10/10 experience! I got nipple piercings with Safari and he made me so comfortable and at ease with the whole process (I was really nervous lol). Very respectful, attentive, and informative. Cleanliness and sanitation on point. Everyone was so professional and nice. Highly recommend!
Safari was amazing! I’ve had my tongue pierced done by him before and now came back to change my nose piercing. Excelente service and will definitely be coming back again!
I have been to this shop twice. The first time was amazing, the second.. not so much. Don’t get me wrong, they do QUALITY work here but the customer service is not up to par. My sister was getting a piece done and we came in with an initial idea but it wasn’t looking how we envisioned when it was actually drawn out, so we changed designs. I think this bothered the artist a bit because she has to begin drawing something else.Once we got a design that she was happy with the artist placed it on my sister and I commented that it would be upside down if she moved her arm a certain way. This also bothered the tattoo artist and she began giving me attitude asking me where how I would like it placed. I’m sorry but we’re going to have it placed how we want since it is a permanent design going onto my sister’s body.This was all after being quoted one price and then having the manager walk in yelling that we were quoted too low, and that we would have to pay the difference.
I can not express how happy I am with my new piercing! From the moment I walked in they were very professional and discrete about what I was having done. Once the peircing had begun he cleaned and explained everything in front of me for reasurance. I will definitely be recommending friends and family to them!
I got my very first tattoo today and what an awesome experience I had! I made a consultation appointment with Safari and he took it from there. Great vibe, great people and a quality job. It’s apparent that safety, cleanliness and client satisfaction are huge here. My artist was meticulous and easy to work with. I will be back for more—-go here if you are looking for a great experience.
First, very good customer service. Safari and another guy were at the front and spoke to and shared laughs with every customer. Very friendly environment. However, there’s a difference between a tattoo ARTIST and a tattoo DESIGNER. Art is the application of human creative skill and imagination. Design is the arrangement of lines and shapes created to form a decoration. I was treated as a walk in, quoted $1400 for a thigh piece that I expressed meant the most to me and the tattoo DESIGNER arranged the Google I pulled, specifically for reference not to copy, into what he said would be my tattoo. He did not draw a single thing. Artist make something out of inspiration, designers arrange what’s given to them. This shop needs to know the difference and advertise accordingly. I was refunded my deposit so no hard feelings. Otherwise, great shop, high prices, choose wisely!
Came to Orlando for vacation & was very impressed by the professional & laid back crew!! I had my 17 year old daughter (who also got tattooed), 10 year old son, 2 year old son, & 1 year old daughter with me too. Id definitely come back to get tatted again!! Completely made my vacation that much better!
I made an appointment for a nostril piercing with Safari as a birthday present. I arrived with two people accompanying me. We waited about 15 minutes and it turned out that there was an appointment issue on their side so because of this, Safari apologized and took it upon himself to refund the cost of the piercing.The facility itself seemed very clean and the back area was private with curtains for each room. Safari mentioned that he is vaccinated, and invited my brother & friend to come back and watch the piercing process.As soon as I sat down, Safari initially asked if I had eaten anything that morning, concerned for my blood sugar, because this was a big reason why people pass out after the procedure. I was misinformed and read elsewhere that I wasnt supposed to eat before the procedure, so I mentioned I didnt. Safari then gave me a root beer and made sure I drank a good amount of it to prevent me from going into shock after the piercing. He explained it all very clearly and made me feel very safe under his care. He made sure to put on new gloves, a new mask, and had sterile tools. He made the marking with a marker, I picked out the jewelry, and I was satisfied with the prep. There was no time for me to build up anxiety! I sat back down, closed my eyes, he said all right here we go and I felt the needle go through. It was as expected, it hurt for a moment and my eyes watered. After he put in the piercing and took the needle out, he told me to squeeze his arm as hard as I could to determine whether or not I would faint/go into shock. I was fine!Safari provided me with a free sterile saline spray and a comprehensive brochure with steps on how to clean, what to do and not to do, and made sure to let me know that if I have any problems to call them and let them know.My overall experience was great. Safari is a charismatic and genuine guy who will make you feel safe and welcome in his care. I highly recommend going here for any of your piercing needs. I will 100% definitely be back to get my other nostril pierced in the future.
Update---one week later i am still happier than i ever expected. The healing process is just as they told me to expect, and my tattoo looks fabulous. i already cant wait to go back for my next one, and i have a couple of piercings in mind.
Savannah did a great job! She kept me calm during the process and provided recommendations on how to care for my tattoo. I loved everything about this place!
I like this shop a lot. They are friendly, professional, and does quality work. I was nervous going in but they made the experience easy and pleasant. I had no plans of going here, I googled tattoo shops near me and this was the closest. Im glad I found it, I will be going back in the future for more piercings and tattoos.
I will definitely go back! Very professional, sweet, and kind! Clean facility, with a welcoming atmosphere. I took my daughter to get her nose pierced, and the gentleman made sure her experience was a good one!
Amazing experience! My wife got her first tattoo and it came out great! The whole staff was Super Friendly, talking to us in the lobby, we even shared biscuits (Funny Story). Great team and great work! Thank you!
Savannah came thru with translating the idea to reality. It helps when youre working with an artist that understands what youre describing. Instead of going with full color, Savannah made details that would appear best on my skin. End result looks extra clean and detailed in the right way, just as I just envisioned. (Also helped that she had a returning customer showing off more recent work, to which they were very pleased!)
I went with my mom to get her three tattoos from Trap. While I was with her I decided that I also wanted a tattoo and a piercing. It was last minute decision but Savannah jumped right in and took care of me. The tattoo I wanted was special because it had my late brothers initials and I wanted to represent his life on this earth with something that I could look at and live forever. Savannah did such a great job. She was kind, patient, and very talented. I also got a piercing from Trap. He numbed it and I didn’t feel a thing. My mother and I left and was extremely happy with our experience. Black Ink Orlando has such a great atmosphere and crew. You are all amazing. I highly recommend anyone wanting work to book with them. We drove from Jacksonville to get all our work done. Totally worth it. We will be back soon as we want Trap, Savannah, and the Black Ink Crew to do all of our families art work.
I can not begin to explain the experience I had at Blank Ink Orlando with Trap. I had three different c we ups that I wanted to take care of at the same time. Three that when I looked at them I saw sadness, trauma, shame, and guilt from all they represented from my past. I was nervous when I was making the two hour drive to the shop to meet Trap and get my work done. When I got to the shop and felt the atmosphere and met his awesome team all my fears and anxiety had washed away. I knew I had come to the right place. I had been speaking to Trap over the phone as he got to know me and what I wanted my new tattoos to represent. The images that I was shown that were drawn specifically to me was more than ART. It was a clear picture of what I was passionate about and the new meaning to my life and how far I have come. I am so amazed at the outcome. Throughout the night I got to share my experiences in life and where it has taken me and also got to know Trap and pieces of his life journey. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I made a friend for life. We shared laughs, stories of triumph, funny stories, and even created some funny life long memories. Trap I will forever be grateful as I look at the ART OF A MASTER ARTIST on my body. I am even more grateful to have made you someone I call FRIEND.
Safari was very professional. He did my repiercing of my belly button. He was gentle and it didn’t even hurt. I will definitely use Black Ink Orlando again.
I love it here! The piercer and the tattoo artist Trap is bomb! Thank you so much they are the best here! 💕💎🏁🙏🏽
Quick and painless service!! Very clean and private for piercings and I will absolutely be returning. They are awesome!
I had a really great time here, the manager is really friendly and makes the environment so enjoyable, he did my dermal piercing really fast and I also appreciate how he cleaned/sterilized the tools and even burned his hands to make sure he got all the germs off lol.
The staff was accommodating considering that we came right as they were closing and they still gave us service. We got a small tattoo but the artist were on point with what we asked for. S/o to my artist Gabby ❤️ Definitely will be back for the Royal treatment (customer service) Thanks Black Ink for making our date night exceptional.-Da Reeds
Amazing job, my daughter and I got matching tattoos and we LOVE them!! Will be back for more!!
AWESOME STAFF!! The ladies are gorgeous and so sweet. They were patient with me and made the process of getting pierced so easy! Amazing service and I’ll definitely be back!!
SAFARI IS SO PROFESSIONAL AND EXCELLENT AT PIERCING OH AND HE IS SUPER FINE..LOL I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING HERE FOR YOUR TATTOOS AND PIERCINGS 💕💕💕💕
The young lady at the desk was super sweet and professional. I was a nervous wreck but Safari made me feel comfortable! Not to mention he is really funny! The vibe was great - there was another tattoo artist there talking to us and I felt like I was cracking jokes with friends lol. I will be returning there when I am ready for a tattoo :)
On time which was great. Great atmosphere, clean, professional, chill, laid back, great prices. Definitely will be back. Gabi did my tattoo and she did 🔥 Safari is dope also whole vibe is what you want with a tattoo shop
I got a belly button piercing done by Safari at Black Ink. He was super nice and the process was incredibly fast. I’ve already recommended his shop to a friend, and I would recommend it to anyone else looking for a piercing! They also have a numbing agent for piercings if that is something you’re interested in.
Went and got my septum pierced today. Looks awesome!! Safari was my piercing professional and he took excellent care of me.Very professional, clean, and friendly. Everyone greeted me very pleasantly. So happy with the way it came out!! Will definitely be going back for my future tats and piercings.
Had a memorial tatto I wanted done to honor my fellow Marine. These guys not only met my expectations but exceeded them. Trap and the Black Ink Crew are Phenomenal!Doug Lowe
I normally dont do reviews. But I will have to with this one and for that I sincerely apologize, but when you go to a tattoo shop you are entrusting someone to leave a permanent mark on your body. If the tattoo comes out wrong or bad its either laser removal or a cover up. We chose your shop because we read good reviews, we chose the top tattooist because it is your shop. Our appointment was for 12pm, you arrived at 12:30, I didnt sit down until 1:15pm. As an owner/artist if you have a 12pm appointment and open at 12. You definitely should of be their at least 45 min early to set up because that takes time. Once I was seated you began your tattoo, I went first. My sisters were already aggravated because you were late, I waited patiently. But unfortunately you overworked the area on my tattoo, the healing process is not only taking longer that expected, and its not a big tattoo but it is also healing painfully. You can see how deep you went into my tattoo, the color has already faded and its been a week. I am no novice when it comes to getting tattooed as I have a full back piece, and a few others on my body. I know tattoo care and how it should be healing. I spoke to several other artists and they all say the same. So here I am being very cautious with my tattoo so that I dont get an infection. And then after its healed completely, I need to get it reworked on. And I understand if you were upset or annoyed at my sibling, and how vocal she was with your unprofessionalism. But youre an artist, you leave your mark on ppl. Needless to say two sister got tattoos and one didnt. You have to do better, and you might ignore this post and that is ok as well. But I do hope it doesnt happen again.
Savannah’s was great!!! Chris and I love our tattoos..... it was his first and you really relaxed him and took good care of him. Your energy is so pure and authentic!!!! Go check her out people. Hoping only great success hun, see you soon🥰
Staff was real cool and professional. They worked on my piece even as a walk in. They took their time with my drawing and the result was amazing. Trap is crazy talented and will return for future work. They also do amazing cover ups
My family went to Black Ink Orlando to get tattoos commemorating our little brother who was killed this year along with a couple of piercings and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience! Our artist Kayla was wonderful, very talented and patient. My family can be a bit boisterous to say the least and we were treated with nothing but love and respect from the moment we walked in the door. I personally got my septum pierced by the owner Safari who was fast and efficient and I have NOTHING negative to say about this shop! A fond memory for sure and I 100% recommend Kayla at Black Ink Orlando for all of your tattoo needs!
Thanks to Savannah! She did an incredible job! Love my tattoo! Will be back sôn!
Went to have a consultation for a tattoo, but stupidly got the date wrong. Safri was able to see me even though they were about to close. I went with another tattoo than the one I originally wanted and they worked within my price range. Savannah was DOPE. The detail and shading is amazing. Very happy with everything and the service!
I love the fact that they are very professional. I took my 16 yr old son to get a Tattoo for his 17th bday, and I decided to get my nose pierced???
The customer service is outstanding. The shop was clean and smelling good. The tattoo I purchased for my son is amazing and something he will cherish forever.
Walked into this shop yesterday for a full chest piece, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everyone in the shop was real cool, good atmosphere, clean place, professional, all that. And I was well taken care of the whole time. I was in to see Pecous for a piece that had a lot of meaning behind it. Trusted him to create and execute my idea for me and I’m extremely pleased with it. Turned out better than I even imagined. Great place that I’d 100% recommend to anyone needing a tattoo. Will definitely be back in the future 👌🏾
I accompanied my daughter to get a septum piercing. We were greeted promptly as we entered the studio and the receptionist moved us through the paperwork and payment quickly. The pricing is fair. Safari was my daughters piercer. He answered our questions thoroughly regarding the process, the type of piercing materials used, and the cleaning and care of the piercing. Safari did a fine job of providing a clean and painless piercing. He has a great personality, and keeps everyone calm and informed along the way. The whole experience went smoothly and quickly. Black Ink implements excellent safe and sanitary standards in terms of their regular operations, as well as COVID. Safari is a true professional. Ive visited several tattoo/piercing studios throughout the country, and I appreciate the level of professionalism and quality service we received, and the great experience Safari provided for my young lady.
Highly recommend! I just got my tattoo done a few days ago. The place was very clean and the staff was very laid back and friendly. You can tell the artist have a good deal of experience. They were able to take the initial idea I had and make suggestions to improve the look of it. My artist was Terrell and he really took his time and made sure the tattoo came out great! Dont listen to those old reviews. Check these guys out!
My tattoo came out great. Kayla did an excellent job with the line work on my art. She added new ideas and details that made my tattoo stand out. I have plans to return to her for my next tattoo for sure. Blank Ink is ten out of ten and will be recommended to my friends.This was definitely a highlight of my 2020. Support black businesses!
Amazing spot some of the coolest people i have met the piercer hooked me up after i ripped out my old piercing at work, super fast service and the piercing looks great definitely coming back
It was comfy, quick and easy !
Black Ink Orlando got me so right. I love my tat. the service was extremely professional & smooth and all the employees are mad cool. y’all really should check them out. Terrell was my artist & he was hella cool which made me comfortable considering this was my first time trying a different artist outside of my norm. I wanted simple Roman numerals & he executed with no problem. Definitely worth the money if you want QUALITY.
I really enjoyed my experience. I got a septum piercing done by Safari and he did a good job of making sure it was quick and painless. He informed me well about the process and care as well. I would go back to this shop again.
Amazing!!! Super clean and professional!! Definitely coming again :))
Terrell was extremely professional and pleasant. He was engaging and helped to put me at ease. He was efficient and thorough. It was a great experience.
My first time getting a nose piercing I was very nervous. Safari talked me threw it made me comfortable and he was very professional. If your in Orlando go see him !!!!
First nose piercing and I was pumped but also super nervous. Safari was my piercing professional and I couldnt ask for a better person. His energy was everything. Answered allMy questions, made me feel relaxed and honestly if I had to do it again, I would☺️. Amazing experience.
I loveeeee my tattoo that was done by Terrell. He was a perfectionist and I was extremely satisfied with the art! He even threw his gloves back on after he was done to make my tattoo even better out of his own will. The staff was extremely welcoming and friendly! Definitely will be going back in the future. I would recommend this place to all my friends.
If you want Top quality piercings or tattoos Black Ink Orlando is the place to go. I got my cover up tattoo by Ceaser last year and he killed it! Safari did my snake eyes piercing on my tongue, was so smooth with it that he was done before I could even notice!! I highly recommend this shop and wouldn’t go anywhere else!
I went here to receive a tattoo by Trap but when I got there he wasn’t there so Safari introduced a different artist to do my tat. His name was packa. Although Packa was really nice and professional, I don’t appreciate not being called to be informed my original tattoo artist would not be there. I feel like I talked to and built a relationship with Trap, already no matter if the tattoo was simple or not I would have appreciated Trap doing it. I’m not in love with my tat but I don’t hate it. Although I more than likely will not be returning to this shop I wouldn’t not recommend anyone to go here but I will just say confirm your appointment and artist before you go to be sure your artist is there.
Meet with Kayla to get a knee piece done cant say enough good things about her. The attention to detail she put in blew me away. If you have an upcoming session with just know you are in good hands.
This studio is by far the Best!. Safari took his time with me and peirced my septum with precision and ease. My experience was incredible. Im still waiting to feel some pain. Customer service was on point, everything was sterile and done with professionalism. Cant cant say enough. Thank u Black Ink Orlando for GREAT EXPERIENCE. I WOULDNT go anywhere else, I highly recommend them to anyone.
Great Experience. Very fun and welcoming atmosphere. Kayla is amazing. She was very friendly, fun, and talented. Easy conversationalist and she did a great job with my tattoo! I am very pleased!
I came here for an appointment with Slic and Im so happy with my tattoo. He is incredibly sweet and pays a lot of attention to detail. He listened to how I was explaining what I wanted and made sure to incorporate all of it. The shop is clean and laid back, and the staff were all very friendly. Im definitely gonna be back! :)
They caught the best artists n orl its the only shop I use
Safari made my piercing experience unbelievably great. He was very informative, patient and a calm individual. I was nervous about my nose piercing so as he distracted me with our conversation without even knowing he was done. Great strategy man. My visit from Atlanta was well worth it Thank you 👌
First tattoo and Kayla did her thing🤩😛. Super dope artist. Very friendly and comforting, took her time and just was a all around chill experience. Would definitely recommend her and the team. #blackink#dopevibez#adinkrasymbol#allblack
Got my cartilage periced by Safari the manager and he was great. Nice funny guy. Did both ears very quickly and efficiently. I would definitely come back to get more piercings done.
If you are looking for an aesthetically beautiful tattoo this is the place. Ask for Terrell. His shading skills are amazing and hes got a great creative mind to bring your vision to life. So happy with my experience.
The detail is impeccable, Pecous did his thing
I had a butterfly tattoo done by Terrell today and it was gorgeous! I loved the environment and the friendliness he provided and I had a great time! He is a great conversationalist and very detailed with his work, I will definitely be coming back for more tattoos with him :)
I loved my experience at this place! The people were so funny and friendly. I went in for an eyebrow piercing. They sat me in as soon as I came in. They did a great job explaining to me what they were doing and what to do during the healing process. I will definitely be going back!
Safari did an amazing job on my Septum piercing ❤ If I could rate higher, I would. Great attitude and so friendly. Will forever and always come back to Black Ink 💯 Not my first time but also not my last 💯 Yall the best, hands down.
I orginally came here because it was BLACK INK! I walked into a very welcoming warm atmosphere and was greeted by really nice happy people. I had the pleasure of getting my Piercings done by Safari. He was very humorous, professional, and you can tell he has a passion for what he does. Highly recommended, and I definitely enjoyed my visit.
I got my belly piercing, they were quick and clean. The process was painless. They gave great customer service!!!
Great Customer Service. Walked in and was help ASAP. To the tattoo artist to my piercer to the other coworkers, everyone made it a welcoming experience. And I love my tattoo. Quick and Efficient!
I went to this shop two times before while it was good. There was a lady piercer there at the time, she was nice and did the piercings quick and painless, then the third time the decor changed the entire shop vibe changed as well plus the piercer too. Brimstone did my naval piercing without problems which I’m very very pleased. Can’t wait get a tattoo from this very shop. Keep up the bomb work black ink Orlando
From the moment I walked in it was such a comforting feeling. The receptionist was super sweet & helpful. Safari did my piercing & he was professional & quick. He made sure I was satisfied with my piercing before he move on. I would 100% recommend this shop.
It was great! everyone’s so nice.
I really enjoyed getting my tattoo here. I got my first tattoo, and they were nice . They took their time, they were very friendly, good conversation. Good customer service, I would recommend them to anyone!!
Quick. Professional. To the point. Thank you Kayla! - Thanks BlackInk for the hospitality & good vibes. I’ll be back!
Terrell was awesome! Our matching Tats came out great.
Amazing service everyone helped with what I needed, Terrell did an amazing job on my tattoo and was very professional! Highly recommend
I had the pleasure of getting a Hamsa tattoo by Slic last weekend. I wanted it done a specific way, and I appreciate him taking the time to get the design the way I wanted it. He was very courteous & professional. My tattoo came out amazing! I love it! The atmosphere of the shop is amazing, very professional people.
Kayla did a neck piece for me, she’s amazing a great artist very comfortable to be around not heavy handed I recommend her
Gotten a few pieces done by SLiC and again not disappointed. Place was clean, the tattoo came out amazing, and the vibe is always great. Would highly recommend him!
I enjoyed my time at Black Ink. Atmosphere was just like you were kickin it with your crew. My artist was Kayla, and she did the thang. I came in with an idea of what I wanted but told her I was open to suggestions to add on. She edited and refined my idea and brought it to life. Her suggestion brought the price up a little but it wasnt anything I wasnt already willing to pay. I didnt mind because I knew I was paying for quality and thats what I got. If you look at all the artist portfolios, the work speaks for itself. Im already plottin on coming back pretty soon.
Let me just say I love my tattoos and piercings, its my therapy and I’ve had my share for sure. Safari is by far the best piercer I’ve ever dealt with, i didn’t feel a thing! I’ve definitely found my new therapy spot!
People were pleasant, professional, and friendly. Tattoo artist Pecousdid great work on my tattoo design.
They had great customer service! Very professional. Would definitely come back for more and recommend them to others!
I came here to get a nose peircing and it was fast and super easy.
I absolutely LOVE BLACK INK ORLANDO. The customer service is great, the prices are affordable, and the area is perfect for my traffic commute. I get my tattoos done by TRAP/TRAVIS and he always does a superb job on my tats. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place for affordability, good quality work, and great customer service!
Great 1st visit! Slic got me right, he works efficient and is light handed. Finished sooner than the expected time. I am more than satisfied with my experience and will be back again. Thanks Black Ink
Highly suggest. Super chill vibe. The manager Safari is super friendly. The artist Hennessy did an incredible job on my chest piece. Extremely stoked will be back for more.
Got a quote done from slic and would for sure go back .. got plenty more to come ;) thanks to the team of black ink
Slick is the best! Gave me the most perfect black eyed Susan and it exceeding all my expectations! Highly recommend :)
Over priced but everyone was soo nice and I love my piercing .
Took my daughter for a noise piercing. The Receptionist /Piercer was very professional and made my daughter comfortable. Safari was knowledgeable and explain every step to my daughter while piercing her nose. All went well and she is happy with her new look.
Got a bicep Tat from Terrell...highly recommend going there. They make your idea pop!
Brandon(my artist), Trap, and Safari were great! First time getting tatted and they helped make it a really cool experience! Ended up getting 2 tattoos!
Best tattoo place in town
Love this place❤️
At first we were appreciative of your workers purchasing from our event the Brazilian Church of Love was having. They were polite & even though there was a language barrier we communicated well. But we were VERY disappointed when some decided to put on a mask & run through our event screaming. I don’t know about others religion our culture but it was very disrespectful. We worked really hard to have successful events and so the disrespect was a slap in the face for our people. This truly offended the elders and scared some of the children hopefully this form of DISRESPECT will never happen again thank you.
Kayla was my artist and she is spectacular. Everyone was so friendly and professional.
