Best Tattoo shop ever!! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. The people are amazing. They made my time there enjoyable :). Alvin is awesome. My tattoo is exactly what I visioned. Clean lines and perfect coloring. I will definitely be back. I highly recommend this shop.

This is the absolute best place to get a tattoo!!! They are extremely sanitary and every single one of them are friendly and down to earth and just awesome!!!! Jessica is absolutely amazing!!! She created a custom tattoo for me that is beautiful!!! I was on a time crunch and she managed to get it done and it looked exactly it would have if we would have had unlimited time. I dont know how shes that awesome but she is!!! You are made to feel just like you have known them your whole life and to me thats important!! Great work guys keep it up!!! EVERYONE SHOULD GO HERE!!!!!

Somehow was able to score a walk-in with Jessica and it was great! She’s super nice and made sure I was 100% comfortable. I got a traditional tattoo in a tough spot (on my hip) but she was super gentle and could not have been more professional. The tattoo turned out great! 10/10 recommend!!!

Amazing people. Fabulous artists. Fun atmosphere. Sanitized environment.

I absolutely love this place. It on of the most clean place I been in . They are very professional. I absolutely love there work.

This little shop has amazing people the atmosphere is intoxicating. The owner of this little shop of Wonders is a very skilled tattooist and we simply love her. I have yet to try any of the other tattoo artist but I have no doubt of their skills.

Jessica is A-MAZING, like phenomenal 😍 👏 👌 ✨ The shop and other artists are super friendly and welcoming like I was family!

This place was so fun and made me feel so welcome. Everyone was so nice and the piercer made my smiley really easy and made it so I fully understood how placement works and how important it is! I would come back here without any hesitation :)

Love this place will definitely be back!!

We brought our 6 year old here to get her ears pierced and they were awesome. They were so friendly, relaxed and the place was very clean. The piercer wasn’t in today but the girl who answered the phone gave me their number and told me to text them. They quickly responded to my text and were happy to accommodate us on the same day. The girl who pierced her ears did a great job..my daughter didn’t cry it was done so fast. Very pleased!

Best shop in Morganton hands down!! Love it and recommend it to everyone!! Artwork is incredible and staff is so friendly!! Check it out!!

Awesome Artists, great atmosphere & music, highly recommend.

Jessica is a great person and owner, really strives for greatness in all her works and as a fellow tattoo artist, Ive always been impressed with her skills as an artist and her grace as a leader in this industry, with a culture of dissent and drama. John is a talented artist but has an attitude problem and could stand to humble himself down and take a pinch of salt and open his mind a bit. Thomas Parks, their Piercist is an amazing person, very skilled Piercist and all around excellent person. He has a brisk but kind bedside manner and really makes the client feel at home before any procedure. Kayla, although a bit new to tattooing is a great artist and even better person. Her tats are clean and vibrant (if theyre colored, obvi lol) and her bedside manner is bar none the best in the county. Her friendly disposition and light hand are sure to leave a lasting (positive) impression. As for anyone else there Im unfamiliar and cant comment. Enjoy your time at poison apple! 🥰💓

A great place to get a tattoo.

I would never recommend getting any work here... the owner is rude the work is sloppy and four hours later I walked out with a tat worse than an in home tat!! Don’t waste your money

Our 6 year old daughter wanted to get her ears pierced and Poison Apple did an amazing job! Everyone is so nice and made our daughter feel very comfortable. They were very accommodating and helped to make this a special experience. Thank you!

Thank you so much to Poison Apple Studios and all of the artists there! I came in for an appointment with Roe Kanup (who I had been planning an appointment with for months and who had previously done all of my other tattoos *including a sleeve he started on me* and I had talked to him the morning of my appointment about payment details) and when I arrived at the shop I was informed that Roe was no longer at the shop and no one knew where he could be or why he didn’t let me know that he was no longer working at Poison Apple Studios. I was visibly upset and shocked to hear this news. All of the artists comforted me and informed me that they would accommodate me any way that they could. They ended up working me and my friend who also had an appointment into their busy schedule. My artist, Kayla, stayed multiple hours after she had originally planned just to make sure I was well taken care of and got the tattoo that I had been planning to get. She did an AMAZING job working on my sleeve that Roe had started. I know many artists aren’t fans on completing another artists work so I thank you so much for all that you did for me. I will be going back for all future appointments!

Stoped by yesterday to get a little work done from Roger Acker, who was great. The vibe of the shop was perfect. All the staff was super friendly. Will definitely be going back.

Travis is awesome. I had him cover up a bad tattoo. I have never been so excited with the results. It is gorgeous.

I have know Jessica (the owner) for years. She is an amazing and professional person. She is passionate, and responsible, which is why I started going to her for my tattoos originally. I quickly learned there is no other place I will go.I have been coming to her shop since they opened and I have never had a bad experience. The shop is always clean and organized, the staff is always friendly and helpful, and they always practice the highest standards in sanitation.I have had multiple tattoos, and an ear piercing and I have zero complaints. Honestly I can not recommend a better place than this shop. All the artist here are amazing and I hope to book a photography session soon because Ive seen Erins work and she is fantastic.

I loved Travis & his family. Great service... love my tattoo!

Everything was cleaned between each client, very professional, very welcoming. Very happy with the work. Will be back. HIGHLY reommend.

Hands down the BEST tattoo studio AND artists Ive ever been to. Jessica is amazing, she can make any of your tattoo dreams into a reality. Shes gentle, patient and very easy to get along with and talk to. Everyone else in the shop is also friendly and do good work. Everytime someone gets me on the subject of tattoos, I refer Poison Apple every time. I get numerous compliments on the pieces that Jessica has done for me. I wouldnt go anywhere else.

Amazing store and artists! Jessica is an wonderful person. If you havent checked them out, you should!

Jessica is a true artist! She takes her time with her customers and really delivers on their tattoo vision. The shop is the cleanest Ive seen. They always use clean equipment and ensure that you are in a sterile environment. If youve been dreaming of that perfect tattoo and have been unsure of where to go then look no further, this place is exactly where you need to be.

Jessica did both of my tattoos and did an amazing job. She keeps a clean and professional shop. Everyone who works at Poison Apple Studios is welcoming and kind. Haven’t had a bad experience yet. They were helpful during the healing of my tattoos and Jessica always answers my questions. Kelsey does my nails and makes them look great. My tattoos were worth the wait. I get compliments on them all of the time.

I have 6 tattoos from four different artist. I am super happy with Jessica’s work. Her line work is impeccable. She is a truly talented artist that is humble and passionate to her trade. I have also had Kelsey do my nails she is extremely talented and has a knack for custom nail art. Poison Apple is a small and personable shop that I Highly recommend over any other shop in the area.

John helped me fix my chest tattoo, from something I wasnt proud of and would have never taken my shirt off unless I had to to something im proud to show my friends. For what I had to work with he did great. And dont get me started on the atmosphere. From the artist to the regulars that made me feel like there best friend. We all laughed and joked the entire time and im ready for my next one at Poison Apple ASAP

Poison Apple Studios is the best Tattoo shop around. Great people, great artists, and great atmosphere. I will not go anywhere else. Jessica has done 7 of my tattoos and I couldnt be happier. For the best Poison Apple is the only place!

Excellent the 3 times I have been there. Very friendly staff worked with Roger. Got exactly what I wanted. Will go back!

I have received tattoos all my life and I love this studio the most!!! It is without a doubt the best tattoo studio I have ever been to ever. The artists are calm and patient and helpful. The studio is always spotless and clean.I find it fun to be there. The tattoos are wonderful, care sheets and kits are available, and any and all tattoo questions will be answered. I have had some old work covered and repaired, and a lot of new work done as well. Make your appointment and enjoy the most detailed and perfect tattoos I have ever had the chance to see anywhere!!! My artist, Jessica, is the absolute best! I can only give 5 out of 5 stars, but it deserves all the stars!!! Highly recommended!!! Call and set up your appointment today!!!!

Hands down best tattoo studio in and around Burke County. The quality of their work is phenomenal! Jessicas talent is unmatched! I am currently getting a very large very detailed back piece and everywhere I go people constantly give me compliments! The shop is clean and kept very sanitary! Dont go any where else!

The ladies who operate this place are so talented and kind. Being a breast cancer survivor, I had lost all my hair from my chemotherapy, including my eyebrows. Lesley who will go down in history as The Brow Lady just tattooed my eyebrows and gave me a whole new look. She is nothing short of an artist! I highly recommend her or Jessica for any cosmetic permanent work needed, including nipple replacement tattoos that look realistic for mastectomy patients.

Jessica has done my most recent tattoos and I won’t go to anybody else! Kelsey recently done my nails and I absolutely love them! They’re both amazing artists in they’re own way! Everybody there is always so nice and friendly and they all talk to you like you are part of there own family! I recommend this shop to everybody! Anytime anybody ask me about tattoos I always say they need to go to Posion Apple! Love you guys!

I am a repeat client of this shop for many reasons! Very clean, professional shop, with an amazing shop owner and staff. She has worked with me on my appointments on days I could not come, and was very polite to reschedule. The quality of her work is worth the wait for her busy schedule. Especially if you are expecting an amazing cover to be done! I would highly recommend!!

My wife and I brought our 5 year old daughter to get her ear pierced today. Unknown to us, when we made our appointment, they had a pretty major event scheduled. Had a food truck, people in costume and about 40 to 50 people waiting outside to get a tattoo. We made ourselves known and we were told it would be a few minutes. About 5 minutes later they came and took us back and we were finished in about 10 minutes. Both piercers were wonderful with our daughter. They made sure she was comfortable and wasnt afraid. We did not feel rushed or like we were a bother at any point. The shop was clean and very organized, even with the event getting ready to begin. Poison Apple is recommended just for the pure customer service and kindness of all of the employees. Will be scheduling a tattoo for myself very soon.

Everyone at poison apple is amazing at what they do. They treat you like family and do such a great job. I highly recommend them. Already received 3 tattoos from Jessica and have an appointment booked for my next. Her work is great and I wont go anywhere else.

Great friendly shop. Very good artists as well. Travis done 4 tattoos on my sister and two on her boyfriend. Travis done one on me so far but I plan on going to him for all my tattoos. Travis does very good work I highly recommend him.

Jessica popped my tattoo cherry and continues to amaze me! Her line work is out of this world and the way she’s so involved in her art and makes each piece individual to the customer is mind boggling! ❤️ The shop feels like home, everyone is so nice and clean. 10/10 would recommend! ❤️❤️❤️

Excellent Tattoo Studio. Jessica has done most of my work and I highly recommend her. She is extremely talented and takes her time to make sure you are pleased with what will be permanently on your body. Not only is this a tattoo studio, you can also get your nails done and even permanent makeup!

Kelsey is a true artist when it comes to nails, and does a fantastic job. I love her nail art, and get my nails done regularly there.Jessica saved my tattoo - turned a tattoo Id had done elsewhere and was dissatisfied with into something Im delighted to show off. She did amazing line work on my ring tattoo that I had been told by others couldnt be done and wouldnt last. Ive already got my next tattoo scheduled, and am so excited about it that I can hardly wait.One of the best things about Poison Apple Studios is that they feel like family. From my very first visit, it felt like Id known them all for years.

After several attempts to contact Ms. Ford on social media I was blocked. I was very impressed with her work; however I consider myself very fortunate that I never visited her salon based on her obviously unprofessional manner on social media. I am very studious when selecting a new professional to care for my nails. After Ms. Ford amateurish behavior I consider myself very fortunate not to have selected her for service. She obviously lacks people skills

Jessica’s work is amazing! She’s detailed and meticulous! I love the tattoos she’s done for me! I will never go anywhere else no matter how long the wait list is! Check them out! You won’t be disappointed!!

Reasonably priced high quality tattoos. With very friendly and knowledgeable artists. Very high sanitation standards.

This review is only about the artist. Lindsay I think her name was, she was new. She did a blood line using SOAP, yep tattooed right into my skin, before the ink. 5 days later and my tattoo burns, bleeds, and freaking hurts like crazy. I ended up going to the hospital thinking it was infected. Turns out that Im having an allergic reaction to the Soap or the ink. Also, my daughters matching tattoo is missing a lot of outline on her butterfly. When my daughter mentioned it needing outlined, she was told that was where the shading was going. Again, the shop had nothing to do with what this woman did. She had us in there from 8pm until 3 am after the shop closed and everybody left. Next time I will ask why the new person doesnt work at their old shop before they tattoo me. I really hope this scarring doesnt mess up my tattoo, I paid $160 for 2 matching tattoos, I dont want to have wasted all that money for it to be messed up.

Absolutely an amazing place to get work done!! Best prices around!! The most hospitable and cleanest place I’ve ever been to!! Artists are nice and very creative! Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Poison Apple has became my favorite tattoo shop go to for tattoos. There tattoo artist Travis has done 5 tattoos I love them and everyone asked who done ink I tell them Travis done them wow he done great job. Thanks man

They are clean and everybody in thete is nice and makes u feel comfortable they have good prices and very good at what they do....this is my new place Im gonna stay going too

I see both Kelsey for my nails and Jessica for my tattoos. There is nothing that these ladies cant do! Any crazy idea I come up with Kelsey can bring to life on my nails! Jessica is the real deal! I asked her to do a tribute/memorial piece for my grandfather and she took my ideas and brought them to life in such a way that I cant even explain! These ladies are true artists and I cant say enough good things about their work!

Love this place and definatly dosnt deserve less then five stars........got 2 piercings here sofar and passed out on the second one, still laugh about that and cant wait for my appointment in march with jess 😊 her artworks absolutely amazing.......im super excited

Jessica is awesome. There is a reason she has a long waiting list to get an appointment. She is worth the wait!

Best tattoo shop everyone there does great work and has a great personality

Not naming names but they were rude and made fun of the tattoo I wanted to get. Wait time for an appt isnt worth the quality of work they do. Tattooist has been fired. And this review does not reflect Jessica herself. She was great

Small place but awesome artwork. Ask for Diego, he was great. Please note this was my first tattoo but he came highly recommended by friends that have had several.

My artist was Leslie; She nailed every style of tattoo I could throw at her; a black and gray, two traditional, and working awesomely on a big coverup. Anyone that knows tattoos well are very impressed by her work on me.

Travis is our go to guy for tattoos. All the artists there are great. Nail salon on site as well and she does amazing work.

I love my new tattoo! Travis at Poison Apple Studios will be my go-to artist now! He was easy to make a appointment with, he was kind, and the price was great!!

I have got 3 tattoos from poison apple studios and I love them all there work is amazing need a new tattoo go to poison apple studios they are the best and great prices as well

Poison apple studios is the best place around to get piercings and tattoos. My personal experience is always amazing every time I go in they are always welcoming and inviting and their work is always great and beautiful

Good tattoo good scene

Awesome shop and people. Go see Jessica and Travis

This is an amazing tattoo parlor. Jessica, the owner, finished two of my tattoos. She did an incredible job. I felt like I was family while I visited.

Very clean and neat shop wonderful artists. Very helpful and welcoming. Travis has done a cover up tattoo on my leg and did an amazing job so I wanted to get a piercing and my friend had a couple she wanted done so we walked in and seen travis Kirkland at the studio and he took on both of us and was very professional very clean and through and very well multitasker. Highly recommend to everone!

I received 2 very special tattoos from Jessica last week. They are healing beautifully and I couldnt be happier with them. Thank you!!

Friendly staff. Did a great job on my tattoo. Will definately be back and recommend!

Great place,wouldnt go anywhere else very welcoming and friendly to their customers awesome artists would definitely recommend this place and these artists!!!

Great time everytime I go in for art work on my nails or to see lesley corea for my tattoos we never fail to laugh and always made to feel at home! Lesley has been so kind with my sleeve and her art work is beyond beautiful! So excited to get more work done!!! Definitely worth every minute spent !!!! Lesley Jessica and Travis are very clean and never heard one problem went to go check out lesley loved how clean everything was and stayed the entire time and the clean up after the tattoo as well! Overall just amazing time, work and fun!

Awesome place, good and very friendly staff, went in to talk about a tattoo and came out with my anti-eyebrow and I love it! Very professional

I love this shop, this is certainly not a duplicate account!

Best place to go!!

Fun place. They know what they are doing and great work.

Poison Apple Studios is an AMAZING shop! Jessica took an idea I had for a tat and made a masterpiece on my shoulder! She is the only one I want to do my tats! 💞💞💞💞

I love you guys

Got my tattoo from Jessica and she was amazing. New exactly what I wanted

The amount of times I’ve been coming to the shop it’s always a good time when I’m there and she’s already done a tattoo for me and is currently working on a Phoenix on my arm. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

Great and friendly tattoo artist. I highly recommend

I haven’t gotten a tattoo from here yet but I do go to Kelsey to get my nails done. She is by far the BEST nail lady EVER!!!!
