Dedicated to providing high quality work, Paul never fails to perform beyond expectations. After doing research on Paul, I met and scheduled 70 hours for a lengthy piece. I was told that Id be put on the waiting list that is around 9 months long. This didnt deter me because a 9 month wait for high quality work that will be visible on my body for the rest of my life, seemed to me to be only a small sacrifice. The receptionist told me that I could possibly get in sooner if cancellations occur. So I waited and called every 2 - 3 weeks for possible openings. As a result, Ive had 12 hours of work done, 7 months sooner than what was originally scheduled. I still have my scheduled appointments at the allotted time (for the 9 month wait) but Ive been able to get in because other people have cancelled. The long wait seems daunting but its realistic: quality requires patience and a little waiting. However, its still possible to get in sooner if you check up on cancellations. The high quality work by an artist who is a perfectionist with scrutinizing each and every single line done on your skin, along with the amazing atmosphere and great vibes, has resulted in unforgettable experiences at 407 Tattoo. I highly recommend 407 tattoo and the astounding work done by Paul Loh.

I went in october of 2015, and got on a 10-month waiting list. When i setup the appointment, Paul (the owner) was kind and completely sold me on his talent and ability to "fit the tattoo to my body." I put down a non-refundable $50 to setup the appointment. When i finally arrived 10 months later, i waited half an hour for him to arrive. When he finally arrived, he said hed be with me shortly and went outside to show his friend a motorcycle and have conversation. I felt like i was bothering them by being there. When he finally came in to get started, i told him i was open to ideas. He said "its just not an idea day" and scheduled me with a different tattoo artist who would maybe be able to help. I was beyond frustrated by his artogance. I DO NOT recommend this place to anyone. The reason i wrote this was so that other people do not waste their time and money. I will not be refunded my $50 but refuse to give that man anymore of my money so i will call that a loss. Thanks for reading, and please go elsewhere for a tattoo. (Buu Tattoo in manassas is wonderful.)

I have known Paul for about 2 years now. I started as client when I was introduced to Paul from a military friend. I wanted a tattoo and got an appointment 6 months later. My friend and I would go to the shop to hang out and I saw how he interacted with other people. Paul is arrogant as hell, but never disrespectful. Ive seen people walk in and want a same day tattoo, and he lets them know the wait time. If you want a tattoo, there are plenty of places to go with less wait, if you want one from Paul you have to wait like everyone else. The next tattoo that I wanted I had a 12 month wait. I consider myself a friend and still get put on that same list. His clients are diverse and have never heard him say anything racist about anyone that walks into his door. It is a business and the schedule is the schedule why would he turn down business from anyone? If I want just any run of the mill tattoo in a short time frame then Ill so somewhere else. If i want one from Paul, I get on his schedule.

hahaha thats funny because I went there the other day and guess what Im latino too. I got the same answer 6-8 month waiting period I was like what the F()ck. I was like, are you serious man YOU ARE NOT LA INK. Im sorry man just the way you came at me... was F up your attitude just made me despise you. Some times we have foriegners come to our job and look we sometimes dont like dealing with them but their money keeps my House lights on, my Camaro on the road and the my baby mama at bay...if you know what that means.. I kinda felt like black people at a Asian super market jajaja. Any ways if you dont like dealing with Latinos just say so. Im pretty sure if your talent is as big as your EGO you will prevail. Look at Donald Trump so far hes winning even if he doesnt like Mexicans Muslims Black Bankers Chinese people for taking the jobs and Feminist so yea. Its your business just be honest with your self and other. Its a shame you are loosing clients for racial preferences.

Paul is definitely the best tattoo artist around here. You get what you pay for; Paul is amazing at what he does and his cleanliness is what you NEED from a tattoo artist. I am very impressed on how he took over a bad tattoo shop, completely renovated the place, and is KILLING it right now. Both of my tattoos are from Paul and I would recommend him because Ive handled 4+ hour sessions at a time because of his light hand. He is very out-going and creative when it comes to your tattoo ideas. The main things you want when getting a tattoo is a clean environment, a guarantee that your tattoo wont come out looking like crap, that it will heal correctly and to know your tattoo artist is passionate at what he/she does. There is a reason why there is a wait time for his tattoos, book one now!

Paul Loh and 407 Tattoo is by far the best tattoo studio that I have ever been to. Last night I began my first session for a leg gauntlet. Paul Loh is known to be very light handed, but I had never experienced this before. Well he did an excellent job especially when going over my ankle bones. This morning when I woke up my leg did not hurt AT ALL! The studio is very chill and relaxing; I was treated like I was more than just a bank roll. Stewart is uber nice and very accommodating. Paul is really friendly and really makes you feel at home while you are there. I am excited for my next appointment in two weeks. Whether you are a rookie to tattoos or have several, 407 Tattoo in Woodbridge is the place to go, HANDS DOWN!

I went a couple of days ago to get my first tattoo. From my initial trip to the shop to the actual day of my tattoo, it was very much a professional atmosphere. For my first time going into a tattoo shop, I got a great vibe from Paul. I decided to go to 407 Tattoo rather than another shop in Woodbridge based on the reviews I saw. MaKi from LA actually did my tattoo but everything about the shop is great. If you have been deciding which tattoo artist to go to, definitely check out Pauls tattoo. He gets booked up about a year in advance so keep that in consideration.

Highly recommend 407. Ive visited a couple shops trying to find the right artist for my poly sleeve. Paul is by far the best artist I have worked with getting this piece designed. There may be a wait but its well worth his meticulous designs with the line work. They are never pushy about a design and customer service is great despite what others may have posted in the past.
