This is my family tattoo spot, with Scott Parsons being our artist. He and his staff have tattooed my aunt and uncle and their three kids, another uncle, myself, my fiance, my mother in law, and several of my friends. I personally requested that Scott do my mother-in-laws tattoo because it was her way of celebrating her being breast cancer free for over five years. He was busy but he did it, and did a beautiful job. She shows it off every chance she gets! I thought the tattoo experience was always going to be crappy after my first three tattoos from River City in 2008 and 2009 all of which were done so heavy handed the skin is still raised and they have all looked awful from day one. I do admit that I got one tattoo done here that I wasnt happy with but it was absolutely not because of the work they did, it just heeled terribly. I showed it to Scott along with my first crappy/mistake tattoo and seconds later we were discussing fixing them both up. I had one of my River City tattoos covered here and will soon have Scott cover the other 2. My fiance and I are very much looking forward to heading back to Enigma for new ink!

This place was awful. I got a small, extremely simple, tattoo there. They guy that did it drew a stencil that looked great. He placed is on me and I told him that I thought it was crooked. He assured me that the stencil was only used as a guide and that my actual tattoo wouldn’t be. Well, once he was done not only was it still crooked but it looked like a kindergartner did it. The “artist” didn’t even stay within the outline and the entire outline was uneven. He asked me if I liked it and I said “NO!”. That was it… no offer to try to fix it… no offer to not charge me full price. Nothing. So a few months later, after it healed, I went to another shop to see what they could do. They said that they couldn’t fix it because of how horrible it was. But, luckily they we able to cover it up with a new, beautiful tattoo! Thank you Lucky 13 for saving me!

I am only giving one star because I cant physically do zero stars :/ I paid a $50 deposit to get a tattoo done. I gave them pictures of what I wanted and told them I wanted it modified slightly. The artist helping me ( Mikey) advised he would get back to me within a week with a revised sketch and we would discuss pricing and appointment times from there. I never received a call back. I reached back out to them 2 weeks later, and he wasnt there. They just advised me he may have been backed up, which is understandable. However weeks and weeks have gone by with no follow-up. I even ensured they had my name and number to give me a call back when ready... I paid my deposit mid April and here it is July.I read great reviews about them however my experience was crap. Crooks.

Got a great finger tattoo cover-up here with Scott P. about two years ago when I first moved to RVA.. Had a great conversation and experience that time.. Like I wanted him to be my "tattoo guy" here. But since then, Ive tried 5 different times to get tattooed by him. He is a chronic canceller. Him being such a great person that first time honestly makes it even worse that hes actually super irresponsible and inconsiderate. If you go in and catch him, hell do a great job on your tattoo, but do NOT expect anything else from him. And NEVER schedule an appt. He WILL cancel. It happened to me 5 times over the past 2 years. And if he ever asks for your number, understand that he will never text you like he promises he will. Idk whats up with the guy.

Purchased some earrings here the other day... had the piercer who was available put them in for me. Firstly, he didnt sanitize the earrings or my ears before putting them in. Secondly, I found out after I got home that the earrings were a couple gauges too big for my ears, making them very painful to wear. The piercer struggled when putting them in, and you would think they would know how to tell if an earring was too big for the piercing. called the store to try and see if i could return the earrings only to find out they wont take them back. Im out $100 now. Would not recommend.

I have two original pieces (one by Gary and one by Scott) done at Enigma and my first tattoo done at some other shop by some crap dude redone by (little) Scott at Enigma. My sisters, my mom, my brother, cousins and friends all go to Enigma and have never had a problem. All the tattoo artist are awesome, talented and pretty patient. Gary and Little Scott are pretty sweet tattoo artists and are definitely favorites. Andrews a beast but a little heavy handed so hes not for the weak. Good work, clean environment, respectful staff.

I just got my first tattoo done here, im glad i did. the shop looks kinda sketch when its empty but it is clean. Dustin did my tattoo he did a great job, i showed him what i wanted, (lettering) and we worked on the exact style with me and i liked what he came up with. his room was clean and everything looked legit. The tat only took 20 min. the shop was good and i will be back for my next tat

Ive come here for three tattoos so far and each time Ive gotten great customer service. Mainly I deal with Scott since I think hes the best that Ive dealt with but generally everyone is always really nice when I come in. I dont think the place deserves half the bad reviews its gotten and I have great ink to prove it. Give it a chance for sure!

I got a large necklace tattoo back in 2011 done by Scott. It is my favorite tattoo and I still get compliments daily on the work. Its been 6 years since receiving but everyone thinks its maybe a year old...thats how awesome it looks! I will be scheduling an appointment with Scott to begin my sleeves. Highly recommend this shop and Scott.

I got a tattoo while in Richmond on a whim, we found Enigma Studios and glad we did. I wanted to get a butterfly on my foot and knew it was going to hurt but Mike took good care of me. I absolutely love my tattoos, thank you so much Mike. The staff was great and I was very comfortable in their shop. Thanks guys.

My friends and I went in and got piercings. I got my rook, one of my friends got her cartilage, and my other friend got her nipples and belly button pierced. The shop was very clean and the piercer was extremely knowledgable and easy to talk to. Ill definitely be coming back to get some more

This place was awesome and the people were very helpful. This was my first time getting a tattoo and I felt like I was in good hands. I had Scott and he was awesome! He walked me through everything that he was doing and gave me detailed care for after. I highly recommend them.

Robin by far is the best for realism and professionalism. Takes great care of military and does not rob them blind on the price. Would recommend to anyone. Stayed until the work was done. 8 hours later and it is perfect. Kyle K.
