Went here to get a tattoo. Theyre supposed to open at 12pm and werent open and had a car blocking the entrance. Decided to go to Cherry Bomb tattoo in Vinton and they have great people working there. If you want a place that will be open on time I do NOT recommend here. Super happy with my piece I got at a different place. Ugh! So frustrating to go to a place that wasnt open during business hours. If youre going to have it posted from 12-9 then you should be open from 12-9.

Donnie did my sons first tattoo today and he did an awesome job. He was patient and very easy to talk to. The establishment was very clean and professional and the staff were amazing. Highly recommend if you are looking for a tattoo.

DEBBI did my neck tattoo & it only took 2 sessions. This piece means SO much to me, holds a lot of meaning. Highly recommend her for all your tattoo needs! I’ve also always gave her good tips, & she would take off some of the price on my tattoo! She’s great. Which a cute accent, lol !

Donnie was my tattoo artist today and I just want to thank him for the amazing work he did for me. It was to remember my dad and he capture his hand writing perfectly.

Awesome atmosphere, they make you feel comfortable.. Debi is my artist of choosing and I absolutely recommend her, 1,000 times over again! I have never gone to another person after she laid ink on me. She seriously has the easiest/lightest hand Ive ever had. If they had 10 stars Id give it to all of them!

Eric did a pretty good and thorough job of giving me my tattoo. He was sanitary about it as well.

I got my septum pierced here yesterday. The piercing itself was almost painless, however the piercer wasnt very personable. The apprentice was friendlier than the piercer was. He did however inform me what was going on & when. Ive been here before for other stuff & Ill recommend them.**Important note.. theyre cash only now & all their face piercings are $10 extra due to Covid.

I went to skin thrills for a piercing and Rob was great. He explained the process and made it quick and (relatively) painless. They use high quality materials and the place seemed clean. I’m just over 2 weeks out and healing much better than I expected. The guy at the front desk was an apprentice and is also very nice and knowledgeable. They charged a very fair price and I’d recommend Rob for piercings to anyone!

Skin Thrills is ran very efficiently. They put the other guys to shame. I won’t even attempt to go anywhere else from now on.

Ive always gone to Skin Thrills because its right by my house. Rob is definitely my favorite piercer theyve ever had. Hes very quick, and every piercing he does heals fast and with no problems. Ive also gotten a lot of tattoos there. My fiance and I both use Charlie and Deb. We couldnt be happier with their work, and well definitely keep coming back. Youve got a great team at Skin Thrills!

Kody is one of the best tattoo artist I have ever been to. Down to earth guy who will honestly listen to what you want and give you exactly that. 3 tattoos from him and many more in the future. 10/10.

Review №18

I have been a loyal customer to Kody for years now but after today I will never go back. Made an appointment for 12:30. Received a call saying he was behind and for me to come at 1:30. Sat in the shop and waited until 4:30 when we were told he had to redraw the piece and would have to reschedule. Im very disappointed by this because Ive ONLY used him for years. Guess Im looking for a new artist now.

This shop will not disappoint you!!! The experience backs it up!!! My daughter has gotten pierced and tattooed by the best in this shop!! Rob has over 20 years in experience in piercing and did a wonderful job piercing my daughter and very professional! As well as all the tattoo artist here that have years upon years of experience!! Each artist has been tattooing for a long time and all have there own styles. I would rather pay an extra dollar then have something done the incorrect way and have to go back to have it fixed!! I have tattoos by Skin Thrills I have had for over 10 years and never once had to be touched up and honestly looks like it was done yesterday! My daughter has also been tattooed and just beautiful line work and color that will last a lifetime. Skin Thrills hands down is the best in the Valley!

Review №23

I just had a nose piercing done and the gentlemen was great. Explained exactly what he was going to do prior to piercing. Charlie was my tattoo artist and he cared and listened to me if what I was wanting done and showed me the stencil beforehand and we talked things out. He did two new tattoos for me and even did a third one I had that needed retouched as I had it for 30 years and all three tattoos came out beautifully. Coming back for a touch up of a fourth one I have and talked about ideas. Zach that is at the front desk was great to talk and it was a great time and would reconvene this place highly. Very nice clean place and everyone is very professional and kind! 💕

Debbie is the best tattoo artist I have found. She has done all but one of my tattoos. She is very friendly and does a damn good job on the tattoos. She is not heavy handed and makes sure she is perfect on all her work. Before moving up here 6 months ago I used to drive 3 hours just to have her do the tattoos. Wherever Debbie goes I will follow.

Awesome atmosphere with great employees. This is my most trusted studio in the area and my family has went to this shop for over a decade now. Its very clean and the artists are very skilled and talented with the most fair pricing Ive seen. People often complain about how much getting a tattoo cost but if you want quality then you have to pay for it. Walk in with an idea and walk out blown away with a beautiful custom piece of art. I recommend anyone looking for new ink or a new artist to check this place out. You wont be disappointed

Review №32

I went with my girlfriend and one other friend for their black friday $30 deal, yes it was my first time there but I have to say the artist were great and very professional. They made sure everything was cleaned and sterilized. Best of all being a cheap price for a tattoo the quality I feel like was great, we had an amazing artist with a great personality and she did a wonderful job if you havent been here yet i recommend it.

Skin Thrills did a great job on myfriend and I’s piercings. It was our first time going there and I will be returning anytime i want any other piercings. The staff was very friendly and conversational, and the prices were very reasonable and cheaper than surrounding studios. My piercer was also very nice and made me feel comfortable. Finally, the studio was very organized and clean!

I visited skin thrills on 07/20/2018 for my second piece completed here. I had a cover up completed by Eric who was absolutely amazing. He did everything possible to make us feel comfortable and explained the entire process of my cover up before getting starting. I showed Eric a picture of what I wanted my tattoo to resemble and he went above and beyond my expectations! I am so pleased with my tattoo and have been receiving compliments since I left the shop. My new piece is one of a kind and I couldn’t be happier with the work that Eric did. I would definitely recommend Eric and the other artists at Skin Thrills for a first timer or the repeat customer.

Best pricing in the Valley. Had a tattoo done in honor of my Grandmother, I was simply overwhelmed with the beauty and detail that Mr Cody did.

I just wanted to take a moment and say how absolutely amazed I was at this place. I was extremely comfortable as a woman in her 20s thats a big deal but as soon as I walked into the shop it was extremely clean, and everyone was extremely nice and helpful. This is one place Id highly suggest. Thank you for my new level of confidence! You guys rock!! ♡

Review №51

I’ve been pierced/tattooed at other shops but this one is the best! Steven is the best piercer I’ve ever met, and probably the only man I’d trust to shove needles through my face skin. Tattoos are reasonably priced. I’ve had two different tattoo artists here. The first one did a small ankle piece I had originally wanted on my foot, but he explained it would fade and we should do it somewhere else. The second one was an add-on to a sternum piece I got elsewhere, and it looks amazing. It’s a completely different piece and I love it! Also, piercing deals are very common here which is nice as a college student.

I decided to go for a walk-in tattoo late-ish one night (tonight) and the people there were so nice I couldn’t believe it. The woman who did my tattoo, Debi, talked to me about options for my tattoos and was very patient while I was trying to decide on the font and spacing. She was SO GOOD I love her so much I will definitely be going to her for all of my future tattoos. Then... because my tattoo was so cheap, among checking out I decided to get my naval pierced. The woman, the piercers wife helping me with jewelry, was so nice it was so wonderful. Her husband is the only piercer there and he, Morguen, was absolutely amazing. I cannot type amazing and excellent service enough times on this review. The shop was extremely clean and they were so professional. It was a wonderful experience. If I could give them over 5 stars I would. If any of you are reading this.. thank you so much! I’ll be back!

I went today to get another piercing and a tattoo done, I ended up only getting a tattoo done by Jason. I would recommend this place over anything. Jason is a very down-to-earth person, but most importantly he listens to what you want, where you want it & how you want it.I will be returning for more tattoos and piercings!

Review №64

Employees were rude, and not welcoming. There were several people in the room with the guy piercing my belly button. They’re having a conversation with him while he’s rushing to pierce my belly button not speaking to me at all. It was infected for 2 weeks, the ring kept falling out through the bottom hole. When I called and asked to speak with someone they were rude, and told me they have the best piercer around and that it was probably my fault it was infected. I would never go here again.

Ju
Review №65

Skin Thrills is very professional, clean, and reasonable priced. I had several piercings done here and recommended them to my friends as well. All my piercings usually get infected, but when I got them done at Skin Thrills, they healed perfectly! I totally recommend them to anyone.

I dont even see why they have competition. This is the best place Ive ever been to get any tattoo or piercing. Theyre professional, prompt, creative, detailed. I love this place so much that if I moved to a different country and wanted a new tattoo, Id fly back just here just to get it from Skin Thrills.

Review №67

Atom is the only professional piercer I recommend in the Roanoke valley. His personality makes the experience that much easier but his skill is why I continue to go back/recommend him. Make sure you have your I.D and cash (no cards) in hand and your piercing experience will be quick and painless.

We went in on March 23rd to make an appointment, spent an hour requesting a vintage open pocket watch with our sons birth info in it. When we went in, we spoke with the girl at the front and another gentleman because the artist was busy. We had two appointments because I was getting something separate set for today, April 27th at 12:30 and 5:30. We arrived at the shop today around 12, and were told that our first appointment had gotten pushed to 5:30 as well. No one called to say. So we spent 5 hours waiting around town to go back at 5:30. During that time the girl at the front text me asking for the time that was supposed to go on the watch because they didn’t have that info (although we had given all info on 3/23). We show back up at 5:30, the artist and the front desk girl came out of this office with the below photos. The first is the photo reference we gave. The second is something that literally looks copied and pasted from google. None of the birth info we requested was in there (other than his initials and time), nothing was even close to what he had asked for.I would NOT recommend Skin Thrills. The experience was terrible. We did get a refund, however we wasted a month waiting for a terrible disappointment. OH AND we NEVER actually got to speak to the artist although we requested to several times to try and get it all worked out but were just given excuses.

Had nipples done about 2 years ago now from this place, had been wondering about getting a PA done.

My experience with Skin Thrills tattoo parlor was one.of the best experiences I have ever encountered. Everyone, (Griz, Brandon, Mike, Steve, Jerry, and Jason), had contributed to the best outcome possible.. Their courtiuos and southern hospitality made me feel right at home. Coming from California, I would recommend Skin Thrills to all my friends and associates.. Nothing short of a 5 star rating in my book. I plan on returning as soon as possible.

Jerry kazy is the man. Spur of the moment he decided he could draw my tattoo and then put it on my body for me. He doesnt do that at all.

Was recommended by a friend, the first appt i drove an hour to the shop only to find they couldnt print stencils that day. I was not called and notified of this a wasted trip. Made another appt three weeks later and was called the night before and told cody the artist had not drawn up the work and was canceled on again. The girls working the front are ditzy and seem to have no brains or talent. They were upset I didnt want to setup a third appt. When I asked for my deposit money back for the appt was told that was not possible. My friend or I will never have work done from this incompetent shop again.

Attitude was horrible. Went to look for finger tattoos. Was told only one person does that and the chick couldnt identify whos book was whos. Then the guy came in rushed a conversation on how he cant do it all the way around and then told me someone else does then as well. Not professional and very rude staff!!
