Rocksteady Tattoo

Can say enough about how much I love this place! I’ve been here twice for work. Once with Connor and once with Mike. I had a great chat with these guys while getting inked and good conversation definitely takes the edge off of pain. Rocksteady has a very classic tattoo shop feel with the walls covered in old school flash. I have see a wide variety of different types of great looking work come from this place. Personally I love classic flash work and I love both pieces I’ve gotten here. Additionally, the location is a very convenient to get to making parking very accessible. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for artists that take pride in there work and enjoy traditional tattoo shop vibes.

We walked in and were greeted right away and introduced to Brandon. He did a fabulous job with what I wanted. Truly a professional. I highly recommend Brandon and this shop if you are interested in any type of tattoo. 💕

My girlfriend and I had a great experience!Brandon Glass did a great job on our tattoos!Definitely plan to return for more work!

Rich is a fantastic artist thats willing to draw up cool ideas and super easy to work with. Great conversation while hes working, and all of the other artists are super friendly, too. Highly recommended!

Dean was absolutely amazing! He did me and my SO in the same sitting, and both turned out great! I couldnt be happier with my new ink, glad I came here for my first arm tattoo. Thanks Dean!

Go here.10/10, clean shop, affordable, personable staff. Everyones there to make your tattoo ideas better.

Amazing place for one. Two the artist exceeded my expectations. I WILL be going back for sure! Great staff I felt comfortable the whole time. Best tattoo experience I have ever had. Thanks you guys.

Had an amazing tattoo done the other day by Brandon!! I am so extremely pleased and happy 😊!! Brandon added a family member’s handwriting who passed away underneath the existing butterfly tattoo! I am already brainstorming on my next tattoo and will definitely go to him to have it done!!

Had a great experience getting my first professional tattoos as a walk-in here. Brought in copies of my 2 cats’ paw prints with the intention of getting them on each wrist. Worked with the artist to make the prints more aesthetically pleasing and solid. Was in and out of the shop within 40 minutes, and I’m ecstatic over the final results. Thank you to the artist for such a wonderful and memorable first experience!

I booked with Will. Hes a great guy and very talented artist. Hes probably the only artist in this area that I would trust to tattoo me. His art definitely deserves more recognition. He was very accommodating too which I appreciate a lot. I love my tattoo. Extremely clean work. Thanks!

Stopped in as a walk-in with my friend. Front desk gal was extremely friendly. Brandon got to us right away and wiped up two fantastic designs. Then got us in and out in no time. Grate guy, great atmosphere, extremely clean and such a light hand. Highly recommended!

Went in at opening time on a Sunday morning for two walk ins. The artist was kind and knowledgeable. The receptionist however had a very bad attitude and ruined the whole vibe of the visit. My 4 stars are for the cleanliness of the shop and the kindness of the artists but I cant recommend going in and dealing with the receptionist if its your first time in a shop and you want to feel welcomed.

Brandon did a wonderful job on my tattoo! He gave me advice on what to look out for and if I had any questions I could call the shop. He kept asking me if I was doing okay during the process. He even changed his needle in front of me. Hes a really nice guy! If you are new to the area (like me) and are looking for a tattoo shop, this is the one! I had originally gone to a different shop before seeing Brandon to get a price quote. This other shop was going to make my tattoo way too big. Brandon made it the right size I was comfortable with! Ill definitely be going to him for another tattoo!

I have been going to Rock Steady since 2011, my artist since day one has been Will - and I can promise for as long as I live here, it will always be Will. Bottom line - he is insane talented, his work speaks for itself. We are currently working on a full back suit, and it has been an incredible experience - I have actually considered these sessions therapeutic in a sense. Besides that, which in my opinion is just as important - is decency and respect to the client. Will and the entire staff have basically made me feel like part of their tattoo shop family - the entire crew there is seriously rad and down to earth - super friendly and absolutely hilarious! I also love the Shop Manager Joey b/c he is always there if we need something, he is super organized, and welcoming to every client I have witnessed coming through the doors. As much as Joey is laid back and personable - he is just as much a solid professional who knows the ins and outs of the tattoo shop world. I am beyond grateful to have found a shop that I trust and consider my tattoo family. You guys are the real deal and I am super stoked to recommend all of you to my friends and family!

Lady in the front and a gentleman were sitting and talking when we came in. They were laughing and having a good convo but initially didnt acknowledge us being in front of them. I spoke up to let them know we were there and rhe gentleman got up amd went to the back. She said they take walking but prefer appointments. She said let me ask if the tatto artist will take you and asked both myself and son were getting tattoos which we were. When she came back we showed her the 2 we wanted to get. She responded oh no he wont do that today but you can try another studio. Ive gotten similar service at the Hampton location which Ive tried 3 times and no loner consider them for tattoos.

Came here for a coverup and a small tattoo, and i left really happy with what I got! Brandon was my tattoo artist, and he was super friendly and knowledgeable. I came in with just an idea and he drew up a beautiful design and made adjustments to make my vision come true. It was obvious that he cared a lot about the quality and permanence of the tattoos he was putting on me. I appreciated the time and effort he put into ensuring that I left happy while also giving me the best work he could.

If you are looking to get a tattoo, go here! If was easily the best experience I have had while getting a tattoo. My artist was Jesse, and he verified everything to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. His pricing was very fair and he took the time to ensure that everything was placed perfectly and constantly checked to ensure that everything was even and looked right. Jesse also stayed an hour after the shop closed to finish my piece and never rushed through it so he could go home. I am 100% satisfied with my piece. The shop is also extremely clean and everyone is very friendly. I highly recommend Rocksteady and will be going back for all of my future tattoos!

Jesse is my go to guy for my tattoos. I love going to Rock Steady Tattoo shop. One of the pieces was a family piece he did on myself and 3 other members of my family. Another piece he did was on me and my best friend and tonight he started on my half sleeve. The studio is always clean, the staff is always professional and friendly and above all, honest. My original vision wasnt possible because of the size of the piece, the piece I wanted, and a tattoo already on the canvas. However, Jesse came up with an alternative plan that will still bring my vision to life, in a completely unexpected fashion and I love how it is shaping up. He also connected my husband with another artist for his next piece. I love how the artists will refer to one another who is best suited to each style of work. You cant go wrong with this place. They are not cheap, but I stand by the motto that good tattoos are not cheap and cheap tattoos are not good!I will also add a huge shout out to Billi! My family came in to get another family piece done and he rocked us out. He created an awesome Cheshire Cat piece for us, and a memorable time that we will cherish. Thank you RST team. You are our go to for ink in the 757!

Finally Made it to The new location and it was wonderful! The Shop has a great atmosphere, extremely hygienic, The Artists are amazingly talented as well as very kind. Joey martin is my dedicated Artist who continues to produce amazing tattoos with the most gorgeous colors! I definitely recommend 🖤

Brandon did a phenomenal job on my new shoulder tattoo! He helped me change the design to make it last, had great conversation, and overall an amazing experience.

I went in to get a piece that was kinda special to me and I wanted it done locally cause of its representation. I talked with a artist about 30 to 45 minutes about a design and we seemed to be at an understanding . I made my deposit and came back in two weeks where the design was a nice price but could completely apart from what I had asked . Then he began to get really impatient and frustrated, proceeded to blame me for lacking description when he had clearly forgotten every talking to me in the first place . Proceeded to keep my deposit and when I went to drive away he was just smoking cigarettes laughing with his buddies from the store completely unphased by my disappointment. Just over all a very disheartening experience

I had an awesome experience here from the moment I walked in the door. The staff were super helpful considering I had no idea what I was doing since it was my first tattoo. Inside was very spacious and very clean and well maintained. As for the session itself, Will is awesome. I had a couple questions about the whole process and aftercare and he was knowledgeable and helpful. If youre getting a first tattoo I would recommend this place in a heartbeat and I plan to come back.

Got my tattoos (collar rocker & half sleeve) right out of Navy bootcamp/joining the fleet 16 years ago and I still get compliments. Im covered in ink now and the Sailor Jerry ink w/flare is still my favorite. Highly recommend this place. Thank you for being a part of my life 🍻.

My gf and I walked in to see if they were talking walk ins - March 12th.The lady receptionist didn’t even welcome us or smile anything, just asked what we needed. We then explained what we were looking for and she was BEYOND rude and made it seem like we were just wasting her time.I’m super sad as I have been seeing this tattoo shop and have been wanting to try it out but I will now never go back simply because of the rude receptionist.

Im currently working on a sleeve with Joey Martin. He was recommended to me by several people since I was interested in a watercolor tattoo. After looking through his portfolio I was sold. I cant say enough good things about this place. All of the people who work there are chill and down to earth. The environment and my artists skills will definitely keep me coming back! Check them out! You wont regret it :)

Just got my first tattoo here - it was an excellent experience. Rocksteady looks like you would expect a typical tattoo place to look in terms of style, and was very clean and well kept. All employees were helpful and in good spirits. My tattoo artist made sure that I was comfortable and happy with my tattoo, both before starting and after he finished. I would highly recommend this location to any person looking to get a tattoo!

I got tattooed by Mike a few weeks ago. Everyone in the shop is friendly and I had a great experience. Once my tattoo budget is up and running again I will absolutely be back. I highly recommend this shop! I cant wait to come back!

I had an awesome tattoo experience with Demon Dean. Hes very patient when I wanted to change the stencil a few times. Hes very professional and with it being my 14th tattoo it was my first experience being able to watch TV while I was getting tattooed. That was really relaxing and found a new show I love to watch now. Tattoo turned out even better than expected! Overall great experience!

Decided to get a triple frontal helix piercing and was really back and forth on it and where to go. I had such a great experience at Rocksteady though and couldnt be more happy with the piercings! They only have one piercer between both shops and he is awesome! He is really funny and knows his stuff! He made sure I had all the information I should know before making a decision on what earring I chose. They also are very reasonably priced which was a huge factor for me. I will definitely be going back for my next piercing!

Great place to go for a piercing! Atmosphere is very chill and the people there are very welcoming. The guy who did my piercing was very patient and made me feel very comfortable because I was extremely nervous. But he made it as quick and painless as possible. Definitely recommend this place!

Rocksteady is one of cleanest shops Ive been to and by far one of the friendliest with several great artists. Keith Maynard has continuously killed it every time I go back to add more work to my arms Im blown away with my results. He takes my ideas and turns them into something by far greater than I even imagined. I get approached in public quite often with compliments on my tattoos and feels awesome to know that others appreciate the art. I will continue to go back to Rocksteady and I highly recommend this shop for others as well.

Today I have seen a better organization to get a best tat. I went into with my little sister, and I have to say i was amazed by how clean it was and surprisingly spacious even the decor was awesome. If u want to get a tattoo with friendly people, I choose this place.I had to wait for almost an hour for the next artist. It was okay, I was occupied with my sister while we wait and the music was just perfect if u love old rock lol. The artist I got was Jess, he was very friendly and talkative to me and my sister while he did my tattoo and the tat was a very good price for a marine quote for my dad. Thanks alot Jess, I will be coming back for another one soon.

Great friendly people! Walked in to get a tattoo (no appointment made) they brainstormed some ideas with me and was able to get me done the same day!Tattoo was done well, clean, and looks awesome! Thanks Jesse! 10/10 will be coming back for more!

Great place! I got my first tattoo done by Jesse and Im glad I did. Great guys and awesome work. I will definitely be coming back for future tattoos and I highly recommend Rocksteady to anyone interested in getting a tattoo in the Norfolk/Hampton Roads area.

I have a entire 3/4 sleeve done with Davy about 2 years ago and people still stop me to talk about how bright and colorful it is. I have a med skin tone but I have seen his color look bright even on darker skin. His line work is smooth and very clean so over time small work doesnt blur together. Its the only place I would ever get tattooed. I moved away from the area but I would drive back just to get tattooed there. The studio is super clean and unlike the surrounding shops it looks tasteful and more upscale. They only hire great artists so I would trust any of them with something that lasts a life time.

I had the worst experience at this establishment today. I have gotten a tattoo done in the past here before and went very well. I also know others who love to go here. But today I wasnt expecting to get the service I received. I wanted angel wings with two halos on my wrist in memory of my grandparents who both passed within 5 months of each other. The tattoo artist drew a design and I said I liked it. As he was setting up, I got to thinking about how big it would be and wanted something smaller like a linear outline with two halos. At this time I was still waiting at the front desk and havent been seated in the room yet. I asked the artist if we could change it, not discrediting his work at all. He asked if it was a budget issue and I said no, that I didnt mind paying the $100. He said well I set all this up and you said you wanted this design and then said he wasnt going to do it. I was thinking really? I told him Im not allowed to change my mind?! Its going to be on me forever and meant a lot to me. He said nope I cant do it. I told my friend lets go and we walked out. I never felt so disrespected and humiliated in my life. Im still a paying client and dont you want your client happy in the end? That is what customer service is about, right? And what makes it worse is nobody, I mean NO ONE in the shop said anything and just let me walk out. Worst experience at a tattoo place. I wasnt even sitting in the chair yet and he could of handled it differently instead of basically telling me no and the end result be me leaving. Wont be going back there. Worse customer service!

Want some Japanese tattoos? Youve come to the right place. Everyone in the shop tattoos amazingly. Ive only had the honor of having Will work on my leg sleeve. If you want to see the artists portfolio, either visit the shop or head over to their Instagram @RocksteadyTattooshop

Had a great experience with Kale, their Body Piercer, hes very educated about what he does, and very professional. I had a bad experience at folk city tatoo and everyone their really made up for It! I tell everyone I know, if you want good work AND good customer service, visit Rock Steady! Their awesome 😁

Jesse is amazing! He added another gem to my collection. I will be coming again. Also, buy a bandana of theirs!

Had a very pleasant experience here. Staff was very courteous and accommodating. Jesse did a small tattoo for me and knocked it out quickly and it came out great. Ill definitely be back. Thanks Rocksteady!

I called today and got an appointment with jesse for an important native american heritage piece. He did an amazing job! It looks amazing and I couldnt be happier. He was really easy to work with and gave me his number and offered to touch anything up if I ever needed it for free. I recommend him! Ive also been tattooed twice by blake. He also did great work. Great shop and very clean.

I really enjoyed my time here. It was short due to the tattoo size. But over the moon with the tattoo and service. I loved how he ensured that the pawprint was as close to my dogs as possible. Definitely be going back. Thank you so much. You were patient with me and a lot of fun.

Blake does mine and my husbands tattoos. If you want a Japanese-style piece, hes your guy. Hes also perfect for anything with extensive line work. He works quickly and isnt heavy handed. Blake is very fair about prices and the time he spends with you (he doesnt take multiple smoke breaks like others Ive encountered over the years). Hes a cool f$&@ing dude and has become a good friend of ours.Cail has pierced me several times, both conventional and more taboo piercings. He is excellent! He has an overall calm aura that radiates to you and keeps you from being too nervous. He is thorough in every aspect of the piercing process and is refreshingly honest about what jewelry or piercings would look best for you. Should my kids choose to have their ears pierced I will bring them to see him. Hes that phenomenal!

I got 2 tattoos by Joey, both color and love them! He drew up some pretty awesome stuff and it came out even better than I was expecting. Highly recommend the shop...friendly staff, clean work spaces, excellent art... what more can you ask for?

Went to Rocksteady 1 week ago and got my first tattoo. I wanted something simple but meaningful and chose a phrase spoken by a very good friend. Jesse did an awesome job and it only took a few minutes! I was amazed and I love it! It took me a long time to get this one (Im 53) but when I decide to do the next one, I will definately go back to Rocksteady and see Jesse.

Billy is my tattoo artist. First I want to say the place is clean and a couple artist you could pick. Very professional down to earth people. I ask to get a cover up he didnt rush we sat down and came up with ideas until we both was happy. Came out awesome. Also not my first tattoo here I have three down and never regret it. I recommend to go here if you want your tattoo done and see for yourself.

Ive been going to Rocksteady since I moved to Hampton over 4 years ago and I have never been disappointed! Every artist has been helpful and welcoming. Blake has given me so much insight into my vision and helped me complete multiple projects. His artistry is amazing and I would recommend anyone to go see him!

Rock Steady tattoo shop is very clean and welcoming when you walk in.Custom tattoos are their specialty. Prices are reasonable.Tattoo ArtistJoey Martin was very professional, highly skilled, experienced in a wide variety of styles and has an excellent work ethic.Go see him for your tattoo ideas or bring your own in for his assessment.

Was there yesterday and today, girl at the front took my name and number to get back to me after she talked to an artist that had nothing booked for today, never got back to me. Went in as soon as they opened, she never talked to the artist yesterday, went back 10 minutes ago still havent talked to the artist with an open schedule for the day. Was told they were one of the best around but hard to believe when the girl at the front is playing on her phone or computer and not trying to keep business.

Made an appointment with Mike Higgins to get my first tattoo in a long time. He went above and beyond with the idea I brought him and it ended up being a really fun and relaxed experience. Tattoo looks sick and I will be coming back to let him do more.

Worked with Blake for my tattoo. It wasnt the easiest of jobs, but he still brought a high degree of professionalism and dedication to the table. Blake has much experience and wants to ensure that the tattoo you want gets made with best quality possible. Highly recommend

Went and got my first color tattoo from Blake today!!! Not only did he do an amazing job, he went way above my expectation!!!! I wasnt think outside the box for my color (3 simple streaks of color behind a 2/3yr old tattoo) and he came up with an even better idea! When I saw the finally result, I was so blown away at how beautiful and amazing it was that I was speechless and almost in tears!!!! Thanks Blake!!! And not only was Blake awesome funny and nice so was the rest of the staff! This is my go to tattoo place from now on!!!!

This place is very unprofessional. I made my appointment on Sunday, gave them the deposit, sent them the photo of exactly what I wanted. Later that evening, they called to tell me that Mike wasnt going to be available the following Tuesday, so we had to reschedule for a week later. I showed up about half an hour before my appointment only to have Mike tell me that he wouldnt do the tattoo that I wanted because he doesnt think it would look good, then tells me he wants to change everything about the tattoo because he doesnt like the design. I was getting a memorial tattoo for my son who passed recently, I wanted the tattoo matching his but was informed by Mike that the tattoo is a mess so he would change it completely or not do it. Theres no reason that I waited a week and a half to go to my appointment to find out he wouldnt do the tattoo that I wanted; he couldve called me any time before my appointment to let me know not to waste my time. When I was there making the appointment, we heard him two the guy scheduling that were here to make money! Obviously he isnt that concerned with the money or worth what the customer wants! I would definitely say dont waste your time with these guys, theyre a joke!

I went in and was immediately greeted. Showed what I wanted to get and they hooked me up! I wasnt in the shop no more than an hour. Jesse is an amazing artist not to mention a cool guy, will DEFINITELY be going back to him!

I came in to rock steady today due to an issue with a piercing I got done at a different shop. Cail was very helpful and he did an amazing job. He advise me on how to treat the piercing and changed my jewelry for me to the correct type of jewelry that should have been in the piercing from the get-go. I will definitely be back and I will refer my friends!

Ive gotten my last several tattoos from Silas Baker at rocksteady. I can not imagine going to anyone else now. He always takes my (not explained very well) ideas & turns them into something so much better than I even envisioned. Im blown away every time he works up a design for me & his work is amazing! Really cant reccomend him enough or say enough nice things about him!

I got a full sleeve done at Rocksteady by Billy Haughton. Its exactly what I wanted and it gets a ton of compliments. Ive also had tattoos done by Joey Martin and Jesse Avalos that turned out great. This shop has the most professional artists in Hampton Roads and I wouldnt recommend anyone to go anywhere else but here. Rocksteady sets the standard.

I went in for a small tattoo and I was super nervous. Jesse was perfect! He was very patient, quick and super easy to talk to. Best tattoo session I’ve ever had !

Mike the owner did mine and my sisters tattoos. He was gentle and very professional. Our lines look great. Cant wait to see how they heal! Xoxo thanks Mike

I had a great experience was treated professionally and respectfully. Tattoo came out better than I imagined all around good work with a great parking lot real easy to pull in and out in and out in and out. I would and will recommend anyone to go and get there work done here. Boom!

I’ve been tattooed here multiple times and, every single time, I have been more than ecstatic with the outcome. All the guys here are extremely skilled artists. Are you always going to get exactly what you bring in on a sheet of paper? Hell no. You can’t just copy a sheet of paper onto your skin. These guys aren’t going to jerk you around and put something on you that’s going to look terrible in a few years as you age. They will work with what you want and tattoo something amazing on you that will last a lifetime. Everyone here knows what they’re doing. I will always recommend Rocksteady to anyone who’s ever in the area and looking to get a killer tattoo.

Brandon Webb did my tattoo tonight. One word- OUTSTANDING! He added my late fathers signature to a firefighter helmet and he nailed it! It has brought my family to tears of happiness to see my fathers signature. He even touched up the helmet and it looks brand new. I will be back for more of his works of art. My daughter sees Joey Martin at Rock Steady as well. This shop is full of talented individuals.

Friend and I went in for walk-in matching tattoos of matchsticks, ended up getting two extra little pieces (Queen of Clubs & a piece of toast) by Connor & Will, great artists, clean & quick work. Thank you!

Very honest and straightforward. Fair prices. Clean shop with more privacy than other tattoo shops in the area. 100% satisfied with my tattoo. Would definitely come here again if I got a second tattoo!

I was recommended by a friend to come here during my visit through the area and Blake was awesome! He was so accommodating and extremely helpful in his recommendation on how to make the tattoo I want work best. Definitely would recommend Rocksteady Tattoo.

Got a nose piercing. the process was professional and easy however I came back with questions and concerns. their hours on there voicemail service was different than the ones they go by. I came by in the morning. the gentleman who saw me didnt even acknowledge me or my mother, he told the other employee around the corner of the entrance we arent open yet and kept walking. didnt ask me what the issue was or anything. (I was going by the hours provided on their voicemail) That was the first strike. I waited, when they were open I told them that the ring was stuck in my nose and the guys name that pierced it. they REFUSED to give me his name or number and told me hes only available on Thursday I had just got my nose pierced the week before that and it WAS NOT on Thursday lol . Im not sure what there names were but I know it was two gentlemen and a woman sitting a table in the corner of the building. They were pretty relaxed didnt seem too concerned about the customers needs. The woman was the only one who even ASKED what the issue was and tried to give me solutions. The men wouldnt even make eye contact ! lmao I dont know if it was a race thing or what but whatever. I can honestly say the service by the actual piercing artist was professional however the follow up, and or referring anyone to them I would not. Yikes.

I went here about two weeks ago to get my nose pierced.... Something Id been wanting for a while.... I have a very low tolerance for pain so I was a bit skeptical but my experience was great, it was clean/sanitary and a great atmosphere... Everyone was so pleasant. It was quick and painless. I would recommend this place go anyone!

I have close to 20 tattoos and they’ve all been done at Rock Steady. The artists are the best around and their prices are very fair. They have always exceeded my expectations.If you are looking for a place to get ink, this is it.

Love this place! The decor is cute and everyone is friendly. Got my nose pierced by Cail and it came out perfect. I’d recommend everyone to go him for piercings & S/O to little Joey for the great conversation 😊

They were very rude and dint want to give me the time of day at least on of the tattoo artist. The girl works behind the counter that helped me get some body jewelry was very nice though. Lead tattoo artist had a holier than thou attitude.

If I could give it a 0 I would. I went in today wanting to get a simple tattoo, the artist named Blake said I want to get out early on a Friday, I dont want to do your tattoo was extremely rude and told me to leave. As I was leaving the establishment I heard him screaming and cussing to the other dude about me.

Dean Baumgartner is one of the best in the business. A true artist and craftsman. His work is phenomenal to say the least. I cant say enough good things about Dean and his work. I highly recommend Dean. Very clean and professional with a great atmosphere.

Classy decor & sanitary conditions are most definitely met here. However, the tattoo artist I had was arrogant, snarky, and appeared to not care about the vision I had for my tattoo nor the price range I wanted to stay within. At $125/hr (they dont do flat rates when you show them a tat you want done) & youre led to wonder if they dont milk the hourly-rate system just a bit...perhaps its the ambiance youre paying the extra $$$ for. Ive gone for 2 sessions for the same tat (thought it would only take 2 at most!). I was never the one to stop the session - hed stop either out of his own fatigue/etc or need for a ciggie break. I was initially led (after I seriously pressed to get an estimate) to believe that this tat would cost around $450-500. Instead, Ive shelled out $500 for a job thats still incomplete and that will cost a total of at least $750-800 if I stick with him - Id planned on spending only $450-500 & let them know that from the very beginning....so I found another establishment to finish it off for a more reasonable price. However, the work (lines & vibrant colors, etc) is good...but only time will truly reveal the quality of this permanent art.

If you want a die hard traditional artist. Connor doest even do tattoos it looks like a sticker with how clean it is. Color looks the same as it did the day it went on months later. Havent seen another artist do traditional this well.

Rocksteady is my favorite shop out of all the ones Ive been too, Ive come in 4 times in the past 2 months! I personally go to Jake, but every artist has beautiful work and the atmosphere is amazing. I will always suggest rocksteady tattoo!

This was my first colored tattoo and Joey Martin did amazing! Every artist there has done incredible work. It is definitely worth it and the prices are not that bad at all

Amazing shop with great work, Rich has done all of my tats and does phenomenal work

I just got a tattoo done by Shelly, and she is amazing! Anyone who is looking for a great tattoo artist I suggest her to anyone and everyone! Shes funny and makes it feel personal by talking to you about the colors that would look best with the tattoo.

One of the best looking shops Ive been to. Dean did my tattoo and he does great work definitely going back to see him for my next session. Highly recommend!

Well worth the 4 hour drive! Silas did great work. Im very happy with the tattoo and cant wait for my next visit!

CleanGreat customer serviceCail did a great job When explaining About the piercings n the price was 35 n well spent!! Also did great job with my nose piercing ! He did awesome job😁😁They are so sweet n very humble people

Literally droven out of the store within 5 minutes. I walked in looking for a tattoo a drcent price for a simple tattoo pf 2 circles and color and was asked for 160 dollars when i was trying to ask for a lower price he said i much rather get out early on a friday and have i ever done thousands of dollars worth of tattoos? And good luck getting a tattoo somrwhere else all we asked was why was the price ao high THATS it, eventually blakes smell drove us out b4 he did , he probably wanted the extra money for a haircut he desperately needs.

Was a very fun time. Got my first tattoo the day after I turned 18, everyone was very nice and let me know everything I needed to know. Plus all the tattoo artists were attractive. And thats nice.

Alot of talented artists here. Ive been going to 1 artist in particular for 11 years and always satisfied with the work. Check out Rocksteady in hampton I reccomend trying to get in with Billy if at all possible.

The guy was not cooperative with us on what we wanted . He started getting irritated with us and ended up pressing super hard on mine . My tattoo is way thicker than my friend who got a matching one . Very impatient but other than that everyone else was nice.

Mike Higgins has done all of my tats and have always been pleased. Need to setup appointment to get my hands tattooed. Only trust Mike to do the work.

This is probably the best spot Ive gone to get work done. The shop is always clean and the staff is always welcoming. All of the employees are very nice and ready to help you out. I always go to Silas and he does amazing work.

When I had to cancel an appointment, front desk made it quick and easy. You can tell the shop is loyal to their own and like a family to each other. While it wasnt the place for me, it might be for you!

Ive been working on getting old tribal sleeve finished and reworked. Connor has been doing a great job fixing it (was a kitchen table job before) and the shop has cool vibe.

Dean is amazing. He was amazing when he tattooed me in the late 90s and he is still amazing. Im sure everyone else there is good as well. Highly recommend this place.

Just got an elephant head done by Billy and can I say, he put some thought into what I wanted. I showed him what I wanted and he put his own remix in! I love my tattoo and definitely will be getting more added in the future with him.

Got myself a new tattoo dring labor day weekends. Dean was my artist and hes very skilled. Love the art.

Connor created my vision for my hand tattoo! Everyone is pretty cool and personable. Highly recommend!

Ive gotten all of my tatts from here. These guys are THE BEST!!!!!!!! The staff is friendly, attentive and patient. I couldnt be happier.

Blake was my artist. He has an unfair rating on here about him not working with the customer to go home early. He just did an entire outline of a half sleeve until 9:30 on a Friday thats also the day before Christmas Eve. Very professional.

The receptionist was great and tried to be helpful. The artist was impatient and condescending. Other than the shitstick of a person that did the tattooing, everything was okay.

Loved my experience here, they made me feel comfortable and made sure that I loved everything about my tattoo. Definitely gonna be back for my next one!

My wife and I got our wedding bands done with Mike. The shop was awesome, the staff courteous and professional. I will definitely recommend this place to any one and Ill be coming back for my next piece.

Only person who even acknowledged as I walked in was the receptionist she was very pleasant however I asked the artists a few questions seems they where bored or uninterested in my inquiry borderline racist almost seemed as thought they didn’t want to service me at all

Had a great experience with Jesse. He took an idea of a traditional eagle tattoo and did an awesome job creating it on my arm. Thanks again!

Awesome tattoo shop and clean. My brother and I got out first tattoos here. Mike was fast and did amazing line work on my tattoo.

Gave them a deposit and had to reschedule. I followed their rules about rescheduling on time but they never responded until after the time of my appointment and that was done in a rude and snarky manner. If youre into crude language and accept that they will talk about you behind your back, go for it

Was totally disrespected at this establishment after waiting 2 hours for a walk in. Tattoo never happened because we were tweaking the look of the tattoo and wanted something that was permanent to look right. Do not come here if you want good customer service.

Joey Martin is the best. Hes worked on me several times and Im in love with my tattoos. Hes amazing.

I havent even went to this place yet and dnt even think ima go cause from what it looks like these ppl dnt give a damn about there customers why would anyone go to a place were the tattoo artist basically half ass there job I dnt want a permanent mark on me if there gonna charge out the pocket and plus I dnt do well with ppl disrespecting me so we would definitely have a problem

Great tattoo shop with the best artist; Silas Baker. Silas does amazing work and he always manages to draw and tattoo exactly what I was looking for.

Literally the best place to get tattooed! Very clean studio! Staff very friendly. Love the new location in Ocean View.

Got tattooed by Blake ! He did a great job ! I love it ! Great atmosphere everyone was very friendly :)

Will Hatchel is amazing. Perfectionist, exactly what you want from an artist. He has been my go to for years now.

Connor was great! We had an awesome experience & are grateful for his fine work!

Had an awesome experience on both of my piercings with cail harvey he did my dermal and my cheeks both came out awesome big thumbs up

I got several pieces done here, all turned out awesome. Mike and the crew are friendly and professional. Shop is clean.

Billy did a fantastic job with my tattoo. Got me in and out quickly. Will definitely go back.

Jesse is amazing, and I love being tattooed by him. Makes my experience there a good one.

Jared is such a delightful piercer and a wonderful human being! I will certainly be coming here again!

Got my first tattoo done by Mike. It looks awesome. I’m thinking about a couple more I want.

Love them! Will did a fantastic job on my tattoo and I am looking forward to adding to it!

Solid crew of tattooers. Go pick a cool one off the wall. It’s more fun than picking your nose.

Joey is great been tattooing me now for years.

First tattoo was done by jesse hes so awesome that I will definitely make the 6 hour drive to get work done by him

Jessie hooked me up and I love my tat.....looking to get inked again soon! Thanks bro

We were reasonably charged and the artists were friendly. The work was awesome!

Receptionist ladies were a lot nicer & more helpful than the actual artist.

Horrible customer service the girl at reception desk is very rude ... uncomfortable vibe soon as u walk in not welcoming at all...

💠5 stars because ONLY the BEST tattoo artist works here, my dad Demon Dean 😛💠

Friendly service, great artist, great prices, I could go on and on. Definitely recommend them.

Great service and awesome artist!

Best tattoo shop in the area. I wont go to anyone but Silas now.

Connor hooked me up with a dope face tatt. It healed up perfect. Good looks homie.

Fair price. Was not expecting the piece too turn out as good as it did. Great work!

Awesome tattoo shop. Been going to Rocksteady since they opened. Highly Recommended.

I have gotten 2 tattoos from here so far.. both of them from Joey Martin and Ill be going back for more

People here are great. Had a wonderful tattooing experience .

Awesome atmosphere, filled with great talent. Definitely recommend Rocksteady to everyone.

They told us they have a availability for walk ins but went there and told us we should’ve made an appointment. We already called why they didn’t told us to make appointment. It’s a waste of time. NOT PROFESSIONAL AT ALL.

Artist are good and prices reasonable, but customer service could be better.

Best place all around. Great artist. Very caring and professional.

Great people. Very good pricing for quality work. Would definitely recommend.

Did a quick walk-in with Mike! Excellent experience and will be back for more!
