I had two done by Jess the other day and not only are the nicest looking tattoos I have, they are also healing very nicely so far. She did a great job and I’ll definitely be back

I was able to walk in and get a great tattoo. Joey took great care of me! Im such a indecisive person, which can be tricky. I know what I dont like, but cant express or decide on what I do like. I explained this to Joey, and gave him the rights to do what he thought I would love. And this guy hit the nail on the head! And he has a soft touch , easiest and least painful tattoo Ive ever done. I 10000000 times will use him again and recommend him! I cant wait to see what he creates for me next

I had a great experience at Greg’s Tattoos once again. Joey did an awesome job on my daughter’s first tattoo so I had him do one for me and he did an excellent job once again. I will definitely recommend him to anyone who wants a tattoo.

Went in this afternoon with my son who had gotten 3 tattoos here previously. Ended up working through a parrot tattoo and skull with crossed swords with Joey. Couldn’t be happier. I have wanted a parrot tattoo for the longest time (big Parrot head), and love the suggestions Joey had. He listened to my thoughts, gave advice for the scale and art on the skin, and it turned out great!

I moved to the Hampton Roads area almost 3 years ago. It had been a while since I had gotten fresh ink, and I was overdue! I had been strictly black and white, but thinking about a watercolor piece.I randomly saw a post in an area FB group that linked an art page of a tattoo artist. It happened to be Skylar at Gregs. I messaged her and the rest is history!We chatted about my idea for a stylized watercolor semi-colon and she brought it to life! Since that first piece, she has done 3 script pieces for me in my familys handwriting, and Im getting another watercolor piece done by her this week!I cannot say enough good things about how talented, sweet, and spicy Skylar is. I LOVE her!The entire crew at Gregs is amazing. Personable, professional, welcoming and fun to hang out with. The atmosphere really puts you at ease. Every time I go in, its like visiting my friends (but leaving with some sick art!)I will definitely continue coming back and havent hesitated to recommend Gregs and Skylar to anyone who asks!

This shop is a goldmine. Incredibly nice people and even better artwork! Would recommend this place to anybody.Jess did a sparrow piece on my arm and I can’t stop staring at it! I don’t think she could’ve done better if she tried.Fantastic establishment. I think I found my new favorite tattoo shop!👑

Getting a tattoo is something that takes time. It not only takes time to find an artist but to find one that will listen to you and be patient with you, that can be hard. My first appointment I was supposed to start getting the first part of my 1/2 sleeve. Instead we spent hours getting the drawing the way I wanted it. Greg was beyond patient and understanding with me. He knew that this piece was going to be very personal, emotional and sentimental for me, as it is a memorial tattoo for my late husband. Greg is very professional, his staff is professional, they are such great people. My drive just to get to his shop is an hour and a half away. Let me tell you it has been well worth the drive!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Greg for fulfilling everything I had invisioned by pouring every ounce of talent you have into my piece of art.More photos to come soon! (New photos have been uploaded of the completed work) Patience is key, art work should not be rushed.Couldn’t just leave the inside of my arm bare and Greg did not disappoint!“Just Breathe” tattoo by Aubrie! Simple but perfect and her line work, just excellent!

I wanted to wait until I took off my second skin to write a review. I had Cierra and she did a fantastic job. The line work was smooth and the color is settling into my skin very well. She was very light handed and meticulous with details. She kepy me informed during the whole process. Keep an eye on this one.

I have been to Greg’s tattoo shop often in this last year. I have been coming up with one of his clients. The atmosphere is genuinely laid back, I never leave without a smile. The people who work here are funny and always welcoming!I have been tattooed by different people over the last 10 years. Obviously everyone has their own tattoo style and experiences with people. However, this is experience was different. I have always been nervous on getting a line work tattoo. If there is a slight mistake in a line you can see it. So I went to the tattoo shop yesterday 10/08/23 not expecting to get anything done. I have wanted a filler dainty tattoo on my forearm for a while now. So I showed Greg what I wanted and asked if Q could do it. Like really could do it! He said absolutely he could do it. So I put my faith into his work. I haven’t been this happy with a tattoo in a long time and I am beyond grateful. Thank you for the beautiful addition to tattoo collection! Can’t wait to see what we cook up next!Ask for Q!

My husband and I both got tattoos at Greg’s for the first time and the experience was amazing! Mine was done by Q and my husband’s by Greg. Their consultation, knowledge and precision resulted in the best tattoos we’ve ever gotten and we’ve gotten a lot! They take so much pride in their work and the customer service is top notch! The vibe in the entire shop is so comfortable it’s like we were being tattooed by old friends. Shoutout to Gabby also who took care of us at front desk. She was super sweet and patient with all of our questions. Can’t wait to come back for more ink! S/N: Greg also airbrushed t-shirts for us and they look sooooo good!!

Cierra did an amazing job on my lotus flower tattoo. She was very knowledgeable and thorough. She took the time to show me the needle packaging and description of the needles that would be used. Cierra worked with intention snd continuously asked how I was feeling and wanted to make sure that each step of the process was going well. After she was done, she discussed after care at length. I will definitely use her again for my future tats!

I went here for the first time a week and a half ago and Joey created a BEAUTIFUL tattoo on my inner forearm. I had an inspo pic but wanted completely different flowers, so he custom designed my piece and I’m obsessed. The flower details are lovely and I’ve already received several compliments. I will gladly see Joey again for more work in the future, and my husband is now planning to get his first tattoo there sometime soon too.

Shaye did a fabulous job on a tattoo I had been thinking about for a long time. She had a gentle touch and kindly talked me through all the different needles, colors, procedures, etc. It turned out beautiful. Greg checked on me a couple of times and complimented the tattoo as it progressed. Everyone was very friendly. You can see some of Shayes work at @s.scribble.f.w

Review №46

Ive been getting my ink done by Greg for close to a decade! During this time, this guy has opened another shop, started a tattoo artist school, voted Best Tattoo shop of 2020 and definitely has his next big move in the works! As I found the need for some ink therapy, naturally, I went to Gregs! Although this time was different...he introduced me to one of his students, Shaye! I was nervous but Greg assured me that she was more than ready and he could see we have a similar vibe...boy was he right! It took my trust in Greg as an artist and in return, his trust in Shaye to work her magic!She is super organized and her line work is INCREDIBLE! This is just the start for her! The talent she has as an artist (oh and shes an author too!)....Wow! Book your appointment NOW!!

This has to be one of the BEST tattoo experiences that I have ever had!!! I went in for a cover-up and Joey listened to what I wanted and delivered!!!! The entire staff was friendly and professional. While doing my tattoo, Joey was efficient and knowledgeable. He showed me the brand new needles he was going to use and opened them in front of me...I really appreciated that. I will suggest Greggs Tattoo from here on out. Beth, who works the front desk was a superstar as well! They were also upfront and honest about the pricing. I cant wait to return for my next piece.

What a great place to take your daughter to get her first tattoo! The atmosphere and all employees there make you feel so at home. Joey Williams tattooed my daughter and I with matching tattoos along with an addition to mine and touched up & covered up another one of my tattoos. With Joeys gentleness and sweet demeanor and Beths sweet demeanor and her big smile they made my daughters first tattoo experience absolutely wonderful. Greg attributed to her wonderful experience as well with his happy love life attitude, sweet demeanor and of course all of their laughs and stories. I would highly recommend visiting Gregs Tattoos LLC not just for tattooing but airbrushing and so much more. Thank you Joey, Beth & Greg for welcoming us into your family! Cant wait to see you guys soon!

Joey is my guy🔥! His professionalism is unprecedented. He actually took the time listen to my story and truly illustrate my ideas on my body in a creative way that speaks me in a way I’ve never seen done before. I loved how willing he was to teach me and others how and why he used certain techniques. He also did a phenomenal job explaining my aftercare and ways I can reduce inflammation in advance to optimize my color session in the future. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field and a true craftsman. I can’t wait to go back again. ❤️

Gregs Tattoo LLC has a very awesome atmosphere with down to earth people who definitely have a love for tattooing! I have been to many tattoo parlors, and Gregs has by far been the most personal, organized, and upfront when it comes to tattooing. I appreciate their clear communication as well. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking to get your first tattoo, your fifth, or even your last. Great people as well.

Went in for the Friday the 13th deal. I was a bit uneasy to sign a student waiver at first knowing that a student would be doing my tattoo. I was wrong, not only was Greg being active in supervising and overseeing the process of each tattoo the whole time, they were great artists. Joey was incredible, really nice guy and awesome attention to detail.I believe a lot falls back on the owners professionalism and ability to work with the artists and clients. Will be returning.

I got my first tattoo 2 weeks ago with Solo. I researched for reputable artists and came across Gregs Tattoo shop. Wendy placed me with Solo, who was AMAZING!!!! He explained the entire process in great detail and made the entire experience fun; so fun, in fact, that I came back and got another one.

Greg is an amazing tattoo artist. I’ve had him do two tattoos for me so far and probably many more to come. He really makes you feel comfortable and has such a light touch.

Couldn’t ask for a better place to get my first tattoo. They made me feel like part of the family immediately. Sky was awesome and hooked me up with a fantastic piece of art. Going back as soon as I can to get more done. Would recommend Greg’s Tattoos to anyone looking for quality work!

Joey did an amazing job helping me to memorialize two people I have lost in my life! I will forever be grateful for this beautiful work of art and memories. I loved how Joey explained the process to myself and my husband. I also loved how I was able to bring my small children and we were all treated with the utmost respect! Greg’s Tattoo shop will now be the only place I go!

Had driven all over trying to find a good tattoo shop for my sisters first tattoo but no place felt quite right until we walked into Greg’s tattoo shop. We were walk in at a later time in the evening and usually you have to have a consultation but they worked with us so generously after hearing how we drove all over trying to find the right place. They explain the whole process to my sister, explained the detail how the writing would look all before she even went back which was such a blessing! Their cleanliness was superb which gave me confidence during these uncertain times. Great atmosphere, and great people! Was very willing to take it slow for her first time and had such a calm demeanor. One of the best tattoo shops I’ve been in and they are BlaCk owned!! HIGHLY recommended!!

I am absolutely in love with my new art it means so much to me .Update I went back to Greg for a special to me tattoo and he went above and beyond with my art. I could not be happier!

3 friends and I took a roadtrip starting in Fl and ended up in Va and we wanted to get matching tattoos. Greg and his artist are amazing, very clean shop, friendly trustworthy staff. Greg was my artist & I couldnt be happier. I honestly wish I could pack up him & his shop and bring it home w me so I never have to look for another artist. Ive been tattooed many different states/shops this was by far the best experience. 100% would recommend!

Greg, the owner, was informative about tattooing and how he runs his shop. One of his students, Joey, was in the middle of tattooing but was still courteous and conversational. The atmosphere is inviting and Greg was able to answer all of my questions thoroughly. I will be attending again.

I took my daughter there today to get a small tattoo on the back of her neck. Everyone was so polite and welcoming. The place was super clean and nicely decorated. Greg took the time to explain each step of the process, even to the point of showing us the expiration date of the needle he used so we could be assured that it was safe - Ive never had anyone do that before. He was very careful with the placement of the tattoo, taking the time to make sure it was perfect. I could tell that he sincerely cared about making sure my daughter and I were happy with her tattoo. Everyone who was working there very obviously love their job and it shows. I will not hesitate to go back to Greg for future tattoos, and I highly recommend him to everyone!

Greg is my new favorite tattoo artist! As soon as I walked in I noticed how clean the studio was then I met his receptionist who was wonderfully pleasant and helped me immediately. I needed Greg to ‘fix’ some things I didn’t like about a tattoo I got in CA and he not only fixed it - he made it perfect! I highly recommend Greg for you next or first tattoo. I’ve never had a tattoo artist show me the expiration date on the needles before he opened them. He was very professional and a lot of fun to talk to. I’ll be back! Thank you Greg’s Tattoo!

We received exceptional service from both the owner Greg and another artist Sammie! They went above and beyond what we expected from the time we arrived until we left! I got my first tattoo and Sammie explained everything to me before we started and walked me through every single step until she finished my tatoo. I could not have asked for any better artist. I highly recommend Sammie and Greg!

Greg was super knowledgeable and very friendly. Very efficient and tattooed my whole crew. The fact that he isn’t too heavy with the pressure of the needle he’s a winner in my book. He’s into comics and sci-fi. All around great artist. He does more than just ink!! Check him out.

I came in on a whim and Mr. Greg shifted his schedule around to take me, I am so incredibly excited about my tattoo that is dedicated to my Papa that passed away in October. I brought in what I was going for and he made it look even more incredible than what I walked in and even made suggestions that made it 10 times better than what I came in with!

Greg was my artist when I went for a tattoo. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was light as well. The tattoo parlor was neither hot or cold, so I wasnt shivering or sweating profusely. The floors looked like they were cleaned regularly and the countertops were kept clear as well.Greg has good line work and a high attention to detail, which was good considering the tattoo I got was all lines.
