This shop is wonderful! I went in on Halloween to get my septum pierced. They were insanely busy, but everyone was super polite and friendly! Even though they were busy the wait wasnt very long. My piercer was very patient and kind to me even though I was nervous. She explained the process to me and took her time. I felt very comfortable and happy here and will be returning for any piercing I get! ❤️

V is an excellent, friendly piercer who didnt mind me yelling during my industrial piercing. Shes done four of my ear lobes and a nose ring, all were done quick, and dont hurt at all, and Ive had no issues with healing! The receptionist is wonderful too, absolutely love this place and, V, Im sorry but Im going to get a bunch more piercings done by you!! Sorry for yelling, but if you got zero pain tolerance but love piercings, V is your girl!!

This is my 2nd piercing at Artisan. The receptionist are always professional and very attentive to their guests. They give you forms to sign, let you pick out your jewelry and escort you to the back. I have never had to wait more 20 mins to get a piercing. The artists are super dope and patient. Love the prices.

I went last week to get my tongue redone. the front desk women was very helpful and friendly! The place just has a nice vibe. I went to the bathroom and every artist that wasn’t busy said hey to me or nodded in my direction to acknowledge me. The piercer was extremely nice. She was making sure i was comfortable and was ready for my next piercing before continuing. I recommend this place to everyone and will continue going!

I just got my conch pierced today. I didnt catch my piercers name, and I really wish I did. She was amazing. Ive gotten piercings done by a few different people, but she was the only one who took the time to thoroughly explain to me the proper way to care for the piercing and what happens in the healing process and why its important not to change my piercing too early. No one has ever explained this in detail to me. I didnt feel rushed even though there were several people waiting behind me. It was a very quick and easy process. I didnt feel any pain. This was my first time here, but it definitely wont be my last.

Loved the lady who did my piercings! Very friendly and non judgmental environment. It was quick and easy and she was very efficient and kind. Will definitely go back to her again for more piercings and maybefor some tats!!!!

I got a tattoo with my friends during my vacation at Virginia Beach. I got my septum pierced and I got 2 tattoos. I have several tattoos and I know proper tattoo care and I even followed the specific instructions my tattoo artist gave me on how to take care of the ones I received from her. It has been less than a week and my tattoo has not healed properly. I know it may take longer than a week to heal however my tattoo looks more like a burn than a tattoo. My septum turned out amazing, but my tattoos are not very good at all. I got a small heart behind my ear and it looks like I got branded rather than a tattoo.

Just had Shawn do my 9th and 10th tattoos. As always professional and the line work is perfect. Hes done all 10 of my tattoos and my husbands. Highly recommend and very reasonable pricing compared to other shops for same size tattoos. Here are the last 2 tattoos I had done. Will be getting more.

The employees here are very nice, and knowledgeable about what theyre doing. They were patient and gentle, friendly, helpful. I had an emergency need to have a piercing put back in, and Im glad I came here. I cant say enough good things, and I will definitely be back! Thank you, Artisan!

Im very happy with the piercing I got at this shop. It was very clean and it only took a few seconds. Everyone there was very polite and new what they were talking about so it got done fast.

Best shop in the Hampton Roads area. Came here to get my nostril pierced and my wife got her septum pierced. V is hands down the best piercer my wife and I have come across and highly recommend her, although all the piercers we’ve met here have been wonderful. We recommend this shop to all our friends and none of them have had a bad experience.(For people leaving 1 star reviews because your piercing didn’t heal properly or you didn’t have an ID for your 16 year old - grow up. Call the shop back for help with healing instead of complaining online.)Thank you V!!

Kat and everyone are professionals.they listen to what you want and make suggestions to your tattoo design and do excellent piercings, especially by V.your go to shop for piercings and tattoos

I had a 2:30 appointment scheduled with a tattooist. I called at 12:30 to see if it would be possible to come in at 1:30, was told the artist was with a client it would be best to keep the 2:30 appointment. I show up at 2:25 to find a sign on the front door stating they are closed for break and will be back at 3:30. I called the shop again at 2:30 and 2:45 with no answer. I am so very upset as I really want another tattoo and thought, based on rave reviews, that I had found a good spot. How unprofessional...you have appointments scheduled and you close without calling SCHEDULED clients. Back to the search for me.

I had a great experience at this shop I got my eyebrow piercing done I’m looking forward to getting my septum done next time I come back they are very professional make sure your comfortable before you get your piercing they are very patient with you and the wait time WASNT long at all they got to me as soon as I turned my form in I highly recommend this shop to everybody

I got a tattoo done recently I was happy that I could get in and out quickly but looking at it now my tattoo is rather uneven and there is a black bubble beneath my skin that I have yet to figure out what it is and if it will go away I most likely will not get another tattoo here but from what I was told it was a really good spot not only that but after asking around many people told me I was overcharged on how small of a tattoo I got. After signing everything the tattoo artist did not see the paper and was not told that I was allergic to the latex gloves they were wearing before I said something upon realizing it. I don’t want to be rude or seem that way they just didn’t meet the expectations I had in mind especially with how good some of the reviews are.

My sister & I got our belly pierced here last year & staff was friendly and informative a few months later brought my 16 year old to get hers done and it was a great experience and her i am again to get my second hole in my ear and still the staff is so fun and friendly very patient and can answer your questions so easily. I love coming here

Changing my original review. Neither of these piercings would heal, no matter what I did for them. I cleaned them properly, barely knocked them when touching my hair. I took care of them properly. Went to Folk City to get them removed after having them for about 4 months. She took one look at them and told me the jewelry they used for both piercings was incorrect and they wouldnt have healed properly. They were still open wounds and has not healed since the day I got them. Thankfully they didnt get infected, and healed up nicely in about a week or 2 of not having them in.Would NOT recommend going to this place.

The front desk receptionist with the locs was rude. I came in here for a piercings with my niece and her mom and she was giving is a hard time. She acted like she couldn’t understand us and made us go back and fourth to getting information. Her first request was reasonable she said that we needed a school ID for my niece. But her attitude was still rude. But we left to go get one . We came back and then she had a problem with the birth certificate. She did not want to take our copy of my niece’s birth certificate because she said it was a copy and she wanted the original. We got a picture of the original copy and she said the picture didn’t have all four corners of the birth certificate so she couldn’t take it. After that we left out of frustration.

Literally best shop I’ve ever been to. From the receptionist to the artists (tattoo and piercing) they do awesome work, have great personalities, and actually care about you. I’ve been here twice within a week just because I love the atmosphere. Will be back again for sure!

Got a tattoo done by TT recently and I want to leave a review because of the great experience- after getting the run around from a different tattoo shop, it was so nice to come here where everyone is so nice and welcoming, and I am very happy with my new art! I will definitely be coming back in the future.

Everyone was very nice and very Professional. We enjoyed our experience.

Honestly this place scared me. The front receptionist was accommodating but she made light of how nervous I was to finally get a piercing (earlobes) after 28 years. Im afraid of needles, but I finally resolved to get piercings, but the staff here are too intimidating. I made an appointment online, paid the $6 reservation fee and they didnt answer the phone or seem to know I had an appointment, they made me fill out the paperwork I submitted online again. The jewelry they have for new earlobe piercings is very limited, basically either a curved bar with metal or tiny gem beads or shiny studs with metal wingbacks . I came here because my sister, who has multiple piercings, recommended it and the receptionist seemed comfortable with her but I felt belittled and dismissed, like its a hassle to deal with a newbie, which is understandable, I have a legitimate fear of needles. This place just didnt make me feel comfortable, and Im relieved I didnt get my ears done here.

My girlfriend surprised me with a late birthday present! We got fin stabbed by a Rose! She was amazing! Will go back for any more piercings I get!

First off I want to say that EVERYONE was so friendly. Second, Justin did my tattoo & did phenomenal. The work is so clean, he took his time and really did a great job. — Drove 4 hours from NC just to come here because they are that good. I will be back, over & over again. —

I came here with my best friend to get my septum piercing done for my birthday on July 20th. Kyra at the front was super helpful and quick about everything we needed to get filled out and done to get pierced. The shop got really busy after we got there and she seemed to be handling the entire front and her piercing station while still accommodating everyone that came in. “V” pierced my septum! V immediately eased my anxiety and answered everything honestly. The process was super quick and just a pinch, didn’t hurt much at all! She had calming energy and made me feel confident after it was over. Kyra pierced my 2nd lobes for her apprenticeship and she did an amazing job as a new piercer. I love all my piercing I got here and I had an amazing experience. Definitely coming back to get more soon!

Will always go here for piercings... Staff is super friendly...would recommend making an appointment because it is always busy but also know there may be a wait even with an appointment

Love this place! Definitely my go-to for all of my tattoo and piercing needs.

Absolutely love this shop! Ive gotten multiple piercings done here. Ive had both Kyle and Kat and they are both amazing. The staff is always nice and welcoming. The online process makes it super easy and quick during these times of covid. My latest piercing was my Septum and was done by Kat i love it and this shop will be back for sure.

I had a tattoo done by Shawn today. He did amazing. I had a sternum tattoo of a sword I had been wanting for awhile. He was very nice, and communicated well. He made me feel very comfortable. He was also very attentive to the placement of my tattoo. His work was amazing! I will be coming back to Shawn! He was fun, talented, and professional!

I did my piercing with Kyle/Kat on Wednesday the 10th and she did it super fast. Um probably way too fast because the piercing came out soooo cricket. And I try to go the 15th Monday to get it fixed and today. But the shop says it’s close till friday the 19th so I just took it out. I’m so disappointed. I paid $60 and more for the cleaning rinse + left a tip and she did not even put it in right :(.

Amazing place to get piercings done. Set up an appointment, got text alerts to remind me of the appointment as well. Got there and the staff was friendly and warmly greeted us. The piercer I had was fantastic. Went in to get a old piercing redone and it was very quick and almost painless. Will be going back for further piercings.

Shawn Havron is the greatest!!! Skilled, Professional and the only artist that has done my 6 tattoos.

Were unable to do a tatoo or piercing i had. Well possibly do it he said. Wasnt really up to piercing but could do it he said. I wentsomewhere else

Kat was very helpful & nice when I thought I had an issue, very professional. Most of the staff was kind as well, especially the piercers(:

Great overall experience. Clean, friendly, & enthusiastic atmosphere. Kyle was AWESOME! He was professional, made me feel comfortable during my piercing, & he was hilarious!Thank you ❤️

I called this place and was told to arrive by 9:20 to get my piercing. I drove from near the court house in Virginia Beach and made it there before 9:20.... Once I got there the lady at front desk goes in the back and comes back and says that their piercer was gone. Why have someone waste their time coming to your place of business if you can’t make sure your staff is going to be available to render services?! I was really looking forward to leaving a great review about a great piercing instead this review.

Got my nose pierced with Kyle. It was a great experience. Quick, reasonably priced, and Kyle was very helpful, clean, and efficient. He made sure it was exactly what I wanted. Definitely recommend them!

Got me in last minute the lady up front gave me a saving grace. Props to her shes a nice person. Sorry for the inconvenience😊

Went here to get my first nose piercing over the summer, although having to bring a school id and my birth certificate was a struggle to find... considering i wasent even in school at that time, the staff were nice and very pretty! i will come back very soon for my septum ;), but it was very clean considering the corona virus had been in place! i definitely recommend coming here!

Went and got my belly piercing for my birthday a few days ago! I got pierced by V and it was a very comfortable experience! She was quick, professional, and very sweet. My piercing is doing great and I haven’t had any issues! Would definitely go back again :D

Had a great experience with Nick Vernoski today. I had a clean amazing piece done quick with amazing detail. 10/10 would recommend!

I got 2 tatoos today by Justin. And I l💞ve them! Very professional. Clean environment. Fast service.Cant wait to go back for body piercing

The staff was friendly and professional. Covid precautions were followed by clients and artists. I love the piece Shawn did for me today. Cant wait to see it healed! Highly recommend this shop.

Having hella ADHD, Im really bad at remembering to post reviews, but Artisan Body Piercing for sure deserves a 5 star. Even though they were super busy, they were really well organized with the crowd. Additionally (Im sorry I forgot your name 😔)- the front desk girl was funny, nice, and in general was wonderful to be around. Then for my piercings, Kat is FANTASTIC. Seriously. She really was thorough, quick, and an expert at what she does. She was extremely easy to talk with, and the experience was 10/10. Additionally, I really want to drive home she knows what shes doing. I got a triangle piercing and you dont want to just have just any piercer with that. Kat is the professional you want and I absolutely recommend when it comes to that type of piercing. Also Kierra made the experience enjoyable as well, and I know will be a fantastic piercer :)

I got my tattoo on October 15th. With Spidah(I think was her name). When I booked online i set it up with Kiara.I set up a consultation online and went in to talk to her about what I wanted. Took a couple days, which didnt bother me. I wasnt in a hurry. We set up a day and time, but it was cancelled (car trouble i understand). Decided on the next night, but she cancelled again. I guess she was running late and couldnt start my appointment on time and in turn would be there too late (frustrated yet still understood). Thursday the 15th finally gets there and I show up at 650 for a 7pm appointment. Took her about 30 minutes to call me back, whatever, another 30 to set up her table (thought it would be ready to go 🤷). She starts around 8. At this point Im not really mad just ready to get this masterpiece. Ha She had some equipment issues right off the bat(not her fault). I didnt give 5 stars because it still took her 5+ hrs and she was very chatty with her fellow artists but didnt seem to really want to chat with me much. I didnt leave until 130 in the morning! Which made me then question the second time she cancelled. Overall, I still LOVE the tattoo. I get a lot of compliments. If I ever decide to get another one with her ill make sure its earlier in day ha! On the plus side I could tell she was meticulous about the details (which Im sure is partly why it took so long).

The staff is friendly and helpful. I would recommend for all your piercing needs

Spent less than 10 minutes in this place and I regret every second of it. Only chose this place because my usual tattoo spot was booked and based on the reviews I thought it would be great but I honestly don’t see why they are rated so highly. I took my mother here for a tattoo as her Mother’s Day gift and they almost ruined the whole day. When we walked in, the greeting from the front desk was barely pleasant. She asked what we wanted, we let her know and she directed us to speak to TT for a consultation. Fine, no problem, right? Wrong! TT’s attitude and the way she talks to people is atrocious. We thought during a consultation we could ask questions but instead we were met with “Don’t you have access to the internet” and “my time would be better spent doing other things than this” in a very condescending tone. We did not present anyone with any attitude so we should not have been met with one. We got out of there so fast I think I left my shadow behind! I would NEVER go back to this place again and I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. Customer service is HORRIBLE and based on the few people I interacted with, they are very unprofessional. Would give it zero stars if I could.

This was my first time ever getting a body piercing (ear lobes) and the experience was amazing. Customer service was spot on and so patient with me and Kat was amazing helping me how to take care of the piercing. Totally recommend this place for those who want to get a first time piercing.

I got my 10th and 11th tattoo done by TT and I love them. TT was very awesome with me. I will be going back to see TT again really soon.

Staff was friendly and informative. They did a great job following covid guidelines. They were also very sterile. Im pleased with my piercing and my daughters piercings.

The staff was friendly, personable, and helpful. The building was clean and aesthetivally pleasing. The price was better than Im used to (piercing). Overall I was extremely happy with my visit. 10/10 and would definitely recommend.

Friendly clean and professional. But these piercings are not symmetrical -_-

Artisan is my go to shop for my piercings ! I recently got my rook and nipples pierced by Kyle . He was great and very professional! I will definitely be coming back if I want another piercing :)

I didn’t like the fact I paid $6 for a appointment at 11:15 am and didn’t get seen Tell 11:50 am.Why did I pay the $6 If it was 1st come,1st served? Custumer told me they were walk ins and Now I’m late for work for something that didn’t take no where near 4 minutes,I paid for my appointment and wish I didn’t because you guys don’t go by it or honor it and the laddie in the front desk is very rude and has a smart mouth, I guess it’s time to find a new shop .This is the second time I’ve had bad service with this shop.I don’t recommend this shop anymore I’m LATE for work smh

This place is clean, professional and friendly. I got my daith pierced by V. Im definitely coming back for my next piercing.

Very friendly fast and professional environment

Lefty did an amazing job

Got two quick piercings - nostril and cartilage. Booking online was super easy and made for quick nearly contactless service! Was able to add the second piercing upon arrival as I realized after booking that I could get two done at the same time. Nearly painless too! Good prices and an easy experience! Would definitely recommend!

Me and my daughter went in to get a matching tattoo and I was impressed! This place is super clean! Rico is amazing!!! He did awesome job!! He was so professional, clean, and funny as hell!! Will return for sure! If you want a good tattoo artist go see Rico!!

Ive been here for 3 piercings- my cartilage, nostril, and now my septum. Ive seen Kyle every time and he always does such a fantastic job. He made me feel extremely comfortable and welcome. If youre thinking about getting a piercing, this is a sign: JUST DO IT! and go here!The procedures taken for covid via booking online make the process of getting a piercing super quick and easy!

Went here here to get my nose redone after it had closed up 2 years ago. The piercer was amazing and professional. She was super quick. I have had no pain unlike the last time it was done. I will definitely be back for both my ink and jewelry. Thank you again.

Had a great experience here! Got tattooed by Shawn and it was awesome. Not only did I get a really sweet Yosemite Sam tattoo, I had a great time getting it. Super cool, friendly and just a solid dude. Good shop. Would definitely recommend 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Ive gotten so many piercings done here by V! Shes the best and makes your experience relaxing and fun! Highly recommend going here!

Artisan is awesome!The staff are fun and friendly!They do very well with nervous and veteran patrons alike. They’re reasonably priced and do great work!I’ve gotten several pierces from them and keep going back! 10/10 would recommend

Fast and quick. Nipple piercing..i got titanium cuz in past my body rejected the stainless steel. I also got the cleaning spray.

I scheduled a appointment to get my septum pierced. The person who pierced me was on schedule. She also was informative and she asked me a couple questions about whether I needed to hide it, so the placement was correct. My piercing was quick and painless.

Best piercing ever

Great place all around! clean environment & super accommodating workers. Kyle pierced my navel & third ear holes along with my friend’s, & did an amazing job. he was so knowledgeable & answered all of my friend’s questions. he made the environment super comfortable as well. we wouldn’t have had anyone or any other place do it! wish I could rate higher than 5 stars. would definitely recommend to anyone. ❤️😌

💯 % would recommend! Best place I’ve ever been too honestly, great vibes, Supper clean! I will definitely be coming back.

Very clean and professional! The staff is awesome, from the front counter to the piercer. V has done both my daughters piercings, nose and navel. She is amazing at explaining the process, aftercare, and making you feel relaxed. This will be where our whole family comes for piercings.

This shop is HANDS DOWN one of the best! They are clean, conscientious of your needs and the safety of their clients! Shawn takes his time with you and makes sure you are comfortable and happy. FIVE STARS!!

Great clean professional place..

This place is absolutely amazing i have gone there for all of my piercings.

Affordable, clean, prompt, and kind. If I decide to punch any more holes in my body, Id be happy to come back.

Got the Rook & Forward Helix, was done quick great service also 👍🏼 !

The store was very clean and friendly! The receptionist (I forget her name) was super helpful in helping me pick jewelry for my very sensitive skin! She listened to all my concerns and really helped me make decisions on my best fit. Kyle is an amazing piercer; very personable and friendly! He did a great job with my nose piercing! My stud did get messed up, all on my account only, and Kyle was readily available to see me ASAP, help me with my issues and give me advice! I would go back with anything I need! Great service!

My daughter and I have gotten pierced here, and its where we buy our body jewelry.

Shawn was great and extremely professional. He put his head down and went to work didn’t talk just tattooed which is very different from the artist at 138 who try to run up the clock. He was quick yet detailed. I loved the finished product would recommend to any one!

Very clean place, nice people

Great please love it here

Great place, love my work done by Kelly.

Was talked out of getting a tattoo i wanted because the artist was not comfortable with doing ring tattoos instead of being referred to an artist who could. Very disappointed with consultation.

I had a good experience at this shop getting my tragus pierced. It was clean and the prices were low. I waited 10 minutes max and was out. Kyle was great. The only thing I would change was that I never saw a new needle opened or sterilized. Based on the shop’s reputation and appearance, I’m sure it was. The system they have, you go back and everything is already prepared. It’s just reassuring to see the new needle opened in front of you. Would return & recommend.

My husband and I have been going to Shawn Havron for about 4 years now. Every time we get work done he is extremely clean, friendly, and knowledgeable. We refuse to go to anyone else now. He is honest with what he is thinking and does exactly what you want. I would highly recommend seeing Shawn for a tattoo!

I got a cartilage piercing and they used a curved barbell. Ive had other cartilage and lobe piercing and theyve always used a straight barbell. Im not sure if it was pierced at an angle but it hasnt been healing right even though Ive been cleaning it.

TT was my artist, she did an amazing job with the ark work and the concept I presented to her! Place is clean, and the vibes is just that of a great tattoo shop! Carefully went over and reviewed the work, applied and did the damn thing! Ill be coming back for more work!

Went to get my septum pierced and I am very pleased! The prices were reasonable and everyone was very friendly. Kat was my piercing artist and she was awesome! I was in and out of that room in probably two minutes and with very minimal pain from the piercing. Definitely recommend this place as I will be returning :)

I got my nose piercing done here and lemme tell you, unprofessional.My piercing got infected, I kept it clean and used the spray I was told to use.I waited an hour just for my NOSE piercing. Two people were talked to before me, even though I was there way before them.I got a massive infection around the piercing, had to take out my piercing and have to set an appointment with another piercer.I called about how to get rid of the infection, was told they’d call me; never got a call back.LEMME ADD: THIS WAS NOT A KELOID!!IT WAS AN INFECTION.Also, with requirements set in place due to COVID-19, there were more then 10 people in there waiting for piercings and some employees had their mask down when talking to customers.

This place was awesome! V did my conch piercing. Prices were very reasonable and the service was very quick. I was super nervous but it ended up being completely painless. Would recommend this shop for everyone!

Had wonderful service from Neptune since the moment my friend and I stepped through the door. She was very helpful and set a great atmosphere. Kyle was our piercer and he was also amazing! Very quick and professional! 10/10 would recommend!

Hey i dont have anything bad to say I came here for all my piercings its clean and everyone is nice. However my bellybutton piercing rejected and i was hoping to maybe get some help as to maybe why it rejected and even come back in to maybe get it pierced again. I know i couldve called or just came in but i wanted to give the 5 stars because my other experiences with my 2 nose piercings were great me and my friends come here all the time

This place is amazing! You would think for being so cheap it would be kinda sketchy, but its clean, everything is sterile, and the atmosphere is so inviting and relaxing. 15/10 would recommend to everyone! I will definitely be back here again!

The place nice and clean! Service was fast, prices were decent. Everyone was so friendly. Will be back here for more piercings!

Well my piercer was kind, quick and warming. My first ever piercing was made personal. My piercer listened to me, helped me feel calm and ready and im happy. Id recommend happily and wholeheartedly

Took my daughter to get her ears pierced. It was a great experience! Artisan is very clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We got in quickly. The piercer, V, was amazing! She did a great job. Would highly recommend this place to anybody looking for piercings or tattoos.

Awesome service, great atmosphere, great and friendly service. Kyle tge piercer is awesome and has a great attitude. Highly recommend and will go there from now on for any piercings

Got my septum pierced here

This place is absolutely amazing, I will never go anywhere else again!! The staff is super pleasant and friendly, and V has to be the best piercer in Virginia. I got my nipples and nose pierced, and the process was both fast and mostly painless! Their prices are super reasonable, and the quality of the work is beyond worth it. The piercing placement is perfect and I felt perfectly comfortable. 100% recommend!

I ONLY get my piercings done at Artisan. I live in Hampton but I make the 20 min drive cause the consistency and knowledge is comforting. My piercer is V. She is beyond cool and know her ish. She will tell you what is best for your body anatomy and not just give you something cause you want it. All the piercer are Great!!!

I am not from this area and accidentally ripped a piercing out of my ear. I researched for a place with the best recommendations to go to. They have wonderful customer service, a variety of jewelry and products, and the shop is VERY clean and nicely decorated! The piercer was able to get an earring in and recommended tea tree oil to help heal it. My ear has healed very well and I will definitely be going back for further piercing and tattoo needs!!
