I had my first tattoo designed by Robie Sayan back in 2013, and was happy enough with it that i decided--in 2024--to expand upon it. I was happy with his designs, professionalism, and bedside manner over ten years ago. Yet hes kept on top of industry advancements, honed his artistry, and gained even more experience since then. So glad i came back!
Robie has done many of my beautiful pieces and added to my sleeve over time. He matches the style I look for and makes sure I feel comfortable throughout the process. Hes very open to creative input and Im looking forward to more!
Robbie is an amazing artist that listens, provides excellent ideas and work, and creates one of a kind pieces you are proud to own. He is very fast and considerate of pain tolerance and makes you feel comfortable and safe during the entire experience. The rates are exceptionally well priced and the shop is spotless. Most of all, there is a true sense of pride and collaboration.working with you every step of the way to get a piece that you are happy and proud to have.
I cant even begin to tell how stoked I am about my ink journey with Robbie. Hes got mad skills! The dudes like a wizard with his clean lines and dot work – my full back tattoo is living proof! Hes not just an artist; hes a collaborator, helping me mix and match patterns like a boss. Plus, hes all about making sure youre comfortable.
Ive been wanting to get my first tattoo for a few years now, but I kept hesitating because I couldnt find the right artist for the style I wanted. I went to a few tattoo studios and kept getting treated like I was a waste of their time. When I found and met Robie he really helped me feel welcome and treated me with respect. He was very friendly and understanding and really helped me feel comfortable about finally taking the plunge. I really wanted a Cthulhu themed tattoo and I wanted the shading to be stipples. Ive seen many examples of other artists in the area who do stippling and they just cant compare. I loved my experience, and I love my tattoo! I highly recommend!
Amazing artist! Definitely worth the wait to book! Kevin Hayden has been my go to for a couple years now. He ha’s an incredible artist and a genius when coming up with ideas! Definitely always recommend him!!!
Thank you again Robie for a wonderful and amazing experience from start to finish! I came in with a vision, Robie listened and came up with a masterpiece! I cannot express how grateful I am! I will definitely get my next masterpiece tattoo from you.
Really great studio. I trusted Robie with my first tattoo and have since been back for several more. He is a very talented artist, a great listener, and the consummate professional. The studio itself has a great vibe. Highly recommended.
Robie made my first tattoo experience amazing. He was very patient with me and made sure that I was confident in the design I selected. He told me what to expect before, during, and after the session. His studio is well polished and relaxing. Overall, I’m extremely happy and would recommend him to anyone.
I got my first tattoo here. I was nervous going in but Robie reassured me, he was very nice and thoughtful. He stopped a lot during the session to make sure that I was doing okay. The finished piece was beautiful - I highly recommend him as an artist and this shop!
Robie Sayan did a fantastic job taking my ideas and translating them into an beautful piece of art!I was nervous because it was my first tattoo and as a Deaf client, was not sure how communication would work. When I emailed him with my ideas and set up an consultation, I warned him I was Deaf. I was very impressed when I arrived for my consultation and Robie was already prepared with written questions and instructions for me to read and willingly wrote down everything else to make sure I understood everything. That immediately put me at ease and made me feel very relaxed. Robie was very friendly, professional, and helpful as he took my ideas.After the consultation, I was extremely excited for my tattoo. On the day of my tattoo, I saw the design Robie made for me and it was exactly how I had described to him. I asked for two slight modifications and Robie was very flexible and accomodating. Again, communication was very easy and Robie constantly checked in to make sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process.The actual tattoo was less painful than I expected and Robie worked quickly and smoothly. I would absolutely get another tattoo from Robie again and recommend him to others. Thank you again!!
An excellent experience with Robbie helping create my first tattoo. The shop is very nice and professional with a chill and relaxed atmosphere. He took my ideas, we discussed, and he produced an excellent interpretation which surpassed my original idea.Being my first tattoo, Robbie took his time and used lidocaine constantly which reduced the discomfort. He offered plenty of breaks and the conversation was pleasant and easy. If youre looking to get your first work done, I can highly recommend him. My finished piece is large, detailed and really well done. While I cannot compare to other studios, I can say Im more than pleased with the work, design, atmosphere, cost and outcome. One note, due to his shop protocol (COVID and throughput) I waited two months to get in for the work so the wait is worth it.
Robbie made my first tattoo experience excellent! I found him from google, his line work is exceptional and he worked collaboratively with me on design, size, and everything else. Any question I had was met with an informative and supporting response. I will definitely be returning to him for more business in the future and cannot recommend his studio enough.
Robie and I started work on a geometric sleeve that is evolving to include a chest piece with roses. His lines are super clean and his dot work and shading are impeccable. He helped me select some awesome patterns to complement the patterns I brought to him, and he drew some awesome flowers that perfectly balance realism and american traditional. The shop is super clean and everyone is really nice. Highly recommend.
I just got my second tattoo done at Sayan Tattoo with Robie. The entire process was smooth. Had a first consult appointment to discuss my idea where Robie provided his professional opinion and suggestion. We then booked it, and I got it done yesterday. While I was impressed with the tattoos on his website, I can that my tattoo even exceeded my expectations. It looks phenomenal even with a last minute change. Highly recommend, and planning to come back for another one that already discussed with Robie.
I got my tattoo a few weeks ago with Robie, and Im still in love with it. Robie is an amazing artist who really takes the time to make you feel comfortable and to go through the various options of the type of tattoo youre looking for. I would STRONGLY recommend Robie to anyone whos looking for a tattoo, and I would go back to him without a doubt if I decide to get more myself. Since hes very good at what he does, he does get booked up fast, but I promise you hes well worth the wait!
I have had two tattoos done at Sayan Tattoo. One by a visiting artist and one by Robie Sayan. Not only is the shop exceptionally clean, but everyone I have met there is genuinely nice and welcoming. Robie was patient with me in placement and continually checked in throughout the tattooing process to make sure I was comfortable. I am absolutely in love with the piece of art he created and enjoyed my time in the shop.
I have gotten 3 tattoos from Robie over the years absolutely love the work, always creative and professional. Was a bit cautious given current covid situation but the shop was immaculate and everything was scheduled so it was just Robie and I there for consult and tattoo session. Shanna communicated what their operating protocols were, my temperature was checked upon entry and masks were worn at all times. Will definitely be back soon!
What is there to say about Sayan tattoo co, other than they are absolutely amazing!! The owner Robie is amazingly talented!! He has such attention to detail, his line work is the best! And he has a very light touch! I fly from Texas to have him do my work. I won’t go to any other tattoo shop. Their work is worth every single penny. I highly recommend Sayan Tattoo Company.
Great Spot!Worked with Robie for my first tattoo ever and he was fantastic throughout. The shop is following safety guidelines for Covid-19 too which is great.Robie walked me through the process, explained each step and emphasized after-care being critical.The time used was less than originally estimated and they saved me some money too!Cant recommend this shop enough. Great spot for a first timer like me!
Stumbled upon Sayan after looking up other shops in the NoVA area. Im so glad I went here, even with the almost 3 month wait. The consultation with Robie was extremely helpful, the venue is very clean, and everyone there was friendly and professional! My piece also came out better than I envisioned thanks purely to the experience and talent of the artist! I would definitely highly suggest to anyone to check out Sayan Tattoo!
Jason is truly an artist! He is one of the best artists Ive had ink me. He did both the dream catcher and arrow for me and exceeded my expectations plus he has a great sense of humor. Robie, the owner, and Cynthia, one of the other artists, are super personable and the shop has a great vibe all around. I highly recommend Sayan Tattoo to anyone!
First and foremost - and above all - Robie Sayan and his family/team, Shanna, Cyn and Jason, are fantastic human beings! The open and relaxed environment they’ve created at the ‘Sayan Tattoo Company’ is the perfect setting for those looking for an artist willing to be invested in the process as much as their customers. Personally, I’ve worked with Robie for 7 years and can easily say there is not another person I would entrust to properly display my life experiences...which is the very reason we will be lifelong friends. There are many artists capable of tattooing you, but Robie and his team have an amazing range of skills that can answer any style of tattoo you may be searching for. If you’re thinking about getting some ink, your first and only call should be to the Sayan Tattoo Company!
Robie Sayan has all the attributes of the consummate artist: 1) aesthetic subtlety; 2) intellectual and emotional understanding of your tattoo vision, design, and symbolism; and 3) the craftsmanship, talent, patience and creativity to achieve your objective. This was my first tattoo and it was a singularly outstanding experience. He met or exceeded all the criteria for the highest positive tattoo experience.
Robie did my first tattoo for me and the entire time he was very nice and patient about it. The tattoo itself is everything that I wanted it to be and the process of getting the tattoo was comforting and relaxing. I would definitely recommend this place for any person who is interested.
Always great atmosphere, Robie is a knowledgeable and very skilled artists. Got my second and getting third tattoo soon.
Robie has worked with me over the last year to complete my sleeve. He took my ideas & brought them to life. He made them more beautiful than I could have expected & did an incredible job! I will absolutely be going back for more work in the future. I am so happy with how my sleeve turned out!
I traveled from Winchester to meet with Robie for my very first tattoo, a large, beautiful, organic black and white floral hip piece. As someone who is super picky, I spent weeks searching for an artist whose line work and attention to detail was near perfection and I am so glad I did. From the stress-free consult and good vibes of the staff and environment, to Robie buying me macarons during one of our breaks from a local shop because I mentioned I had never had them before (!!!), to the patient, easy-going, professional yet laid back nature of all employees here... I could not have wished, hoped, or dreamed of a better first tattoo experience. If (or should I say when?) I want my next piece, there is no doubt in my mind where Ill get it done. If youre scoping out a few places I am telling you to save your time and shoot these guys a message. You will not regret it!
Made an appointment a month in advance only for it to be canceled 2.5 hours before the scheduled time because the artist didn’t have time from the moment I scheduled the appointment, again a month in advance, to when the appointment was to work on a drawing for my tattoo. Ironically enough, in their email signature they have this whole thing about clients being respectful of the cancellation policy but I guess that only goes one way.
Great studio. One of the most comfortable sits Ive ever had.Jasons attention to detail and getting everything just right on a technical precise piece that didnt have room for error was fantastic. Incredible value for the artistry.
I got my first tattoo a few weeks ago with Jason and it was a great experience! The place is neat and clean and the people were very friendly! Jason did awesome work and was easy to talk to pass the time!
I’ve been going to Rob for about 5 years for all my work. The shop is always clean and inviting. All the artist are very talented and friendly. Only positive experiences for me!!
Just had my first appointment at Sayan Tattoo with Jason, probably the most relaxing tattoo experience I’ve had, can’t wait for my return visit in October, as always Jason’s professionalism and artistry is second to none.
Working with Robie was great! I love the art and am excited to add more soon!
Clean and comfortable shop with talented, patient, and kind artists. I’m already recommending my friends and family there!
Best experience getting inked, extreme care, and attention to detail!
Kevin Hayden did an amazing tattoo for me!
Very understanding for a first time tattoo. Very professional.
Good peoples, good art and a very clean shop
The best
Robie is the best
