who is looking for great work!

This shop is BEAUTIFUL I mean beautiful. I was greeted by amazing front desk staff pleasant and vibrant. I got my nose pierced by Kristy she was Great informative and quick. There was a beautiful jewelry collection to choose from also. Very happy with my choice !! -Alexis

Emma Pittenger

I've been to The Collective a handful of times (to get my ear pierced a few years back, and 2 tattoos by Michael now) and this has quickly become my favorite tattoo shop in the area. All staff from the front desk, to the piercer I had, to the owner and all of the tattoo artists that I've met while there, are super helpful, professional, friendly and kind. My experience with staff alone has me recommending this place to all of my friends who want to get tattooed. Not to mention the beautiful decor and comfortable seating in the waiting area. They also have a gorgeous selection of body jewelry. Michael is doing some killer work and he is a blast/so easy to work with, so you'd better get on his books fast! The Collective is a local gem; I can't wait to come back for the next one.

Tracy Rogers Doubek

Several months ago I brought my daughter here for her tongue piercing and they were very friendly and professional. My sister-in-law and I wanted to get matching coffee bean plant tattoos so I decided to use them again based on my previous experience. I’m so glad I did! The shop is beautiful and clean, staff goes above and beyond to make sure you have a pleasant experience, prices are very reasonable and competitive, and the artists are phenomenal! My sister-in-law and I both had Chipi as our artist. He is absolutely amazing!! His demeanor and personality is the best, his touch is light and he makes sure to ask you how you’re doing during the process. His artistic ability/talent is out of this world and we couldn’t be happier with our tattoos! I will forever recommend him and I will use him for all of my future tattoos! During my time in the shop, I saw other artists work as well and it was all amazing! You will not regret going there for a tattoo or piercing! That I can promise you!

I came into this shop to get a tattoo fixed by Geo and he did such an amazing job. The employees seem to have alot of knowlege and could answer any questions I had. Also the store is very clean and I'm in love with the decor. I really enjoyed the chat I had with the owner "Dave". He was very friendly and pretty funny. Thanks again Geo !!

Kiara Evans

Kristy was so greattttt….she accommodated the 4 of us we all got the same thing it was quick and painless lol….the place is a vibe and it smelled so great inside!!!!!!

Billie Rumer

Love this place! The staff is very kind and the artists are extremely talented! I love that they supported the my body my choice flash event as well, I will definitely be continuing my business here!!

Sierra Torrance

The atmosphere was super amazing. I was greeted immediately when I walked in the door for my nostril piercing and felt super welcome immediately. The atheistic of the building was super cool and it felt very, very clean and professional. My appointment did run a little bit late, but it was totally worth the extra bit of wait time. Kristy was informative, professional, and highly personable. I will definitely be recommending Collective to my friends that want tattoos or piercings.

Claire Donohue

I’ve been to the Collective 3 times in the past 6 months, and every time I’ve been done a walk in and requested Michael. He’s always very easygoing and friendly and has created beautiful tattoos for me! The process is easy and as painless as it could be, and I’ll always recommend him and keep going to him for tattoos in the future.

Dani Sanchez

The Collective is my go-to tattoo shop in Virginia Beach. Joey did a beautiful mandala piece on my arm a couple years ago, I had my daith pierced by one of their wonderful professional piercer’s and I’m looking forward to Olivia finishing my sleeve this September. Don’t let the waiting list scare you. These artists are worth the wait!

Liz Nixon

I called ahead of time to see if they were accepting walk-ins and they were. They explained the process to me and were really helpful! The staff was professional and super friendly! I got my tattoo done by Michael, and I have to say he’s a pretty rad dude! I showed him a picture of what I wanted and he created a beautiful piece for me! He also worked with me to get exactly what I wanted and how/where I wanted it! Super friendly and made the experience a good one! Definitely a talented artist! 100% recommend this shop!

Mikaela Bickleman

My entire experience with this establishment from start to finish has been phenomenal. The staff is very welcoming and does great with explaining the ropes of the whole tattoo process. The shop itself is absolutely beautiful! You can tell a lot of hard work has gone into it. The shop owner was so incredibly sweet and was sure to introduce himself to me and complement the tattoo I was getting. My artist, Joe, sketched out my complicated request and was able to create the perfect tattoo. He does extremely solid work and I am so thankful I was able to find an artist who is as talented as he is! I would 100% recommend this tattoo/piercing shop to all my fellow sailors and anyone who asks for somewhere they can trust! Thank you so much for the best tattoo experience I’ve ever had.

Jeff Mesa

Right place, right time but the overall experience was outstanding! I did a walk-in for a piece that I was interested in getting. I came in about two weeks ago. The ladies at the front were occupied with customers, which a gentlemen had noticed my friend and I waiting in line and so he inquired what we were there for. Extremely personable. He explained how the shop puts the idea in a sort of forum to see what artist would best be suited for the job, which I thought was awesome. I was fortunate enough to get Linsey. We had waited for about an hour and thirty minutes (the exact amount of time the gentlemen had told us to wait). Linsey came out and asked what the tattoo was from just to ensure she was on the same page (Jujutsu Kaisen). She gave her opinions on the different sizes and the type of style of coloring she thought would look better. I valued her opinion because it turned out pretty amazing. She was amazing, very bubbly personality and professional. Although she did not know the subject matter of the show (or anime in general), her artistry and passion for it showed! Follow her @willinsey ! Thanks again!

Elizabeth Eakins

Got a “get what you get tattoo” today and I’m very happy on what Michael tattooed on me!! Would highly recommend them and will come back!

its ny

i went to the collective today and was in and out in not even 10 minutes. i picked my jewelry for my nose ring and got signed in and the next thing you know, i had a nose piercing! 💗😌 ryan pierced my nose and he told me to close my eyes and before i knew it, he was done! he was so sweet and such a cool dude 😃👏🏽 the pricing was good and im so happy with my piercing and so happy with this place! definitely will be coming back! 💗💗💗💗

Daniel Millington

Before I started going to The Collective I went to another artist who was good but not communicative. I can say for every artist I have spoken to or come into contact with, they’re always on their A game and know exactly what the hell is going on and will definitely let you know every form of information you need. Michael in particular takes care of me but I would recommend their entire crew because everyone brings something special to the table. The front desk crew is amazing and polite all the time and will always greet you with a smile. I can say for as long as I am going to be getting tattoos I would recommend taking a stop at The Collective, they’re kind, genuine, and professional.

Jordan Halinski

I woke up this morning & decided to get a tattoo. I was recommended this place by a friend and there is no doubt in my mind I will never go to a different studio. The atmosphere is amazing, everyone working there seems so close & really made the place comforting and fun to be at. My artist was Joe and I could not be more happy with the tattoo. The tattoo itself meant a lot to me and Joe executed it perfectly. It’s a beautiful piece that I could not be more proud to display.

Victoria Ransone

This place is absolutely amazing! I had Clay as my artist and he is the best. This was my first tattoo and while I really wanted it I was still a little apprehensive about getting a tattoo. During my consultation Clay went over every detail and made me feel confident and excited about getting my tattoo. When I went back to get my tattoo Clay made sure everything was correct and the results are amazing! The tattoo is better than I could imagine. All the artists in the shop are very friendly. I would highly recommended this shop and Clay to anyone looking to get an amazing tattoo and have an amazing experience.

Daniel Suh

This place is the first place that I feel so welcomed. The front desk receptionists treat me well with respect. All the tattoo artists are very skillful. I have done couple tattoos from Mike, and I love his bedside manner. How? He asked if I want anything to drink and provide pillow for my comfort. In addition, he asks my opinions to ensure my tattoos are perfect, and communication is very important to me. Aside from that, he is very skillful, and I love his line works so much. I got so many compliments for my tattoos! I am coming back to this place for my tattoos, and I will not go anywhere but this place!

tiffany sepulveda

I don’t usually leave reviews but I LOVED THIS PLACE! I got both my septum and nostril done but Kristy and she was lovely. I was a bit nervous since I’ve never had any face piercings but she mad me feel super comfortable and relaxed the whole time. The vibe in the shop was so awesome, even the front deck people were extremely helpful. From now on Kristy will be my piercer! Absolutely loved her!!

Kate Woods

So a friend and I went in to get some matching tattoos that we have been talking about for a while. Aaron was my artist, and I really couldn't be happier with the results of my tattoo. He was very attentive and patient with the line work and fine details, and I compared the tattoo to the picture I asked him for; he definitely exceeded my expectations. I'm much happier with what I got than what I was expecting! This is a very welcoming environment, and the people are SO friendly. This will probably be a regular tattoo spot for me from now on. I have another appointment soon, and I know I won't be disappointed.

Carla Young (Clairefox)

My friend and I went there for piercings. Amazing staff! Incredibly professional, kind, knowledgeable, and steady-handed. The rooms were really cool, loved all the decorations and digital galleries of work they've done. Smaller selection of jewelry available than I was expecting, but it was all incredibly high-quality. Definitely returning for future piercing and hopefully some tattoos.

Rick Faulkner

Collective Tattoo is absolutely amazing! Dave and the entire staff are exceptional people. They focus on making your experience “one of a kind”. Anthony at the front desk helped me out big time before I even arrived. And I’ll say this - Chipi is an incredible artist and I can’t wait to get back and have him work his mad skills on my arm. Chipi took a concept and made it reality and I love it! I can’t recommend highly enough Collective Tattoo - thanks gang for all you do!

Grace Preston

From the moment we walked in the door, everyone at The Collective was warm and welcoming. The atmosphere was always positive and everyone was so kind. I got my tattoo done by Michael and he does beautiful line work! I never expected my tattoo to look this beautiful but I love it! Dave the owner also stopped by while Michael was tattooing me and was a pleasure to talk to. He also gave his opinion on how to make the tattoo even better (if at all possible). Everything was spotless and so clean. Definitely one of the best shops I’ve ever been in with some of the raddest people. I’ll be recommending The Collective to everyone I know!

Dana Childress

Linsey did my minimalist flower as a walk-in and I completely love it! She was friendly and kind, adapting her set up when I said I couldn't lie down. In about 20 min I had a flower that was better than the reference I provided. The studio is clean and comfortable and the front desk staff were super friendly. Great experience, especially since I was a newbie. Highly recommend!

Dre Abinader

I’ve had the best experience getting tattooed here super friendly and welcoming I would highly recommend you stop by and get tattooed here

John Long

What a great experience for a walk-in session! The front desk staff were awesome and the artist was great! I can’t wait to stop in for another session.

Sara Dreyer

I cannot say enough about this shop! From the moment you walk in the front staff is amazing and friendly and super welcoming. The place is clean and neat. You don’t get that judgment when you walk in, it’s welcoming and comfortable. Clay my artist is hands down they best! He’s about education and the best for you and your skin. He’s detailed and extremely In touch with you and what YOU want, while leading you to make the best decision for long lasting art. Again this place makes me happy and I always look forward to going back!

Alicia Harlow

I love The Collective! The staff is super knowledgeable and friendly, and the shop is extremely focused on cleanliness. Clay has done several of my tattoos and I would recommend him to anyone; he’s an awesome & talented artist. I moved out of state and I hope to find a shop that even compares!

Taylor Bryant

The staff was great - very welcoming and professional! My cousin and I were able to walk-in together and both get tattoos. The staff was able to get us each set up with artists and have consults within the first 15mins and we each walked out with great new pieces! I can’t recommend more!

Tiffany Salvas

I was on vacation at the time and wanted my first tattoo. I chose The Collective for the great rates but was treated exceptionally well. The entire staff was fun and encouraging,and the tattoo artist, Scott was professional and talented. The shop was very clean and intriguing. I highly recommend this place for any tattoo needs!! Thank you guys again!!

Adriane Nimmo

I have been going to Blue Horseshoe Tattoo for 6 years and I have always liked them until recently. I had a bad experience so I came to Trinity. THEY ARE THE BEST! From start to finish I had superior customer service. I felt totally comfortable. The desk Ninjas had it going on. They have a beautiful working space and everyone there is extremely professional and friendly. It is very clean! I will definitely be going back here. Jamie did my tattoo and he was awesome! He was very nice, did everything that I wanted with my tattoo, was very informative, and just all around a nice guy. He did a beautiful job with my tattoo and even touched up some mistakes he saw from the person who had started it before. 5 Stars! Loved them!!!

WLN Swim

Traveling from New Jersey and decided to stop in to get matching tattoos with my best friend. The shop owner and workers are the friendliest, most polite artists I have ever came across! I am truly grateful for the experience I had with my tattoo artist, James! He was so welcoming and very talented. They offered us drinks as we waited, and asked us if we were doing alright during our tattoo session. They are all so sweet and pleasant, and I will be coming back again for more!!

Danielle Prieur

a minute ago Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value Went to Kristy Ross to get my nose pierced and she was wonderful! Very knowledgeable, she explained everything in detail, answered all my questions, helped me pick the best jewelry for my nose, eased me right through the whole process, and provided aftercare product and advice. I did a lot of research prior to my appointment and Kristy did everything right! I was in and out in minutes, but wasn't rushed at all. All of the staff at The Collective was extremely sweet, accommodating, personable, and felt like family from the moment I walked in the door. 💗 The shop is the cleanest studio I've ever been to and the decor/ambiance is great! I will definitely be returning for a tattoo!

Melinda Truslow

I cannot recommend this shop enough!! Recently went in for a small line-work tattoo of a sketch I did years ago and was more than satisfied with the work that Jordan Jones did! Not only was he super kind, chill, and professional, but everyone in the shop, from the receptionists to the owner, were some of the nicest people I’ve met in a while. The shop is extremely clean, has a dope setup, and has a good environment that allows you to feel comfortable. 10/10, literally messaging him right now to set up appointment #2

Miranda Dufresne

The staff was super friendly, professional, and helped me feel comfortable. I got my piercings a couple months ago, it was quick and nearly painless and they have healed up wonderfully. I would definitely recommend The Collective to anyone who wants the job done right.

Kana BN

Been working on a piece with Olivia and it is absolutely beautiful. She’s a great artist and great conversations!! She’s got a long wait list so get on it ASAP. Too many people want instant gratification; guess what?! they have good artist that can knock those out too. Nonetheless, Olivia’s art and tattoos are worth the price and wait.

Marina Scherrer

I'm no Karen, I've never written a review before, but I am absolutely in love with the artwork that I had done at The Collective. I've gotten pierced as well as tattooed there, and I can assure you its worth your time and money. Its one of the cleanest places I've been to and the staff there are so friendly. They really make you feel a part of their family. I got my first tattoo there done by their apprentice artist MICHAEL LUKESON. He did such a great job I referred my boyfriend to him the same day (his also came out spectacular). I had an appointment at a different shop but left because the environment was so intimidating. Michael took both me and my boyfriend as walk-ins on a weekend, and even stayed overtime to complete my boyfriends piece. As a young woman service comes first and The Collective certainly delivered! I'll certainly be referring friends and family to Michael and Ryan! I honestly cant thank them enough, they'll be seeing me again

Mario

Just got a tattoo on the side of my forearm from Joe and he did a great job. It was my first time at this tattoo shop and it wont be my last. The people there are really friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend this shop to everyone. The shop is really clean and organized. I personally like Joe because he did a great job on mine. And he told me a price and I agreed to it but after he was done he said since it didnt take as long as he thought he went down on the price. That's a honest man in my book and I respect that. And the guy who did my wife's tattoo did a good job too. Thank You Joe for a great tattoo. I will be back to get my son his first tattoo.

Roshawna B

My best friend and I traveled to Virginia from Hersey and decided to get matching tattoos. Coming here was the BEST decision we could’ve made. Everyone here is friendly, polite, funny and very helpful with the process of picking the best tattoo idea. We were indecisive and they made the whole process amazing. The prices are very good (compared to what we would’ve had to pay in NJ). Atmosphere is diverse and super clean! We will definitely be back

Patty Garris

Got my nipples pierced. They guy who did my piercing was amazing. I believe his name was Ryan. I barely felt anything. I suggest if anyone wants a piercing, this is the place to go. $50 for both is great. Most places want more for just 1. Awesome staff as well.

Kelsi Goodrich

This shop, after reading through reviews, was top of my list for getting my nose piercing redone. I am cynical and want to judge on my own places but let me tell you, this place is Fantastic! Professional, friendly, spotless and a beautiful little shop. I HIGHLY recommend! Kristy Ross did amazing on my re piercing of my nose and I can say I’ve never been more satisfied. If you want a piercing or even a tattoo, I recommend this shop.

Isaiah Jenkins

First off...I literally brought a friend out of state just to get him professionally pierced here. This place is freaking awesome! Everything is properly sanitized around the clock and clean. The vibes when you walk in are authentic and wholesome. I've been worked on by both Kristy and Ryan for my eye brow piercings and septum and they did it perfectly. Shout out to the owners Dave and Marissa, they take pride in their business and professionalism and will crack a few jokes. Straight up family vibes and that's what will keep me coming back. No tattoos currently but If I ever decide to get one, it will be here!

Charlye Levine

Kristy is my emotional support piercer! She is so fun, nice, and wonderful- she’s pierced my helix, conch, traegus, and rook.

Dianna Brenn

I cannot sing enough praises about Collective tattoo. The staff is incredibly kind and friendly, the whole place is so clean, and it’s decorated cool as well! So much to look at while waiting! I worked with Olivia and she is the bomb. Amazing artist, clean beautiful work, she will also make you laugh till you have abs! I love her. The whole place is just fun to be at. I’ll be back!!! (Go see Olivia, she is legit the best)

Trinity James

I love the overall vibe of the place and everyone who works there is super welcoming. I've gotten 2 tattoos from here and each time I am so happy with how it turns out. Whoever controls the music, you're doing amazing, quality bops. Can't wait to come back and get another tattoo!!! (Shoutout to Michael for finessing my tattoo it slaps dude)

Matthew Ren

Awesome place, great staff, extremely clean and the prices are awesome. The artists don't rush through their work they ensure that you are very satisfied during your consult. While getting a tattoo they ensure that you are as comfortable as you can possibly be, they offered beverages ensured that I got appropriate breaks during my session and were extremely kind. I would definitely recommend this establishment for your next tattoo they are wonderful, the gum ball machine was a great day date for my wife and it was so fun getting a random tattoo, I think the artists had a lot of fun with it too. Great place.

Shelby Day

Walked in for a tongue piercing today. First time with this studio getting anything done. The staff was incredibly friendly and helped me immediately. They have water and some small stuff to snack on while you wait. Kristy was my piercer and she was BOMB. She asked questions and did her best to place my piercing exactly where I wanted it! I’m definitely going back for my next piercing soon! Very clean and aesthetic shop!

Kenzie Grace

Appreciated the guy checking in, he was super helpful and gave me recommendations when I asked for his opinion, which I love!! Asked about cover ups and he also gave me an artist to look into for future bookings! I had booked an online appt. For the sputum peircing I got. Super fast, clean and informative. Will be back 😊 …

Monica Hurtado

Easily one of the best piercing experiences I have ever had. A friend and I wanted to get piercings together, and we found this place by chance since we're new to the area. Everyone we interacted with was so so kind, and made us feel so relaxed. Building was was clean and put together, I knew that our piercings were in good hands. Ryan Provido took care of our piercings and was AMAZING. Incredibly knowledgable about piercings, where to put them, which piercings would work for my ear, and it was so quick. I will definitely come back for my next piercing!

Jamila Godfrey

I showed up for a walk-in appointment, and had the pleasure of working with Linsey. She was phenomenal! She took the time to understand my vision, and boy did she deliver. I liked my tattoo way more than the pictures I showed her. She is friendly, professional, and really shows great attention to detail. I highly recommend her, and will be back to see her again soon.

Olivia R.

I have been going to Trilogy for years for my piercings and can honestly say every experience has been nothing short of amazing. Sarah is my go-to for piercings because she always makes me feel at ease throughout the process and has also been quick to respond appropriately when I felt like I was going to pass out. I have had piercings done by Ryan as well, and he is always fast and professional. I went into the shop a couple days ago for my first tattoo and felt comfortable by seeing the familiar faces. James did such an awesome job not only on the design itself, but also was friendly and made the process significantly less nerve-wracking.

Toni Bernard

I received a Medusa piercing today and it was done perfectly! The piercer was kind and knowledgeable, the process was fast, the interior was exquisite! 10/10!

Katie Faughnan

Absolutely the best tattoo shop experience I’ve had. Super dope place! Everyone there is very friendly. First time getting a tattoo with them and Michael did an amazing job! I love his work and would recommend him, very cool person with a lot of talent! I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone.

El

Olivia is my only tattoo artist at this point because her work and dedication is top quality. Her artistic talent alone makes it worth the wait (she’s super popular so book ASAP). But her personality and humor is just the cherry on top! I haven’t gone to a new artist in over four years and I won’t be goin anywhere else anytime soon. Collective tattoo is a must!

richard tomlin

OUTSTANDING!! It all started with the courteous greeting. Very nice and very easy to work with. Joe who did my tat has a great steady hand and I am very happy with his work. Dave and Melissa have a terrific business with a great staff.👍👍👍. Highly recommend if getting your first tatoo or adding more art. …

Gina Pascal

Super clean! The cleanest tattoo parlor I've ever been in! Everyone super is friendly.I loved how they added me to the wait list and then texted me when they were ready for me. Mike was my tattooist. He made me feel at ease and it was awesome that he took time with me to figure out exactly what I wanted. I love his work. For my next tattoo I will be returning and asking for Mike!

Promise Lambertsen

Yesterday a friend and I went in as walk ins and got on the waiting list, they had told us about 4 hours but we only waited 2. We were able to leave and go grab lunch, which was nice. The girls at the front desk were so nice and personable, I wish I had gotten their names. Michael is the one who did my tattoo! He did such a great job and went back over his work to make sure it was perfect. His line work is amazing. He did the lettering for my daughters name and it is everything I could’ve asked for. He made great conversation and made me feel so welcomed. I will definitely be getting more work done by him! I highly recommend the collective to anyone looking for a tattoo in the Virginia Beach area!

Autumn Huckaby

From the moment you walk into the doors you feel like your business is wanted and appreciated. The ladies at the front were so fun and helpful with all my walk in questions. Chipi handled my walk in and did a fantastic job and I am super impressed with his line work in such a small piece. I would recommend this shop and definitely will be back for my next piece.

Megan Schmidt

I can not say enough good things about this shop! From chatting with Dave (the owner) and being genuinely impressed by his love and pride for the shop and his artists. To Shelby at the front desk being helpful, friendly, and down for a quick chat. To Kristy who pierced my roommate, cousin, and myself (at different times throughout the day, they were busy!) Kristy marked two different placements so we could decide together the best option. She did not rush, but was quick and efficient. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be back! Thanks for an awesome experience and for having a truly inclusive, impressive, safe space in Virginia Beach!

Lauren

I had a consult with Olivia earlier in the year (around August) where I shared my design ideas for my first tattoo, which I got in early November. She was amazing to talk with and offered incredible feedback! I'll be honest, at first I was a little nervous about the idea of a wait list (I'm a very anxious, impatient person, I admit!) but it was beyond worth it. Seeing how Olivia brought the concepts to life was breathtaking, and watching it go from drawing to stencil to ink was an amazing process. As it was my first tattoo I didn't know what to expect, but the atmosphere was really comfortable. There really isn't a better way to describe the shop but chill and friendly, when you're getting work done you feel like you belong there. This is pretty huge, as I'm generally a pretty introverted and shy person, but I felt right at home in the parlor. They had drinks and snacks as needed and were incredibly accommodating. It was a wonderful experience. I honestly couldn't have wished for a better first tattoo, artist, or parlor to have.

Valentina Halilaj

What a wonderful shop! I walked in inquiring about one of their artist who I found on Instagram, but her books were closed. The gentleman at the desk took me to a computer where I could look at other artists and their work, that’s how I found Joe. I booked a consultation instantly. I initially wanted 1 tattoo but because it was 4 years since I got my last, I had a couple of ideas. He offered to do both tattoos in 1 day, I wouldn’t have thought to ask! I’m so happy with my new tattoos, they’re beautiful and exactly what I was looking for. The whole experience was great. Everyone you meet in the shop is friendly. I’ll definitely be coming here again next time I want a tattoo.

Wendy Cruz

Had an ear cartilage piercing. They were knowledgeable, experienced and reassuring. It's been a couple weeks and i have had no issues. The staff at checking were informative, quick and professional. The office was uniquely themed and clean as well as the procedure rooms, very nice, sanitized and upscale.

Michelle Tran

My best ear piercing experience to date. Came here to get a daith piercing and Kristy was incredibly gentle and efficient. My piercing is healing nicely and hasn't given me any issues. She was also very informative on what kind of earrings I should consider for my daith and my old conch piercings. Bonus: the place is very clean and well decorated to boot!

Marihelen Oxford

Walking into Trinity and seeing the lobby made me know it was going to be a good experience. The place is so clean and appealing. As well as the front desk girls. They're so friendly and I actually had a real conversation with them, not some small talk you usually get. I had the artist Mike ( Michael). He did an amazing job on my tattoo. I didn't know what exactly I wanted and he sketched it out and it turned out amazing. The coloring is just magnificent. He also had movies to watch so I would be distracted ! As well as he has a light hand so it didn't hurt as bad as it probably should... And boy did it hurt. He also has a good personality and really cares about what you want. I definitely recommend coming to Trinity Tattoo and seeing Michael. You will NOT be disappointed.

Trinity amber

This is the most comfortable I’ve been walking into a tattoo shop, and that’s a high compliment! The guy at the front desk was so warm and welcoming. I went in looking to get my belly button re-pierced and Ryan was able to do a taper instead of a piercing and it was way cheaper than I expected

Ciara Smith

Walking into this shop is like walking into a different space altogether, the lights, the furniture, the atmosphere is all soo relaxing and exciting to look at. The front staff is always soo awesome and a pleasure to talk with. Everyone from piercing to tattoo is so great to be around. My tattoo artist was Michael Lukeson and he’s the best person to have tattoo you, he’s super funny and easy to talk to and his office is super clean. He’s very accommodating and even plays some rad music, not to mention his tattooing is *chefs kiss* or beautiful in other words. I highly recommend getting tattooed here it’s always a fun experience!

Chris Walker

I've first went to Trilogy Tattoo many years ago and after spending hours searching for an artist whose work would be perfect for the vision I had for my sleeve tattoo. I was fortunate enough to find Clay Thames and set up a consultation. The second I walked in, I fell in love with the atmosphere. I loved the vibe and the employees were all incredibly nice! Clay switched to their sister location, Trinity Tattoo and the place had a similar vibe but still felt like it's own identity. I just went to The Collective for the first time today and was impressed by what I saw. They definitely brought both stores individuality and mixed both vibes together. It's phenomenal. Place looks amazing and the staff are still all incredibly nice! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a place that's welcoming and has some of the best people around!

Emily B.

I decided on Trinity Tattoo based on reviews and a few recommendations. The minute I walked in the doors, I knew I had found the right place to get my tattoo. I immediately felt comfortable and really liked the atmosphere and staff. I was treated professionally but in such a down to earth, friendly manner. Mali was super helpful and sweet! Lorin Hay was the artist who turned my sketchy idea into something that fit me perfectly. The image turned out better than I had anticipated and I couldn't be happier! He is an amazing artist! All of the artists appear very talented and accomplished as well. The owners are available and helpful. My experience at Trinity was better than expected and I have already recommended them to others. I know where I am going for my next tattoo and I can't wait! :)

Molly Hartigan

I got my first tattoo here and the experience was amazing! Anthony was my artist and he did a fantastic job and made me feel extremely comfortable the entire time. The staff is professional and very knowledgeable. My tattoo looks beautiful and is healing very nicely. I would definitely recommend Trilogy to anyone looking for a tattoo and I will absolutely be returning for future tattoos!

Jason.Andrea Van Winkle

This place is amazing!!!! The desk ninjas were super helpful and nice, and went out of their way to make me comfortable during my wait. I had the extreme pleasure of working with Mike Aragon, he did an amazing job! I described what I wanted, he worked with me on all the details, and gave me a beautiful work of art, a burning feather on my foot. I will absolutely be back in the future! I highly recommend Trinity, their artists and staff are the best! Best Tattoo Studio Ever!

Quevon Kinlow

I came in a couple of months ago to get a sleeve done and my artist(Draya) was amazing to work with. She helped bring my idea to life and even helped make it better than what I had in mind. I get compliments constantly and I am glad I went to her. I have a fair share of tattoos and she taught me to clean my tattoo in a way that it healed better than any other tattoo I have ever had. Even their front staff was awesome to me. I have absolutely no complaints. Go to this shop and you won't be disappointed.

Jenna Tinney

I had a fantastic experience getting pierced at The Collective today. Booked an appointment online with Kristy, and she was great! Very professional, explained everything in really good detail and did an excellent job on my 3rd holes and daith. They have a great assortment of jewelry and everyone there was very welcoming and nice as soon as I walked in. Will definitely be back after I decide what to do next!

D Denyer

I had the pleasure of getting an American traditional tattoo from Jon Clement. He is a no bullshit kind of guy that takes his work with pride. The lines were so clean and the shading is of the absolute highest quality. I didn't just get a tattoo I got a work of art. Trinity as a business is awesome. The place is so inviting and the girls behind the desk are incredibly friendly and very helpful. The place is clean, vibrant and very inviting. I will be returning again to get more work completed. My sincerest thanks to Jon for doing such an incredible job.

Sandra Coble

Went to pick up my daughter and came out with my own tattoo. The owner is very personable and inviting to all that enter. Scott did a fantastic job and was quick. Will definitely return and would recommend them to everyone. Love love love this place.

Mordekai Glanzman

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Trilogy from the moment I walked in to check out. I was greeted by staff quickly and I was pleased to find they were very kind, professional and helpful. Clay was my artist, he looked over my drawing and helped me tweak the design to best fit where I wanted it to go. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and skilled. As an artist myself, I am highly impressed by his work and how he carries himself. The shop is extremely clean, orderly, and visually aesthetically pleasing. I will definitely be coming back and going to Clay again! Thank you so much guys!

Gotten tattoos here before, this time by Aaron. He was patient, took his time with the details & placement, gave us 2 size options for our piece, and very clean lines. Beautiful studio all around, & very clean. Will update once piece is healed. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!

Melissa Blake

John "Thrasher" Thiel like always did an amazing job on my forearm piece that I decided to get! He took the time to draw up what I wanted and he was always in contact with me regarding any changes I wanted to it! I am IN LOVE with my Wonder Woman portrait!! John and I have known each other since we were 3 years old and I go to him for all of my tattoos! I follow him no matter where he goes! Trilogy staff was very friendly and polite! Place was extremely clean and I loved the set up of the shop! I already highly recommend them because of John, but I will continue to recommend them to anyone who is looking for a clean and fun place to go! The owner came in a number of times and was very polite and talked to myself and others getting work done. He also complimented John's work a number of times, as well as past tattoos John has done for me! Great place and great people!

Got my very first tattoo today! I have wanted a tattoo, but was a little intimidated about the idea of going to a tattoo place without any experience. We visited a few other shops around town, but came back to Trinity to get the work done. It was by far the best of what we saw. The whole experience was pleasant and professional. The reception area is clean and comfortable, the front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Nikki was our artist, and I am so pleased with the result! She was so friendly and sweet, and she improved on the design idea we brought in, and added really great color. Had the best experience there, would definitely recommend it!

Ruben Trujillo

The shop was extremely clean, and spacious, and also offered the freedom to walk around. The staff came in and opened their business on Easter Sunday just so we could meet our appointment, which was very much appreciated. The prices were fair and our tattoos came out perfect. Overall experience was 10/10. Definitely will be visiting again!

Rebecca Villescas

I absolutely love this place! From start to finish the entire environment felt so welcoming. I had the privilege to get my tattoo done by Michael & I am speechless, he exceeded every expectation I had for my tattoo. He went above & beyond the entire visit, his talent shines so beautifully through his work. He was so patient & not once did he make me feel out of place. I am beyond appreciative & so proud to have his art on me forever. Michael was able to ask the others for their opinion & ask how to make every detail pop, I respect that so much. The vibe throughout the whole day was so positive & I’m honored to have had this experience & it will forever be so memorable, from every person I came in contact with while I was there. This business makes an incredible first impression that is so genuine & pure from beginning to end. I would recommend The Collective & Michael a million times over! Best experience I have ever had! Thank you so very much for making such a lasting impression!

Darin Zacharias

I went in to get a piercing yesterday and had THE BEST experience. Melissa was very friendly (as was everyone) and since they were quite busy, I waited around 10 minutes before I could get checked in. Melissa was very attentive and helped me as soon as she could. I had Kristy as my piercer, she was super nice and gave me an awesome piercing. Helped me pick out some new jewelry for another piercing I had and was really accommodating. I can’t say enough good things about this place and the people who work there. I will definitely be going back!

ross messick

The collective is a very comfortable shop with incredibly talented tattoo artists and piercers. As soon as you walk in you are welcomed by friendly receptionists that make you feel at home. I've been tattooed by Scott and Chad now and they helped me to turn my ideas into cohesive and stunning pieces of art. Not only are the artists amazing at what they do but they are genuinely cool people that want to help you get what you truly want and the atmosphere of the shop is all around top notch.

Kent Cawl

I got one of my first tattoos here not long after they had opened. I was a bit skeptical, but had it done by Michael Lukeson, apprenticing under his father Dave. Dave is the owner, very cool dude and also cares a lot about what comes out of his shop. He stopped by a couple times to make sure everything was going as he would want it too. Michael took his time, but it came out great and healed very well. Very clean and careful of sanitation. I will definitely be going back for my future tattoos. Thanks to The Collective, and y’all go check it out!

Jordan Mayton

Everyone was so nice and friendly. Inside the store was amazing they had a lot of neat stuff to look at. I was a walk-in and got to work with Scott, He was amazing, he made sure that my tattoo was what I wanted and made sure everything was perfect before he started. He was very friendly and the price was reasonable. Very happy with My tattoo, glad I found this place.

Richard Edwards

I had met Dave at a MOCA event where he gave a full day of his time drawing cool things on kids(and adults). My son got a fantastic kangaroo that he didn't want to wash off for days. When I decided to get my first tattoo, I went looking for Dave and dropped by Trinity Tattoo on a Friday evening. The staff suggested I stop into their sister store Trilogy as a walk-in. I stopped by that next morning. I was a bit nervous but was instantly put at ease with the friendly staff and casual atmosphere. My artist was excellent, the whole experience was excellent. My tattoo looks great. I was treated great from when I walked in the door until I left. Dave was there and I got a chance to talk briefly to him and Melissa, his wife, actually checked in on me as Rusty was finishing up with me. Getting your first or tenth tattoo, check out these guys and you will not be disappointed. Thanks again to the whole gang for making my first experience perfect!!!

Sarah

Super clean and professional. James and Scott both did amazing jobs! From the moment we walked in, to the moment we left, everyone we dealt with was very friendly and welcoming. My husband and I both got tattoos just from walking in, and they were excited to help us out. We will definitely be back!

keefer kimball

I got my septum and ear lobes done here. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Shout out to KRISTY for my septum piercing and shout to RYAN for my ear lobe piercing. The staff, as well as, the owners are super friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. They were more than happy to answer any questions I had. If I were to use the word 'authentic' to describe this shop, it would be the understatement of the century. A BIG thanks to you guys! Will be back for sure!

Anthony Chapa

Before traveling on vacation, I made sure to read through all the different shops reviews, and overall this place had the most positives. I made sure to read the bad reviews, and most of them seemed to be an error on the clients side of things and not the business. I made sure to go onto their website, and read EVERYTHING, as they have tons of information about their many different services. I easily made my appointment online, and when I arrived, they instantly greeted me and held my hand through the entire process. As a nervous person, this shop really took the time to make sure I was ready for my new piercing. This is truly one of a kind experience!!!

Erica Lynn

Super clean and cool space. We went to see Michael Lukeson, and he is the friendliest and most open minded dude. His line work was detailed and precise, and he was able to perfectly illustrate my tattoo idea. He’s easy going, professional and super enjoyable to be around. The ladies up front were so nice and more hospitable than most tattoo shops I’ve been to. Overall super happy, and I will definitely make another visit.

Jerri Kennedy

Trilogy rocks! I "walked in" on a Saturday. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was not my first tattoo, but I was still a little nervous. They put me at ease. My piece was small and simple, but my artist made me feel appreciated and took time to look at my references and listen to what I wanted! He created and executed an amazing tattoo that I will love forever!! The entire experience was positive, and of course.... I'll be back!

Audra Wakeman

This is how my experience went down......I go in and feel like l been there visiting friends even though, I don't know anyone there. They really make you feel so comfortable and relaxed, right there for me made me know I made the right decision to get my tattoo done there. My tattoo artist was Matt and what a great guy he is and very humble and easy to talk to of what I wanted. Also, he was very helpful and made sure what was best for me. Then there is Mali what a awesome lady, nice and very patient at the desk when I arrived asking questions and got the answers I needed. As well I got to meet the owners Dave and Melissa when talking with them felt like I've known them for years and was totally happy of what I wanted and that I was satisfied. It was just all around great experience with great people! I will definitely be going back soon!!! Thank you guys so much, I really did leave with a smile on my face!

Izzy Little

I myself did not get a tattoo, I came in with brother who did, however I will definitely be coming back to get one myself. The minute I walked in I was impressed with the art work on the walls, portfolio books on the table for the artists, and the extremely friendly and helpful front desk staff. They offer complimentary refreshments not only to the costumer, but those accompanying as well. Their facility is extremely clean and well kept, but also creatively decorated. The artist who did my brother's tattoo was Clay and he is insanely talented and will also be doing my tattoo when I come in. He's very professional, friendly and makes sure your entire experience is comfortable and exactly what you asked for. HIGHLY recommend Trinity!!

Jamey Peisher

I walked into Trilogy to get a feel for the atmosphere and their approach prior to discussing my tattoo. Everyone I spoke to was friendly and welcoming. I felt so welcome that I felt comfortable proceeding that day. Olivia brought my design to life and it completely exceeded my imagination. I will definitely return for more - I recommend this shop to anyone who wants a tattoo experience and not just a tattoo.

LaTrelle 96

I love trilogy tattoo! I have gotten a piercing here before, and just got my first tattoo yesterday. The store is a lovely enviornment, the customer service is friendly and very helpful, and the artists are extremely talented. My artist was Robert Beck and he did an amazing job! It was my first tattoo so I was nervous, but his design was great and his attitude was even better. He and the other artists are talented and very nice people. Definitely save up money for your next piercing or tattoo because this place is worth it! :)

JeffN1212

My boyfriend and I came in as walk-ins and were treated to the most amazing tattoo experience ever! We had simple pirate themes and Dave and Ben turned them into the most awesome tattoos!!! The front desk was so awesome and friendly I have never had more fun. I'm sure their co-workers are the exact same so Trinity and Trilogy should be your tattoo parlour!! They are in my opinion the best in the country and I have been to other tattoo companies. Thank you Trinity Tattoo Co. for such a memorable time!! We will be back

Tabitha Villaluz

I had Linsey for this tattoo and she did an exceptional job. This is a matching tattoo with my mom. She added so many details and made this tattoo even more special. I’ve been coming here for my piercings and tattoos for a couple years and they never disappoint. Linsey is the best!

Kristen Smith

I am in LOVE with this place !!! I actually went to another shop first , located in Lynnhaven Crossing who seemed like they didn’t really want to work with me . The artist that they had assigned to me had the audacity to tell me “maybe I shouldn’t get the tattoo “ . Just Rude!!! I then proceeded to go to Trilogy inside of the mall and as soon as I walked in I was greeted by friendly faces that were willing to take the time out and discuss the tattoo I was interested in . Even the owner himself made a point to help me visualize how the tattoo would look on my arm . The artist did a great job and I am thoroughly pleased ! I would and will suggest this place to anyone looking for high quality work . I appreciate there customer service and willingness to make a client happy in the end . I will definitely return to this location !

Mary Lawson

Everyone was super nice. My artist, Scott, was very gentle. His artwork was perfect and exactly as I expected it to turn out. The owner even talked to me during my tattoo to distract me from the pain, I think. I made an appointment after walking in and their wait system is perfect! Just get on the list and go do some shopping in the mall. They notify you by text when they are ready. You can even check your place in waiting online. I am extremely happy and would recommend Trilogy to anyone.

Alexis F

I got a septum and a nostril piercing about 3 months ago from kristy. She did an amazing job, there was little pain and the overall environment was extremely clean. The only issue I had was that I spent extra for a pink nostril stud and it tarnished within a couple months. I would definitely recommend getting piercings done here especially your nose, but stick to the original jewelry that comes with the payment.

Brittany Shephard

Trinity & Trilogy are both amazing shops. super clean, great staff .. awesome atmosphere. My husband and I are new to the Virginia area and wanted to get matching tattoos, the second I walked into the shop I fell in love. our tattoos turned out great, it was my husbands first and my fourth. He loved it so much he scheduled his second appointment for a week later and got an amazing lion on his chest by the artist Mike Aragon. Definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking to get an amazing tattoo by any of their amazing artists !! Can't wait to go back and get another !!

Cassie H

My tattoo was done by Clay Thames. He did an amazing job and was very kind and easy to talk too. He explained everything to me even random questions about tattoos and wasn't even bothered about it. The staff as well were really nice and friendly. And the shop was clean and uniquely decorated. Overall my experience at Trilogy Tattoo and with Clay was amazing especially since it was my first tattoo. I'm definitely want Clay to do more and would recommend them to everyone!

Sarah McMullen

A friend of mine recommended Trinity and I was not disappointed. The staff is super friendly and accommodating and all the artists are great at what they do. The shop is super clean and well lit which was a welcome change from your more traditional tattoo shops. The artist that I asked to do my tattoo was Clay Thames and I highly recommend him, especially if you are looking for someone who isn't afraid of bright color. I will definitely be going back to Trinity for all my future tattoos.

Michael Brodie

The staff is amazing, they're all helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and pleasant. Went in with two friends we all had different artists and each of us raved about them. Everyone is great, the place is clean, well run, and professional. I walked in with a line drawing I'd found on line and Martin took what was a plane drawing a truly brought it to life for me. It ended up being so much more than I'd hoped for, I love it and can't say enough good things about my artist, the other employees or the shop. Will definitely be going there again for my second tattoo, if there is a second.

chuck crowthers

This place was great! I have been playing around with idea of getting one and I finally did it. I went in there today as a walk-in spoke with the ladies at the front desk, who were very friendly, and they brought Nikki up to talk to me. She looked at what I brought in, she said give me a minute and let me draw it up. She came back I loved what she did and I was ready to go. She was great! She did a great job on the tattoo and I highly recommend trinity and Nikki if you want some work. Definitely going back. Thanks Nikki Great Job!

Kylin [K-Lynn] Perry

Clay Thames did my first tattoo and I am so in love, he is truly a great artist who is passionate about his work. He makes sure you get exactly what you want. He has an awesome personality and makes sure you feel comfortable while you're getting tattooed. One of my very good friends recommended me to Clay at Trinity Tattoo and I'm so glad she did. Trinity is an awesome tattoo studio with a great vibe, well lit, with vibrant colors and is very inviting inside. The owners and staff great people who are truly passionate about what they do. They all make sure you feel comfortable and get what you need before, during and after your session. I will definitely use Clay at Trinity for all my work. I would recommend Trinity Tattoo and any of their talented staff members. Thank you to all the staff at Trinity Tattoo for making me feel comfortable and at home while getting my first tattoo y'all are truly awesome.

Jenny T

Decided I wanted a piercing and after looking at the reviews for a 50 mile radius this place looked the best and I was very impressed with the bios of the staff. So I drove the hour to get here and was happy to see I had made the right choice. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable, the place was very clean, and there was no pressure to do anything today. I decided to go for it and Sarah did my piercing. She talked me through the process and was skilled in the procedure. I am very happy with my decision.

Heather Harvey

The piercer was amazing and polite. It was my first piercing outside of my ears and it was a pleasant experience!

Deana Berry

My husband and I decided to get wedding band tattoos. I'm been with him to get many of his tattoos and the shops always felt uncomfortable and someplace I shouldn't be. After he met Dave at an event, we decided to get our wedding band tattoos from Trinity. I was completely impressed with the atmosphere! It was very elegant and tasteful. Art work is displayed on the walls instead of the old "pick a number" tattoo pictures. The staff was friendly and inviting. Dave was awesome and very helpful. It was my first tattoo and he made sure it was a pleasant experience. The rings turned out 200% better than I had envisioned. I would definitely recommend this shop to all! My husband has already made an appointment for another tattoo!

Lorrie Tobin DiMeo

You can only make a first impression once and this place did not disappoint. From the first time walking in, asking questions etc. Very clean, nice displays, very friendly staff. This was my first tattoo and i was nervous but Scott was great. From beginning to end Scott kept checking on me, asking if i was ok. The owner Dave came in introduced himself, very friendly. I would recommend this place and Scott to anyone, ESPECIALLY if it's your first. P.S. They did not know i work in the medical field and it was amazing to see how each step of preparation was completed. Safe, clean, sterile. GREAT JOB 😎

Rachel Alvarez

I got my ears pierced here and the quality of jewelry is very good and the piercer seemed nice and personable. The front desk associates were wonderful and very helpful. A couple years ago I got my rook pierced elsewhere and have had issues with it ever since like swelling and bleeding, etc. I got the jewelry replaced here and it feels sooooo much better. The difference is night and day. I can't believe I waited in pain for two years to replace the jewelry with something more high end. I would definitely come back here for any more body piercings or jewelry change outs. Maybe even a new tattoo!

Ian Schlueter

The atmosphere of this place is amazing! The staff was extremely attentive and supportive. They helped me from step one to finish. I walked in and left that day with an awesome tattoo. Chad is one of the best artists I've ever seen. Gave me a really great tattoo. Will be coming back for more tattoos!

Sue S.

My tattoo experience at Trinity Tattoo was awesome. The place is really nice. The ladies at the desk were so friendly and very helpful. Canada did my tattoo and I couldn't be more happy with it. She did such a great job and was a lot of fun to hang out with. I highly recommend to anyone considering a tattoo to go check them out. You won't be disappointed. Will definitely be going back!

D. Goodrum

The Collective is superb! Bringing the two best shops in the area together under one roof to make them even better. I had a consultation and tattoo session with Clay Thames (pronounced “Times” despite the spelling). I came to him with an idea, he gave inputs, and we combined on a picture that I like much more than my original plan. He even handed me some knowledge about the skin and its relation to body art like a cooler more interesting dermatologist. Clay and everyone else at this establishment are true Tattoo Artists and I want a piece done by everyone there. It is no wonder each person is booked months ahead of time. Price is absolutely worth the quality and care.

Kori Swarms

Micheal is absolutely incredible. I won't go to another tattoo artist after I found him. He is so patient, creative, and welcoming. Thank you so much to their staff. Amazing work, amazing shop. Only great things to say about this place

Abby Marie

I got my first tattoo here. It was done by Scott and exactly what I wanted. The shop was clean and most of the staff was welcoming!

Jessica England

Everyone in there is amazing! They greet you as soon as you walk in. And are always available to answer any questions(no matter how silly they are) The check in process is very fast. They even offer complementary drinks and snacks while you wait. Clay was and will always be my artist. He is very professional and friendly. I will recommend him to anyone. Overall, it is hands down the best experience I've had in a tattoo shop.

Gary Bradley

My first tattoo and the experience was outstanding. I was able to talk with the owner Dave upon arriving and he gave me several great ideas for the lettering that really added to the tattoo. Tommy was my artist and it was a real pleasure. He was friendly throughout the entire time, but remained focus on his work. He captured perfectly several aspects of what I wanted to see in my tattoo. After a lot of research, my wife first went to Trinity Tattoo which is also owned by Dave. Loren was her artist and we were so pleased with the quality of his work. This was a big reason for me choosing Trinity Tattoo for mine. Both locations are professional in decor. The folks out front are friendly and helpful. During our two trips to Trinity and Trilogy Tattoo, I watched and listened to at least two dozen customers and everyone of them were positive about the studios, artists, quality, and prices. I recommend these two studios for both new tattoos (like mine) and additions to existing tattoos (like my wife).

Brandon Ruybe

Beautiful parlor with nice seating and walls covered head to toe in awesome art/statues/decorations. Receptionists were extremely nice, informative, and welcoming. Michael Lukeson hooked me up with a rad tattoo that came out nice and exactly what I wanted. During the tattoo there was good music and better conversation. Nicest parlor I’ve been to yet and I look forward to coming back. Keep it up!

Susan Wozniel

This is best place ever!!! They are amazing and know how to handle any situation. Some of the kindest you will ever meet. The tattoo artist was awesome and did an amazing job. Anyone that's going for a first time tattoo definitely needs to check this place out.

Adriana Sviderskas

I got my first tattoo done 3 weeks ago at Trinity and I am more than pleased with my experience and tattoo. I researched a lot of places before choosing Trinity. The front desk girls are the sweetest people ever. They were super accommodating to my friend who came with me and professional in our email correspondence & phone calls. The place itself is prestine. I was blown away with Bennett's job for my tattoo. Since it was my first one, he explained everything he was doing & told me to let him know if/when I needed a break. Surprisingly, it didn't really hurt. I had something slightly different in mind for the design, but he way than exceeded my expectations. I've gotten a plethora of compliments on the beauty of the detail of my tattoo. I've already recommended Trinity to my friends who want tattoos. I'll definitely be going back for any other tattoos. Hands down phenomenal shop! There is nothing bad I can say about my experience.

Dillon Yates

I’ve been getting tattooed by one of the artists here for over 5 years now and I must say that you will never find any other artist that is as nice, kind, and as talented as Olivia is. As for the staff, they are some of the kindest and most knowledgeable that I’ve ever had the privilege of working with. Many companies have some sort of company mission or other, and I must say, The Collective is one of very few that exceeds their mission of providing hospitality and overall customer satisfaction. If you ever have the privilege, nay, the pleasure to walk through those doors at The Collective, I guarantee you will be greeted with the same hospitality as I was. As I am leaving the area, it is bittersweet to say goodbye to The Collective family, but I will always remember the wonderful and exciting experiences with all of the wonderful people that work there.

NavyChief86

I now have 12 tattoos and this last one was by far the best! I had an idea of what I wanted and after checking review on line, I decided to give Trinity a shot. I walked in the door and was immediately welcomed and asked what I was looking to have done. I described what I wanted and the receptionist (sorry, I didn't get her name), recommended a few of the artists and then had me look at some of their work. I decided to go with Jamie Cary and I don't regret that decision one bit! I had a consult with Jamie and showed him some ideas of what I wanted. He told me what he thought would work, and more importantly, what wouldn't. I took his recommendations and made an appointment to come back and have the piece done. I showed up for my appointment, and again the ladies at the front desk were amazing. They called me by name and asked if I or my wife wanted anything to drink, or if we needed anything. Jamie came out, showed me what he had drawn, and I was immediately impressed. We went back to his office which was very clean and I watched as he put all the needles (single use) and equipment together. When we were finished, I looked at my new tattoo and was extremely happy. The tattoo had a lot of sentimental value to me and Jamie did an awesome job. Another nice touch was the discussion of after care. I always ask my artist what they recommend and to be honest, in the 35 years of getting the tattoos, the instructions are usually the same. Wrap in saran wrap, remove after a couple hours, wash with a mile soap and use a lotion for a couple of weeks. This time it was a bit different. Jamie put a surgical cover on the tat and told me to leave it on for four days, then wash twice a day with Dial soap and use a product they have in the shop called redemption. This is a little new to me, so I'll see how it works out. If it like everything else with this experience, It will make my tat stay looking great. If I decide to get another tattoo, I will definitely be back at Trinity and work with Jamie! I cannot stress enough, if you are looking for a high quality tattoo for a very reasonable price, you will not find a better shop that Trinity!

abigail dix

I went here for my first tattoo. The owner and entire staff were so incredibly friendly and amazing. I felt like I was walking right into someone’s home. Jules created my tattoo right on the spot, and did such an excellent job. Clean lines, great shading. 11/10 recommend going here.

Christopher McAbee

Been here multiple times with my friend while she got work done. She comes to see Olivia, who is a joy to be around. Very professional and down to earth artist, with great skill. Today I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Dave. Very considerate and nice individual. Took time to check in on how my friend was doing, to meet us both and shared some of his own personal stories to make us laugh and feel at ease. Clean shop with relaxed atmosphere and great employees. Definitely recommend it.

Susie Chapman

Kristy was a doll!! I will never go to anyone else!!! She is so nice and knows what she is doing. She was awesome !!! This place knew what they were doing when they hired her!!!! I will be going back for many more! She just makes you feel very comfortable. The front desk angel was great too!! Really took time to help me pick out jewelry and was super awesome!!! Such a great place!!!!!! Beautiful and kind souls working here!!!!! I just can’t wait to go back and get my other “⛄️“ forward helix hahaha

Payne Jamelle

I found this tattoo shop by Googling looking for ear piercing. After calling, which the receptionist answered in a welcoming manner she guided me to book via online. So I did! When we arrived we were greeted with smiles. Appointment was at 12, and we arrived at 11:20ish and was checked in and serviced before scheduled time at 12. Though we came for piercings, I am definitely interested in tattoo work. Oh .. plus they came up top on Google and the reviews were AMAZING!

Steven Just

VERY IMPRESSED with TRINITY TATTOO Company! My first impression of the shop set the tone for the entire process of getting a tattoo. The front staff of Abby and Mali was very professional and the process of understanding what I wanted and who would be the "right" artist for me was remarkable. A consultation was set up with a confirmation email and a reminder email by Heather demonstrates excellent customer service and a smart business model. My artist was JAMIE CARY, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JAMIE! Our consultation went well. We spend quite amount of time determining what I wanted, how I wanted it, and what was the best way to display the tattoo on my body. From where to place the tattoo, the angle, and how it would fit best on the area of my body. During our session I was impressed with how clean the entire shop was to include Jamie's area. Jamie's "line work" was incredible. i have several tattoos but his "attention to detail" surpassed any other artists I've had in the past. I was thankful for his explanation of the after-care process. The front staff also sent me an email with a written explanation of the aftercare program. Again, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND TRINITY TATTOO and ESPECIALLY JAMIE CARY. I will return for more tattoos. Steve J. Navy SEAL.

Natasha lewis

I recently got my septum pierced with Kristi, she's wonderful. Quick/efficient/professional and fun. The front desk gal is equally dope. Very helpful and engaging with us. The shop itself is amazing! Just a really cool place in general.

Lauren Little

Walked-in on a Friday evening around 6:00. The receptionist, Stacy, was so friendly and sweet. She made my dream into a reality with a quick appointment with Clay & I'm so happy he was available. He's a super chill dude with dope skills. He saw the picture of the tattoo I wanted and drew it up to perfection!! Even personalized it with his creativity during the tattooing process. We literally spoke the entire 1 hour + time it took to complete. He also offered to correct & perfect my already existing tattoo which I'm hating done elsewhere years ago (blah). Can't wait to book that appointment. All in all, I couldn't be happier with the finished product. Definitely ask for Clay if you happen to wonder in!! You won't regret it.

Bret Click

Great artits, and the staff are very friendly. The owner of the shop is very nice. I got a tattoo from the owners son Michael and he did amazing work. I would highly recommend going here and they will see me returning!

tommy venters

Most amazing first time experience. Customer service is beyond words from the moment you hit the front door. Studio is beautiful, clean and so inviting. I so recommend Trinity to anyone searching for the perfect tattoo. Robert Beck is an outstanding artist, as they all are at Trinity, however he made my experience amazing. Take my word for it, Trinity is amazing!

jean mendelis

Bennett Edwards did a touch up on my tattoo at Trinity. He had done the original work previously and was able to accommodate me with a touch up at the same time as my consultation appointment! This was a major convenience for me. The Trinity studio is impeccably clean and decorated with colorful and interesting artwork. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist who offered me coffee or tea while I signed in. The sign-in process was efficient with no delays. I was whisked back to Ben’s space in no time! Ben had a comfortable chair for me and cool, mellow music playing. Ben is meticulous. He took his time and paid impressive attention to detail. Ben is confident and calm. I felt completely comfortable and knew I was in great hands. When talking to Ben, it’s clearly obvious he’s passionate about his work. He most definitely has a gift! Thanks Ben and the team at Trinity Tattoo for an awesome experience!

Amanda Garcia

I got my tattoo done last September and it turned out amazing! It was more than I had imagined. Mike was my artist and he does truly amazing work! He has an amazing eye for detail and offered a suggestion on how to make my design pop! I entrusted him and I couldn't be happier! I recommend Trinity and Mike to anyone who is looking for a great, caring artist as well as a friendly and inviting location to get your artwork done at! I will be going to Trinity for all future tattoos!

Tyra Dusenbery

I had my nose piercing done by Ryan Provido. He was professional and efficient, also patient with me when I wanted to change the placement of where my piercing would go about four times. I received clear instructions on how to clean my piercing from Ryan and in a detailed email. I'd also like to mention that the woman working the front desk that day (I can't for the life of me remember her name) was incredibly nice and friendly. She walked me through the choices of piercings and their price points and she answered any questions I had. One more thing I want to mention is how cool the interior design is! Seriously, I loved it in there. In conclusion, I had a great experience at Trilogy Tattoo.

Went there to get my septum pierced. Just a walk-in, no appointment. I was able to get in really fast and get it done and paid in about 10-15 minutes. My piercer was Ryan. Really quick and to the point, which I like. Went over after care but also emailed me a more extensive after care guide. Also got to take a look at their tattoo artists' work and will be coming here in the future for tattoos. Overall really great experience. Will be coming back in the future.

Was in town for an overnight trip and looked up shops in the area. I'm so glad I chose Trilogy. The shop was beautiful and clean and the folks at the front desk were friendly and welcoming. The owner Dave introduced himself and made my boyfriend and I feel right at home. My tattoo artist James was really sweet and patient and did a great job on my tattoo... such a great job in fact, that my boyfriend decided to get his first tattoo here as well!! I definitely recommend checking out this shop if you’re looking for a place with a warm and welcoming environment.

DT Washington

I can't say enough about my experiences at Trilogy. The owner and staff are awesome, professional, cool, and down to earth. John Thrasher Thiel is my phenomenal tattoo artist. I have had two Tattoos done by him, and the experience was great. His work is spectacular!

Tiffany Koepke

Brandon did an excellent job on this and I'm very happy with it. Overall I had a great experience and this was a great place to go. All staff was friendly and and helpful. I would highly recommend. New place looks awesome too!

Tressa Shifflett

First time getting a tattoo and was referred by a friend and it truly was the best experience ever. Starting with the front desk staff helping, to talking tp the artist, to getting my actual tattoo completed. Thank you to Lindsey for the incredible artwork

Jessica Surface

I've driven over two hours to go to Virginia Beach just to get tattooed and pierced here! The staff is so friendly and this place has a great atmosphere. Everyone I've meant there has been professional, helpful, and clean. I definitely plan on getting the start of my leg sleeve there :).

Cody H

Truly an incredible tattoo studio. Awesome, sexy, and badass vibe when you walk in. The studio is clean, comfortable and the front desk staff were friendly and incredibly helpful in helping me figure out what I was looking for. My artist, Joe Carter, is honestly one of the most talented people I’ve ever encountered. He’s done two of my pieces now and I would not consider going to anyone else. If you want a great overall experience and want to walk out with a killer tattoo, this is the place.

Asia Barkley

Beautiful place, everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming. The artist I’ve worked with provides amazingly high quality work in a relaxed atmosphere, and is always teaching me things about my skin, tattoos, and things to look for when thinking about my next pieces. My multi-session piece has felt like a team effort between my artist (Clay Thames) and myself, ideas brainstormed and masterfully applied. Would (and do) recommend to anyone !

Kayla Rossi

Most clean, friendly, and professional shop I've ever been in! Went in to get my septum pierced again, they were so nice and welcoming and even offered me a drink while I waited for them to get set up (which was only like 2 minutes). Turns out my piercing was still open from before so all it needed was a stretch! My sister also got hers pierced at the same time, between both of us we were in and out in about 10 minutes! Her piercing was painless! And I got a shirt to represent back in PA. Thank you!

natalie hood

I came in very nervous for my first tattoo ever on Wednesday with Michael. Everyone was so friendly and excited for me to get my first tattoo. Michael was exceptional! He was super honest and reassuring that this was going to turn out incredible. Throughout the entire process, he was very communicative and I could tell I was the priority. There were constant checks on me to see if I needed a drink, snack, or if I was still feeling okay. The end result was phenomenal! I cannot express how impressed and happy I am with my first tattoo and the experience. I highly recommed this place for first timers and for the already tattoed. The atmosphere from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave is so caring and accepting no matter who you are or what you want. My friends and I will be seeing you guys real soon!

Robert Molinaro

This is my third time getting tattooed by Jamie Carey. I have over 12 tattoos from 6 different artists and he is by far the best artist I've ever had, hands down. His attention to detail, line work, shading, etc... is above reproach. He isn't heavy handed either which is a sigh of relief and rarely seen. He really takes pride in his work and it shows. During his consults he is 100% honest with your wishes and gives his opinion as to what he thinks will work and not. He doesn't blindly say "sure that tattoo will work" just because he wants business. He gives his true professional opinion and works with your desires to give you the best experience you've had, everytime. Not to mention, his music selection is on point and he's a lefty! Trinity worked with me on my ever changing schedule and was super supportive in last minute schedule changes. They are always available by phone. In my situation, which limits me to only email sometimes, they respond back almost immediately. If customer service had a star rating it would be 5/5!

Michael Bargallo

This place is awesome! The vibe is amazing! When you walk in the shop is so pretty and clean! The front desk staff is so nice and helpful! I got a tattoo from Scott an sick dragon fly on my arm. Scott is professional quick and great to be aroundthan I got a couple knuckle symbols on my hand from Michael! Michael is awesome! I had an amazing time with him! Greet convo he was super cool professional and really took the time to make sure my knuckle tattoos would stay and took his time to make them perfect! I sat outside with a couple of my friends getting tattoos and the owner came outside! We had such a cool conversation! I will always come here now because of the atmosphere in the shop! 10/10

Alexandra Chanel

There is nothing I can say about this shop that would do anything but sing their praises! The staff is amazing, all of the artists are amazingly talented and the owners are two of the nicest people I have ever had a chance to meet! My husband and I have received a total of 4 tattoos from Trinity and their work is impeccable!! I always recommend this shop to anyone looking to get a new tattoo!! Best shop in VA Beach hands down!! Thanks y'all for everything! And I wish growing success for your company!

Shawn Cavasos

Trinity tattoo was by far the best tattoo shop I've been too. The staff is friendly and helpful and the artists are absolutely amazing. Their shop is clean and professional as well as the staff. Would highly recommend to anyone from the people getting their first tattoo to the people getting a full sleeve done. Can't wait for my next appointment!

Jacinda Fondelier

I got a tattoo on a Sunday as a walk in. It was busy, but very organized and professional. Chipi was lovely and did a fantastic job. I enjoyed the whole experience and would love to come back on a another trip to VB.

Brandon Heatherton

So I came here for my first tattoo and I can honestly say, I'm 100% satisfied with the whole experience. Beautiful atmosphere and the crew there is outstanding! I had a guest from Russia, Alexey Mongol, and he is a true artist. I would recommend this place to anybody who is looking for a quality tattoo and a wonderful experience. I will definitely be coming back for more!

Roasted Leech

Great staff! Really friendly crowd overall. All of the artists are very talented and super easy to talk to. My favorite artist for water color, Clay, got moved there and does really good work. He did my first tattoo! He was really encouraging and patient too. The tattoo is amazing. 10/10

Unique McCants

Sooo, my experience at Trilogy Tattoos was beyond phenomenal. Starting from the front desk, they're very helpful and try to work with your schedule. Not to mention the atmosphere, so bad ass. To those who have never gotten a tattoo.... they are chill yet professional and will bring your vision to life. I've checked out plenty of parlors because this was a pretty decent size tattoo and didn't want it f'd up and I'm in love with it. My artist literally exceeded my expectations. The owner was nice too, even offered refreshments. Thanks again.. I love it 😍😍

Tyler Eastman

I've been here to get two tattoos so far, and have five more appointments set up to get my half sleeve done. Both experiences here have been fantastic. The service and atmosphere is awesome. They have a bunch of really cool pictures hanging up on the wall (you can even buy prints of most of them!) and they have really comfy chairs to hang out in while you're waiting for your artist to get ready. They're super attentive, asking each time if you've eaten (they made me go get food both times I've been in- I forget to eat sometimes lol) and how you're feeling, just to make sure your experience is as drama-free as possible. My artist for the past two tattoos has been Mike Aragon (I got a shoulder piece with roses and a quote, and the lunar cycle tattooed down my tricep). He's one of the newer artists to join the shop, but he definitely knows what he's doing. He's great, makes you feel at ease, and always works to make sure you're getting exactly what you pay for. His coloring, script, and design are all fantastic. I'm definitely going back to see him, even if my sleeve appointments are with Bennett (who I hear great things about, too). I like his style so much to my husband is even psyched to go get something done after he gets back from deployment. Trust me, he will not disappoint. Basically this place is awesome, I can't say enough good things about it. Go!

Ryan Dixon

I got a cover up/add on done by Clay Thames and it came out better than I could have ever imagined. When I first went to Trilogy I checked out all their artists work and picked Clay because his art was my style and figured he'd get me. I had a general idea of what I wanted and was looking for someone to give me some input on what could and couldn't be done for the cover up. Turns out this dude is crazy creative and took my design to the next level. He drew the octopus I wanted on me FREE HAND and continued to rock out every last detail making this thing look like it's popping off my arm. He was very receptive to all my ideas (put every single thing I wanted into it!) and was able to really make this thing one of a kind. Clay and the entire Trilogy staff, including the owner, go above and beyond with their customer service and professionalism as well. Everyone in this shop is extremely knowledgeable about tattooing at every level and seem to be keeping pace with the ever changing world of tattooing. They make the whole thing a very enjoyable experience, which isn't easy considering getting a tattoo does not tickle. Long story short, I will be a lifetime customer, this place and it's people are awesome!

Lily C.

The staff was amazing !!!! Scott the artist did a quick an amazing job would go back to them again! The owner was super kind and very welcoming. If you want a new tattoo spot this is the place to go !

Heidi Bokor

I did a lot of research to find the best place in VA to get a tattoo and after seeing all of the great reviews, I chose Trinity. Let me say.....best decision ever! This shop has been the best I have ever been too by far in my 20 years of getting tattoos! They were very accommodating because I live 2 hours away. They set me up with Draya (Andrea) for an all day appointment to do the consultation, drawing, and work. The staff was very friendly and the shop was clean and inviting. Let me say this....I was there from 11am to almost 8pm and this place was busy the entire time! I have never seen a shop this busy which says something about their work and business. If you get a chance to work with Draya you will not regret it. She is very nice, professional, easy to talk to, and very articulate in her work. Book her fast because she is very popular! I highly recommend Draya and Trinity for your next tattoo. Don't be afraid to make the long drive if you aren't from around there as it will be the best decision you ever made! :)

KC Parks

The Collective is a great shop. My mom, sister and I went to get tattoos today and Michael did such a fantastic job on all of ours. His line work is incredible and we were really impressed by how wonderful the staff was! We will definitely be back.

Christine Sadowski

The girls were very friendly and helpful with working around my work schedule. Anytime they had cancellations that matched up to what I needed they would call me. Tommy definitely has an eye for detail and it shows in his work! I can't stop getting compliments on my new tattoo. YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!!! He is also very friendly as well, and made my very first tattoo less intimidating and more fun! Thanks Tommy and The Trinity Staff! ROOMS ARE PRIVATE AND VERY CLEAN!!! Christine S.

Jose Ramos

My Artist is Dave Lukeson who is also the owner of the studio. From day one I knew I was in the right place. The folks at the front desk helped me select an artist based off the type of tattoo that I was looking for and took the time to get me meet with him. I was impressed with the level of talent and professionalism that I received from all the artist in the studio and knew I was in the right place. Before even getting into the talent of the artist I have to talk about the atmosphere. This was one of the most clean and sterile environments that I have ever been in and in my opinion that is what you want in a tattoo studio. They take the extra time to make sure you are comfortable before, during, and after your session and really keep your best interest in mind. Every session I had with Dave was an experience not just a time slot. As he worked through my piece we had awesome conversations, debates, and sometimes I just watched a movie while the man did his thing. It really was whatever made me comfortable is what he wanted to do. As for the piece that we did all I can say is phenomenal. We had to do a few sessions to get it to the level that I was looking for and he killed it. I didn't just go in and get a tattoo slapped on me and then roll out. After every session he would follow up to see how it was healing and make sure things were going well. Beyond please with the work, the studio, and his team. If you want a experience and some art then I would highly recommend Trinity (and Trilogy) Tattoo Co. but if your just trying to get a 'tattoo' then try the other guys.

Hank Williams

Got my first tattoo(s) here, didn't regret it one bit. Very helpful staff, very experienced artists. Management is extremely professional and flexible to what comes their way. Both of my sessions were walk in and I left absolutely satisfied. Shout out to Ryan btw, if it's your first time ask for him, he really knows what he's doing.

Daniel Taylor

Me and my wife got tattoos done there and the experience was amazing. It was clean, very professional. As soon as we entered the shop we was greeted with professionalism and kind hospitality. Our tattoos look amazing and i strongly suggest anyone who is looking for a great tattoo with good prices go to trinity tattoo they are amazing!!!!!!!

Isabeau Couture

Absolutely love this place! Do not be fooled by the fact that it’s in a mall. Easily one of the best places to get tattooed or pierced. The front desk is always more than helpful and treats you like a guest, not a number. The establishment is very clean and all of the staff are just awesome. Each very knowledgeable, and just down to earth. Gotta love a place that cracks jokes and makes you smile. I’ve had not only had the pleasure of being tattooed twice here (by Olivia, who is beyond amazing!! I love her personality, and her sense of humor... did I mention her tattoos are beautiful?! ... great bedside manner too ;) I shake like a chihuahua) but also had several piercings as well. They’re very thorough on your aftercare procedure and have no problems addressing any questions or concerns. Never had to deal with primadonna/tattoo god attitudes. Got to meet the owner Dave today while getting my sternum tattooed. Just came to check in and see how things were going, shared a few tattoo stories of his own which made me laugh. As odd as it sounds while having your whole upper body on display, was really comforting. Great seeing an owner that’s not only hands on with his staff but genuinely cares for his staff, their clients, and the art produced. If you can’t make it to this location, be sure to check out their other one, Trinity Tattoo off Bonney Rd. Been tattooed there as well (by Bennett Edwards, he helped turn my botched arm into a beautiful work of art. He’s another down to earth amazing person!) Just like this location, it’s phenomenal in every aspect. All in all, as long as I have skin to tattoo and pierce, I’ll be coming back! One con... got to use the guys bathroom today (ladies was occupied) ... how come they get all the cool comic book wall art?! Don’t worry fellas.. I put the seat back up for y’all, I’m classy like that ;)

Nikki Dwyer

I just got a palm tree tattoo here from their guest artist Rodrigo. I saw his work on Instagram & wanted to go from there. He was super considerate of what I wanted & how I was feeling during the process. He was fast & quite skilled in tattooing. I absolutely loved my experience here! The owner spoke to me & was very genuine. Everyone I talked to was super friendly! I've been to other places where the people aren't very personable, but that's the exact opposite here. I would recommend to anyone! I use a wheelchair, & they even set up a mini ramp for me to get up & down the step in their shop. The atmosphere & quality of their work was commendable.

Michelle Bortner

I found this place on a whim based on other people's reviews. I was a little skeptical since it is in a mall but it definitely did not disappoint! The girl at the desk (whose name I unfortunately forget) was very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. I got my daith pierced by Sarah. She was awesome! She explained how how she would do the piercing, was very nice, and talked to me through the whole thing. The place was very clean and sterile. I would definitely recommend this place and go here again!!

Devin Leleux

Awesome place. I just got my first tattoo here and the experience was great. I initially went and choose Scott to work on my first tattoo. After talking with him and explaining what I wanted, he went up and beyond to explain to me what I needed to look for in a tattoo artist. Instead of him taking me on to get some money, he recommended for me to go with Joe, who did a phenomenal job. These guys are going to do what's best for you. Highly recommend them.

Abby Rennels

I went for my first tattoo at Trinity last week and was AMAZED! I had a rough idea of what I wanted and got the chance to sit down and talk about it with Dave. He made some suggestions that I never would have thought of. I decided to trust him as the artist and my tat turned out awesome! Very clean, very diligent, very friendly. When I'm ready for my next one, I am waiting until I am back in Virginia to go to back there. Thank you, Dave. My husband, Mother-in-law, and I all love our new tattoos. You are an incredible artist with a fantastic shop.

Hennah Harbin

Nice place to get some ink! Abby at the front desk was very friendly and helpful, Dave the owner made an appearance, and Jamie the artist was considerate, even when I had him redo the lettering of the initial press-on. Thanks to all of you! I would recommend making an appointment ahead of time, as I did have to wait awhile. I wouldn't expect any different for a walk-in experience, though. No complaints! I would happily get more work done at Trinity :)

Sajo Hrustemovic

One of the best tattoo shops in all of Virginia. Got 3 tattoos here so far and every experience has been great from the front desk to the artist. My work was done by Joshua and I'm beyond happy with the quality. You won't regret going here.

Michael Towsend

Me and my Wife have been going to Trinity Tattoo Co. for about a year now. They are amazing they are very clean and very friendly, when we first moved to the area we drove all around Hampton roads looking for our new tattoo shop, and we are more than happy with what we found in trinity. I have had my shin done and my foot and I have to say they look amazing. The Artist are really talented. I would also like to recommend if you do go ask for Rama Bass, He is a great artist and actually cares about the client. He tattooed my foot and he did a great job and than after he was done he actually took the time to let my foot sit for a few mins before bandaging it up. He than told me his technique for the healing process and I know every artist has there own way but I have never had a tattoo heal faster than when I went to him.

Sheena Alvarez

I brought my 17 year old here for her septum and then my 16 year old for her nostril within the last 8 months and both had an amazing experience with kristy!!! Will absolutely come here again. Extremely friendly, professional staff and clean, gorgeous facility! Can’t wait to get a tattoo here !

LaTina Hassell

I worked with Olivia to design a partial sleeve and gave her 100% artistic control with a few suggestions of things i like. She was amazing would highly recommend her. Her talent and company was worth every cent! So happy!!!

Sarah Benedict

I went in today hoping to get a walk-in appointment with Olivia Mackling. By some crazy stroke of luck she had a last minute cancelation and was able to fit me in. However, I showed her my tattoo design (small text on my forearm) and she explained that text that small tends to bleed and ends up not looking good long term. She took a good hour trying to find me a design that I liked and that would hold up. Ultimately I decided to come back another day. I was very grateful and impressed that she was willing to take the time to explain why my concept wouldn’t work exactly how I pictured and to try and help me develop one I loved. I look forward to deciding on something that will last and scheduling an appointment with her another day. Update: got my tattoo from Olivia! She did amazing and I absolutely love it.

sarah barthe

I came in to have my daughters cartilage piercing changed out. It was super welcoming, the lady at the desk was friendly and gave us good information, and the piercer who switched out the hoop did it quick and now it is healing right, so I am very happy. I wish we didnt move 3 hrs away or I would definitely come back again for new piercings. Their tattoos look great too. They seem to have very talented artists

Robyn Kozloski

Amazing staff and establishment! All of the front desk workers were professional and very friendly. I have two tattoos done by Clay, both of which are amazing. He walks through you everything he does, which is awesome to me since my first tattoos were from him. I also had a piercing done by Sarah. She made it quick and as painless as possible. Both areas were very neat/clean and orderly. Everything here is worth what you're paying for. :))

Anne S

I'm only giving three stars bc we never got around to using their services. I scheduled an ear piercing for my 10 year old daughter, only to arrive for the appointment and find they don't do piercings under 12 years old. Nowhere on their website is an age limit mentioned! I even put special instructions in my booking request stating it was for a 10 yo, but apparently no one reads those. The facility looked gorgeous, I was excited to try it out... but they need better communication of their policies.

Sara Beth

I've had two sessions so far working on a half sleeve with Clay Thames. He's an amazing artist and awesome tattooer. I highly recommend! Also, at my last session, I was talking with Clay about a piercing that I've been wanting forever. He called Ryan into the room and Ryan discussed my different options of placement and stud types. I walked out of the shop that day with work done on my half sleeve and 3 new piercings. I'm extremely happy with both and definitely looking forward to my next session!! Lastly, I need to mention the front desk staff. Every single time I walk into the shop I get smiles from everyone and always feel like I belong (some tattoo places are intimidating, but not Trilogy!!)

LaVonne Hairston

I had a really amazing experience with Draya. I was initially unsure of my design, but she was both kind and extremely patient. She drew up various designs until we both loved one and we moved forward. The shop is clean and chic. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I'd definitely come back for future artwork and highly recommend them to any and everyone.

TiLeigh Sturtevant

Without realizing that the shop is a custom shop, my boyfriend and I went in not knowing what we wanted, which ended with us using their “get what you get” gum ball machine option and both got artists choice. James was so friendly along with everyone else in the shop, and his artwork is something out of this world. Fantastic artists and great environment. Thank y’all so much for a great experience!

Willow Roberts

I went for a walk in for my first tattoo and everyone was so patient with me. The place was super clean. I got seen right away and I was done in just a few hours with a beautiful copy of my own drawing. Highly recommend for first tattoos.

Jenn Smith

I went into Trinity Tattoo today to discuss a tattoo that I wanted to get. When I walked in, the place was really nice, and the woman at the front desk seemed really nice as well. I started to ask a few questions, and I asked about the price... I recently read a few articles and have learned that tattoo artists hate this, and while I understand that, I wasn't asking because I am not willing to pay the price for what I want... I was asking because I wanted to be able to budget the money, so that I do not have to put it on a credit card!! I understand that tattoos take time, and that a great tattoo isn't cheap, I already have two, so I know this first hand. Anyway, I felt like this turned them on me... The lady at the front desk asked a tattoo artist to talk with me about the tattoo, and she mentioned that I was asking about pricing for the tattoo. I felt like the artist was trying say things that would turn me away from the tattoo, because I had obviously offended them by asking about the price!! Also, there was a guy standing right outside the front door that was kind of rude when I opened the door after saying "excuse me" twice while slowly opening the door. Needless to say, I did not get the tattoo and will have to look elsewhere, which kind of sucks because I looked into them before going in and feel like they do great work and it would be have been a really great tattoo!! I gave them three stars, because the shop looked great and I feel like it's probably a good tattoo shop, but it just didn't work out for me! I didn't get a welcoming feeling (which may have been my fault) and I read that if you don't get a welcoming feeling from the tattoo artists and receptionists, it's not the right place to go!!

Ashley Hurd

I was in town visiting my best friend who's in the navy. We planned to get matching tattoos and decuded to get a price from Trilogy. The girls at the counter were SO nice. We got our price and moved on through the mall. The customer service was so awesome though, that we went back and asked if they could get us in same day. Anthony French did such a good job and was such a nice guy! I went back to give him a tip and thank him again and he was seriously so genuine. I have two other tattoos and this was seriously the best experience ever and a memory we won't forget!

Cleanne Bowen

I absolutely love getting work done at Trinity tattoo! It's a super chill and clean environment. Their communication whether through reminders or follow ups is amazing, simple, and professional! The staff there are really good at creating a truly laid back environment! My artist is Jamie Cary and as long as he's around and I'm getting tattoo's he's definitely the guy i will stick with! His precision, detail, and line work on all my tattoo's are insanely perfect. He really takes time to work with you to get exactly what you want, how you want it, and where you want it. He also isn't afraid to be honest on what will work well for you and probably won't! Im working on my full sleeve and he's done all the work on my arm and has shown dedication and creativity as i figure out how to piece together my sleeve! Im very appreciative that I'm able to get work done by Jamie and to get work done at Trinity overall. I have not even one con that i can think of about Trinity and I've never had a poor experience there. This is where i recommend all my friends and family go when I'm asked and if your looking for a reliable place to get a safe, great, and reasonably priced tattoo then this is the spot!!

Jeff Matson

Yeah, a tattoo shop at the mall is kind of weird. Not something I was used to. When following Olivia Bright to Trilogy, I knew what to expect from her, but had no idea what to expect from the shop. It turns out, I couldn't be happier with Trilogy. Everyone at the desk is extremely courteous and friendly, the artists are all top notch, and you completely forgot that it's in a mall super quickly. The prices are very reasonable. If you're looking for a $50 garbage tattoo, this isn't your shop; but if you want it kickass custom work of art, Trilogy is the place to be. Seriously, I couldn't be happier. I've even taken my easily offended and timid mother-in-law here for her first tattoo, and she had a great experience. Everyone there kicks ass; especially Olivia Bright. Highly recommended.

Eddie Creel

I had a delightful time with Linsey yesterday. I got my first tattoo and she made me feel so comfortable and we chatted the entire time. It came out wonderfully and I'm already planning to schedule an appointment for my second tattoo.

Lindsay Prescott

I have gotten two tattoos from Trinity in the past year, and I have been nothing short of thrilled. Each tattoo was beautiful and exceeded my expections each time. The studio always kept cleaned by the front desk staff, who are positively delightful. The artist are friendly and social. Both tattoos healed great and I get nothing but compliments on them. For anyone looking to get their first tattoo or even add to their ever growing collection, Trinity would be my first choice.

Malakai Bloom

The environment is unbelievably comfortable. From the moment of walking in my wife and i were greeted and the front staff is amazing! Super sweet, down to earth, and kind. The inside is super legit and awesome so definitely take a long around. Will be coming back for more tattoos!

Luann Smith

I met Dave decades ago (Fuzion Ink) but didn't get my tattoo from him. Nope, I eventually sought him out to cover that one! (Trinity) This time around, I'm adding to it, and Dave is the only artist I would trust to do this one right. This location was a pleasant surprise, clean, well lit, beautiful art and beautiful people. Being welcomed like a friend starts as you walk in the door, and continues through the whole experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Amy Capps

Visited while on vacation. Loved everything about the shop beginning with my initial phone call. The front desk staff was amazing! Michael did my tattoo and exceeded all my expectations! By far the best experience I've ever had!!

BobsHeisenbergers

Love love love this this shop! From the front end staff, to the artists, to the owner, everyone here is super nice, informative and awesome to interact with. I’ve gotten 2 tattoos from Michael so far and I’m sure will get many more here in the future. Do yourself a favor and visit this shop!!!

Sean Ward

My wife an I were in town visiting an we wanted to get a tatoo the front desk girl was super friendly an absolutely awesome my wife actually liked one of her piercings an decided to get one done also place was great an our artist was fast an work was on point thanks guys we will definitely visit again 🙌 …

Mandy Sheppard

I've considered the subject matter and placement of, essentially, my first tattoo for many years but have been waiting to feel comfortable with an artist I could trust with an original piece. After a personal reference to Dave at Trilogy Tattoo, I decided to move forward. The tattoo studio was like entering someone's home: comfortable and inviting. The staff was friendly and encouraging. The tattoo itself exceeded my expectations.

KATHY C STEENBURGH

I am from out of town, just walked in and have never had a tattoo before. The staff is great and very professional. They were very busy at the time and wasn't sure if anyone could do a small tattoo. They had an artist come out and talk to me. He drew up what I wanted and did a great job! I picked this place because of the good reviews I read online. I would highly recommend!

sara strickland

Trinity tattoo is amazing! Working on a full sleeve with mike and i will never go anywhere else. I searched for a tattoo shop for awhile when I got to va beach and when I found this place I couldn't believe how clean and great the staff was. They pointed me in the right direction as far as what I wanted and what artist did the kind of work I liked. Mike is great and I couldn't have asked for a better artist. Everyone here makes you feel comfortable and like they have known you for years. If your looking for a great place with good prices for a quality piece. I would totally recommend trinity tattoo to anyone!

Rob_teh_Builder

7/22/18. This is my initial impression. I am extremely pleased with my first visit. I was greeted quickly and was well on my way to getting my appointment set up. I had a design in mind and it developed into a full on conversation about it. They are very knowledgeable about a lot of topics which makes it very easy to decide what you want and who the artist is that will do the work. I highly recommend checking these guys out, even if you think you know where or who you want to do your tattoo. I think you'll change your mind!

Jessica Wood

Ryan Provido was my piecer and he was amazing, he explained everything before doing anything. The girls at the front desk we soooo friendly. The shop was extremely clean. The owner checked on me and made sure I got exactly what I wanted after introducing himself to me. Great customer service. Their prices are also great. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM! I will definitely be coming back to them for all my piercing and tattoo needs. I can’t say enough great things about this shop!

Peggy Lamb

Loved my experience at Trilogy this weekend. Clay Thames is an amazing artist! Not only did I have a fun time with my daughter, I had the chance to meet and chat with some truly amazing people. The owner checked on us several times throughout the day and the atmosphere in the shop had the best positive vibe. I NEVER write reviews so that tells me that something special happened to me if I am writing a review a day later - still smiling and wanting to tell everyone about it!!!

Eric Sartin

I’ve had work done by Scott and Mike. Both pieces came out really well, executed exactly how I wanted, with awesome customer service throughout my visit. The shop is very clean, refreshments are provided, and they make you feel welcome. I will return for my next tattoos

Corey Whitaker

Trinity tattoo is the nicest tattoo shop around, I love the atmosphere its professional and inviting. I've had multiple tattoos done here, but my last 2 have been done by Travis. He's so skilled, both my tattoos have came out exactly how I wanted and even better than I pictured. He's very respectful and you can tell that he takes pride in his work, he wont just slap a tattoo on you so he can get paid like some people. You wont regret going here whether it's your first tattoo or your hundredth.

Tina Dennis

This place rocks! My sister and I went in this morning and we were treated with some of the nicest and best customer service ever! Scott did an awesome job and was just straight up about everything. The owner even stopped by to make sure we were satisfied with the service. Just the whole atmosphere of that shop is upbeat! I will definitely be going back to Trilogy for all my work and Scott is the man!

Deborah Hollingsworth

My daughters and I went and got piercings. Ryan did all of them, he is amazing, gentle and courteous. If you go there book your appt with Him you won't be disappointed. The place was very clean and sterile. Hope this helps someone.

Lindsay Pitts

An awesome experience from beginning to end. Front desk staff are amazing, friendly and helpful. I can't say enough good things about the artist who did my tattoo. Joshua was patient, concise and he is incredibly talented. A perfect environment, clean and aesthetically pleasing. Highly recommended.

Nikki S.

I now have three tattoo's and the newest one I received from Sean Green at Trinity Tattoo is just amazing ( the now best one of the three). There was so much small detail I didn't think it could all be done, and he proved me wrong. The staff at Trinity tattoo are really nice and helpful and I can't wait to make my next appointment there. Thank you so much!

Kyle Holling

Absolutely love this place, I have been here multiple time and always walk away completely satisfied and impressed. An extremely clean environment as well as a very respectful and helpful staff. The professionalism displayed by the artists and secretary's are second to none. Not to mention at a very fair and reasonable price, especially for the quality of the work. I will continue to give trinity tattoo my business as long as I have space on my body for tattoos.

Chelsea Adams

Love this shop. Front staff was welcoming, the owner was very sweet and the artists are exceptional. Chad Carter did my tattoo and I'm in love! It healed very well and he was very professional. I will definitely be a returning client.

Matthew Dixon

I had a private piercing done and I was in and out in under fifteen minutes and it wasn’t painful at all the piercing artist was an absolute pro. Definitely going back there for my next tattoo as well.

James Berrier

You'll have to search far and wide for a shop with so many talented and professional artists. Tbe atmosphere is warm and inviting as well. You feel like home unlike some of the other shops in the area. If you are looking for an incredible tattoo with a great experience, this is the place. Same owner as the VA famous Trinity Tattoo.

Wesley Clay

I visited Trinity for my very first tattoo, and I can say the experience was great. The whole staff was very welcoming and Dave made me feel comfortable and explained everything in detail. My tattoo looks great and I couldn't be happier! Definitely visiting again!

Erin Connolly

From the moment my friend and I walked into Trilogy we felt very welcome. We lucked out getting Clay as our artist. He is so much fun and an amazing & talented tattoo artist and he absolutely nailed exactly what we wanted. Hands down the best tattoo experience I've had thus far and I will absolutely make the trip from Massachusetts to come back and see Clay in the future!

Liz Orwig

You can "get a get tattoo" pretty much anywhere you go. HOWEVER, if what you want is a piece of art produced by a true artisan, then Trinity Tattoo in Virginia Beach, Va is where you need to be. Founded in old school craftsmanship with an artists style, this studio puts the old ideas of tattooing to shame. Dave Lukeson, proprietor, and artisan brings both a love for the art he produces and the knowledge of how to evolve with the generations of body artists to a well laid out and flowing studio. His fellow artists are friendly, professional and quality artisans. His front staff consists of women who know their stuff when it comes to making a client at home and efficiency. They cater to you and treat you like family. Don't just get a tattoo from anyone. Get a piece of artwork. Get to know your artisan. You will become one of the family, you will be proud to display your art, and you will know that none can compare to the people at Trinity. Thanks Dave! Be seeing you again soon!, Liz (the fairy lady!)

Chris Hedrick

Best shop in the area. Artists and staff are very professional and do great work. My wife and I had work done by Casey. Great artist! Highly recommend this place to anyone. I have been to other shops in the area, and none of them compare to Trilogy. The prices are very reasonable. They do take walk ins, which is great. If you have questions about your tattoo, they will take the time to help you with it. I'm already looking forward to my next tattoo!

Devon Chambers

I refuse to go anywhere else ! I personally use Clay as my artist, however I've seen some of the others work and WOW ! They're all great! The shop is very clean, the staff is amazing, and the work done there is even more amazing. The front desk is so welcoming and exciting, it makes you even more excited to get your work done! I don't ever plan on changing shops because there is absolutely no reason too! (:

Michael Lukeson

Years ago I helped my father take his first steps in the construction of Trinity tattoo. After watching my father and my step Mother Melissa put they're heart and souls into this shop it's a blessing to see it today as the most respected and beautiful shops of Hampton roads. The other day I was granted the opportunity to finally sit down with my father and have him put his mark on me. It was very impressive to see how personal and professional it is here at trinity. Having my own profile created and signing in before the session. Very cool to be introduced to the ins and outs of the shop. You're in good hands here. This place is legit baby.

Ann Hegberg

Trilogy Tattoo treats you as a valued client. This is my third tattoo shop and there is absolutely no comparison in customer service, professionalism, and quality. I won't ever consider going anywhere else again! The friendly and welcoming customer service begins the moment you walk in. The ladies at the front desk are great! I've called a lot of tattoo shops only to be made to feel like I'm waisting their time. At Trilogy, the girls took the time to explain the scheduling with me and to answer all my questions. I've had three little tattoos done before but this last one was a lot bigger, and after a terrible customer service and painful experience at a tattoo shop in Norfolk, I was very nervous. At Trilogy, however, the girl at the front desk made me feel extremely comfortable and eased my anxiety. Clay did my tattoo. Super nice, respectful, talented artist! He was always concerned for my comfort and made sure that I was handling the pain ok! He put me at ease and was very professional. He took the time to explain what he was doing! I absolutely love my tattoo! Clay Thames really took what I wanted and created a beautiful peace of art. I could not be happier! Do your research! And if theres a wait for the artist you want, wait! Don't go somewhere else! It's worth waiting! The tattoo shop is spotless and they are very concerned with your aftercare. Clay took the time to explain aftercare and its importance. There's just no comparison to other tattoo shops I have been to...customer service and professionalism! Not only will I have this art for the rest of my life, but the memory of a great experience! Thanks, Trilogy Tattoo!

Bug Seal

I've gotten tattoos all over the US, and this is one of the best shops I've ever been to. It has such a welcoming atmosphere as soon as you walk through the door. The staff was so welcoming and friendly, which made the experience all the more enjoyable. I already can't wait to go back for my next tat!

Malia Perez

I got my nose done by Kristy Ross and she did an absolutely amazing job!! I have been to a few other local places and this is where I will now go. 10/10 recommend. The guy at the front desk was so helpful and welcoming, I loved my experience here. Book an appointment with Kristy!!

Laura Beck

What an awesome, clean, professional place to have your artwork transferred, from paper to your body. After having my first tattoo done there, I have sent a number of people to have the same. We have all been ecstatic with the finished product. I totally trust Dave and his staff and would not think of ever going anywhere else. Highly suggest you go to Trinity or Trilogy for all of your tattoo needs !!

Docota Fox

Everyone here is very professional and respectful. They treat you with tact and tend to your every needs. They know what getting a tattoo can do and have drinks to help your blood sugar. The skill of each artist is amazing. Thank you.

Joey Peisher

I've never felt so welcomed and engaged in a tattoo place. Everyone was friendly and made me truly enjoy the experience. The owner even recommend me an artists who would love to work woth be based off of my love of star wars. I feel like this is a place I can safely come back to ans always leave with just what I wanted and a smile on my face. 10/10

James Foshee

I have been to this shop 2 times. I can honestly say I've never been to a more friendly and clean place. The front staff is always helpful and friendly. They are more then willing to answer questions and do there best to find answers; very attentive. I walked in and as always the front desk staff greated me and Bennett the tattoo artist happened to be sitting there and the front desk signed me in. Then me and Bennett talked about the tattoo idea he had come up with and we decided to go with the Chevy bowtie emblem he had thought of and he had a great idea about giving it a crome look. After getting going he just slowly created what turned out to be an amazing tattoo. His skills amaze every time I see his work. I would recommend them they have fair prices and amazing artists. All around good people with great attitudes.

Nikki Bollinger

I had the best experience getting my spine tattoo with Michael Lukeson! I wanted a quote down my spine that said “What matters most is how well you walk through the fire”. He took the time to sketch the quote for me, rather than having some computer generated font. I told him exactly what I wanted and he totally delivered. He was a perfectionist and made sure the quote lined up exactly how it was supposed to. Super professional! When we were about finished up with my tattoo, we had his dad, Dave Lukeson, check it out. Dave thought it would be hilarious to mess with me and say the wrong quote towards the end. He read “What matters most is well you walk through life”. I about had a freaking heart attack thinking I had the wrong quote tattooed on me, but he was just kidding! Honestly, it was a much needed laugh and we were all dying from my reaction! I couldn’t be happier with my tattoo. It completely exceeded my expectations. The service was amazing. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere and decor is awesome. I love that it’s a family owned business! I 1000% recommend going to this tattoo shop. I will definitely be returning!

Kelly Long

Canada is nothing short of the best! Rad personality coupled with amazing artwork and shading, I couldn't be happier with the result. Trinity staff is amazingly helpful and accommodating. Owner Dave took his personal time to check out how we were doing and offered us pizza since we skipped dinner. The venue is centrally located and decor and cleanliness cannot be rivaled. Overall I really cannot express how happy I am that a friend recommended this goldmine to us! We will absolutely be back. Canada is awesome!!!! :)

Jolynn Smith

So yesterday was the first day the new location in Lynn haven Mall was opened. I am thrilled to say that I was the first customer that at the new location!!! So I made my appointment like two weeks ago to have a tattoo done by Tommy. On the day of my appointment I was all ready to go and I ended up waking to the tattoo parlor that was located on Bonney Rd which is a ten minute walk from my house only to find out that my appointment was all the way at the mall. At this point I thought I would have to reschedule my appointment because my car was in the shop and I had no way to get all the way over to the mall. But then one of the women that worked there offered to give me a ride, since they had contacted me in advance and they offered to give me a ride back if I needed it. Once there I was checked in, advised to eat (since it had totally slipped my mind), and then we went to work on my tattoo. Tommy was amazing and I left there with a beautiful tattoo. He and Dave (who shares a booth with him) were really friendly and I will definitely go back there for more artwork!!!!!!

I had the perfect experience at Trilogy Tattoo!!! Scott Kingan and the Trilogy Tattoo team are the BEST!!! When I first called for an appointment, the person that answered was very professional and knowledgeable. While setting up my appoint to discuss what I wanted, she made sure that any and all questions I had were answered to my satisfaction. Arriving at the store I walked into a very clean, warm and relaxing atmosphere. I was greeted and made to feel very comfortable right away. I met with Scott and we went over my design. He listened to what I wanted and we discussed the details. His demeanor and knowledge made me feel that I made the right decision. Yesterday I arrived early for my appointment, again greeted with smiles and warmth. They checked me in quickly providing me with everything I needed. I didn’t expect to get in any earlier than my scheduled time, Scott came right out and we started. He explained everything I needed to know and made a few recommendations to improve my design. When done Scott had exceeded my expectations and made the design even better than I imagined. The Trilogy Tattoo team knows how to do it right!!! I was never left wondering about anything, Scott and everyone at Trilogy understand and know how to communicate which is so rare today. Thank you all so much for one of the best experiences. I WILL be back for more!!!!

C.J. Davis

Came here for my 18th to get two tattoos and a nose piercing, one of the tattoos was larger and was a coverup piece. Great experience here, all of the staff was super friendly and helpful and the artists were professional and clean! If I’m ever in the VA Beach area again I will definitely come back! Would totally recommend to anyone looking for a good priced tattoo shop that does walk-ins, they definitely care about making sure everyone is comfortable and satisfied.

ariel marquis

i’ve been to this studio a few times over the years (trilogy and now the collective) and have not had a bad experience. just like anywhere you go, you may have to wait a bit but it is worth the wait! today i went in for a “you get what you get” and got a one-eyed alien invader! was very nervous to have an apprentice do the piece, but mike did AMAZING! i highly recommend not only this studio but mike as well! and as always, the front desk gals were amazing! thank y’all for another amazing experience!

Kim Winters

Found Ben at Trinity about 4 1/2 years ago and have spent a lot of time with him in those years. He's the best!! We moved to Md and I still drove back to get tattooed by him. I love letting him design my ideas and seeing how pumped he gets to design them, be artistic and then put that vision into a tattoo..The whole shop is so friendly, professional and supportive of each others work.

Chewy

I went and got my nose pierced. This would be the 3/4 time for me. This was in January 2020. It’s now March basically and I still have my nose ring in!! Thank you collective tattoo & body piercing. The guy who did my piercing was gentle and nice and very professional. If I lived in the VA area, this is where I would go for tattoos and piercings!! Chochu

Destinie Ore

Morgan did an amazing job! She is a talented artist! As always The Collective doesn’t disappoint!! Sooo much talent in one building!

Wendy MacDonald

I went here for my first tat today and I am so in love with it!!!!! I was really nervous and I kept getting cold feet because I just couldn't figure out exactly how I wanted my design. I came in as a walk in just right after I called to see if anyone was available. Heather greeted me right away and was eager to help me figure out designs for my queen of heart tat. After about 30 minutes of searching and telling them what I'm looking for, my tattoo artist Scott came out to meet me and was easy going about it all. He gave me a few options then came back with what I selected on paper with the size. Of course, like everyone usually asks I guess, I was scared it was going to hurt. He explained that it feels like cat scratches, which that's exactly how it felt-- painful and irritable. BUT Scott did it so fast that I was left smiling, impressed and overall satisfied with the outcome. I immediately told him I loved it. I recommend anyone to go here! They really do care and know what they are doing. Thank you guys for leaving me with a great experience and a beautiful tattoo for the rest of my life!!!!!! ❤❤❤

Leah V.

Trinity Tattoo is by far the nicest (and cleanest) environment to get a tattoo. All the staff was friendly and helpful from the time that I scheduled my appointment until the time that I left with fresh ink. Dave is an amazing artist and so easy to work with. He took my basic idea, ran with it, and turned it into something Awesome!

Steve Conner

I had been thinking about getting this tattoo for 3 years, but was procrastinating. I have had some bad experiences in the past with tattoos done on walk-ins, which were finally fixed by a talented artist named Art when I was stationed in Guam. That was 15 years ago. Since then I’ve been very picky about who was going to do my ink; so much so that I hadn’t had anything done in the last 15 years. So when I told my wife about this tat that I wanted, but didn’t think I’d ever get done, she up and booked me an appointment with Trilogy. She told me it was at the mall, and like I’m sure you’re thinking now I said “at the mall? Really!?! I don’t know.” She showed me the website and I was impressed with the portfolios I saw. So I figured a consult wouldn’t hurt. When I showed up I was impressed with how classy the lobby… waiting area… boutique(?)… front area was. The ladies at the front desk were extremely polite and knowledgeable. For my consult I spoke with Scott and showed him my concept. In only a few minutes he understood what I was looking for, simply said it would be “no problem” and I was set up for the next day to get it done. The next day we got started early and Scott was ready to go. He had a stencil worked up and asked for my approval. I liked what he had done with the concept and we got started. When we got back to the studio area I noticed that it was very clean and set up so that each stable (it has a barn style door) was very private, which I’m sure comes in handy for tattooing those sensitive areas… I am extremely pleased with what Scott worked out for me. Our collaboration worked out great and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. It turned out even better than I had imagined it would. The price was extremely fair and the end results were amazing. The only down side is that I’m moving shortly and now that I know what Scott and Trilogy can do I wish I had time to get the rest of my backlog of tattoos completed. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and will hopefully have a chance to work with them again. Don’t let the mall throw you off. When you step inside you’ll realize how brilliant it really is.

Mari Linkous

I walked in with hopes to get the other half of my forearm done to complete my half sleeve. I've been told i would have to set an apointment, and this shop is pretty much booked till September. And i really didnt want to wait that long considering tomorrow is my birthday. I was thinking I'd go with olivia bright because I've seen her work, and she's incredible. But she is more on the watercolors and grey scale, and I was looking for vibrant colors. She directed me to Mike French, who sat down and told me immediately he could do it. He seemed super humble, which made me comfortable with him. He drew up exactly what I wanted, and he went right to work. This tattoo was for my grandfather, who passed and it meant alot to have him do such an amazing job. His lines, on point. And color, pops! I'd definitely recommend this shop, and Mike French. Amazing work. And the people who work there are incredibly friendly, great atmosphere.

Nicole Gerrard

I got my 3rd tattoo here yesterday. I had a great experience. The front staff are very friendly, my artist (Scott Kingan) was friendly as well. I felt 100% comfortable the whole time (and im very socially awkward) and got an amazing piece of art. Scott helped me with what i wanted. My original choice would not have worked well with how small i wanted so i changed it up. I appreciate that he cared enough for ME to be happy with what i got. The owner even interacted with me a lot through the process as well. I would most definitely recommend Trilogy to anyone asking for a great place with great artists.

Sarah Rieke

I received my first tattoo last week and was very pleased with my experience at Trinity Tattoo. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the artist was very accommodating and worked carefully to ensure the results were exactly how I pictured them to be. If another tattoo is in my future I can see myself going there again.

Cabria Cousins

I will be honest, this is THE PLACE to come get a tattoo if you are in the Virginia Beach area. Even if you aren't, COME HERE. I have been here multiple times for tattoos, and each time, the staff are nothing but nice and welcoming. The artists are amazing, and willing to work with you to make sure you get the art that you really want. Before I came to this place, having a tattoo really didn't matter. I can't stress enough how happy, giddy, and excited I am to get more tattoos, now that I have found this place!!

Mandy V

From start to finish the staff was helpful and nice. This visit was me getting my very first tattoo and honestly I definitely will plan to get more done from here. I am beyond pleased with my visit and the work.

Alex Crain

I'm from Fredericksburg, VA and I couldn't find any decent shops where I live. I visit this area every few months so I started looking here. I used the Google reviews to find this place and was immediately interested because almost every single view was 5 stars. My artist was Mike Aragon and he was the best artist I've ever worked with. Not only did he agree to tattoo me on his day off so that I could get it done in time before I had to go back home, but he also worked with my budget and listened to everything I wanted Incorporated into my tattoo. He even tweaked it a bit with my permission and I loved his drawing even more than the one I gave him to use. The lines are sharp and clean and the colors are bold and saturated. I can't wait to get another tattoo with Mike! This is my new shop to call home and Mike is my go to artist forever! Definitely give Trinity and Trilogy Tattoo a shot.

Savanna Cowling

I got a tattoo by Olivia Mackling at The Collective and it was an awesome experience. She takes the time to get to know you as a client and make sure you are both on the same page about what you want. This studio is very professional and I would 100% go back for my next tattoo!

Jeremy Smith

Josh Frye is a beast. He started my tattoo a year ago and then I got deployed. We have one session left and it is easily my best tattoo so far. He will be my artist from here on out. Also, the ladies I have dealt with at the front desk are always polite and helpful. Great place.

Timothy Kay

Had a great experience at trilogy. Casey did a great job translating my idea into a great piece. Clean and upscale shop, and the staff was cool and helpful. Dave took time to chat while Casey was busy with others and once Casey started he was awesome. Great work, good pricing as well. I will go back.

Olivia Sutton

AWESOME! One of my friends and I were visiting VA and on spur of the moment decided to get piercings, I got my septum pierced and she got her nose pierced. Ryan and his apprentice Sarah were our piercers. The place was very clean, Ryan definitely knew his stuff and was able to tell us everything about the care of our piercings and how he was piercing it. The prices are very affordable! I know for sure that if I find myself in VA Beach again I am definitely coming back

Eric Martin

Amazing experience! I was able to get tattooed by Linsey and she was wonderful! The attention to detail just blew me away with the finished product. Will definitely be going back to her for my next one.

Brandon Case

I had Chad as my artist, and I can say that I wouldn’t have had it any other way! It being my first tattoo I was nervous, but he took all that away immediately. Calm, cool and collected he designed my already picked out tattoo and made it more me. Shoutout to all the other employees too, but Chad was an amazing, laid back artist, and I highly recommend him.

Carla R Cannon-Lawrence

Coming here was a great experience. The girl at the front desk was very nice & comical. We met Scott & he was a great as well!! He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional & does great work!!!! He did a cover up for a friend & did great! I love that he didn't talk a lot. He was all about his work. He was worth the wait!

Jeannie Lowe

Thanks to Dave and everybody at Trinity Tattoo. I had a wonderful experience from the time I walked in the door for my first tattoo. I didn't know what to expect but the welcoming and professional environment definitely helped my nerves. I absolutely love my little turtle and will definitely go back for more work next time I'm in town.

Brandon Jesse

Trinity is an amazing, clean studio with great artists! I got my first tattoo from Dave and he really worked with me to come up with a great original tattoo. I ended up getting a half sleeve and can't wait for the next one from Trinity. My wife has also gotten two small tattoos from Trinity and loves them as well.

Shane Popelka

Ryan Mallory was the perfect artist to do my tattoo. He was very professional, clean, and courteous. We talked the design over and he gave me an idea of what it was going to look like. Everything went smoothly and would definitely go back again for another!

Speed From The Heart

Literally, my friends and I walked in and left with piercing. It was the four of us, they did our peicings quick, they were SUPER nice and made sure we were contable. If you want a good experience for first time piercers, or just want a nice piercing or tattoo. Go to them. I promise you, You Will Not Regrat It!!!

Patti Hanselman

I was a first timer to the tattoo world and now I can't imagine what took me so long. This studio and Dave Lukeson made the experience so amazing! He is an incredible artist who works with his clients to create a design that is truly a collaboration. The atmosphere is comfortable and the staff were so welcoming. If you are considering your first tattoo or you are an old pro at this......go to this studio! Give them a call or stop by.....and be prepared to live your dream. Just do it! do it! do it!

Nicole Aube

This place is just amazing! Their customer service is awesome! They really care about their clients and the quality of their work. Everyone in the shop was super friendly and welcoming! I was so impressed with my experience there. I would highly recommend Trilogy, especially to people that feel like sometimes shops and their artists can be intimidating. This place was far from that! And my tattoo looks fabulous! Definitely worth the wait!

Iris Galante

My friend and I recently came in for a walk in and were lucky enough to get tattoos from Clay Thames! He is an incredible artist and he is very patient to help create the best possible design for each of us. We left with genuine pieces of art and we could not be happier!

Robert Ratliff

Customer service and work ethic!! After being let down by another tattoo shop in the area this place was a breath of fresh air. Very friendly and professional staff. Some of the other tattoo shops I have been to acted like I was inconveniencing them to pay them to do work. I have had work done all over the world and hands down Trilogy has my vote as the best along with my artist Anthony French, a youngish dude with an old soul.

Crystal Clifton

My dad suddenly passed away on Valentine's Day from a massive heart attack so my mom, my brother, my sister in law, and myself decided to get memorial tattoos for him. We were referred to Trinity Tattoo and it was the best decision! Tony did our tattoos and they are all amazing! The shop is so neat and clean and all of the staff are so nice and helpful! We will definitely be coming back to Trinity Tattoo for other tattoos! Thank you to everyone for a great experience!

Rachel Rudiger (Rudibega)

Got pierced by Sarah. She did an amazing job of explaining how she was going to pierce and why she did it that way. Very clean environment and I watched her open the needles in front of me. She is great for conversation too which was appreciated because I was very nervous. I'm very happy with my new shinies.

Tranquilizer (Tranquilizer)

I just called for advice about a concern with my ear piercing that ripped out of my ear yesterday. A woman named Savannah answered the phone and gave me awesome advice! She said she would help me out and was really professional about her job; I could tell that she cared about me and my ear. I am super happy that I called this place.

Ashley Spann

Very experienced and professional staff. Slightly on the expensive side. We weren't really happy that the staff seemed so offended about our well behaved children being in the waiting area. We went for a quick piercing when a dear friend was moving to commemorate our friendship. My husband is deployed so unfortunately we didnt have much of a choice but to bring him along. It was just an ear piercing so we didnt think it would be a problem.

Kami Powell

OUSTANDING ARTWORK AND CUSTOMER SERVICE! Just got my first tattoo today. Matt Clarke at Trinity Tattoo on Bonney rd was my artist. He did and amazing lotus flower with dragon flys and grey mist. When talking to him about what I was looking for he was very attentive and listened to what I wanted. As well as adding some great details that I LOVE! Everything was very clean. Everyone there made you feel welcomed. I am beyond satisfied with my experience and my tattoo. I WILL NEVER go to another place or artist! Check out MATT CLARKE! HE'S AN INCREDIBLE ARTIST!

Jeremy Phelps

Bennett is an amazing artist. He took his time and pays attention to detail. I was apprehensive at first since it was my first tattoo but Bennett thoroughly explained the process and helped me to feel at ease. I am already looking for an idea on a second tattoo and will recommend Bennett at Trinity Tattoo. Thank you very much and look forward to seeing everyone next time.

Jessie R. Morgan

I had an awesome experience with Trinity! From the moment I walked into the door, until the time I walked out with my awesome tattoo, all staff were friendly, knowledgeable and really catered to me. Jamie Cary truly captured the exact tattoo I had imagined! Thank you to y'all for excellent service:). I'll be referring my friends to Trinity!

Paris Freeman

Artist and staff are great. Joe was my artist for my sleeve. I highly recommend him especially for big projects. Dave the owner is awesome to. If you want to get art work done trilogy is the place to go.

Nope Nope

Got my conch and tragus pierced the same day here, both are doing extremely well! I was visiting from DC and plan to come back for more piercings the next time I'm in town. I was treated with respect, the facility is very clean and has a really nice atmosphere. The piercer I had was really cool and I barely felt a thing when I got pierced.

Krystle Hohorst

Awesome atmosphere, from the girls at the counter to all of the artists. I've never felt more comfortable in a shop. Clay was my artist and he was amazing. He did a great job on my tattoo and was so professional and down to earth.

Megan

I absolutely love this place. From the moment I walked in the atmosphere was fantastic. I told them the days I was available to see if they had anything open and luckily for me Jamie was available. He did such an incredible job on my tattoo, exceeding my expectations by a long shot. I would definitely recommend and then some. Absolutely going back for another.

Julie Vaughan

From tattoos to body piercings, you'll be in excellent hands! Joe did a beautiful tattoo for me today, he also did 3 other beautiful tattoos for my daughter's 18th b'day today. He's amazing! Kristy has done beautiful piercings for my daughter and me as well. Excellent customer service and cool talented people. ❤

Caroline Dalton

Sean Green is the best artist! Diverse and extremely talented. I have done 4 sessions with him and have 3 more booked. The ladies in the office are fantastic! They never let me down. The owner is very hands on and totally rocks. I won't go anywhere else!

Sarah Mosteirin

From the moment I walked into Trinity Tattoo the customer service exceeded my expectations. The ladies at the front desk were very welcoming, kind and knowledgable about their artists. They suggested I speak with Jamie Cary about my tattoo. He had a lot of insight to my vision and was able to give me his artistic expertise to bring my vision to life. Jamie was very kind and considerate through out the entire tattoo. I was blown away by the detail he incorporated into my tattoo. He was able to bring my vision to life in a way I never imagined. I facility was clean, eclectic and welcoming. Jamie Cary and Trinity tattoo made my experience so enjoyable that I will only go to Jamie for my next tattoo. I highly recommend Jamie Cary and Trinity tattoo for your next tattoo!

I love it! I just got a tattoo here and I'm so happy I went here! These people are so nice and so professional. Best experience ever! I will recommend Joe or Ryan to anyone. I had Ryan and my husband had Joe. Well worth the money! We couldn't be any happier with our tattoos.

Nicole N.

Got my first tattoo here last week. Mike Aragon was the artist and he did a fantastic job. I was nervous, he put me at ease, and that tattoo turned out great, been getting compliments everywhere I go. Will definitely come back.

Avery Valen

Visited Trilogy for my very first tattoo this past weekend and I am very happy with this shop. I walked in, told them what I was looking for and I was seen by an artist within five minutes without an appointment. He came out with something already drawn up, he worked with me as I tried to see if I could tweek his drawing, but ended up going with what he originally drew up. My artist was Joe Carter who was polite and extremely honest about the art, gauging what would look good and what wouldn’t.

Skylar Paige

Sarah is absolutely amazing! She was super sweet/funny and made the whole process much more comfortable. Got my conch pierced by her and it was super quick and surprisingly wasn’t painful. Super happy to have finally found a great piercer! Will definitely be getting more done by her.

Whintur Thames

I went to get a daith piercing to try and help my migraines. The customer service was out of this world amazing! I was really nervous, I don't do well with piercings. They really made me feel safe and the guy knew his stuff! I will use them if I ever need another piercing no second thought about it. Lots of choices in jewelry too, in a variety of price options to fit everyone's budget.

Trinity Tattoo in Virginia Beach has become my new home for getting my tattoos done. I'm in the military, from New York and have had the privilege to get tattooed by amazing artists in New York, Texas, and now Virginia. I must say that Trinity has given me the best experience yet. My best friend Connie introduced me to Mr. Sean Green and Trinity about 6 months ago. From the moment I stepped foot in the building, I knew this was where I was going to go for tattoos. It is the cleanest tattoo studio I've ever seen and always smells amazing. The Ninjas are all outstanding. I work in customer service in health care, and most of any kind of business is pleasing the customer and making the customer feel good. The Ninjas do all that and more. Sean is one of many talented and dedicated artists at Trinity. After I saw the work he did on my best friend and looked through his style of work, I knew he was the right artist for me. After a few sessions, I didn’t think the experience could get any better, but it just did. During and after my most recent session with Sean, he used this skin care product called "Ram Jam." Now usually, artists are more prone to using "tattoo only" related products that are solely made for healing tattoos. To my surprise, Sean opened my eyes to an amazing product called Ram Jam which has multiple uses. One of them being tattoos. You can also use it to lotion your body, which I could gladly do everyday. From the moment he opened the jar, the beautiful smell of lavender just fills you with calmness. As some of you may know, lavender is very often used at spas during massages and many use lavender essential oils in their homes. Upon applying it to my freshly tattooed skin, the texture of it felt like no other product used before. It was not thick and "goopie" like many I've used before. It immediately took the burning feeling away and it stayed away for the first time ever. I've had over 30 hours of tattoo work done, and this was definitely a first. The healing process has decreased in time. In just under 24 hours, my skin wasn't red and swollen like it usually is. In conclusion, if I could rate Trinity, the artists, the Ninjas and this new product Ram Jam 10 stars, I would. Thank you for all that you do for the Tattoo community. You not only make customers feel satisfied, but also strive to make this about an entire experience, much more than just a trip to get some ink. Sincerely, Elena Hutchison. THANK YOU!!!

Cloe Thomas

My step sister and I went to go get a couple piercings and the people were so nice and helped you with any questions! We had Ryan as our piercer, and he did an amazing job! We will definitely be going back there for another visit!

Tessa Duncan

Everyone at the studio was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I decided to get my nose pierced at Trilogy, and I was impressed at how fast and easy the entire process was. Ryan, the piercer, got me in and out quickly, but took time to answer any and all questions I had. I recommend Trilogy for anyone thinking about getting a tattoo or piercing.

Melinda Thompson

My sister-in-law and I scheduled to have our tattoos done with Sean. The staff is friendly and helpful. The shop is gorgeous and pristine and the rooms are private. The artists are talented. Sean killed it! I'm in love with my latest tattoo! Best in the area for sure!

MYA AVERY

I got a tattoo of my children's names on my arm. It was done within 10 mins, and I really was unhappy with how it had turned out. I went back and expressed how I wanted it to be evened out. The owner Dave came out, and assured me that it would be taken care of. His wife set up an appointment for me with Dave, he spent and hour & a half. It looks perfect now, I am so happy with how it turned out. Thank you!

MARIENN MARTINO

Absolutely love this shop! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The shop is welcoming and clean! I've been pierced and inked here and completely trust the piercers and artists. I trust them to the point that my daughters were pierced here when they were under 18 and then inked here once they turned 18.

Jessilyn Gray

This place is amazing! I've had a few bad tattoo experiences and I was a little worried about walking into trinity today. I went in on a very bad day I had just found out an hour before that my best friend had died. We had planned to get the tattoo that I got today together this summer but now because that will never happen I decided to get it in loving memory of him. I went in and everyone was wonderful! The girls up front couldn't have been sweeter to me and when I went to got tattooed my artist was amazing stopping when I needed him to, had me laughing and kept telling me that I was doing a great job because of the placement on my ankle he even told me that he hoped my new tattoo helped me heal. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

Eric Jimenez

Went for piercings. Their aftercare products are very good quality, facility was clean and the piercer was professional and provided most of the information I needed. They wanted me to wait twice as long to change my piercings and then what other shops suggest. I guess being overly cautious is better than meaning reckless. Overall a great experience.

Richard Carson

I don't know what happened to most of Trinity Tattoo's one star reviews. They have several five star reviews, but its outstanding one stars were priceless. Unfortunately, these literary masterpieces were deleted for some reason, so I am summarizing them below in the hopes that they help you make an informed decision. 1 - The first one star review was an angry rant about who Trinity Tattoo will tattoo, being too open to the public. "It reminds me of when yuppies started riding around on Harleys!" The solution to this problem is obvious. Trinity Tattoo should only admit those who enter with a valid Hell's Angels membership. 2 - The next one star claimed Trinity Tattoo's staff was rude, harassing the couple for spending a very long time in the bathroom together. While the staff may feel the bathroom is not the love shack, I believe the public has spoken on this one. 3 - The third one star was from someone upset about ink being watered down at all, writing "Give me the real ink!" Maybe someone will go to Trinity for a tattoo comparable to a good painting, but for me and this one star reviewer, we'll take a large blob of ink to go. 4 - The last and most decisive one star was a long rant about how expensive Trinity Tattoo is. After reading this last review, I soon learned the tattoo artists charging $125.00 an hour are booked to about 5-7 months out. If you took economics before, or even if you haven't, you should realize what this means. If demand for their artists goes down a lot, I will agree the price might be too high and the company may need to lower them or close, but as of right now, Trinity Tattoo isn't charging enough.

Matthew Gilek

Very awesome and friendly staff. They're professionals and very talented. Went into Triology for my first tattoo, I had a general idea of what I wanted but wasn't completely sure how it would look. Made an opointmemt with Joe and he drew it up and it turned out amazing. Going back for my next tattoo very soon!

Ashley Tsu

Liv is an AMAZING tattoo artist- her line work and overall skills are the best I’ve ever seen. I was extreme lucky to get in with her off of her call list. I would recommend her to ANYONE and EVERYONE.

Connie Lindsey

Every time that I have gone to Trinity Tattoo, I have had an amazing experience. I have 4 pieces done so far by Sean Green!! His art work is amazing and I will continue going there. The ninjas at the front desk are always friendly and helpful!! If you want to ink I highly recommend Trinity Tattoo!!!

Danielle Wethington

Really pleased with my piercing experience. My sister (who has had many piercings done here) a friend and I all got some different ear piercings done on a whim. The place was clean, and the staff were very friendly. I would definitely return.

Haley Howerin

I've been getting spontaneous tattoos here since it was located in the mall. Me and a friend had planned on somewhere else, but the front desk people were wildly rude and told us $200 for a tiny tattoo that had zero detail. We wandered to the mall and walked in to smiling faces and kind responses with our ideas, and we were sold. I've gotten at least 5 tattoos here, and always on a walk-in day. I've gotten to the point that when I was there this past Sunday I told Joe he could do whatever as long as they look like flowers. 😂 I can't speak for people who plan things out and set up appointments, but if you wanna live life like me, this is the place.

Emily Orr

Walked in with one tattoo in mind but after consulting with an artist decided that it would need to be a little bigger in order to get clean detail, I'm really glad that he (Scott) was honest and didn't just say "yeah I'll do that" and have it end up bleeding in a few months! Ended up getting a different piece and am MORE than happy with it!!! My artist (Ryan) went above and beyond and gave me even more than I had hoped for. The work was done expediently and was well priced! Every member of the staff was kind, knowledgeable and honest! The owner even sat in on my session for a bit and chatted with me. What amazing service!!! Will definitely recommend and return for future work!

Katherine G

I took my 15 year old son in to get his ear pierced. He was a little nervous, but the staff members put him at ease and the whole process did not take long at all. The piercer, Ryan, did an excellent job. I can't recommend this store enough!

Tim Figallo

Best tattoo shop I've been to. Great tattoo artists and very professional staff. The appointment process was super fast and efficient. I got all 4 of my appointments scheduled in just a couple minutes. Draya rocks!

Briana Thomas

Went Into Trinity Tattoo the other day for my first tattoo and I loved it.Everyone there was friendly and amazing , the lady at the front desk held a conversation with me and my friend and made me feel at ease. This was not my first choice however, but after being told that no one could get me in at another shop that day I decided to look around and find somewhere else to go & I'm glad I decided to go here ! We called in asking if they could fit me in and was told yes that Jamie had a spot open & to come in and talk to him. Jamie was more then willing to work with me & what I wanted, he did a great job on my tattoo and I'm in love with it . I will be going back to Trinity Tattoo & to Jamie for my future ones!! . Everyone's vibes there were great and I recommend that you go here

Aaron “A.J.” Dobbins Jr.

Jon C is my artist and this was my first tatt from him. Glad he talked me out of the Harley logo I was going to get and he hooked me up with some great 80's biker style art. Excellent work especially since I'm black and have darker skin...rare to find a artist that can do all skin tones and do them at a high level consistantly. Shade work was so good a few people asked me if he used color and he only used black. Big ups trinity!!!! - Got my second tattoo from my dude Jon C...as expected more than exceeded my expectations. This one was a custom drawn tatt and it was spot on keeping with my reaper theme. Go see him people...he's the truth.

AudreyTillisforreal

So yeah, this tattoo/ piercing shop was definitely not as nice, polite or timely as the reviews I read said. I was a walk in today, was greeted and asked to wait until it was my turn. My spouse and I sat and waited for abt 5 minutes until the front desk attendant returned. She came back and started helping new patrons so I waited a few more minutes. After we made eye contact, she checked me in and was quit pleasant. I chose my piercing and checked in with her then I waited abt 20 minutes after that. The guy who pierced my nose barely spoke to me and even started a conversation over me while I was in the middle of speaking. Seemed busy or rude. It was in fact quick with minimal pain. I won’t be back but I’m not nervous of infection. We’ll see.

Jolynn Gonzales

I scheduled my appointment with kristy and she did a great job. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I would definitely recommend her for ur piercing.

Arlene Ayala

Joey_no_needles has so much talent! I love my tattoo and will definitely come back for more. If u want good quality tattoos with badass artists I recommend this place!!! Joey is a beast with scripture ! You won’t be disappointed

David Ingersoll

The entire staff at Trinity Tattoo was awesome and very professional. The whole experience was great. I had an idea of want I wanted and Rama Bass brought the idea to a whole new level. He took his time drawing everything up and tattooing. It was a crazy long seesion (9 hours) and i never felt rushed. I can't wait to get back from deployment to get back in there. Thanks rama and trinity.

Steve Jett

Well for my wife's birthday, we spent most of the day at Trinity.......I had to cancel several appointments and it just so happened to get rescheduled on her 'special day'. Mine is a memorial for my Mother and was my first tattoo. Still have some to to add at a later date....probably in February. Micheal Aragon did an awesome job for me & I couldn't have asked for any better result or experience. My wife got our daughter's initials on her wrist and is very pleased with the outcome.... Jamie Cary did a great job in helping her decide style & size and provided her a really nice, clean and classy piece. The 'Desk Ninja's'; Kara and Kimberly we're extremely helpful and a pleasure to deal with. I'd highly recommend! THANK YOU for an awesome day !

Rodriquez Spurgeon

Nicest and best quality tattoo I've ever had! Very clean and professional. The artists are all very down to Earth and take pride in their crafts. I can't wait to go back! You have to experience it for yourself.

nate verkus

Just got my first tattoo done with Chad, and oh my god,. 10/10. I highly recommend this place and all of their artists, they are all very talented. Chad made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process, and was very enjoyable to be around. I will be coming back for more tattoos from here!! Also they do piercings so if you're into that check it out!!

Justin Eckert

I can't speak for the tattoo artists here, but I got my septum pierced here and my tongue at trilogy (before they moved here) and have been very satisfied with both. Decent pricing, knowledgable staff and relatively quick turnaround. I'll keep coming here for piercings

Amanda chadwick

I came in with an idea of what I wanted. Nothing too specific. Wildflowers. A mushroom. Just below the elbow crease on my arm. But that’s not exactly a simple request to an artist. I was embarrassed at my lack of preparation. I was concerned that it wouldn’t come out as I imagined, but what exactly was I imagining the outcome to be anyway? I didn’t know. My artist, Michael Lukeson brought out a sketch. I asked him to tweak a few things, he did. We settled on a final piece and he got to work. We talked the entire time, And it was a very comfortable environment to be in. When he was done, the outcome of the tattoo I received completely exceeded any expectations I had when I walked through that door. He knew what I wanted based off of a vague description of wildflowers and a placement, and he executed it perfectly. I couldn’t be happier with the tattoo and service I received at The Collective Tattoo & Body Piercing and would recommend that anyone else looking for quality artists, comfortable environment and more than fair pricing, to go to The Collective Tattoo and I personally recommend Michael Lukeson as an artist! He delivered exactly what I wanted and more! I will be back in the future! - Frozen

Arvin Sansom

I went to Trinity as a walk in on short notice. My wife had gotten two tattoos here previously and she had nothing but positive things to say. I got two tattoos my 15th and 16th a pig and rooster atop of my feet. I brought in some ideas with me and met with Nikki, I expressed that I wanted her to expand on the ideas I had provided and use her artistic expertise to come up with something I would like. She was awesome she drew up something and I was impressed. The experience was short of amazing! Nikki is an excellent artist and the whole shop was great. I have been getting tattoos for 18 years and Trinity is the cleanest and most professional shop I have ever been to. I intend to get a lot more work done here in the future. Thanks Nikki!

Amanda Saukas

Went in for a walk in tattoo around 11am, got on the waitlist, and was inked up before dinner time.. each staff member I encountered was so nice.. the environment of the shop was very unique and nice, also clean! I absolutely love my new tattoo and I am so glad I went to Trilogy!!

Calvin McQuain

I’ve been to the Collective on a few occasions and each time they have taken care of me like family. I was lucky enough to get this ink by Michael. All around great place and amazing artists 🤙 (The coin) …

Danielle Dzvonick

Absolutely a 5 star review! From the phone call to ask a question, to the warm welcome when entering, a very clean and organized environment, and an excellent tattoo artist (Michael) - I highly recommend The Collective Tattoo! Great customer service, great artists, and clean!!!

Bare Peach

I went in with my Stepmom yesterday so she could get my late father’s name tattooed on her forearm. Michael came out with a piece already sketched out and it was perfect! This is such a meaningful piece for my stepmom and Michael did a phenomenal job. He took his time and was a perfectionist. That’s exactly what I’d want when getting a tattoo, someone who cared just as much about the piece as I did. And on top of it, he was excited to give my Stepmom this tattoo. Thanks again Michael!

Ellysse Huston

I have gotten two separate tattoos from them. Staff is amazing, super personable and down to earth. They truly care about you as a client and want you to feel at home with them. I will continue to recommend them to friends and family

Jada Windham

Trinity Tattoo is part studio part parlor but it's all about art. Customer service is top notch, everything is clean & inviting. Owner & award-winning artist Dave Lukeson is the coolest, realest down-to-earth guy! He set me up with Matti who did an amazing job on my tattoo--AND that was just on the outline! I go back for color today & can't wait to see the finished product. Any tattoo parlor can give u a generic stamp on your bod but if you want real artwork on your canvas, TT is the only place to go! I would and have recommended this place to friends and would award it 5 stars easily. Thanks Trinity Tattoo!

Taylor-Jane John

I just got a simple line tattoo and a monroe piercing in one go and the staff there was so incredibly kind! They had drinks available and a great music selection playing. Everything was sterilized and the pain was nothing at all. Thank you guys so much for the modifications, I will definitely be recommending you!

Austin “Ingwer” Custer

At first impression, the folks at trilogy come off as intimidating. However, this can't be further from the truth. Everyone there is incredible friendly, helpful, and respectful. I had a 5 hour session with John Thiel and he did an amazing job. A few of the other artists came in and complimented my design along with the owner, who chatted with me a bit and made sure I was being taken care of. The store itself is clean, the artists take deligent care to maintain a steril enviroment, and every single one does incredible work of various styles. I have found my new shop and will be coming back for my next tattoos.

adrienne kruse

WOW! AMAZING! Tommy’s work left me absolutely speechless, and for anyone who know me, that’s a hard thing to do. I met Tommy at an expo in Asheville, NC and when I looked through his portfolio I just knew the he HAD to do a specific tattoo that I had been wanting. He took a lot of time going over what I wanted with me. I had originally wanted a small watercolor on my wrist but instead of just doing what I said he, as an artist, basically said no, it won’t work that small. I finally decided to do it on my back and when I came in the next day it was larger than I had imagined. With a “go big or go home” attitude I put my faith in Tommy and I am so glad I did. The finished product far exceeded my expectations. How he made a painting come to life on my skin is pure magic (and skill). If you are in the market for a watercolor tattoo Tommy is definitely your artist! When I finally was able to take the bandage off and showed my three year old daughter she took in a deep breath of excitement and said “wow mommy, how pretty!” You don’t get a better review than that! I also want to mention that Tommy and his wife Chrystal were some of the kindest people I have met. They both went above and beyond to put me at ease with the process. (I was a bit of a hot mess before he started as this is only my second tattoo). I cannot wait to travel to VA Beach and have him make my next vision come to life!

Chris Fenrir

Absolutely amazing staff, Jules did my tattoo and I love it so much. So accomidating to my needs and wants as a customer. I also got to meet the owner who was also great. I will definitely be going back.

Valeria Martinez

I am so glad I chose Mike Aragon to take my tattoo virginity away! In all seriousness I was pretty nervous about my first tattoo given the fact that it was a shoulder to shoulder back piece. Mike not only came up with a pretty dope design he did a great job too, we took brakes when we needed them and he tried to make it as painless as possible. The tattoo turned out to be pretty badass, it was exactly what I expected. Welcome to Va Mike! You are an amazing artist. The staff is very friendly, the girls at the desk are hot. I will definitely be coming back soon :)

H Harris

I wanted to get my eyebrows done and didnt want to look like a freek. All these nail places says they can do them. I saw some work and well no I was not going to lok like that. I found Dave Lukeson THANK GOD! He is an artist! I love my eyebrows they look real it is crazy how good they look. I am so happy and it was so worth the money. Now I have serveral family members going to him. The staff is very nice and make you feel at home. Dave has years of experience, he listens and cares and most important he keeps a very very clean place. Ladies if you want permanent make up definitely go to Dave it also will last longer then if you go to a nail salon. I am so happy!

Chauntel Bercaw

I love this place! Everyone is great, super friendly and the place is welcoming and makes you feel comfortable! Beck is so talented he will be only only tattoo artist ever! The owners are TOP NOTCH people and have a fine establishment....from tattoos to piercings to animal crackers 💯💯 …

Eric Makovsky

The ONLY place to go! Joe is a phenomenal artist who turned my stick-figure 101 concept into a thing of beauty. Dave and his entire staff made my first ink experience a pleasure. He even took time to talk with me while getting the work done, which really helped me take my mind off the process. First rate in every way.
