I went to In The Skin to get a tattoo done on my ribs and the whole process was fantastic. Mike is an incredibly sweet guy who made me feel very comfortable during the entire tattooing process. Very reliable shop, super clean and fantastic service. Definitely going back to get more Tattoos!!The tattoo turned out absolutely fantastic!!!
Mike has done phenomenal work and shows professionalism in everyone he speaks to. His shop in NC is one of a kind, and is definitely worth the drive. we’re from Maryland and would recommend him to anyone interested in traditional type work/ literally anything.
Def recommend got my 1st Tatoo here by Mike he was the best and just recently went back and got my 2nd and 3rd Tatoo in 1 session my Will if you want a good quality realistic Tatoo this is the place to go ask for will
I LOVE this shop. Its clean and has a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. We went in for mom/daughter tattoos with Mike, and what we expected was surpassed. I could not be more pleased! Mike was patient and careful about placement and made sure we were happy with it, constantly checked in we were doing ok, and his experience shined through with some creative shading and little extras that resulted in beautiful tattoos. Ill definitely be going back to Mike for more work. Ive found my shop!
If you want a professionally done tattoo, then you owe it to yourself to come see Mike at in the skin. I’m in the process of sleeving up my arm, and his work has been consistent and perfect throughout. His establishment is clean and friendly, and it’s always a positive experience for me. Mike takes the time to go over your tattoo with you to make sure you are satisfied with it before placement. His communication is top notch, and he always makes sure I’m comfortable throughout the process. He has truly perfected his craft. Don’t go anywhere else but In The Skin.
Mike is hands down the best tattoo artist in the area. I have had 2 tattoos done by him. The owl is my favorite tattoo!!!!! I get a ton of compliments on this one. Cant wait for my next one . clean shop and all the artists are fun and personable
This was my first tattoo and my experience with Mike was amazing he drew exactly how I wanted my first tattoo. I love it he did a amazing job I will definitely be coming back 10/10 service.
Very good place for first timers. Mike walked me through every step of the process and was very patient in order to ensure I got a product I was happy with. Will definitely come back here if I get another tattoo. Clean and friendly shop, 100 percent happy with my experience.
I love this shop! Mike and Rocky are such talented artists. Mike did rose tattoos for me and my son recently. He listened to what we wanted and designed the perfect tattoos. We love our tattoos so much!!
If you know exactly what you want to get, then you should visit this Shop In The Skin these artists are phenomenal, especially Mike did my sleeve we have been working on this since FEB and today was my last session and the other artist Will and Joel are amazing people. Thank you so much for your great work Mike and I appreciate your patience.
Mike did exactly what I wanted for my new tattoo. For now on I know where to go for more tattoos. I highly recommend this place!!
I arrived around 4pm i waited for a bit to get serve and i believe his name was wills i asked if they accept walk in cause i just wanted a small tattoo and after that i showed him this picture i wanted to get and he looks at me says “what the hell is that” and in my mind i’m like who is this dude talking to. i remain calm as i was just trying get that small tattoo and throughout my session he was making like inappropriate comments i was at the point where i was trying leave. i advise everyone if you want to be criticize of what tattoo you want and hear inappropriate comments this is the place to be at respectfully
Me and my friends wanted some small tattoos and decided to check this place out since we were not far from there, we all got tattooed by Mike and Will and they both did such an amazing job that we did not regret checking this place out, the shop environment is great and also it’s a very nice shop to say the least!I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone if you’re wanting a great experience and good quality work
Finally got our wedding band tattoos. (It only took 13 years!!) This was the smoothest tattoo Ive ever gotten! Great job, best price around, great personalities! I cant wait to go back for more tats.
The entire staff was amazing, especially Joel. He is extremely talented and did and amazing job on my shoulder piece. Every penny well spent. Will 100% return for further pieces!
Came in on a promise that I made..BEST DECISION to have my ink done by IN THE SKIN TATTOO..I did my research..as well as walked into other Tattoo places in my area..AGAIN..BEST DECISION..BEST CHOICE..I LOVE MY TAT..AND THE ARTIST GEORGE..Not only put me at EASE but did BEAUTIFUL work..I get complimented on my tat...and that it was a tribute to my Brother who passed away..well..it just gives me the feel good when I think about him and look at my Tat..Thanks George...ILL BE BACK!!!!
I would not recommend Joel Shaw. Joel was extremely inappropriate verbally and physically and left a horrible tattoo in my skin. Completely different than what I asked for. He made inappropriate remarks about my body the entire time, and made me very uncomfortable.The shop owners only gave a refund to me in return to me signing a document saying I would not sue them. I have now been having to pay out of my own pocket thousands of dollars to have this lasered off. Do not recommend.Since my encounter with Joel and meeting the shop owners, cameras have been installed to view individual artists while they work.
Absolutely love In the Skin! I got my first tattoo here and from then on I was hooked on the positive and friendly environment! Mike the shop owner is always so welcoming and helpful along with his other artists. If I had to recommend anyone to a friendly, clean, and positive environment it would be here. Everyone there has a different style but I promise, you would never be disappointed. To top it off I’m from Pennsylvania and I drive the 8 hours to In the Skin because of how talented they are! I would never want to be tattooed anywhere else (I have been and it wasn’t the same experience or talent you receive from Mike and his other artists.) The shop is well set up and is always clean which makes you feel comfortable and stress free. So just do yourself a favor and stop in a schedule with one of them! Try your best to stop into the shop over calling. The guys are busy tattooing their work on other clients. Most of the time it’s extremely hard for them to answer the phone. They’re not ignoring you they’re just giving their best attention to their clients in the chair. I recommend everyone that has ever asked where I got my work done to make the time to stop into In the Skin and set up an appointment with one of the guys there.
Clean shop and very pleasant atmosphere. Mike was so precise and professional with the artwork. We went for couples tattoos, and it was absolutely amazing!
I went today for the first time and got my belly button pierced, it was quick and almost completely painless. Not to mention the jewelry cost was INCLUDED in the total price. The process went smooth and the staff was very friendly. I definitely recommend for any piercing needs or tattoos! It’s a great little shop!
Mike is the man did an awesome job I came in without an idea and I had a timeframe to get it done bc of my flight. He delivered on time and with amazing work. Couldnt be happier.
LOVE this shop! Mike & Will are two of the best artists around! The only two people I’ve been to for the past 10 years! Highly recommend!!
Holy Man it was a blessing I met Mike super Chill Always wanted a cross Tat and he mad it so well no pain at all it was amazing. 10/10 deff recommend if you have never had one.
Rocky did amazing work on my cover up. Great guy with amazing results
I had a great experience here.. Eric was a great at explaining what he was doing well giving my piercing. The price was reasonable. Very clean environment and both the guys was cool to have a conversation with.... I will go back soon
First tattoo at 63 yrs old. Was very important to me. Mike was excellent. I certainly recommend his work. Very pleased with entire experience.
Mike was WONDERFUL! I showed him a picture of what I wanted and he added his own little flair to it and it turned out AMAZING! It was a tribute to my dad who had passed away that July. So I got it for my birthday.
Mike, the owner, did my tattoo. He looked at my ideas and sketched a draft. We talked about size and location. He did an awesome job of keeping the jitters away while working! He whistled and hummed to the music playing in the background and was upbeat the entire time. The shop (including the bathroom) was very clean and well-kept. Very friendly atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.
Mike did my daughters 1st tattoo today for her 18th birthday. He was very professional and did a wonderful job. He took the time to make sure it was exactly what she wanted and she loves it. We will be returning for our future tattoos. Highly recommend this place!
I will highly recommend this shop and both artists. Mike has done extremely great work and I love his tattoos and his people skills!! line work is one of the best around! Shop is very warm and inviting!! I know enough about the business to know that the review above is crap and he treats is people with the utmost respect and is fair with his percentages! I will never go anywhere else to get my ink done!
Checked out quite a few shops its been a long time between tattoos. I met Mike he was very Kewl and took time to go over my drawings. Small shop but with that comes a extremely clean and fresh set up. We got to it and my new tattoo came out Bad Ass!! It is Awesome and I highly recommend his work and the Vibe was Great. I get lots of compliments on his work. Im geart up for my next session.
Got a wicked Harry Potter tattoo by an amazing guy named Mike here. I showed him exactly what I wanted and some ideas and he couldnt have done it better. This guy is amazing with the tattoo machine and I will definitely be coming back to get more ink!! Highly recommend for a local place and will not disappoint!!!
Mike is hands down the best out there. He made me feel comfortable and sat down with me to make sure I loved my design he put together. I without a doubt recommend Mike and his awesome shop.
Great tatto artist we love the tattoos Mike did for us.
This place is the best. Mike, the owner, is incredible. I’ve referred 6 or 7 friends to him and all have been super happy with their tattoos. The artists are happy to work with you on design and ease your worries about getting the tattoo. Very clean place and all of the artists are so friendly. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for a tattoo!!
George did a second piece for me. He is super talented and funny. He’s great about working with your budget. I was surprised at how fast he drew it up and got started right away! The shop is very clean, very professional, and they all know what theyre doing. I am really impressed and Definitely coming back here for more! I highly recommend them to everyone.
I went yesterday to get my tattoo for my great grandmother who has passed away and it was the best experience! This was my first time getting a tattoo at in the skin and I would go back for another one in a heartbeat! Very clean shop! Mike did my tattoo for me and he was great! He drew up exactly what I had in mind and made it even better then I couldve imagined! I will definitely be returning again for my next tattoo!
Very professional and awesome staff. The shop is very nice and clean they do amazing work. I love my tattoo and people keep telling me how good it looks. Definitely recommend Mike and his shop and plan to go back again.
I have had the greatest experience with all 3 of the artist at In the skin tattoo, way above and beyond and great work that gets compliments all the time. Strongly recommend if you need great tattoo work done by very thorough professional artists this is the place to go without any doubt. Very welcoming staff that meet all your tattoo needs.
Been calling for an hour just to see next days availability. Awful service. Guess yall dont book much appointments.
Mike and Eric both were extremely welcoming. Eric explained his piercing technique and clarified any questions. Piercing was quick and painless. Definitely recommend!
I decided last minute on New Years Eve to end the year with getting a tattoo to memorialize the recent death of my father. I had some ideas and thoughts on what I wanted but couldnt really articulate it or put it all together (I am far from artistic)Thankfully, Mike is. He not only helped me put it all together into a beautiful tattoo but he was also friendly, professional, and squeezed me in with no appointment. Further, he couldnt have done better with calming the nerves. I couldnt be more pleased. Highly recommend! Thank you again.
My husband introduced me to In The Skin and I’ve been hooked ever since!!! They are friendly, and super clean! It is THE only place I trust to put a needle to my skin for a tattoo knowing I won’t have to get a cover up later because it turned out not like I envisioned!!! Will & Mike are the best!
My husband and I are extremely happy with the experience. Shop is super clean. George was attentive to what we really wanted and was meticulous while applying the tattoos. We would highly recommend and are already planning our next visit to the shop. Thanks George!
One AMAZING place with a lot of talent under one roof...George did 5 different tattoos for me today and was very concerned for my well being. Mike is the owner and he is one awesome fella...I would recommend in the skin to anyone even if you have to wait a couple days for an appointment, wouldn’t go ANYWHERE else...worth the wait...gotta love these guys ❤️
Mikes the man! Has done a few pieces for me now and always great work and a great price. He’s a true artist doing what he loves and his passion shows through his work. Go check them out, you won’t be disappointed!
Friendly staff and a very clean place. I have been going there for about a year now and I am more than pleased. Finally a good tattoo shop in the Concord area. Mike, Rocky, and George are great artists and I would trust them with any of my tattoo work.
This was my first tattoo and I was terrified about the potential pain. Ive had friends tell me it doesnt really hurt and others say the exact opposite. My only experience with needles was piercings from my younger years, and the epidural in my spine for my C-section. I finally decided it was time and I met with Rocky to discuss what I wanted and get some feedback. The consultation went great. We talked about a few different style options ( size, color, etc) and price. I was so nervous when the big day came. Rocky was so calm and relaxed, it made me feel slightly less anxious. Then right before he started he joked with me about getting supplies ready bc most people pass out from initial pain . Once I realized he was joking, I relaxed even more. Everyone at the shop was really nice and supportive. The pain was nothing compared to what I imagined it might be. Rocky did an amazing job! My tattoo looks exactly as I wanted. I am beyond thrilled with the final result. I will definitely be going back to them for any future tattoo work.
Eric is amazing. This is my second piercing from him and he makes it enjoyable every time. Definitely the person to go see if you want a piercing.
Love my tattoo butterfly from by Mike, he helped me to cover another tattoo from 40 yrs ago. Looking forward to getting more tats by Mike.
Hispanic guy wasn’t being professional at all yesterday 5/26/20 around 4/4:30pm. I was referred to this place by my neighbors who go there and say they do a great job. Every tattoo drawing/idea I showed him he either said wasn’t possible or price gouge to make me go away. Im very experienced and familiar with getting tattoos. Either he didn’t want to make money that day or he was just inexperienced; idk. I may come back eventually hoping for a better experience and or personnel, but not anytime soon.
Eric did two piercings for me n i love them both so much :) everyone is super friendly and the atmosphere is very comfortable !!
I love this place. very clean, nice atmosphere, and justin is amazing. hes very friendly, easy to feel comfortable around, and does great work/has a great portfolio. i go to him often. you can definitely tell he is passionate about what he does. it shows in every piece!
I had Will as my artist and traveled from California to North Carolina for his work. I’m currently active duty in the Marine Corps and he was willing to work with me. My custom pieces came out exactly how I wanted them. 10/10 will be back and 10/10 recommend.
In the skin is awesome. Mike has done two tattoos for me and I love them. He is a true artist and I would not even dream of going anywhere else. I highly recommend In the Skin!
I just got my first tattoo here and my artist did a great job! He was just super knowledgeable about everything and was just able to give me a clear understanding about what to expect and how the experience would be, aftercare etc. Im definitely going to go back when I know what next to get. I think it was a great first experience and I feel like the pricing is nice and fair. It was just dope, tbh
Great artist here in Concord and Roght across from the speedway. I get compliments on my tattoos all the time from random people. This keeps me coming back. Great people, awesome experienced artist, and great rates. You cant go wrong with In the Skin Tattoos in Concord NC
Love, Love, Love, the work Rocky Esparza does. He is a very talented professional artist. I highly recommend his services... Especially if your looking for someone who really cares about their artistry. Very down to earth and accurate, what more could you ask for...
Got my 1st & 2nd tattoo today & I LOVE them both! Mike is amazing! Takes the time to listen to what you have in mind & does awesome work!I WILL be back!
Awesome tattoo shop. Will has done a lot of my new work and does a killer job. I have recommended them to many of my friends who now also go there for work as well.
Best place to get a tattoo I went here for my first tattoo and Mike the owner did a great job this is the only place that I would recommend to anyone to get a tattoo. Great people, great tattoos.

I got my latest tattoo from In the skin, particularly Will, but the whole place is clean and the staff is so nice and helpful! This is most definitely my shop from now on! Would recommend and definitely have recommended this place to any and everyone.
Found this place by accident last year while at the All Star Race...I just got my 4th tat from them. Mike and Justin rock, they make certain your getting what you want and placement is perfect. Great colors that pop out at you
Rocky did my tattoo and it was a great experience, all the guys were very friendly, the shop was super clean. I enjoyed every moment of my time there. I cant wait to go back.
Been looking for a new place to go for about 3 years now & I just found it ! Very friendly environment & Im so happy with my new tattoo ! The owner made me feel very comfortable & did an amazing job 👏
This was my first time here: I had to get a new tongue ring and Eric was very friendly and helpful. It was a very fast process under 10min wait. I highly recommend this establishment.
Very skilled and professional artists! The shop is very nice and very clean. Great location right across from the speedway. I will have more work done @ In The Skin and will recommend to my friends/ family. Highly recommended!
Kickass atmosphere and amazing artists. Right in the heart of concord across from the speedway. I wont go anywhere else, these guys are two of the best anywhere around, period. Proud to be getting my tattoos here ;-)
My first time at In The Skin Tattoo. It was a great experience. Mike was cool to talk with and an awesome artist.
Will and Mike are real laid back and professional. They take incredibly great care of all of their customers. I highly recommend them both!
Absolutely the best experience... everything from the quality to the professionalism... these guys got it down! Best in the business as far as I’m concerned. Looking forward to more ink in the future... I’m only going to one place... In The Skin.
Mike did a great job and atmosphere is really good...super pleased! He and Will are friendly and helpful. Will be back for my next one!!

George did an amazing job. Super happy with the outcome!
Great place to go for a tattoo. Caring kind patient artists work here who will definitely listen to what you want and create a beautiful representation of whatever you request!
Awesome experience. Justin does quality work. Stayed from 12 to 8 (not getting tatted the whole time) and enjoyed every second.
Mike is absolutely the greatest!!! He was quick and friendly and I love my tattoo! Thanks Mike! -Kazh Diamondz
Always clean and everyone very professional. Took the time to make sure I was happy with my selected piece before starting.
Best shop Ive been to. Super clean and professional. Mike rocked my violet with my moms handwriting.. Thanks

Absolutely one of the best experiences hands down! Will was professional and answered all questions while making it a friendly experience. 100% would recommend.
Joel did a fantastic job and I will be a returning customer. Professional, great experience.
I love both my tattoos I got here! George did an amazing job on them!
I got a tattoo of a bass clef from here, and it looks fantastic, and the price was not bad at all. Definitely the only place nearby to get a tattoo.
Ive been looking for a parlor like this. Got a great new tat, and i will be coming back...and sending all my friends here!
Cool artists that are professional and friendly. The shop is clean and in a good location.
They work with you and your schedule and if you need help deciding on the final touches of your tattoo theyre there to help.
Clean, decent price, good atmosphere. the work i had done was what i wanted and turned out great.
