I recently got a tattoo here and I had an amazing experience! Ari was incredibly professional and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. The studio was clean and had a great atmosphere. The design turned out even better than I imagined, and Ari’s line work and her attention to detail was on point. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for high-quality work!

So glad that I was able to come across this shop! I called Gary and I was able to walk in the same day, he was super helpful and informative with everything. All of the artists there were very polite, full of personality and welcoming. I worked with Chulo and he was absolutely phenomenal, extremely gentle and patient the entire session. I will definitely be going back for my future tattoos, much love!

This place is awesome! I took my girls to get their ears pierced here today and these guys did not disappoint. We had a moment of panic in between piercings and they turned on the Frozen soundtrack and Bear sang along 😊 the encouragement from everyone in the shop was more than a momma could ask for. Thanks you guys! Well be back!

I was tattooed by Gary and had a great time. He is extremely kind, easy to talk to, and very talented. My tattoo came out perfect, I am so happy about it!!His price is extremely fair, $100/hour. He was very fast, but clearly thorough. We finished in under and hour, even with some added white highlights that we decided to do at the end.On top of all of this, the shop vibe was immaculate. All of the artists were respectful and invested in the pieces they were doing, the shop was clean and the music was fun. I definitely will be back!

Have been in Charlotte for a month and wanted to get a very important piece done that means allot to me. I did my research and that is how I found BNI Tattoos. I am so grateful and happy I found this place. Gary turned this memorial piece that Ive wanted for many years into something better than I could have ever imagined. Not only is this piece something Ill always be proud to have on my body but its something Im proud of. Shop is very clean and you get verification that everything is sanitary and new for your session. Gary is super nice and easy to talk to. Very relatable and funny, makes for good conversations while getting a tattoo. He truly cares about his work and the customer who he is tatting. Without a doubt, if you are anywhere in Charlotte or even in the south, BNI Tattoos is the place to go. You wont regret it!

Review №35

My friends and I came to visit some friends all the way from New York. We had the bright idea to get some small tattoos out of the blue. After calling a few closer places we found no one was able to do it. We called this shop and we’re told to come down pretty quickly. Gary greeted us and he was a dope dude. Very personable and explained safety and all that. I was personally tattooed by Matt who was very patient even though my skin wasn’t the easiest to hold the ink. It was an awesome, quick, and convenient experience. If you ever in the area or live by there I’d highly recommend heading here.

My experience at BNI was amazing. Gary really made sure everything was perfect. He made sure I was 100% certain on placement and size and even brought out multiple options to choose from. Also made sure the tattoo came out exactly how it was planned to. He’s an incredible artist and makes sure the tattoo is literally perfect. He also walked me through the whole process and told me exactly what he’s doing and why he’s doing it. Everyone in the shop is incredible and I will definitely be back.

I am 60 years young. I decided to get my nose re-pierced and get snake eyes in my tongue. Something to cross off my bucket list. I got there and Nuke did my piercings and was very professional and took her time. I am very pleased with the service I received. I don’t know what happened but my snake eyes came out and I was only minutes away . I went there and she was very courteous (I interrupted her lunch. I felt so bad) she told me not to worry about interrupting her lunch. She had it back in my tongue in no time. She said these things happen. I will go back for another piercing soon.

He provided clarity on cleaning instructions and even went so far as to show us the needles he would be using to ensure I was comfortable and everything was sanitary and new. Atmosphere was laid back and personal, artist made us feel like valued clients even though we were first time customers.

Nea did my tattoo, and I couldn’t be happier with everything. She gave me my price estimate before we even started, gave me multiple sizes and placement options. She was quick and efficient. Aside from the amazing tattoo, she was very personable. We held a conversation the whole session and she makes myself, as well as my friends feel very welcome. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone.-Morgan G.

The energy in this shop is remarkable. I had the pleasure of being tatted by Nic today. First, he was very accommodating because I requested a very last minute appointment & after he did what my appointment was initially for, he let me add on another piece as well. Everyone in the shop was very friendly & the support the men showed eachother made it feel like a home. My pieces came out beautiful & the customer service was amazing, I highly recommend!

Review №95

I didn’t know what I wanted to cover my tattoo up with, me Lawrence and my wife was looking for about 2 hours til we found something. He said he was gone throw his own spin on it to make it original, his own. After he drew it out I was satisfied and we began around 12:55 am, got done a little before 2pm. I fell asleep at least 4 times, mostly because he made me feel so comfortable and he was gentle with the tattooing. You wouldn’t have thought I was getting a tattoo for 13 hours. When I say it was WELL worth it.(Can’t forget about Matthew sticking it out with us all night, goofy and kept trying to feed us cause we was there for so long). I LOVE my tattoo and I will be going back for all the rest of my tattoos without a doubt. I’ve gotten so many compliments on it and between me and my wife we have referred over a good ten people. Everybody that I told I also told them they can’t be taking over my tattoo man lol but if I could give more than 5 stars I would. They are so friendly and I was talking to them like they were my brothers lol everyone in there even down to the artists that came in that morning was nice and welcoming. I will be back for the rest of my tattoos.! (Gary told me to tell everybody he did it, just like a big brother 😂) Never a dull moment and it was my first time.

I came in on yesterday as a walk in for a tattoo. I was greeted at the door by Justin who was very professional and super nice. Justin assisted me with designing my tattoo and he gave me great ideas for placement. Justin matched my design perfectly with what I asked for, he was very sterile with his equipment and his work and finished product was clean and to my liking. Justin even talked my bf into getting his first tattoo, which we will be back for next week. I would refer anyone to Justin for all your tattoo needs. Thanks Justin

Never judge a book by its cover. The contents of the story allows you to remember your experience. Visiting from Florida; we were welcomed the moment we drove up. From start to finish we not only received a tattoo; but we received love. Gary I will never forget the laughs but also your professionalism to make sure our experience was everything. Nea you the real GOAT cause we share the same birthday (Gary don’t hate; I still love you) lol. Your hands are created to produce masterpieces. My daughters are happy.

Matthew Forest was my tattoo artist. He made my friends and I feel at home and comfortable. He walked us through the whole process and was amazing. He was very hospitable and kind and his tattoos are works of Art. He was also very fun to chat with. We will definitely be back again.

I came in on saturday afternoon looking to get a tattoo cover up and i was immediately greeted by the staff and gary helped me choose the size and shaping of the tattoo that would best suit me and take care of my previous tattoo. While i was getting that done i was speaking to another artist there about piercings and ended up getting my belly piercing done after the tattoo and the artist ari made me feel so comfortable during my time i will be coming to her with any future piercing ideas!

Review №126

I traveled a long way to receive my first tattoo. Only because I’ve read all the marvelous reviews after being referred by a friend. Now I feel just stupid because my vision didn’t match the artist vision and I’m not satisfied with the finished product. I’m more upset it was my first tat, now I need a cover up. Needless to say I’ll never go back!

Me and my wife came here to get her a coverup on some thick letters because nobody could do it. Lawrence spent 13 hours on her coverup and it was worth it. He blanked fr.

Review №147

They were a life saver for me!!! When everyone else said NO or Come in tomorrow.... they said come in today and we’ll take good care of you! And they did!!! I’m extremely allergic to nickel, so that also includes surgical steel. I had a titanium MM lip piercing and I lost the top which was a inner screw jewel. My husband drove me all over town at 6:45 pm on a Wednesday evening scared it would close or I would swallow it in my sleep. BNI PIERCING showed up out of no where. They had the resolution and made it work. Thanks everyone, I will be back!!!!!

Review №152

I let him put a microphone and some music notes on my arm he did really good everyone likes it but he should of put his own touch to it. As a tattoo artist you should put some of your creativity into it that makes people come back. He charged me 80 honestly I think he should of charged less for what he did. I need a artist to put his all into it. Don’t know if I’m going back

Review №159

DO NOT GO TO BNI Tattoos. First off, Matt told me my tattoo would take 1 1/2 hours and I ended up sitting there for 4 hours. The tattoo looked nothing like how I wanted. He told me he wouldnt be able to make it exact because he adds his own twist but it didnt look even relatively close to what I wanted. I got my tattoo from Matt and ended up getting a staph infection. At first, the owner said he was positive it was an allergic reaction when I sent him the pictures. When I told him it was a staph infection, he told me it was definitely my fault and was poor aftercare. He was trying to tell me someone or my self was touching my tattoo and thats why it got infected. I have 6 other tattoos and know how to keep a tattoo clean and healthy. I tried contacting Matt to try to get my tip back, but he wouldnt respond. I am now stuck with a horrendous looking tattoo I paid $200 for, a $250 urgent care bill for antibiotics, plus whatever itll cost to get it covered up. Overall, horrible experience and wouldnt recommend.
