Valei Arts Tattoo Studio

Ive used the Beach Blvd location for both a tattoo and piercing and am thoroughly impressed.My 13 yo wanted to get a second ear set done, and I refuse to take her to those places in the mall. I had been looking at this shop for my own tattoo and since they did piercings, figured it was a good way to go check it out. Brenna was wonderful, she explained the whole process before and then again while she was doing it, and made sure the 13 yo was comfortable and distracted. They have an on site notary that made the paperwork super quick and easy and we were in and out in under 30 minutes for a walk in appointment. Im sure we will be using this service again in the future.A few weeks later, I went back in on a Saturday just to see if my tattoo ideas was even possible. I had an impromptu consultation with Angel, gave him the idea, and set up an appointment for the following Wednesday. I had also asked about numbing cream due to a previous bad tattoo experience, and Angel said he would order some and it wasnt a problem. Day of appointment, I show up and am extatic by the design of my tattoo. Seeing it not in my head anymore and actually on paper was amazing. Unfortunately, Amazon had a delayed delivery so I didnt use the numbing cream, but Angel let me bring my friend back with me so I could beat on them if it got too painful. Which it DIDNT. There were some tender spots, but it was the best tattoo experience Ive had, and made me second guess why I waited 20 years in between. He did phenomenal work, and I absolutely cannot wait for it to heal so I can go back in and have him add some of his killer water colors.If youve been on the fence about getting a tattoo, or not sure if your design can Eben be brought to life, definitely go check out Valei Arts!

Got a conch + septum piercing & brenna was super nice and very communicative and made sure i was comfortable! very quick and basically painless piercing. the receptionist was also very nice! thank you💟💟

I always have the best experience going here, It feels like a second home. Bo did my tattoo today and he gave very professional service, was very patient with me and was very kind. I am beyond happy with how my tattoo came out!

Best shop I’ve been to and I’ve been to tattoo shops all over the world. They were exactly on time down to the minute which is unheard of for tattoo shops. Jon was my tattoo artist and he was super personable, very detail oriented and had everything ready to go the moment I got there. Tattoo was in a bit of a vulnerable area of my body so i was a little nervous having a guy do it but he made me feel very comfortable and he was super professional. Yall know how some dudes at tattoo shops can be creeps but I felt so safe here and very comfortable - so if you’re like me and have concerns about that kind of thing I def recommend this place. I love the finished product and I would recommend this place to anyone!

Went in to get a memorial tattoo for my uncle, and Rob was terrific! He took my idea and ran with it, creating a design I couldnt have imagined. He asked for my input along the way in the design process and made sure it was exactly what I wanted.After about an hour or so of sitting time the tattoo came out even better than the drawing, with tons of attention to detail! Rob specializes in using white accents in his tattoos to really add depth and detail to his pieces. Its looks freaking awesome!I would recommend this shop to anyone and will get all tattoos from here in the future. The help working with my design ideas and attention to detail are second to none. Call them up for sure if youre thinking of getting one!Thank you Rob for helping me remember my uncle in this way, I know if he were still here he would love the work youve done.

Ive been going to Randy for over five years and I can tell you no one is friendlier in this business. His talent is uncanny and his price and mindset is always just right. If youre looking for quality, professionalism and just an overall great experience give Randy a shout. You wont be disappointed.

Went to the Atlantic location and Marshall did my amazing tattoo. He is a fantastic artist with a great sense of humor. I have had several people admire my tattoo and ask me where it was done. Would definitely see Marshall again and recommend him to anyone.

This shop is spectacular. Never been disappointed! The atmosphere is unmatched. It’s comfortable, fun and the experience is almost as great as the tattoos themselves. Marshall and Jon always shine but all the artists are awesome to be around and each one has something that makes them unique about their tattooing style and their personality alike. Check them out! Highly recommend

This place is awesome...the tattoo 🎨 artists are amazing. They are helpful in bringing life to your tattoo! I have seen a lot of their work and all I can say is AMAZING!!! Definitely my number 1 choice..

Great atmosphere, clean, and professional. Marshall nailed my tat. 🙂Edit: Ive since been back 4 times with another appointment coming up to keep working on the ocean stuff. I love every one of them 😍

Randy is the absolute best at everything he does! He has designed and done all 3 of my tattoos and I’ll be getting another one soon for the newest addition to our family (with room for one more in the near future)😆 He is professional, creative, honest, and reliable! We live in Sarasota which is about 4 hours away but so worth the drive! People always ask me for his business cards when they see my tattoos on my back! His work is original and you will love any piece of art he creates for you! I highly recommend him to all my family and friends! You will never be disappointed!I forgot to add that my mom has quite a few pieces of Randy’s artwork hanging up throughout her house! Those are amazing too!!

Randy is an amazing artist. I’ve been coming here for years and it is one of the best. Can’t beat the Bob Ross in the studio either. I’ll be back.

Ive been getting tattooed for 20 years and have been to quite a few different shops. My experience at Valei was hands down the best Ive ever had. Flick was extremely professional and is definitely a master of his craft.

I had a great experience here. Definitely ask for John. He’s amazing very down to earth. He is now my go to tattoo artist. He did 4 tattoos for me within 2 hrs!!! I love my new tattoos because each one has special meaning to me. I am going back for part two next week. Customer service is off the chain!!

Randy is phenomenal.. he isnt heavy handed and the whole process was very simple.. I sat for 5 hours and have zero complaints.. very talented artist

Unfortunately I didn’t get either if the guys names. Went Monday and within a hour after calling they welcomed two of us in. While waiting we got to see two great pieces they were both working on. They are a great set of guys and they keep there work true. The guy who did my back was hilarious yet focused 100% he did an amazing job for only being in the businesses two years. The other guy did my friends thigh. He did it within minutes and it turned out amazing. We both love the tattoos and are definitely gonna recommend you guys to friends and come back!

I came back to see Beau to finish a series of tats remembering my dad on the anniversary of his suicide which was 10 yrs ago 7/25/13. We added the time that my dad sent his last words to me that day. 3:29pm. Beau was great and I feel like I go see friends when I go to this location. Definitely will be back! Thanks Beau!

I did my research for the realistic tattoo artists and found that Randy did the most amazing work in the whole Northeast Florida area. After my appointment with Randy, he didn’t disappoint me. He did the incredible work! He is sure the best tattoo artist! I also saw other types of tattoos he did, they were worth the pain for sure!

Seeing Randy Keener for an upper arm tattoo, in which he is adding on to what I already had so his portion is about 3/4 of the tattoo. I explained what I wanted for the tattoo and let him create the remaining tattoo as he wanted. I am in love with the work that he has done. I have about 1 more tattoo session left to complete it. Thoroughly recommend this Studio and if you can meet with Randy!

Randy is an amazing tattoo artist and a great guy to work with. He didnt rush through designing my piece and took all my request and applied them better than I expected. Definitely looking forward to coming back a lot more!

Went to the Beach Blvd location and couldnt be happier! Leo did an awesome job. He listened and gave me exactly what I wanted! Im going back for more work from him next week! The shop has a great atmosphere and super friendly.

I have been getting tattooed by Randy since 2006. There is not enough I can say about his talent and professionalism. His shop is always clean, I never feel out of place or not welcome. I mention this because these were the two biggest hurdles for my friends and I when we were searching for a studio/artist. His work is amazing, he’s a super chill and easy going guy that really has a passion for his work. I have sent him many referrals and he never disappoints. You may have to wait for an available time slot but I think that speaks for itself. He’s definitely worth the wait!!!

This was an absolutely incredible experience! By far the best time Ive had at any tattoo shop. We came for the Friday the 13th event, and all 4 people in our group that got tattoos are so happy with the result!The tattoo artists and other workers are so fun and everything was done excellently (shoutout to John, Amanda, and Danielle, the owners wife). The vibe of this shop was absolutely phenomenal! Even at the end of a long day the attitudes in the room were amazing and we had such a great time.

Randy is an incredible artist and friend. He is the only one I will let tattoo me. I have 7 tattoos all by him. He is a genuine person and takes pride in his craft. He listens to what you are looking for and delivers beyond your expectations. Cant say enough about his work. Go check him out you will agree!!!!

Great shop with a great crew checkem out🤘

Randy has done my entire sleeve on the left arm and is now starting on my other sleeve. He is friendly courteous and does amazing work. I definitely will not go anywhere elseI truly love his work!! Cant wait for more!

Randy is patient and professional when you come to him for tattoos. He gives you options on how it would look. He has done all my tattoos and I will continue to go to him for the rest! I highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed!

Walked in and they helped got to me immediately. Everyone had an amazing sense of humor. If you go, ask Marshall about the olives. It’s a fun story. Will definitely be going back for any other tattoo needs.

Randy is the man go to see. He does awesome work in a timely manner and in a speedy fashion. His shop is spotless and organized. Ive never seen him turn down any willing customer. He will keep going until you tell him you cant take any more.

HIGHLY recommended. Had a horrible experience with another tattoo shop and this place was able to get us in last minute and make it work! Everyone was super fun to be around and conversate with! Tattoos were great quality and the rates are very fair. Over all just a great place.

Valei Arts is the best tattoo shop! Very clean, and comfortable, laid back environment. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. Randy has done all of my art work & will continue to do so!

I got my first tattoo from Randy about a year ago. I am a fan of the FairyTail anime series so I drew its logo...polynesian style. Never seen one done this way. Gave it to Randy and he tattooed it onto my forearm! Really easy going guy. He did such an amazing job I would love to get another from him ASAP!

Randy is a true artist and his lines are clean and his freehand is amazing he has done all my tattoos and I have a full sleeve and chest peace all done in Polynesian tribal. If you are looking for an artist who can freehand draw or do portraits but most of all tribal ink look no further he is the best in the business 🤙🤙🤙

GoldieLocks was so amazing!! I came in for 1 dermal I needed up getting 2!! She was very sanitized and quick! She educated me on how to maintain my dermals! Ask for GoldieLocks for your piercings she’s the best in town!!!

Most of my family and I have been getting tattoos from randy, since 2011. Hes an amazing artist with an eye for detail. Whether its your first tattoo or 10th I highly recommend mr. Randy keener!

I will never go anywhere else to get a tatoo, Randy did such an amazing job!!! The shop is clean and they make you feel welcomed and comfortable. It’s a great atmosphere.

Absolutely amazing! Very professional made me feel right at home. Tattoo is exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend Beau he was amazing!! Thank you so much

Atmosphere was nice and receptionist was pleasant!! But I am not happy with the tattoo looks like a five year old wrote the names for my tattoo don’t go to Leo if you ever go

Go see Rob here and get amazing work done! We came here on our vacation and it was the best choice my girlfriend and I made all vacation! You will not regret a single thing if you come here. Amazing customer service amazing artists and a great atmosphere.

Rob did an amazing job!!!! Im so happy!!!! Atmosphere, customer service were awesome!!!! Definitely going back for work!!!💖💖💖🦄🦄🦄

Know Randy since middle school. He has done a lot of my work. I wouldnt go anywhere else now. Hands down probably the best in ne Florida. Artistic vision like no other. Ill be seeing him again soon! Need more ink!

Great work, variety of talent and styles. The studio is clean, artists spaced apart and everyones very friendly. Ive been a repeat customer for many years. If you want original art by someone who takes pride in their work, this is the place!

Hands down the greatest tattoo shop I’ve ever been to they helped me fully flesh out the idea I had for my design and they did an Amazing job on the tattoo and it’s details. I Would never go to any other shop again but this one

Tried to get tattoo and was told they couldn’t do it cuz it consisted of like 4 colors. Since when is 4 colors a lot?!

Randy took a lot of time to draw out my tattoo to make sure I was happy. He’s an artist with a vey relaxing positive nature.

The staff were very friendly. Beau was very patient with me . Would 100% recommend him for your tattoos!

My custom mahi n grouper poly piece. Never duplicated, original piece..

I get asked about my tattoo so much and I refer everyone to Randy he did an amazing job and I cannot wait to add to the artwork he has started!!

Marshall has given me 2 amazing tattoos and I definitely plan on getting more from him

Very Good Services! My daughter and I went without an appointment for a tattoo and we had no problem all very friendly. Tremendous artists!

Everyone here is amazing. But shout out to John! He does a clean tattoo and was super awesome!

The most amazing, incredible, talented artist in Jacksonville! Patient and creative!!! I, refuse to let anyone else touch me, because, their work wouldn’t compare to this art

Randy is the man, he has amazing work and has done a good majority of my art. Amazing shop !!

Randy is amazinggggg. I’m probably the worst when it comes to making up my mind. And somehow he always pulls it off 🤷🏻‍♀️
