Ive been using Caspians for a long time, I got my first tattoo from them 14 years ago when they were still located across from the airport. Canaan and Cody are both amazing and have great personalities! Dave Rose is also pretty awesome. HOWEVER, the rest of the staff seriously needs a lesson in customer service. The last several times Ive been in there, I have encountered some seriously condescending attitudes. Take it down a notch guys. Earlier this week I sat in there and listened to 3 staff members ridicule someone for calling and asking a question. Apparently someone was out of town and got a tattoo and called caspians to ask a question and they literally told him "Idk go back and ask the person who tattooed you." Then proceeded to stand around making fun of him/her for having the "audacity" to call them after not being tattooed by them. OBVIOUSLY they thought you guys were knowledgeable and wanted your freaking opinion. Its not like they were tattooed down the street, THEY WERENT EVEN IN LYNCHBURG. And you know what? If thats the only thing that happened that day I could have easily let it go and chalked it up to "being in customer service can be draining and I caught them on a bad day." But then I listened to another artist and his customer discussing color options. The customer started a sentence and the artist RUDELY cut her off saying "No. No. I wont do it. If thats what you want you can go somewhere else." What the actual f*^k?! You dont think theres ANY other way you could have worded that?! If I were that customer I would have said keep the deposit and found a friendlier atmosphere. Because let me remind you guys, tracing is not rocket science. You are not brain surgeons. Yes there are artists at caspians with amazing talent (named above) but I have yet to be impressed by the ones this review is aimed towards. Now with all of that said, I will always say you will be hard pressed to find a cleaner tattoo facility than caspians, and they are constantly expanding their knowledge in the industry. Theres something to be said for that. Thats also why I dont mind paying higher prices to go to them. However, PLEASE get a grip on the arrogance. Its not necessary, and a huge turn-off.

I just left caspian and it is rare that I leave a bad review, but I walked in to get a small tattoo and immediately felt judged for wanting one. I didnt expect to get exactly what I brought in as I know nothing about tattoos, but was expecting a good experience and to be able to get a solid idea of what I can get. Instead, I got 2 quick sketches in a plain, handwritten font w no variety of options. When I asked to see a change (I wanted to see varying weights in the text, was told I needed a bigger font to do so.. so I asked to see), he just sketched the bigger size in the same font - not even showing me what the varying weights would look like. He probably took 30 second on each sketch. This is something that woildnpermanently go on my body, so I wanted to see exactly what it will look like. I know that small tattoos are probably not an artists preference, but this was probably the worst customer service I have experienced in quite a while. If you want a pleasant experience with good customer service no matter who you are, I wouldnt recommend caspian.

Not a good experience with tattoos. I went to get my first tattoo, which comes with a 35 dollar NON refundable deposit to secure a time. Ended up running 15 minutes late. By the time the artist came out it had been another 10 minutes and me and my girlfriend couldnt get tattoos at the same time slot. Walk-ins dont exist on Saturday so they said, even though they previously stated they did have them. Im sure they do great work but I wont be getting any work done at this place. Ended up going to James river tattoo place downtown and we walked in and they had me and my girlfriend done in 45 mins.

If you are looking for a professional tattoo shop, look no further. Price should never be an issue when it comes to something so permenant, and they are not close to overpriced, once again, you get what you pay for. I am currently working on a full sleeve with Dave Casper, the owner, and have had other work done by Canaan. Wonderful work and atmosphere. I would and do recommend to anyone who asks.

I got my wrist tattoo at Caspian’s. I love it! I saw the other guys review... I only have one thing to say to that- YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! I had scheduled a 2 hour appointment with Dave, but he ended up spending 3 hours. He is apparently a perfectionist and kept going until he felt it was perfect. AND he still only charged me the quoted price. There is a reason they have been around forever....

Whoever gave this place less than 5 stars is insane. Their jewelry selection is unbeatable and the tattooists are on point. Everyone is extremely friendly and knowledgable as well as fair priced. People dont understand that you get what you pay for with tattoos and piercings. If you want terrible tattoos and try price shopping. Tattoos arent for you. These guys ROCK.

If Im willing to travel from Charlottesville, Virginia to get my tattoos (I currently have five and am looking to get a sixth soon), then they have to be doing something right. I highly recommend going to Caspian for your tattoos/piercings. I especially recommend Garrett for your tattoos; hes done all of my mine and I cannot seem to trust anyone else to do them.

After some research, I decided to take my 8 year old daughter to Venus to get her ears pierced. It could not have been a better experience. Ben was very sweet with her and she says didnt even say "ouch". Her ears are healing beautifully, none of that crusty gunk I remember. The earrings were more pricey than other places but they are beautiful.

This is the second piercing Ive gotten at this establishment, and I doubt Id ever go anywhere else. Its clean, well priced, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Ive recommended it to multiple people and will definitely be coming back.

Went with my sister to get our ears pierced for the first time. Logical choice with more piercing training than any jewelry store and more artful eyes for piercing placement...super sterile and clean from start to finish. Friendly shop.

The woman who pierced my Tragus was amazing . It didnt hurt as badly as I thought . And it healed perfectly too . I just wish the jewelry there wasnt that expensive . Its very pretty but a little out of my price range .

The place is very organized and clean. They take sterilization seriously which is always a good thing. I only received a piercing there, so I think its ok so far. My piercing was a bit off center though.

Incredible service and tattoo quality. They really know what they are doing. John Schultz was seriously the best I could ask for. He was extremely nice and helped me not feel like as much of a wimp
