Autumn was AMAZING (&crazy lol.. in the best way possible). She did my second nose hole. Super professional, funny, knows her stuff to the T! Makes your time there worthwhile. Walks you through literally everything. Makes sure you love what you’re getting before you get and makes sure you like the outcome before you leave. 10/10 recommend Autumn!

I’m extremely happy with my first tattoo. Libby was flexible, friendly, and sociable; just overall great. At first, I was apprehensive about whether I could find a shop that could do a colored tattoo on darker skin, but Libby was knowledgeable and gave me color options that she thought would fit best for my ladybug. The price was also more than reasonable, based on the size and time it took. I honestly have nothing to complain about. I’ll be back again for sure ;) Thank you!

Lengthy Post:I went with two of my friends to receive septum piercings on 6/12/2021. I previously had my septum pierced in 2017 at Gifted Styles (tattoo & piercing) in Raleigh near Wake Forest Rd and the piercer did a horrible job. He went straight through the thickest part of my cartilage and caused me extreme pain to the point where I was in tears. The end result was awful and the piercing was entirely too low and rested on my lip and was not what I had expected. I showed him a reference photo BEFORE he pierced, he reassured me he could do it, and then did not give me what I asked for. I ended up taking the piercing out the same day due to the pain. I have wanted a septum piercing practically all my life, but was hesitant to try again after my previous incident. After one of my friends did some online research, we found Conspiracy Ink Tattoos. I explained my hesitation to Autumn, and she did a fantastic job at walking me through the piercing, physically feeling for the sweet spot, and piercing with ease. She made me feel comfortable, practiced good sanitation measures, and overall provided a great service at a great price. I am extremely happy with my septum piercing and it looks exactly the way I wanted it to look back when I first tried in 2017. My two friends also loved their septum piercings that they received with me from Autumn. Thank you once again, we will certainly be back!

Got a nose piercing here from Autumn. She was really helpful and it was evident she that she really cares about the customer and did a great job. Overall a great place with an awesome personal feel. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for piercings or tattoos.

Conspiracy Ink is amazing! I came here to get my cartilage and third ear-lobe piercings. I chose to come on a Saturday for the walk-in piercing service and the entire process went very smoothly. There was a wait time of only 15 minutes which was nice. I got my ears pierced by Autumn and she was very kind. She walked me through the entire aftercare process and also explained each jewelry option very thoroughly. When I went in to get the actual piercing, the process was painless and easy. Autumn talked me through the whole process and made sure I didn’t feel dizzy or sick after each piercing. She was also very patient during the piercing placement process and made sure that I liked where the piercing would be made before she actually used the needle. The studio itself was very clean. Multiple measures were taken to ensure the studio was COVID free, including mandatory masks and hand washing as soon as you enter the studio. Also, just an FYI for everyone, the studio is cash only, so make sure to bring cash for your payment. However, if you don’t have cash on you, there is an ATM right downstairs. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience with Autumn at Conspiracy Ink and I would highly recommend this studio to anyone looking to get a piercing.

Autumn is great with piercings. I had my rook done and it was very quick and painless. Definitely recommend going there.

Autumn did my nose piercing, she did a great job of walking me through the process including making it as painless as possible. I got it done nearly four weeks ago and have had zero negative side effects, no infection, swelling, anything! The aspect of it being a female owned business made me feel very safe in there. Autumn was also very patient and let us wait so that my friend could be there for the process. Thank you Autumn!

Really happy with my experience! Jessica did a great job listening to what I wanted and making sure I was happy with the placement and end result.

Oh my GOD, this was incredibly amazing! They were so clean, nice, and patient. I got my first piercing, my bridge, and they went over all the aftercare and everything so well. I will be coming back for any piercing needs! Thank you so much!

This establishment is located on the second floor above a restaurant (the name escapes me). The only thing I dont like about the establishment is the sulfur smell that stings your nose and engulfs your lungs when you first come through the door. You may gag the first three minutes or struggle to breath.What I do enjoy however, is the tattoo artist. If youre looking for an amazing and talented tattoo artist that uses vegan ink, look no further than Libby at Conspiracy Ink. I was referred to Libby by a co-worker whose ink looked fresh on chocolate covered skin. I was blown away by not only the art but the fact that she offered vegan ink. You can expect Libby to be feisty and sweet, communicative, and gifted at what she does. I highly recommend you see her for your first tat and let her know Ruthie sent you.

I had a wonderful experience with Conspiracy Ink Tattoos. I have two tattoos done by Libby and I am extremely satisfied. She is a very talented artist and the shop is spotless. It was extremely easy to make an appointment over email and I did not have to wait for months to get in like some other places I called. The prices are extreme reasonable for the beautiful and professional work that they do. I will definitely be coming back again.

Super awesome! Got two peircings today and the whole experience was great!

Autumn is so sweet and great at what she does! She was extremely helpful both on the phone and in person during my visit. Covid precautions are fully in place (masks, sanitizing surfaces, hand washing for both parties) which made me feel even more at ease. Also huge bonus points for being female owned! I can’t wait for my next visit!

A few months ago a friend and I came in to get cartilage piercings. After watching my friend get her ear pierced with no issue I assumed my piercing (conch) would also be no problem.... WRONG! She got the needle though my ear no problem but once she got the needle in she man handled my ear, painfully, for at least 10 minuets trying to get the jewelry in.Now i have over 15 pricing and NEVER have I had a piercer cause me such pain, while also providing me no assurance as to why Im feeling discomfort during the process. The only thing she could say about the whole experience was that she didnt mean to hurt me which wasnt a great consolation as I assumed that is the bare minimum in terms of a piercers intention.Fast forward to 2 days ago, I had to go to Urgent Care to have the earring medically removed from me ear because the jewelry inserted was too short and it became imbedded in my ear. This issue could have been easily avoided had the piercer inserted a more appropriately sized piece of jewelry initially according to the medical professional who had to remove my jewelry.The jewelry being too short for my ear was clearly indicated by the difficulty she had when trying to insert it into my ear and I am extremely disappointed that rather than change to a different piece of jewelry then and there, the piercer chose to ignore the clear issue, cause me pain, and subsequently cause me to require medical attention.Overall, really disappointing experience. Would not recommend this establishment, especially with Raleighs abundance of reputable tattoo and piercing shops.

Autum had done my septum piercing, she was very professional, made sure everything was clean and good! She also talked me through the whole procedure of what she was doing, which made me feel 100x comfortable! I will definitely be coming back !

These were admittedly my first tattoos, and Ive wanted to get them for years and they somehow look even better than I had even dreamed. Thank you so much Robin!!

Went in for a helix piercing, called before I came and had no wait time. The shop is very clean and sanitary. Autumn was AWESOME! She made me feel super comfortable and she definitely knows what she is doing. I had a great experience and will for sure be coming back!

Got nose, and tragus...then went back for daith and rook, made it as painless as it could be. And I scream every time and they calm me down. 😊 Going back for second love and helix .....the piercer here Autumn is awesome!! Wait and it is female owed ...what!!!! 😝😊

Libby has always given me exactly what Ive asked for. Her work is beautiful and she provides sketches beforehand which some artists dont. Her deposit is minimal and fair. Her ballpark pricing helps a great deal and she is so easy to work with. She is never judgemental and is also honest; knows what shes doing and will tell you what works and gives suggestions for things that work best for your design. Shes my go to artist and I cant recommend her enough!

Got 2 piercings done with Autumn. She was great! Communicated everything well, and made me super comfortable. The piercings look great!

Clean, personal, all female-operated, very clear directions and aftercare. Located above Flying Saucer

A couple of badass ladies who know their way around a needle work here. Easily the best tattoo experience Ive had. Libby has given me my favorite piece so far. They care about their art and are willing to work with you to make sure you end up with exactly the tattoo you want. When I get another itch for ink, I know just where Im going.

All female staff very experienced in piercing and tattooing.

The staff is very friendly and helpful but both of my tattoos did not end up as I intended. The colors were not blended well, the lines were not crisp, and instead of going back to the same place to tweak the original I should have gone elsewhere that does more skillful cover ups and listens to what I want.

Jessica was great. She went over and above helping me maximize the design and making sure I was comfortable. Loved supporting this woman owned business!

Very knowledgable, friendly & accommodating...definitely will be going back!!

Autumn did an amazing job with my septum piercing!

Fabulous experience for my first tattoo. Libby took the time to understand what it was I wanted. Shes definitely a professional and sent me a drawing so that I could approve it before my appointment. I feel absolutely confident that everything was immaculately clean. I now have a beautiful piece of art on my arm that I will cherish forever. Thank you Libby!

Robin did sister tattoos for me and my sister and our sister in law. She was phenomenal! High quality work and great conversationalist. Not my first tattoo, but I will come back here for any more that I get.

Ive been going to Robin for about five years now and I leave happy every damn time. Shes easy to work with, hilarious to talk to, and extremely talented. She listens to what I want but isnt afraid to tell me no when something wont turn out well or wont fit the way I think its going to. The shop itself is clean and welcoming -- definitely a great place for people who have been scared off by other tattoo shops. I recommend Conspiracy Ink and Robin to anybody I know whos even vaguely considering getting work done!!!

Absolutely incredible. I would give it 10 stars if I could. The cleanest lines I have ever seen on a tattoo. Amazingly clean too. Also Libby was incredibly nice and such a joy to work with. This is the best tattoo I have ever gotten. (Also they have vegan ink)

My friend and I took our 17 yr old daughters to Robin for their nose piercings 3 months ago. As we are pretty conservative, this was a big deal for us moms. The experience was really fun. We took pics and videos. Robin was fantastic in every way. The nose piercings healed perfectly, which was my main concern. It never turned red or showed any sign of it being a new piercing. It looks really cute! Great experience!! 😁

Robin is awesome. Went in for 2 small tattoos on my arms. She made great conversation and really made me feel comfortable. Highly recommend this place, and Robin! The tattoos came out great.

Woman owned and operated by amazing artists who are all-around wonderful human beings. The shop location is awesome (above the Flying Saucer) and clean, making appointments is easy, and the prices are great. The only tattoos I have that werent done by Libby is the one from my 18th birthday and the one that Libby already covered. Shes particularly gifted with watercolor and flowers too if thats what youre after.

This was my second tattoo and all I could say was amazing!! The staff was nice and the prices were amazing!! And they offer a military discount which is always fantastic! This is my new tattoo place from now until I go back home in 2020

Great place to get a tattoo. Clean and well managed. The communication was amazing. The artist really worked to make the tattoo what you want. The price was incredibly fair. Gove yourself plenty of extra time to find parking as the shop is in downtown Raleigh.

Great experience. Would absolutely return.

This review is intended to serve everyone, but in particular I wanted to highlight my experience getting a tattoo for the first time in case there are others out there who were a little nervous and not fully in-the-know, like me!I recently had my first tattoo completed by Robin and I have to say I could not be happier with her work! First of all, the shop atmosphere is relaxed, cozy, and very clean. My initial consultation meeting with Robin was very informative and she took the time to educate me on the basics of tattoos as well as help me put the finishing touches on my idea. She is relaxed, but very professional, which made the experience truly great. She was very upfront with what to expect for the tattoo and the process itself and made herself available to me for any questions prior to getting the tattoo done.As a small side note, Robin also uses only vegan inks, which I really appreciate. Overall 5/5 stars, definitely recommend and will absolutely being going back in the future.

Libby and Robin were incredibly accommodating, and for someone experiencing their first ever tattoo, I could not have asked for a more welcoming and informative session. The shop is bright, clean, and fun. They took me and several of my friends on a few days notice, and every single person left happy.I definitely recommend Conspiracy! My tattoo looks fantastic.

Jessica was friendly, polite and did great work. Customer service is in point. Thx, Jessica.

Libby did my tattoo and made a true work of art that I will cherish the rest of my life. It was a complex piece: a Celtic Cross with elements of five of my family crests worked into it. I had searched far and wide and had many negative experiences --that is, until I met Libby. She is first and foremost a professional. She runs a clean and organized shop where one is made to feel most welcome. She is also an accomplished and highly talented artist. Her work demonstrates this quite clearly. She is also a very hard worker, and I could not have been more pleased with the total of eleven-and-a-half hours total she put into my piece. And for the reasonable price she asked, I could not have been more satisfied and amazed with what she was able to create. I unhesitatingly urge anyone seeking a first-rate work of tattoo art to seek out Libby and her staff at Conspiracy Ink. You will come away with an unsurpassable work of tattoo art, and you will definitely find someone to whom you will return for any future art you wish to add to your living canvass. I have nothing but superlative praise for this shop and the artist at its helm!!

Back in August of 2016 Libby did an amazing job of a 3D butterfly on my foot. I have been to other parlors where the artist are arrogant and rude and love to make you wait for months to give them your money. That was not the case here. It took about 3 wks from first contact to my completed work and I enjoyed the whole experience. I have been and will continue to recommend Conspiracy Ink as THE place to have yourself inked. S/N Libby is an amazing artist on canvas as well!

My experience here was amazing. My friend and I went here for nose piercings. My mom came as well. Libby and the girls were so friendly. She told us EVERYTHING we needed to know. My mom is going back Wednesday to get her tattoo done. I highly recommend Conspiracy Ink!!!! Tattoos to anyone!

Libby is the best. She did an awesome job for me and my roommates!

Libby and Robin are very talented artists! and fantastic ladies just to hang out with. Libby did a cover up on my shoulder that was an old and not so pretty black panther.. I NOW have a beautiful sunflower and you cant tell that there was a panther there!Dont take my word for it... Go check them out!

Just got the first half of a back tattoo with Robin. She integrated my ideas and created beautiful original artwork. She was welcoming, fun and did an amazing job on the tattoo. Cant wait to go back and get it finished! I am a very happy customer- Lisa Allred

The girls were very friendly and their shop was very nice and cozy, had a nice atmosphere. I was hoping that Libby would be great and had a massive amount of ink I wanted done. We started with some simple things and I have to say that I am highly disappointed in what I saw in the sketches. It seemed as if very minimal effort was put into both of them, I asked for 3 very important elements. One of which was simply to make an octopis tentacle wrap around my arm instead of being awkwardly pointed upward like a cheesy sticker. From the looks of both sketches she did for me, I would say she definitely just traced the google image I sent her.If thats the kind of tattoo you want then Im sure it would be executed fairly well. I was however under the impression they did custom tattoos. Unfortunately when I asked that she change a couple things, I was informed that I should find someone else to do the job.Im giving them a poor review simply bc no effort was put forth in nearly 6 months. Very disappointed and will not use them again.

Had a great experience here, would highly recommend it. Robin did my tattoo, a complex walk-in piece, and she was AWESOME. It looks fantastic! Will definitely be coming back

Awesome artists, love my tattoo, exactly what I wanted.

Very welcoming, friendly atmosphere. So happy with my tattoo! Robin is amazing!!

All of my tattoos are from Robin. She is amazing.

Robin beautifully designed a meaningful piece for me, and it turned out amazing. I will be returning to her to fix my older tattoo soon, and for future pieces.

Awesome experience, would recommend to anyone wanting a custom tattoo. Wonderful service and great artist.

Love Libby and Robin! Quality work all-around, centrally-located, no bs, and responsible artists!

I did a piercing there and the girl was very professional. The environment is clean and isnt an underground place. I will back!

Wow great artists

Bar none, one of the elite parlors on the East coast, Libby is the best

Great place, love the atmosphere

Amazing artists

Rude, work is subpar.

Libby is awesome!!!!
