Second review. This place is the best. I had a girlfriend travel from Boone recently to get a matching tattoo with me and, like always, the staff here did everything to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We had four people with us and there was plenty of room. Booking was easy, and the price was reasonable. Front desk staff are kind. Music is always chill. When I go in alone, which I have multiple times, the staff and artists conversate with me, offer me snacks and drinks, and give me breaks when needed. They are all very funny, humble, and kind. Logan is my main artist, who is just great. My (almost completed) sleeve looks sick and is built to last. He is conversational in a way that does not make you feel as if you have to talk, or overcrowded, if that makes sense. Another thing I love about Logan: this dude is a full-time tattoo artist and should be a part-time photographer. He takes the best pictures of my tattoos. I really like how there is a variety of everything here. Each artist has their own style. Something for everyone. The shop itself is clean, decorated nicely, and very comfortable. As I said before: I would not recommend or go anywhere else.

Anthony Mandolfo did my sleeve tattoo over several sessions this spring/summer and is so talented. My arms had white scars from previous laser sessions and was not an easy canvas. I feel like a new person being able to show off the tattoo instead of my scars. His attention to detail has caused people to stop me and ask about my tattoo almost every day. Having artwork on your arm that is so beautiful is something I never thought I would do but am wondering why I waited so long. The black and gray realism is insane. Randy, the shop manager, is very accommodating and makes you feel welcome. Plus the shop is so cool--if you are wanting a really nice piece of art, you should hit up Kings Ave Durham for sure.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Kings Avenue Tattoo. From the moment I reached out to schedule an appointment, Randy was prompt and welcoming, making the entire process smooth from the start. This was my first tattoo, and they treated me so well and explained every step of the process. I had high expectations, and Anthony Mandolfo exceeded them in every way. He took my various concepts and turned it into something better than I could have imagined. His talent, attention to detail, and ability to capture exactly what I wanted were remarkable. The entire team is a class act, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional tattoo experience!

This is hands down the best tattoo studio in the Triangle area. The shop is immaculate, and Randy and Casie ensure you feel welcomed from the moment you call or walk in. They expertly match you with the right artist and make the booking process seamless. All the artists are incredibly talented and create a comfortable atmosphere. This shop is a safe space for everyone, and I highly recommend it whether you’re getting your first tattoo or adding to your collection. You won’t be disappointed!

I make a trip down to Kings Ave about once a month because they take such good care of their clients. The shop is ultra clean and well maintained. All of the artist there are very talented. Booking my appointments has always been a breeze. I am half way through getting both my arms covered and can’t wait to get it all done! I would 10/10 recommend getting some ink from here!
