it pains me to right this review but it was unfortunately my experience. After many review and recommendations my girlfriend and I decided to go here to get similar outdoor themed half selves. (side note she had a great experience, artist and tattoo). We went in and everyone was friendly, nice clean place. Explained what tattoos we wanted and were on a slight time restriction, about 3 months left in the area. We were ensured that this would not be a problem. I was matched up with the owner of the shop to do my tattoo. He drew a a rough free hand example and we discussed what details I wanted. Same with my GF artist. The owner told me he didnt do appointments until the drawing was completed approx 2 weeks and he would contact me, no problem in my book. My GF left with an appointment preset. Fast forward about 3 weeks later, I called to check the progress because I had not heard from the owner. I was told that my name and number were taken down and he would call me back the next day. I was never contacted. The next week I went in with my GF to her appointment for her outline to be completed. The owner was there but did not approach me until her outline was nearly completed. He asked if I was still wanting that tattoo, obviously I said yes, told me to give him just a minute and he had my drawing. A few moments later he came back and presented me with another very rough sketch, done free hand in red pen. I was upset but discussed with him my likes and possible changes to be made. He then told me he would send me a finished, real outline in less than 48 hours. Nearly 7 additional days passed, no picture was sent but they called to set up an appointment. At this time I would be leaving in 2 weeks, was told it would be at least 2 sessions and would require a 3-4 week healing time. Obviously the time was not enough. So after much frustration, poor communication, and just overall lack of professionalism I cancelled my appointment. My GF did go back and finished her and it turned out great. The only good thing that came out of my experience was that if a tattoo artist shows little to no interest in doing your piece and overall putting off bad vibes its probably best to move one. They did refund me my 100$ deposit. My advice: if the owner is your artist do not leave without an appoint, be sure you get a copy of your outline before showing up, and make sure he doesnt forget about you, if you use him at all. I am sure I am in the minority with this experience, but none the less, this needed to be posted.

My friend and I travelled to Va. Beach for a long weekend get away. Whisky River Tattoo is where the talent is. Stacey is amazing and super sweet. She will help you with anything from a new piercing to ordering Panara for lunch(which she paid for). John is an amazing artist and there is no one else I would want to spend 7 hours on a Sunday with getting a much needed coverup :) I will definitely come back for all of my tattoos!!

This a great and professional place to get a tattoo. I came in to get a cover up tattoo done and had a basic idea of what I wanted. The artist knew exactly what I was asking for. What I got was a fantastic tattoo that had all of what I wanted but looked ten times better than I had imagined. The people are pleasant and professional and the place is hygienically clean. Will definitely go back there for another tattoo.

Went in to check out the place and they were so super friendly I went and decided to get my next tattoo there. I was instantly greater with warm welcomes and they were so hospitable towards everyone. The process was quick and easy, the artist got to know me and was awesome. I will definitely be going back for my next tattoo adventures and will recommend them to anyone I know getting tattoos.

Had a great experience at Whiskey River Tattoo. From the moment we walked in, we knew we chose the right place for my daughters first tattoo. The staff was very nice, our tattoo artist, Julian, did an awesome job and the place was very clean! Will definitely recommend this place to anyone and will go again for my next tattoo.

I had a great experience here from the moment I walked in the door. We quickly designed my tattoo and they prepped the station right away. Everyone was friendly and welcoming! The shop was very clean and spacious. Julian did my tattoo and it turned out exactly like I wanted. I definitely recommend Whiskey River Tattoo!

This place is absolutely amazing. Great customer service. Friendly no matter if youre 24 like myself or even a little older. I walked in and was able to get my tattoo the same day because it was something small. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Got our 8 yr old daughters ears pierced. Stacey was great and made the whole experience easy and fun. She is definitely a pro. The place looks great too, very bright and clean with a nice lounge area in front.
