The first time I came here was when I was 13 to get my nose pierced. I was super scared but the piercer, Mike, was really nice and helped calmed me down by making small talk. I felt safe there, and the employees were very nice and understanding. Piercing my nose went by fast, and simple. They told me a lot of good information on how to clean, made me feel welcomed to come back in for any problem, no matter how small it was. Here I am almost 16 and my nose is doing wonderful! One time I torn it out by accident and I went back and they re-pierced it for free! I also went back this summer when I was down in North Carolina visiting my dad, and I came in wanting 3 piercings. My cartilage, conch, and tragus. I got the same piercer has last time so I was more calm since he did such a great job last time. Mike was really nice and understanding just like last time. He made a lot of small talk to calm my nerves. Between the piercings he asked if I was okay, asked me how I was feeling. He made me feel like I was in a safe environment. Everything went smooth. He gave me great information and here I am about 3 months later and my piercings are doing great! Port City Tattoo is a wonderful place to be pierced! They have a safe and clean environment and made me feel more then welcomed during my visits. I cant wait for next summer so I can go back! :)

Went in to get my industrial pierced about a year and some months ago. Took all of about 4-5minutes. They were very professional and told me exactly what they were doing. My industrial was my first "big" piercing and it healed quite well. Not going to lie, hurt for a while after getting it but they explained to me that industrials are easily infected and sometimes hard to clean. A year later and my industrial is doing great! Planning to go back to get my rook soon! Port City Tattoo is amazing!

I am surprised that there arent more reviews of this place, Ive decided to really start rating everywhere I go. My artist was a guy named Justin Pierce, and I must say he was excellent. I was " under the needle" for about 4 hours today and got a beautiful leg piece done. He paid so much attention to detail ( trust me there was allot of it) I am very happy with it and I will be going back to get it colored in. If you ever are in need of a good artist I would highly recommend Justin.

We stopped by here while traveling through Wilmington. These were our first tattoos (and we have grown children)! One tattoo we knew what we were getting, the other one needed to be drawn up. Bobby drew up an awesome pic and he also did both of the tats. He did such a great job, cant imagine anyone doing better than what he did. He made it a great experience for both of us!

Beware!!! this is not the same port city we all have trusted and gone to for years. I went in two days ago and have never felt so unwelcomed. So I go to there Instagram page to see the work of the new guys and lets just say you are better off letting my 10 year old tattoo you then any of the talent and Im using that word loosely thats employed there. #Makeportcitygreatagine

I took my wife in to Port City get her first ink. Jocko Webb was very cool and laid back. He put my wife at ease, and helped her create a beautiful tattoo. Jocko is a true professional, and awesome artist. We are both so happy with her new body art. Jocko did such an amazing job, that my wife is already planning her next tattoo for him to do.

Used to be a really great shop. I got tattoo there a bunch. Some guy named jocko or gurillomo bought it. And he fired the people that worked there. His tattoos are not good. Not even a little bit. NOT THE SAME PORT CITY IT WAS

At one time this was the best in Wilmington. Sadly it is not anymore. Jade monkey, Glenns, and marks of distinction will offer you the same quality tattoo port city use to offer.

Loved my tattoo. Chase did my tat and he was awesome. I was told elsewhere that my tattoo could not be done in the location that i wanted it, but he made it happen. Impressed.

Justin Pearce is an exceptional artist. Detail orientated and compassionate to his clients needs. We look forward to many more sessions with him!

Pathetic excuse for a tattoo shop. I dont know whos closer to a 5 year old toddler their sketches or their customer service and maturity level.
