Elevate Tattoo Studio (ETS)

Went here for my first tattoo on my bday and fell in love with the experience. Leway was great and made sure to perfect details I wanted for the tattoo I imagined to come to life I’m definitely coming back for more!

Incredible experience!!My wife got her very first tattoo which she gifted herself on her 30th birthday. Tone was great, so talented, so down to Earth, so humble and so caring. He had so much patience too, patiently waiting for the selection of tattoo size and position. Would definitely recommend him to my friends and colleagues and everyone who is reading this. Even other staff is very good especially Wrexx (good, friendly guy inspiring people)

Leway is a phenomenal human… he is talented, personable and is a great tattoo artist. When considering a tattoo, you want someone who makes the lines clean, it’s one of those skills you either have it or don’t. Leway has it. Get a tattoo from him and you’ll understand all I’ve written in this review…. You’ll be glad to pay him what he asks, because he deserves it!

My experience here was 10/10. The people here are so nice and welcoming. Leway went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable and reassured me that this tattoo experience was going to be a good one. My tattoo came out exactly how I imagined it, and may I say even better. I didnt think Ill get another tattoo, but after this experience, Ill be back. Ask for Leway when you get there

Service is great. Atmosphere is pretty dope. 10/10 would recommend. I was so happy when i found this place because i would prefer someone of my complexion, only because i feel they would know how to make certain things stand out on my skin better. Have yet to be disappointed.

Hands down Leway is one of the best artists in the DMV!!! Extremely talented, creative and very professional! I’ve been back twice, & will continue to return. I highly recommend!!!

I love this experience it was nice and chill. Liv was a cool person great conversation and vibes from everyone in the shop. I love the colors and the design and she worked around my schedule. Told her what I wanted and my vision was brought life.

I went for my first tat in the DMV and have become a regular customer! Great clean, welcoming, and dope vibe in the place. Very professional and the work is unmatched. I’ll be back for sure for many more.

I started going to this tattoo shop almost around a month ago and i’m absolutely in love!!! One of my friends told me about this artist and his name is Tim. I’ve gotten 3 tattoos from him and he’s my permanent artist now. I definitely recommend going to him, you won’t regret it!!!

Took my teen daughter for a piercing today 8/24/2023 that had been scheduled with Spirit. She did a fantastic job and her calm and kind demeanor quickly put my daughter at ease. My daughter LOVES her new nostril piercing and I can’t recommend Spirit enough if you’re looking for a professional piercer. We will definitely be return customers!(I’d like to add that prior to contacting Spirit I had called the shop directly to get pricing information and spoke with someone who identified himself as the owner. I’m sorry I don’t remember his name, but he was really friendly and gave me all the information I needed. The shop itself is clean and the decor is all black so it makes for a cool vibe.)

Wrexx was great, I absolutely love my tattoo. He was very patient. The shop atmosphere was great also. Very friendly staff

Amazing artists. Friendly and clean environment. Leway and his team have different styles and talents, so no matter what youre looking for, they will have it. I have had a different tattoo artist with each of my tattoos over the years, but I have now found where I want to get the rest of my tattoos. They did a beautiful job!

Tim is a very good artist with excellent attention to detail. His work is always a fun experience and rewarding at the end. He is amazing and his tattoo studio is very nice. I would definitely suggest him to anyone that would like to get a tattoo with a lot of attention to detail.

I had a simple design that I wanted and it ended up being better than I imagined and my tattoo artist was very nice and accommodating, definitely coming back!

The best tattoo experience ever! They make you as comfortable as ever and the tattoos go crazy! True talent here, so professional and I can’t wait to go back 🔥🔥 Here updating my review on 12/23/24 after another sess 🔥🔥🔥 can’t stay away from this place. each tatt gets better and better

Leway is a great artist. I will definitely come back.

I’ve been a client for 2/3 years and every time I come here everyone is very welcoming! The space is extremely clean and I don’t have to worry about sitting in a shop for 15 hours to receive a quality tattoo. Leway is a great artist and so are his co-workers!

Tone did my tattoo. He did an amazing job. He was extremely patient with me. I was a little indecisive about some different designs. His attention to detail was spot on. My tattoo looks really good!!!! The atmosphere is really laid back and the other artist and customers were really chill and nice. I will definitely recommend this shop. You won’t be disappointed.

Great experience Everyone needs to sit in leeways chair good man 💯

Dope shop even doper artist S/O Wrexx for the 🔥 ink I’ll definitely be back!!

Tim did an excellent job. The work was top notch details. If you are looking for Viking type art, great clean symmetrical lines with exceptional detail. The bonus is every artist in the shop was friendly and the owner walked around to chat with customers while constantly caring about how the customers felt about the art work they are getting. Highly recommend.

Got another work of art from Leway! He pay’s attention to detail, takes his time and always put’s his heart and soul into every line. Thank you Leway! 🙏

Wonderful place, lovely environment, and even better people. The artists at this lovation are all insanely talented. I was tattooed by Elvis(TattManPolo) and he did an AMAZING job. He was able to replicate handwriting from a photo exactly as it was and managed to tattoo a skeletal bee the size of a quarter while keeping an insane amount of detail. (Flower in photo done by another place, much older, but you can see the difference in skill.) He fit me in his schedule wherever he could and set an appointment immediately. Plus he is very responsive to any questions you might have after the tattoo is done. Everyone there is super friendly and fun. I will absolutely be recommending this artist and place to anyone I possibly can. Wonderful experience, 1,000/10 rating.

I’ve gotten 3 portraits done by Leway and each tattoo took about 2-4 hours, and due to hun being gentle I never have had to quit during a session. Hes very gentle, he listens to not only your verbal concerns but also how your body is reacting to the session. He’s open to new ideas, creative, and extremely professional! I wouldn’t let anyone else do my realism portraits or big tattoos. If you haven’t booked please do, his books fill fast 😭!

Inkproof did an amazing job, came in for one tattoo and he happily touched up another tattoo that I wasn’t really happy with. Walked out so happy and grateful for his time and art. 🙏 & the staff is eliteee

Tim did an excellent job. Im a breast cancer survivor and it was his first time tattooing one. He made me feel very comfortable and secure. I definitely will be going back to him

Everyone In The Shop Is Always So Welcoming. Not Once Have I Ever Felt Uncomfortable At Any Point Of Me Being There No Matter The Location Of My Tattoo & That Is Very Important To Me! LEWAY Is A Great Tattoo Artist , I Recently Got My 6th Tattoo From Him , Very Creative & NEVER DISAPPOINTS ! One Of The Best Shops Ive Been Too , Place Is FULL OF TALENT , I Havent Got A Tattoo From Any One Else In The Shop But I Know People Who Have & The Work Is Just As Good

I got 2 tattoos. The shop was really clean.All of the tattoo artist there were really nice. I got my tattoo done by kinglivstattoos she did a great job. She worked with me on what I wanted and the tattoo came out better when she added her design. Definitely going back. Check this place out guys

I’ve had 2 tattoos done by Leway himself. I am a very satisfied customer. Ready for my 3rd.

Great vibes always! literally can come here just for the artists and their amazing work. Everyone has their own style and I love it!

This place is great. Reasonable prices, great vibe. Tim was great, he did work on me & my fiance and its amazing work. Def the best Tatt shop Ive ever been too. Hidden Gem 💯

I went to Leway for my first tattoo. He was really nice and his workspace was extremely clean. He works fast and careful while reassuring that you are ok thoughtful the appointment. I can’t wait to go back and get another tattoo from him!!

LOVEDDDD I had a tattoo session with Sadia ( aje_ink) and she was great!! She was very professional and is super flexible with tattoo designs!

I’ve gotten 4 tattoos in less than a year. He’s amazing, professional, very clean, precise, time management is also great. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Best tattoo artist I’ve ever went to, you won’t regret it.

The experience with this shop is amazing, the staff is amazing and super talented. Great quality tattoos! Great personalities! Awesome place and also I love my tattoo going to get it finished soon!

Leway did an amazing job on my back piece. He was so nice, super professional and this is by far the best tattoo I have. His realism is out of this world. I will not let anyone else tattoo me. I have found my tattoo artist 😊.

I went to Leway for a tapout session about a year ago and he is now the only person I’ll let do my tattoos. In this industry you really get what you pay and I had an amazing tattoo session. 10/10 would recommend!

I heard about Leway from a friend who got a similar style tattoo as i wanted. Gave him the idea and told him to do his thing, i was not disappointed. By far my favorite tattoo on my body! Cant wait for the next 2 pieces we have planned. Wouldnt go to anyone else.

Long wait but 100% worth it. So so nice and they did such an amazing job. I had so much fun and overall great experience. Go to Tiffany for your piercings!!

It was a very cool experience, the person that did my nose piercing (I kinda forgot her name) was very cool, I had an amazing time, she was very clean with her set up, She was also so kind, and very organized. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Amazing place! Staff and artists are really nice and friendly. It was my first tattoo and they did a great job. I loved the whole experience :)

Great artists, did a great job on my tattoo and very welcoming.

Leway did a great job on my tattoo. The booking process was easy, price was fair, and the tattoo itself looks great.

I currently have two tattoos by Leway and planning on getting more super patient and creative makes sure your comfortable sets the correct expectations and literally had be laughing the whole time. Definitely top tier.

The process from consultation, appt, you also receive after care products!I’ve had two tattoos done I still get compliments, thank you

Leroy is the only guy I go to, he’s nice patient, and very creative, I’ve been coming to him from almost 2 years. He’s amazing as a tattoo artist and amazing as a friend!

Decided to get my first big tattoo with Wrexx here after seeing some of his work and looking at the Instagram. Did his thing, going back there for sure. That white add on hurt tho.

Great place, clean, friendly staff. They all gifted artists. Especially Matt who did a great job on both arms tattoos.

Had a great time made me feel very comfortable , did my shoulder add-on in no time an it was perfect an still looks great to this day, when i find time i definitely coming to get my arm finished 👏🏾

I have gotten a new tattoo from here every month and I continue to keep going back. Literally makes me feel like I’m his own brother and takes care of me by making sure what I want is done correctly.

Definitely the best of the best in the DMV area!!! If you’re looking for top tier service and tattoos, this is the place for it.

Great work done by Leroy. Highly recommended

Great new tattoo spot!!! Really clean & has a pool table!!! Tvs and sound system so you can block out the pain.

Did my neck tattoo and it healed perfectly :)

Solid work. Tim def makes you feel comfortable & he works w you to make sure you get what you want.
