I purchased two pairs of earrings recently. Customer service is always amazing and the staff are knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. To top it all off, this particular shop is the most beautiful tattoo/ piercing shop I have ever seen! Shout out to Kristy and Ryan for their help!
This shop is awesome. It’s very sanitary, the people are FANTASTIC, and the skills are just peak. I was seen by Kari and Morgan. The flower photo is Kari’s work and the finger tattoos (aside from the big one on the ring finger) were done by Morgan. Amazing work. I’ll definitely be going back to this shop and these artists for my future tattoo plans. You will not leave disappointed! The artists personalities are so fun, too. We were laughing a lot! I also got to meet the owner, Dave, who is so kind and just a gem. Please, give this shop your support!
Great experience! Called this morning to see if they had an available artist since I had the day off work and they did. I showed the artist my inspo pic and he made it 100x better. The owner came in periodically while I was getting tattooed to check in and introduced himself. Overall 10/10 and I couldn’t be happier with my tattoo.
Decided to come here to get re-pierced after seeing tons of recommendations for Ryan. He was fantastic and very efficient. I was in the piercing room for maybe 5 minutes, if that. He was thorough and made sure to double check placement since the previous piercing I had gotten at a different shop was not quite placed correctly. The overall atmosphere of the shop was great and really well curated. Everyone I came to contact with was friendly and welcoming. Services were priced reasonably as well. It was very easy to book an appointment on their website as well. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to get a piercing.
I'm sitting in The Collective right now and all of my party has just been raving about it. If you're in Virginia Beach and you want to enshrine a memory or moment, this is the place to go. They do walk ins, but I would recommend getting in early if that what's you're going for. The staff is so friendly. They matched us up with the best available artist pending on our tattoo ideas. Scott Kingan did my piece and I love it. I will hopefully be back to get more of his work tattooed on me on future vacations.
