Carlos is the best tattoo artist to come to the Triangle. His studio is a masterpiece of beautiful artwork which I am greatly impressed by. He puts his heart into his art and extends this into his beautiful tattoo pieces! He can bring any dream to life while also showcasing his funny & witty personality which makes each tattoo or art buying experience that more pleasant. I highly recommend this studio!

The absolute best tattoo experience I’ve ever had very clean, professional, seriously the guy had on a 3 piece suit and black Air Force 1’s he literally stood on business. I traveled 6hrs to get ISD work by Spliff

Amazing work! The atmosphere is so welcoming and such a vibe! Inkstilldripping tattoo is literally the best shop in Durham to get tatted, Los made me feel super comfortable and also had refreshments! His pricing is very respectable for the work he does. Will definitely be back for any other work I get done!

My true rating is 4.5 stars;Got my smiley done there, very fast and really didnt hurt at all. The guy who did it was nice and chill, however he absolutely refused to believe that my friend and I were 18, even after seeing our IDs 😭😭 Eventually, I guess he believed that we were old enough to get pierced but we were still kind of confused LOL. I will definitely be going back there though because prices are pretty reasonable ($30 for any above waist piercing) and he gave us a free bottle of cleaning solution!

Los is a very attentive and informed piercer. He helped me choose the best jewelry for my daith and nose piercing + also supported me through the after care process. His shop is cleanly and he is friendly and social.Los is an artist and that truly shows through his work. 5/5

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I cant recommend Ink Still Dripping enough! The atmosphere is welcoming, and the artistry is top-notch. Los truly brings ideas to life with incredible skill and creativity. Every tattoo Ive seen from this shop is a masterpiece. If youre looking for your next ink, this is the place to go!He even offers pool (billiards) lessons in shop.

Clean environment! I love how when you don’t know what you what he helps you draw it out! I got a freestyle today. He’s super pans makes sure you’re comfortable. Definitely a 5 star! My favorite Durham tattoo artist! Prices are reasonable as well and not extremely high.

Hello yall this place is truly amazing and beautiful inside. The shop owner/piercer/tattoo artist is truly amazing because he cares about his customers and his artwork is beyond incredible. I would recommend this shop to anyone who wants good artwork in a clean and hospitable shop. Im happy he was able to get my jewelry in my holes that were almost closed on on two tragus ear piercings. Please know that you will not be disappointed if you come to Ink Still Drippin!! Very satisfied customer here!Ps- My daughter enjoyed it too

Review №25

Was very rude and unprofessional, screamed at us when I asked my friends to stand in the room with me with moral support told me I can leave if i wanted, even though i really wanted the piercing and made me wait so he could finish his convo with absolutely no one in the room. Got my piercing but at what cost 🤷🏾‍♀️ don’t go unless you wanna hear huffing and puffing the whole time

He is a copy and paste artist. He arrives late for his appointments. He takes hella smoke breaks and he gives you little too no advice about after care.

Review №38

Would give Los a 6 star rating if I couldNot only is his work awesome but he is the only late nighter in the Triangle. He did the DNR tattoos (one in each elbow) over two years ago amd they still look brand new. The other picture is a Pearl Jam quote he did today in under 10 minutes and it looks awesome. With over 30 tattoos of my own I felt completely safe and comfortable that his place is exceptionally clean, the equipment is sterile, yet the atmosphere is funky and fun

Review №46

I went for my first tattoo and didnt give much advance notice. Ink Still Dripping made room for me in their schedule. I had visited several tattoo shops in the area and found some to be outdated and not that clean. Ink Still Dripping was light, modern and spotless. My artist looked at the design I brought in and suggested some improvements which were spot on!! This was exactly the advice and expertise I was looking for. It was done quickly and looks absolutely amazing!! He also fixed my friends botched tattoo! Highly recommended. Im a first responder and he took great care of me in service, price and quality.Update, I went back for my 2nd and third. Same great service, pricing and express availability. Other shops in the area arent as willing to assist at short notice. Great communication from Los.

Carlos the tattooist has a pleasant attitude, clean studio, and my experience was a good one. Me and my sister both received a great tattoo from Carlos!!This is my third tattoo from him and he also pierced my friends!!!He will also give you aftercare directions on how to take care of your tat or piercing....I have recommended him to many of my friends♡♡♡♥♥. you can tell he loves what he does!3 years later and Im still receiving wonderful tattoos from Los! Im thinking about getting a piercing - only because the jewelry selections are insane!!!!Conversation is ALWAYS an experience w/ LOS - keep up the GREAT work.

Review №50

I paid him to fix my tattoo on my wrist from a previous place. He didn’t turn the machine off and He ended up tattooing another part of my arm, he said “a lot of people would say you owe me sleeve”. I said “no, just fix it with something small”. He said he’d fix it and to let him know when I figure out what I wanted. I was in contact with him on and off trying to figure out a time when I finally figured out what I wanted, he was trying to charge me for drawing a big line on my arm. Never even texted back when I offered to book something else other than a tattoo. Very unprofessional and bad for business. If you gonna run one stand on your word!

Review №52

I had a really good experience at Ink Still Dripping. It looked like I was the last customer of the day & he waited for me to get there. I had my nose pierced twice on one side. He pierced them so quickly, I barely felt it. I would highly recommend Ink Still Dripping.

Review №53

The septum piercing I got here is super crooked. Also, it was implied i was a wuss during the appointment because I was nervous about the pain. For aftercare, he just had no idea. He gave me some tattoo soap to use, which I later found out was not something I should be using for my septum. I ended up in the ER with an infection because I unknowingly wasnt cleaning it right.As a chill millenial I really hate leaving bad reviews, but I cant let this one go.

Review №54

Booked an appointment for 12:30 got there at 12pm . No one at the establishment. That’s not good business first impression should always be your best so I rate this experience as zero. But he was genuinely enough to send my deposit back.

Carlos is TALENTED! I definitely recommend him before anyone else! He was very clean and professional and so gifted that he will make your dream a reality.

Review №59

Booked through the website ( which doesnt have a good set up ) to get a nose piercing and was confused on even how to acquire the services. Set up an appointment, he never arrived at his own establishment until after I left. ( stayed outside for an hour, from 11 - Noon ). During which I attempted contact through multiple mediums. To which I received no response until after I had already vacated the premises.Once Im in contact, he suggests I can arrive at any time during the same day to make up for the appointment. When I reach out to confirm, the response time was after an hour or two.Finally arrive and when I walk in hes on the phone with the conversation on speaker. Discussing how painful nose piercings can be. Once I sit in the chair, I become a bit nervous and ask to pause for a second only for him to say to me, Man up . Then does the piercing before I even have a chance to respond.After the piercing, I ask what do I need to do to take care of the piercing. This man says.. go to Tik Tok.

I walked in with an idea of what I wanted but wasnt sure exactly how I wanted to do it. Los took my idea and made it into a piece of original art. I love it! Environment was super chill. I work in health care, so to see him using great sanitation in his establishment made me even more comfortable.

Review №62

My piercing appointment was at 12:45 and the place is supposed to be open at 12 and he wasn’t even there. I called him like 6 times with no answer until he texted me that he was “on the way”. I waited 30 minutes after my scheduled time for him to arrive and he still didn’t so I left and got my piercing elsewhere.

Review №63

I have had a great experience every time Ive visited this establishment. I have gotten 6 piercings from LostheSpliff since meeting him & looking forward to getting a few tattoo pieces. Hes very talented as an artist. The parlor is clean every time I visit & LostheSpliff practices excellent sanitation. The best tattoo & piercing experience Ive had this far. I will definitely be returning & bringing my friends & associates.
