This review is for Pina, one of the artists at Storyteller tattoo. I visited the shop for the first time over a month ago to speak to an artist about a concept for a design I have. When I got there I was helped by Pina. After spending some time describing the concept I was looking for, he asked me to email him some images that I would like to incorporate into the design. I agreed and went home that evening and emailed him a number of images, including an image that showed exactly the space I wanted the design to occupy. Pina never replied to my email after a few days, so I called the shop again, and was told by Pina that I should come in again to discuss the design in person. A few days later, I visited the shop again and spoke to Pina about the design and the images I sent. He took a few photos of my arm, and told me that he would draft up a design, and would email it to me when it was done. After waiting a week and hearing nothing, I emailed the shop and ask about the status. I received nothing back after a few days. I then called the shop, and spoke to Pina on the phone. He told me that he would have a completed design ready for me by the next day, and that he would email me. Another four days went by, and I received nothing. I called the shop again, and was told Pins was not available, but that he would call me later. I left my information, yet never received a call back. Ive since called the shop another three times over the course of a week and a half, and have left messages for Pina every time, only to have him completely ignore me and not return my calls. At this point, Ive wasted so much time with them, Ive decided to move on. I give this warning to those who are considering a custom design, as apparently Storyteller Tattoo cannot handle these requests. Extremely disappointing, as they are close to my house, and appear to have done decent work in the past as featured on their website.

I moved to Virginia within the last year and decided to get another tattoo. I started like many others would and searched the internet. I read reviews after reviews and looked at countless portfolios. I narrowed it down to a few places and then I asked a fried where he went and he mentioned Storyteller Tattoo. They happened to be on my shortlist so I decided to make an appointment. When I first walked in, the place was clean and professionally ran. Everyone was courteous and I truly felt like a customer and not an annoyance. Jay was my artist and not only humorous, but he is a great tattoo artist. While I was there several others received tattoos and all seemed like quality work. The most amazing part of the experience was the level of integrity that I saw from the staff. The owner, Tim, leads by example when a under 18 year old came in with her parent. She wanted a tattoo on her wrist and Tim refused to do it, stating that is something that can follow you. He explained that you might as well get a full sleeve since you cannot hide a wrist tattoo. Not having weighed all the options, the teen was grateful. Tim also carried the same level of integrity with piercings. If you’re not sure on what you want, I suggest you visit them and have a discussion. They are very insightful and courteous. I would highly recommend them to all.

I have a few tattoos already done by a family member who currently stop tattooing so I had to go on a search for a new tattoo artist and shop, originally I went to All American Tattoo and they completely were unprofessional about multiple things and I ended up not receiving follow ups for a reschedule of my appointment or an accommodations. So after searching many other different shops, Storyteller caught my great attention and I was greeted and accommodated by Jay and the shop owner. Everyone there was polite and listened to my horrible situation at All American, Jay was able to do a rough sketch of exactly what I wanted and was able to work with my work and school schedule to get me in for an appointment. After many disappointments from other shops I am happy to say that Storyteller will be my new tattoo location and I love the environment and everyone who works in there just makes me feel comfortable and secure with getting my tattoo done here. I highly recommend getting your work done at this shop you will not be disappointed.

I tagged along with my sister as she got a piercing yesterday and I was really impressed with the shop. As a medical professional, cleanliness is key for me first and foremost. The shop was well maintained, the restroom was clean, and every instrument used was sterile- I watched the piercer open everything (like a hawk). The piercing area was in the same area as the artists, in a studio type set up. That setup can be a drawback, however a privacy screen was used which was very professional and courteous. As far as the atmosphere, it was also something to be reviewed. I personally have quite a few hours of work done, so Im not blindly commenting. The music was playing, the artists were all laughing and talking and the customers were interacting. It was a very relaxed and happy atmosphere. It seemed like home when I walked in, as if I have been going to this shop for years. Thats not something you get at many shops and its certainly not a vibe you can fake. While I didnt get any work done, I plan on making this my new home studio!

I took my daughter to get her ears pierced today. She was understandably nervous but the guys at Storyteller were amazing with her. They were both (Danny and Bear) so kind and calm with her. Danny took his time, explained what he was going to do before doing it. Then, they pierced both ears at the same time! Talk about a moms lifesaver! Otherwise, we would have walked out with only one ear pierced! She is so happy with her new earrings and Im so thankful I decided to take her there rather than one of those places in the middle of a mall!

Scott just finished doing my sleeve and its incredible. His Lines are so clean and straight. Ive been getting tattoos for 16 years now and have not seen nice straight, clean lines like this really anywhere. Scott is the MAN. Couldnt be any happier with it. Anyone think about going here i would really recommend this shop. I love the open studio. Everyone there is very friendly and great to talk to. I cant wait to get another tat from here!

Danny was my piercing artist and I got my septum pierced. As soon as the quick forms were filled out it took no time to get it done. I will admit that though I do have a high pain tolerance, I felt almost nothing but some pressure and my eyes watering (which is normal) and BOOM, done. Staff has a great sense of humor yet remained professional. Ill be back. Aw yee Im purdy

Pinas dedication is outstanding to his work and it shows in his art work that Ive received. Hes completed several custome pieces for me, including coverups, and I couldnt be more pleased with the outcome. I never received complements before but constantly do now and its been an honor to work with him.
