The Forge Tattoo

They know their stuff. Between Shannon, Marcello, and Adam, they got you covered for whatever youre looking to day. From super simple line work, to traditional pieces, to even the outlandish requests (which one of mine definitely was/is), they got the skills to lpay the bills...

Adam - owner of TFT - was amazing! He shared in my excitement about the tattoo as if it was his (which it was in a way as it is his art work), made me feel comfortable and taken care of. Had a great conversation too. HIGHLY recommend TFT. Fairfaxs finest.

What an amazing experience for me! Great shop with great people! I absolutely LOVE my tattoo. I completely trusted Adam to come up with a design based on elements that I wanted, but had no idea how to bring them all together. He not only met my expectations, he blew them away!I wanted strong, bold, tribal-inspired design with some nature elements that were simpleAnd elegant and not too whimsical. I wanted just a hint of color, but mostly black. And he also had to incorporate an already existing tribal heart that was on my shoulder. HE NAILED IT!! And best part is, that sitting with him for three sessions was the highlight of it all. Fun and inspirational time with a really great guy! THANK YOU ADAM!

I absolutely adore all the fine gentlemen who create art here, Adam Roach is amazing, been doing a sleeve for me since April. I recommend everyone to go check them out, yall need some skin art!❤🙌

Had such a great experience here! Im not from this area so I was a little nervous about finding a good tattoo shop before heading back east. Saw good reviews and ended up here, and Im so glad I did! They fit me in pretty quickly after I called and during the appointment everyone was totally friendly and professional. I was tattooed by Dustin, who I would absolutely recommend--he did great work at a super reasonable price and was great to talk to. I love my tattoo and if Im ever back in this area Id definitely go back here!

The Forge is a fantastic place to get a tattoo. The guys there treat you like family and as such have become members of my extended family. Marcello has tattooed the 5 members of my immediate family, Adam has tattooed me and my wife, Shannon has worked on me as well and at least 15 other people that I know have had work done at the Forge based on the work they have seen on me. Trust your Artist, they know what looks good, and leave your attitude at home. These gents are literally the best.

I have been going to Adam for years now and its never a disappointment. He is meticulous, creative, fast, and flexible. He really works with you to get the outcome you want. I highly recommend him or anyone at Forge, especially for one of your first experiences, their guidance is key. He has put his heart and soul into opening this shop, and it shows. I couldnt be happier for him to be living his dream and sharing his talent.

I recieved one of my first tattoos her when they first opened and it is still one of my favorite and most meaningful tattoos I have to this day. Shout out to one of the owners Nate for the awesome work and friendly conversation. The whole team her are talented, quick and experienced artists and I definitely recommend them all. I will be a regular her for a long time.

The tattoo Artist Marcelo is beyond unprofessional. The poor guys eco is so fragile. He did not want to review the placing of the tattoo, and he did not want to go over the coloring. I was just suppose to trust him. This was the first time I had a tattoo and so I needed some reassurance. His work was ok, not great but not bad. He did have some ink Blowout that I showed him and he was insulted by that. I was respectfully and I tipped him well, he is trying to make a living. Upon saying goodbye he said I should not ask him to do any more of my tattoos. I found this presumptuous, why would I go through that again?The owner of the Tattoo Shop, Adam Roche, called me back but stood me up when I had an appointment to discuss the issues I had.I wish he had not stood me up because I wanted it to work because I am also in Fairfax. :(

Super nice guys! The place has some really nice artwork on the walls. Nate was casual enough to keep the conversation social but focused enough to let you know he took everything seriously. Overall, awesome atmosphere!

Fabulous artistry and tattoos with Adam Roach. Got my 2nd one done there today. Im from Vancouver BC and love this place.

Nate is a very skilled artist. Excellent work at a fair price, I only wish I had more money for more ink ...

I went by Google says there open till 8 it was 745 completely dark no sign with any hours called and there answering machine says theyre open everyday till 9 confused there Instagram looks great and was hoping to talk to someone about my tattoo

By far my favorite tattoo shop. Amazing artists with an amazing energy. Will certainly be back for more ink.

Look at the detail of the tattoo, the lines are great! Go in and see Nate, 20 plus years of tattooing and the art to show it!

Incredible artwork by Marcelo!

Nate did a great job. Design and artwork are excellent.

Super cool people, good music and a lot of art on the walls

Love my Tattoo!!!
