I got a few piercings done here some months back and they’re healing so well! JP was very professional & informative enough that I felt at ease during the process. I will definitely be coming back when I want any more piercings in the future.

Got my 2nd tattoo here with Chauna and am completely satisfied!From walking in, the atmosphere and decorations of the shop are beautiful. The receptionist was constantly attentive to my presence and needs, and very kind on top of it all. Chauna was very easy to work with and accommodated me during emails, consultation, tattooing, and the wrap-up. The tattoo came out just as I had imagined and I will definitely be making the trip from Maryland to here to get more work in the future.Thank you so much for a wonderful tattoo and an even more wonderful experience!

Rude staff member.Went there last night 7/31/21 because my wife and I wanted to get a matching video game tattoo for my birthday. A caucasian woman roughly in her 20s or 30s was on the phone and told us she would be with us n a moment so we sat down and waited. We noticed she had a curious tattoo on her ankle of a simple clothes hanger and asked ourselves what it could be since a fair amount of tattoos have a story to them. She finished her conversation and asked what brought us in this evening. I explained that we were there to get matching tattoos and I also nonchalantly asked what was the story behind her hanger tattoo. She responded in a condescending manner dont worry about it. I was taken a back and was waiting for her to laugh or something to let me know she was joking but none of that ever came. She proceeded to try to assist us but by the time I realized she was simply being rude with her previous response, I was completely turned off from giving this business any of my hard earned money.People Ive encountered typically enjoy or are at least willing to discuss their tattoos. If this girl didnt care to share, she couldve at least been polite about it.If you work in a tattoo shop and you have exposed tattoos, maybe expect patrons or potential patrons to ask about them. And if you dont care to talk about them, maybe develop some script to let people know you rather not discuss it vs turning customers away with your toxic attitude.Turns out its in reference to abortions. Which she couldve explained and we wouldve still tried to do business with this place.

JP is amazing. He was paternal and professional with my 10-year-old who was desperate, but nervous to get her ears pierced. I was impressed with how patient he was with her; walking her through each step of the process, answering her questions, describing how the body reacts to a piercing, and generally chatting with her to diminish her anxiety. Further, the shop was pristine and the jewelry options were amazing. Finally, the person managing the front of the shop (unfortunately I didnt grab their name) was a fantastic. Like JP, they were extremely professional, patient, and primarily directed all questions regarding the piercing to my daughter- As they should have!In short, HIGHLY recommend!From my daughter: JP diffidently helped me A LOT. When i got very nervous JP helped calm down, when I asked what he would do is he were me he made me laugh and I think kept me going.

Awesome spot for a quick piercing, had my nostril pierced here yesterday. For starters, Jess the process administrator was very professional, knowledgeable and had a great personality, felt very welcomed here from the day I booked my appointment until I walked out with my new peircing, the piercer, JP was very friendly and helpful, his experience shows as he knew exactly what he was doing and made the process quick and painless. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get a new piercing!

Took my daughter in to change out her helix piercing (from another parlor) as we were having no luck removing it at home. The staff saw us right away and had an incredible calming effect that immediatedly melted away any stress and anxiety. We purchased a more appropriate piece of jewelry and had them change out the hoop. It was fast and painless. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and educated us on how to to take care of and heal the piercing moving forward. Lovely parlor and amazing staff. Grateful for their time and patience. Highly recommend.

I received a tattoo yesterday from Chaunna at Comes a Time Tattoo. From start to finish she was absolutely professional and kept my expectations high from the beginning- and did not disappoint! This was my first long sitting for a tattoo (5 hours) and she communicated with me the whole time, making sure I was comfortable, and was always agreeable when I needed a break. The tattoo itself turned out fantastic- cover up of a tattoo I got about 15 years ago and the new one is stunning (and you cant even see the old tattoo) and was exactly what I had in mind. Would absolutely recommend Chaunna to anybody looking for a tattoo in the NOVA area.

If you’re looking to get a piercing, I highly suggest coming here. JP pierced my second holes on my ears, he was so professional and clean. About a month later, one of my piercings got infected badly. I set up an appointment to get it looked at and the girl at the front (forgot her name :-( ) was so kind and professional as well. JP fixed up my ear and it feels so much better. They will definitely take care of you here!!

Worked with JP, the piercing specialist, about 3 weeks ago and got a new cartilage piercing here. JP is amazing: hes patient, incredibly knowledgeable and easygoing. As soon as my piercing was in I was in no pain for the rest of the day and since. Ive tried getting my cartilage pierced 4 times before this and they never healed correctly, but my new piercing is looking good and Im planning on coming back soon!

Ive been to this shop twice for various piercings and jewelery. Everyone Ive interacted with has been nice, honest and upfront without being intimidating.My last piercing was done by JP. I think his website bio is spot on. I came in with a general idea and multiple options for my ears as I know not every piercing will suit every person. JP calmly answered all my questions and worked with me to provide the best setup based on my ear shape and his experience.The shop its self is very clean.The jewelery selection is beautiful. They will even customize jewelery for you.I will definitely continue getting piercings here.

I love my tattoo! I came here for my first tattoo on my birthday and I am really happy that I did. I felt welcomed immediately and the staff were very friendly, professional and helpful towards me. The artist who did my tattoo, Corey, was fun to be around, down to earth, and overall helped my first experience be a very pleasant one! I will surely get another tattoo from here in the near future and would highly recommend this tattoo shop to everyone!

I had my feet tattooed by Corey Taylor and it was a great over all experience. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, easy to work with and general good company. Both my feet took about 3.5 hours and reasonably priced. I’ve always had some work done with one of there piercers George. Very sweet, was able to convey the information I needed clearly and was very professional. This shop has a good variety of jewelry and the shop is clean and well managed.

Review №22

Some of the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I got my naval pierced here and after a few weeks the screw was stripping the ball so it would just turn loosely and never tighten. The top finally fell off and I went back and bought another one. The same thing happened to the second one, and before I could bring it back to the store, the ball fell off again (mind you these are $40 each, which is not cheap). I went back and they said their products arent faulty and couldnt do anything for me since I didnt have the top. I then was stupid enough to buy a forward helix stud from them and the piercing got infected almost immediately. I then took it out and went back today because I cant get it back in. The store is supposed to be open until 8pm. I showed up at 6:15 and one light was on in the back. I called their number and no one answered. Then a man came out and I asked if they were open. He said no. I said, but its not 8pm yet and he replied, well were not open. Then he shut the door without any further explanation.

Love the staff and quality of work. Every time I go in they are wonderful, patient, and friendly.Got my daith pierced here because of amazing reviews and they met my standards! Super clean, walked me through each step and I love they have follow up visits to make sure it is healing properly. I could always sleep on that side, It never got infected, and has been healing up nicely.Went back a couple months later for my first tattoo. They had me scheduled and in within a few days. They even had me send samples I liked and drew something up for me. Day of I went in, they took care of me and made the whole thing a breeze.

Review №26

I’ve had two piercings here, an eyebrow and a nostril, one done by each of the piercers here, and they were done perfectly both times. “Perfectly” in this context means that everything was sterilized exactly as it should, and on top of that, the actual puncture was done smoothly and cleanly, so both piercings are healing rapidly and without infection. The placement of the piercings is also perfect. These aren’t my first piercings, I have a tongue and a septum, both years old, but these two I got at Comes A Time are better jobs than my previous two done elsewhere. Both of the artists I worked with (Jean Paul and Georgie) were highly professional and extremely courteous and good natured. This is the way it should be done. I only have so many body parts left that I can pierce, but I’ll be bringing them here.

I went into this shop to get piercings done with two of my three sisters. We had talked about getting something done together for a few years and had always anticipated having a special bonding experience doing so. Jean Paul made this experience happen for us! From start to finish the process was swift, easy, professional and very exciting. It was one of my sisters first piercing experiences and he made her so comfortable and at peace with the whole thing. Ive been to many tattoo and piercing shops in my day and I have to say, this was one of the best experiences Ive had. Thank you to the staff and thank you again Jean! You guys are amazing.

I love my tattoo. I was really scared about it but I had thought it out and Corey really helped me. He cleaned up the design and re-sized it so it was perfect. I really psyched myself out but he put me completely at ease and all of the people there were really friendly and honest. It was a little costly but I understood why, because they do really great quality work. You absolutely get what you paid for & Id go there again for my next tattoo.

Working with Fin has been awesome - Im currently a couple sessions into my second tattoo with him. He does great traditional style work and created a phenomenal fox and swallow (its a type of bird) piece for my left arm. The shop is spotless, and I felt surprisingly at ease when I went in the first time. Obviously my first experience was great since I went back for a second piece and will certainly go again when the inevitable urge to get another tattoo done strikes.

I go for piercing and brought by girls there since they were teenagers as well as I trusted their technique and sterilization versus some place like Claires at the mall.

I got my nose pierced (nostril) here about a week ago and the whole experience was awesome. I dont remember everyones names but they were all helpful, calming, and knowledgeable. Ive had piercings and tattoos before, but I always end up nervous. These guys were great at making me feel relaxed and comfortable. The guy behind the counter was amazing with his advice on the jewelry itself, walking me through the different types and the pros and cons of each. George did an amazing job on the actual piercing, he was funny, patient, and professional.He did the piercing quickly and efficiently, and it barely hurt. I highly recommend him and Comes A Time Tattoo.

I got my first piercing in ten years here and Tobias was very patient and helpful.

Couldnt be happier with the work.

I had a wonderful experience at Comes A Time Tattoo. I had planned to have my nose pierced and did my research as to which place to get it done at. Towards the end of my searching, I was stuck between two places, this being one of them. I checked out the website and read about it and felt comfortable with Comes A Time. I didnt set an appointment because I was aware they were okay with walk-ins. I was greeted nicely when I entered and Jen, the lovely lady who pierced my nose, made me feel entirely comfortable and relaxed before she pierced my nose. However, about two weeks later as I was cleaning my piercing, my stud came out and was impossible for me to get it back in. The next day when I called Comes A Time, they asked me to come in right away and they took care of it and again, gave me a highly satisfactory feeling. I Highly recommend to get piercings from Comes A Time Tattoo. Great environment and great people!! You WILL walk out of Comes A Time with a smile on your face.

It’s a very inviting, clean place. The staff were friendly and attentive. This was my first time getting a piercing at a tattoo place instead of the jewelry places at the mall, but I found that something as small and simple as an ear cartilage shouldn’t cost $100+...

I received my first piercing ever a little over a month ago. On advice, I searched for any local members of the Association of Professional Piercers which resulted in setting up an appointment here.

The piercing healed quickly and is exactly the way I hoped itd turn out. Ill be returning here for any future work.

Review №48

Ive gotten eight different piercings at about five different places over the years. Comes A Time was hands-down the best of them all, Ive never had such a great experience. Tobias was very personable and patient with showing me all my jewelry options, even bringing me one he found, that hadnt been on display, that he thought I might like. I thought Id been to nice piercing places before but Comes A Time blew the rest of them away; Ive gone to anyone more thorough with cleaning and placement than Tobias. Also, this was the first time I had ever been given such extensive aftercare instructions without being pushed to buy their own products, going so far as to give me the information on my jewelry and its gauge (it was the only place to give me this without me having to ask outright). Bonus points for dealing with my incredibly obnoxious friend, youll see me here for all of my piercing needs.

JP is one of the most amazing piercers I have ever had the pleasure of being pierced by! He was warm, polite, and professional throughout the entire experience and I didnt feel nervous at all. I got my belly button pierced by him and Ive never had a piercing heal so quickly and with so little issue. I have very sensitive skin and- although I have many piercings- Ive always had to wait months and months for my piercings to heal. With JP, however, it was a complete breeze. He helped me choose very exquisite and high quality jewelry and thoroughly explained the care regimen to me. If youre looking to get anything pierced, whether it be your first or your thirteenth piercing, go to JP at Comes A Time in Fairfax, VA and you wont be disappointed!

I expected good customer service but this place EXCEEDED my expectations. Everyone was nice, helpful, and comforting. I got a nose piercing and, I wont lie, I was so scared because I figured it would be different from just a regular ear piercing. The person who did it walked me through everything, so that there were no surprises. He was so personable that yes, even though it hurt a little (they said that pain differs for everyone, some dont feel it at all.), I walked out smiling. I would go again and will probably buy my jewelry from them when my nose is ready for me to switch out studs. THANKS COMES A TIME TATTOO!!!!

Review №57

Fin is great! He did a black with shading shoulder piece on me a few months ago and it healed wonderfully. Initially there were some parts that didnt heal great, but he touched them up free of charge and its looking beautiful now. He was very attentive to my vision of the tattoo and took care of me during the tattoo, always asking if I was doing alright. Ive also been pierced here, and it was an easy, quick, clean experience with JP. I came back in a couple weeks later because my barbell was too short, and he changed it out for me immediately. Wonderful people, love the dog too lolEdit:Knocking off two stars because I reached out to Fin several times about getting a rib piece done and he never got back to me. I recognize people get busy, but I reached out to him/spoke with him on four different occasions and never got a response. I want a lot of tattoos and dont want to have to chase after my artist for every tattoo. I found a new artist.

Was worried about getting my first big piece done and had been reffered to #comesatimetattoo by a friend. I emailed the shop and flash had responded to me 5 hours later before the shop was even open. Now, we all like what we like, but for the tribute piece he did for my moms passing i never knew i could fall into so much love with a piece of art. I am beyond pleased with this place and the genuine care and accommodations that were made for my comfortability and satisfaction. Would rate a 10 stars if could. If you need a legitimate shop who cares about your needs look no further. Did i mention he re-drew my tattoo x3 times after being asked before putting it on!? Real game changer guys!

I had no issues with this place piercing wise. My nose piercing was great. I was very nervous going in as this was my first piercing as an adult (ears done as a kid). They made me feel comfortable and it was done quickly and didnt hurt at all. The only complaint I have is when the guy was giving me the pricing up front he made it seem like it was one thing and when he rang me up at the end it was almost three times that amount. It was VERY misleading.

My friend and I went to get conch piercings last night and we had the wonderful piercer George. Cannot say enough good things about this guy. We were being total wusses and he was so thorough in explaining the process and making us feel at ease. We also met JP the other piercer and he was hilarious! Making us laugh when we needed it! From start to finish the whole process was a breeze and we are obsessedddd with the piercings. The piercing itself was $30 and we opted to pay for a little more expensive jewelry so we ended up paying $90. Some may say that’s a little steep but if you’re inserting a foreign object into your body, making sure it’s of good quality seems like a no brainer. Hands down recommend this shop and especially George and JP to anyone!

Review №72

I came into the shop a couple of weeks ago for my first tattoo. I wanted a very simple design: the constellation pisces on my left wrist with 3 small stars connected by little dots. I didnt think it would be possible to mess up, but when you end up with someone who doesnt seem to care about making his clients happy, it is very easy to mess up. Unfortunately I ended up with Johnny.Johnny didnt make getting my first tattoo a pleasant experience. He seemed annoyed that I not only interrupted his time, but also asked questions throughout the experience. When he asked what I wanted, I described the constellation and instead of asking me to be more specific, he asked if I wanted him to come up with a design out of thin air. Right off the bat, he was rude and impatient.Onto the tattoo itself! The tattoo looks okay from far away when you cant really see it, but unfortunately I get to see it up close every day. The stars dont have sharp points, nor are they even or good looking. The dots arent round; theyre more blob shaped that somewhat resemble a circle. Right before putting the dots on me, he muttered that they might be a mistake so Im sure he didnt try to put any effort into them since he didnt like the idea. I love the idea of my design and it went on my body, so Im not sure why he said anything. Or if he didnt like the design, he couldve politely refused to give me the tattoo instead of wasting our time and gaining yet another one star review from an unimpressed client.After doing a bit of research on Johnny, Ive found that Im not alone in having an unpleasant experience with him. Im not one to complain about much or write negative reviews. I understand that mistakes happen and people have off days, however, thats not the case with Johnny. His tattoos are half-assed and he doesnt care if his clients are pleased with the outcome. He never asked me if I liked mine and didnt tell me his name until it was all over. Even then, he welcomed us back in a very monotone and insincere voice.The person I brought along with me agreed with me about everything: that it was an unpleasant experience, he made it seem like I was annoying him by interrupting his time/asking questions, and that no effort was put into my tattoo. We definitely didnt want to stay any longer or ever come back to the shop.The only reason Im posting this is to warn others away from going to Comes a Time for a tattoo from Johnny.

Definitely Pleased. After speaking with a relative (who has experience with piercings and tattoos) I decided to take my 10 year old daughter to Comes a Time Tattoo to get her ears pierced (instead of a mall establishment like Claires). The Tech who did the piercings was Georgie K. and it just so happens, he is the one guy that I worked with/dealt with for the entire experience. He is fantastic. I called the shop two months prior to the actual appointment seeking information... did they pierce children? and beginning at what age? etc. He was a trove of useful information and could not have been more pleasant. I called again a week prior to make the actual appointment and again Georgie K. took my call. More details were provided, what documents to bring, they arent into being rigid about following through once clients arrive at the studio and if a child simply isnt ready, on the day of, thats ok. He was super nice with my daughter and had the perfect tone. Not too saccharin, not too cool. Just a nice, regular guy with special skills. He asked her what music she might want to listen to in the piercing room and didnt mock her 10 year-old music tastes. (Meghan Trainor). Prior to going in for the piercing I got a lot of info about of the jewelry they had available, it was explained to me that jewelry costs at a tattoo parlor have multiple pieces and therefore the costs are multiplied, not just by two (for two ears) but by two again, because each earring has two sections to it (a post and a gem). I also knew there was a piercing charge on top of that. The only thing I didnt expect was the added tip, but thats likely because Id not been in a tattoo parlor before and simply hadnt thought of that part. But once I realized this I was happy to add the tip. It has only been one day since the piercing, but her ear lobes look great, no redness, no swelling. Daughter said she had almost no pain (minus the three seconds when the actual needle went in her ear lobe). They sent us on our way with detailed info for aftercare and weve sprayed it twice with saline wash since then. Id definitely suggest this method and this location to my parent friends, (especially Georgie K). It is a great alternative to a place like Claires or anywhere they use a piercing gun. It is significantly more expensive, but it is so much safer — not just more sanitary, but the actual method of puncturing the skin is cleaner and sharper. A good technician (like Georgie K.) will also have a much better hand (precision) and understanding as to the actual placement of the piercing.

I just got a piercing here and although it hurt a lot, (to be fair it was in a very sensituve spot) the guy who did it was super nice and made me feel very comfortable throughout the experience. Five stars. I wish I could remember his name though Im sure he might be the only one who does the peircings.

My wife had her 7th tattoo done by Flash, and had two of her older ones recolored. I had my 6th tattoo as well, and Flash was great. Very professional, the studio was super clean, the price was reasonable, and we didnt have to wait hours like at other studios. Although Johnny didnt do our tattoos, we heard great comments from other patrons about him as well.

I was stupid and got my belly pierced in Ocean City on the board walk and after a week it was still hurting and not healing right so i called about getting a second opinion on it. Even though jen was fully booked she still let me come in and took the time to see me! Turns out i was allergic to the ring the had pierced me with and Jen changed my ring and told me different after care than what the place at the board walk did. 3 days letter and my piercing is completely different and is healing right. I well keep going to see jen for my future piercings. She was amazing!!!

I got my first tattoo here and I have to say I regret making the decision to get my tattoo at this parlor. Perhaps it was just a bad day, but I expected my first tattooing experience to be much more comforting. When I got there, Johnny was standing outside having a conversation with someone and throughout the entire process, he seemed very rushed and not at all focused on the outcome of my tattoo. It was a very simple piece with only 4 small triangles, 3 not filled and 1 filled with green. The lines were sloppy and inconsistent, and after discussion with another artist, I also found out that he scarred my skin. He charged me $120 and at this point, I just feel he took advantage of my eagerness to have my first tattoo. Needless to say, I will not be coming back and I have this experience to keep me from making the same mistake again.

If it was possible I would give them a zero. DO NOT GO HERE FOR TATS. I was foolish and didnt read the negative reviews before going in. I had two friends each of us with a simple design three bars. Simple. He told us he needed the image to be enlarged which after reading hes asked several customers. Obviously that speaks negatively to his abilites. My lines are terrible not one is straight. He used a needle far too large for the design. He over charged and gave each of us the worst tats weve ever received. It looks like a 5 year old tried to color on my arm. I can do nothing but share how utterly terrible this is. DO NOT GO GET A TATOO HERE.
