I had an awful experience just going to Altered Art to see about a walk-in appointment. My last 4 tattoos have been done at Empire in Blackwood(which is amazing), but I was hoping to try something closer to home this time. I walked in and saw a man on the customer-side of the counter and a man on the other side, whom I assume worked there. I stood there for a good 3 minutes before finally being acknowledged by the man on the customer side, who turned out to be an employee. Not even a «hello” — just a «you need something?» When I asked if there was time for a walk-in, the same guy curtly says that he’s about to leave and points to the other man, who says nothing the entire time, and says that he is booked for the night. Now, if it’s only 6:00 and I had a customer come in with 2 hours left before closing, I would at least consider looking at their idea or asking if they wanted to schedule an appointment for another time. Instead all I got was a silent stare in closing. I’m glad I didn’t end up giving such rude, reticent people my money and will make sure to warn everyone I know not to go there.

They did a great job on my Masonic tattoo. Their popularity has made it a little harder to get an appointment but it is worth the wait.

Long story short — I drove two hours and got my first tattoo from Rich a couple weeks ago. I can’t say enough what a killer experience this was. Great soundtrack, expert advice, excessively clean, and each artist had an AMAZING portfolio. I think the most telling point was the number of people who saw the tattoo afterward and told me that it was a difficult piece(lots of solid black) and that it would most likely need to be touched up. Now that I am fully healed I can safely say it was a perfect job. I already know my what my next two tattoos will be and can’t imagine going anywhere else.

Bryce is an outstanding artist with a great touch and a keen eye. I’ll keep driving up from Va for Bryce to do my work.

Rich did my tattoo of two very realistic looking sparrows and I love the shading and use of color. I can say he’s done a lot of work on many of my friends and he specializes in really great bright colors, beautiful flowers, great script work, and does gorgeous pin-ups. His placement is always on point. The shop is a laid back environment, no hipster pretension but lots of good metal. My fiancé goes there regularly and has gotten all of his work there by Rich and Brice.

Altered Art is by far the best shop in the area. Their professionalism, knowledge and passion can not be contested. The shop has a very relaxed atmosphere, is accommodating to your needs and offers a level of skill that cannot be matched. Each artist has been trained by the best and their passion and skill in the art world is hard to find anywhere else. Sharon, the piercer, is also very knowledgeable and skillful in her art. I wouldn’t recommend anywhere else to my friends or curious people I meet that ask about my tattoos. So if you want to got some high-quality work that you will not regret and will be more than satisfied with, stop in Altered Art.
