Nico did an excellent job on my tattoo. He did the outline first then 2 weeks later did my color. Went back 2 weeks later and got one with no color. Great atmosphere very clean. Im sure Ill be going back for more.
I REGRET coming here. I got a matching tattoo with my girlfriend and we decided to go with a sunflower. Our tattoo artist name was “Dragon”. The tattoo was horrible, literally HORRIBLE!!!!!!! It scabbed up so bad that the ink came off as if he was going over the same spot numerous times. The part where it scabbed was so deep into our skin. He forgot to even color in the leaf on part of the sunflower. The middle of the sunflower doesn’t even look right, it looks like a nipple. Literally no detail at all looked nothing like the picture that was shown to him. Had to wait when getting there on time for the appointment because he needed to smoke his cigarette. I hope I find someone soon who can cover it up. Good luck to whoever goes here cause I don’t understand how this place even has a high rating. Will be posting pictures soon of the tattoo to whoever sees this comment when looking at the images for this place
I had a wonderful experience. The piercer was incredible with my 6 year old daughter getting her very first ear piercings. She then was awesome with me as I got my second nostril piercing. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning!
Decided to get a piercing short notice.I was worked in within an hour.Alyssa was the young lady who performed the job. She was extremely professional and her work area was immaculate.
Having lived in Wilmington in previous years, the majority of my tattoos have come from Artists there and I can say given all my experiences I would highly recommend Ink Therapy. I have always traveled back to get any work done, until yesterday when I sought out Ink Therapy for a special tattoo. Ink Therapy is clean and professional. Alysse was our Tattoo artist and was able to convey our grandmothers handwriting on each of my sisters arms perfectly. Given how special our grandmother was to us, Im thankful to have found an artist that could excecute this. Alysse is easy to work with, professional and I would definitely sit in her chair again. Thank you!
I went in the other day for a piercing special they are having for Valentine’s Day. Alyssa did an amazing job with all three piercings that I received! I love the way they look and would 10/10 recommend anyone to her! Thanks again girl!
Drove my sister an hour to get a small tattoo and no one wanted to do it when the shop was empty. We called in advance to driving there and my sister was told they could get her in. Alyssa was super nice . But overall I was disappointed that no one else was very friendly. I was refered there by a friend who got a sleeve done. But will not be going back . She ended up getting her tattoo done at Twisted Sixes in durham. It looks great !
Got a tattoo done here they are good!!
I’m very pleased with the service I received. The environment was pleasant and comfortable. I will definitely go again.
Thank you for helping with my piercing emergency Alyssa!
Great customer service, loved the artwork. Dragon was our artist. My daughter loved hers too.
I came here to have my septum pierced. When I arrived they didnt have any basic jewelry for the piercing, so I had to run to another close by shop to get a horseshoe or wait until the next day. Well Alyssa walked me through the process and was very professional and clean, just upon getting the piercing it was crooked and off center. I had a friend who currently has a septum look at it and she unfortunately agreed.Ink Therapy issued me a refund.
Loved customer service ! Very helpful, I got my septum pierced and Alyssa, I think that’s her name, talked me through everything! 10/10 recommend. Definitely will be coming back for my tattoos and more piercings
It was a really clean shop and great people! Was a walk in for a small tattoo and were super accommodating. Totally recommend stopping in!
5 stars!!! All the staff were very friendly, attentive, and professional. I got two piercings and Robert made the experience very pleasant; quick and painless! The placement was perfect; he paid great attention to detail; and demonstrated great aseptic technique. I will definitely going back!!!
Ink Therapy is very dope! Nico Boncales does amazing work and is an avid supporter of local entities. Not only did he design a graphic for my bands EP, but he put it on my skin (which looks amazing), and he let us put on an EP release party/show at his shop! Ink Therapy also sets up a vendor spot at the brewery I work at here in town on our First Fridays. Local support at its finest, and tattooing at its finest. Definitely go get some ink here!
They we’re really quick and great for my first ever nose piercing! such a chill and calm environment and i totally recommend them!
Clean shop, great team of people here. Fit me in for a small tattoo and very easy to work with :)
I was trying to get an estimate to get a small matching tattoo with a friend from out of town and was told there was a $50 chair fee, non refundable and doesnt go towards the cost of the tattoo. For a small tattoo that really wouldnt make it worth it. Never heard of a chair fee before 🤷♀️
I went for my first tattoo and the experience was great. The tattoo is awesome. Excellent service by Dragon. The shop was very clean. Will definitely go back for more in the future.
Got a Monroe piercing and that night it fell out while I was sleeping cause the piercing they used was to short..
Nico is a great tattoo artist. My entire experience with him was very enjoyable, relaxed, and professional. He was so patient with me even when I asked him to redraw the tattoo multiple times and make little changes here and there about spacing and placement. He waited for me to be completely satisfied with the design and the position on my skin before tattooing. I was probably a difficult client due to my perfectionism, but he was just chill and enthusiastic with me the whole time. I got my first and second tattoos with Nico, and I’m planning out my third now.
Absolutely best shop Ive been to. A lot of shops make it seem like theyre doing you a favor instead of you being a paying customer but not here. Fun and friendly enviornment. Exceptional work from Mr. Dragon and will be going back for all my future work.
I went here to get a memorial sleeve for my fiancé that was killed back in May. Nico took my idea and has turned it into an absolutely beautiful piece. He’s a great artist and loves the work that he does. The atmosphere in the shop is awesome, you truly feel welcomed when you walk in there. Will definitely be back.
The shop is very awesome the staff are very friendly and professional. Had a custom job done on my hand and I am totally satisfied and happy with my new collection, well definetly come back and get more done. I am so happy to have found this shop. Thank you again Nico.. will be back again..
Nico is literally the best! I was planning on using another shop to get my half sleeve in memory of my father but I went there to watch a friend get her tattoo and loved his work so I booked an appointment with him and I couldn’t be more grateful for the time, effort, and thought that he put into my tattoo! His enthusiasm about his work was probably my most favorite part, he was just as excited about the finished product as I was! Can not wait for to go back and get more work done!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I got my belly button done here and honestly it was fantastic! Rob was my piercer and he made me feel so safe and secure. I was scared but he helped keep me calm (I have a slight fear of needles). Fantastic pricing and everyone was very polite! Also did a great job with replacing a nose piercing for my friend. Great place!
My second tattoo at Ink Therapy. I love the shop atmosphere and how clean and organized it is. Nico is super talented and really puts his heart into the work. While you sit in the super comfortable chair getting your ink, there is a big flat screen for you to watch. Get your ink and catch up on Netflix you’ve missed! Best of both worlds.
Nico is awesome. I have only used him since finding him! He did amazing on a matching tattoos with my mother and a cover up! You cant even see what used to be there! His work is always amazing! It is also very nice to go to a shop that is not only clean but where you feel comfortable and not out of place! I recommend him to everyone I know looking for a tattoo artist!
Dragon has done a lot of my tattoos He is amazing with great pricing too My youngest son just turned 18 and wanted a tattoo Guess who done it No other than Dragon A month ago Dragon done my birthday tattoo I wanted I have bragged to all my friends and family about how Dragon does great work and I would tell anyone who wants one to go to Dragon
Amazing service, Nico is really one talented artist, he took my idea and turned into something beautiful, and original. If youre looking to get a tattoo, I would not recommend any other place but Ink Therapy. Fun environment, and exceptional costumer service.
Got a tattoo today from Nico. Looks amazing! He did such a great job. Even with me messing up the stencil twice.
I enjoy Nico and his atmosphere in his shop. At Nicos shop you are not treated like money walking in the door, as well as the professionalism of the shop staff. They will do anything to help you out on custome work or picking out that special piece you want thankyou Nico an I will continue to get my work done here an only here, thanks again cant wait to get another pieace...
