The woman who pierced my ears was great but I don’t love the jewelry. I don’t understand why they made it so hard to put back in your ears. The piercer responded to this and explained how to properly put them in which I appreciate a lot. They aren’t impossible but it is more difficult than average. Place has great vibes and if you are nervous about a first piercing Salem will take good care of you. She also helped me figure out a concept to make my ears look good. I get a good amount of compliments about my daith(i think). She gave me three piercings all at once and it hurt but barely and was as smooth as i could imagine. Also my lobe piercings are very symmetrical.Seemed expensive to me but I don’t have a frame of reference 😅. I wish they had some cheaper options but I understand what I got is actual gold so my ear won’t turn yellow.
I got my tattoo done by Morgan, and it was amazing. I love the tattoo so much, and she is so nice. The entire process up to getting the tattoo was easy for me, and Morgan was super kind. The shop was so cool inside; it had a goth vibe, but I prefer a darker area, so it worked out. I came late to my appointment due to traffic but was still able to be seen, and they were very understanding. I liked how the shop was empty when I got my tattoo, so no one could watch me struggling. She offered to finish it another day if it hurt too much, but I pushed through it. This was my first tattoo, and Morgan helped a lot. She dry + wet wiped, answered all my questions and concerns without judgment, which made me feel comfortable overall. The tattoo has healed well and has maintained its darkness.
I made an appointment in august for all the way in January, due to my school schedule. I wanted “fairytale” honeybees and got exactly what I wanted! Terry worked with my reference photos to create something more beautiful than I could’ve imagined. It’s healed very well, especially for a fine line tattoo! It was my first tattoo and everyone made me feel comfortable! This photo is 8 months healed.
Had an awesome experience at SinnerG! I got my tragus pierced with Salem. She comes highly recommended and did not disappoint. The shop itself was really cool and the person at the front was friendly. They have the best selection of jewelry and don’t pierce you with the standard plain metal bar which I loved! Salem was so nice, down to earth and funny. She was knowledgeable and clearly very experienced. She kept me informed about everything she was doing as she was doing it and made me feel really comfortable. She gave me detailed aftercare instructions and made sure I knew to book a follow up. The level of care was unmatched here. I won’t go anywhere else for piercings from now on!
This was my first time at SinnerG, and also my first tattoo. It was an amazing experience, as all of the employees and artists were friendly and professional. The studio is immaculately clean, well-decorated and has a great vibe.
I love SinnerG Tattoos! I’ve gotten two tattoos there from Terry and Morgan. Both experiences were great. The artists are committed to making sure you love your tattoo and their work is beautiful too. You’ll leave feeling proud to carry their work around on your body, and reassured that you chose their shop.
Great experience. Was very nervous but Eden at the front desk and my tattoo artist Terry were so sweet and accommodating. Terry does amazing work and made sure to work at the sketch until it was something both me and her thought looked great. Thank you!
From the moment I walked in I felt comfortable. Got my paperwork done then waited maybe 10 minutes when Terry came and took me back to her station. Her friendliness and professional was exemplary. She may have taken more time prepping then it took to do the tattoo. Very pleased with her work and have already requested she do another.
Samantha Brodek is an amazing artist. And she didnt awesome job on mine forearm. Shes also very nice. Which is not always been my experience with tattoo artists. The shop is very professional and responsive.
Best tattoo parlor Ive been to!! The inside is gothic heaven adorned with oddities and curiosities! Everyone is so nice and fun and Morgan has done two of my tattoos and she does an amazing job! Everywhere I go I get compliments and I will definitely be back many times!
Such awesome vibes in this shop. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was perfect down to the music. The booking process was also a breeze. I had a tattoo appointment with Morgan, who was able to take my design idea and turn it into something more beautiful. Super happy with my experience.
The perfect spooky atmosphere paired with the loveliest staff! Salem the piercer was a delight to work with. She easily troubleshooted old piercings I had gotten from other shops that never quite healed right and figured out how to make everything old and new look and feel great on my ears particular shape. This will be my go-to tattoo shop from here on out!
Salem, the piercing specialist, is always kind and caring. She is professional and has excellent communication with her clients. She even helped me a heal a rather nasty piercing I got at a different establishment in the Richmond area by replacing the jewelry and checking up on it regularly throughout this past year. I will never go anywhere else, Salem is the best!
Mada took my idea and made it into a beautiful work of art. She took her time to make it perfect and was lovely to chat with. The studio itself is clean, organized, and has a great vibe. Will definitely be back.
Amazing place to get a tattoo Everyone is friendly courteous and very professional. The communicate well with their clients and really listen to what their clients want. Highly recommend Always enjoy getting my tattoo there
What a cool space!!! Took my little sister here for her first tattoo. Terry was not only incredibly talented but sweet. She made our experience so safe + enjoyable. 10/10
I am absolutely blown away by this shop. Its clean and a super friendly atmosphere. Sabrina Elliot started a realism bobcat on my hand, she free handed it to fit and it turned out amazing! Everything from the consultation to getting tattooed went very smoothly! If youre looking for a fine shop with great art and friendly people then look no further!!🔥Update: 06-27-24🔥I scheduled a appointment with gwookie, once again, everything was super easy from start to finish. This guy is a master at what he does! He freehanded a super bada$$ raven and skull on my forearm. Everytime I have been here its been nothing but relaxing and fun! If youre in the market for a one of a kind killer tattoo, then this is the place!!Also, they have a cool place to look at there products in the front of there shop. Its truly a one of a kind place
I had an appointment with Terry to get a tattoo I had previously emailed her with confirmation she’d tattoo it. When I sat down with her for the consultation day of, she said she wanted to change the tattoo so it would be her own because of copyright? Copyright of a bumblebee, are you kidding? I told her I wouldn’t have booked and put a deposit down if she was just going to say she wouldn’t do the piece I presented because I had looked for months for this exact tattoo of a bumblebee and didn’t want to change anything about it. I should have trusted my gut and just walked out then because the rest of the experience wasn’t pleasant but having already put a deposit down I stayed. Her vibe was completely off and she just gave off horrible energy. Her line work is good but I haven’t recommended anyone to the shop just because of the experience with her which is really unfortunate because the owners were putting a lot of work into the space!
Getting my dream piercing turned to a nightmare. When I was initially pierced, the jewelry had no internal or external screw option so she struggled to snap it on but didnt suggest trying different jewelry. Im not the professional, I figured this was safe do. She said that in our next appointment that would change & she would order new pieces to make it easier on the both of us. That did not happen. None of my set was ordered or available when i came for my appointment so I had to wait again. The piece she used instead was snap on again but with a shorter bar this time. She then tells me shell contact me when my pieces have arrived & never did, I contacted her further & she said theyre still making the piece so I was stuck with the snap on set for another few weeks (I have a vertical labret). I became frustrated with the wait & decided to just keep this jewelry, but obviously I wanted to change it at some point. I got different jewelry & changed it with no problem. Now that I am trying to go back to my original, the piece is not only hell to put back in, the top post bent to a 90 degree angle & broke in the process so now I have to get a new piece asap or else I may have to lose the piercing. This saddens me greatly as I was so excited about this piercing & shop. I am not familiar with piercings, but I feel as though it should have been mentioned that the snap on set could only be put back in by a piercer considering that it bent & broke off when I tried to push the top back into the other piece of jewelry simply without clamps. I will definitely do my own research & be more adamant about what I want next time around.Edit: Had to take my compliment back after reading the response. Ignoring my emails, a supposed one-two week wait turning to 4-6 months without any kind of notice, now this. Of course I wouldnt put down a deposit; after claiming it would be ordered Twice (because you continually forgot me as a client) I just figured you may not want to work with me so I left it in your hands & did my own thing until I would hear from you. Which would be fine if you had just explained to me that you didnt order it the first time rather than posting CONTACT ME VIA EMAIL on IG continually and then not answering my emails for weeks, into months until last minute just to tell me its still not coming, even the piece you said would be easier to get, never heard from you again about it so I no longer expected a response. You said you would contact me to set an appointment, which I would have to make & attend in order to put down my deposit (why would I come that far & put down a deposit on something that was ordered twice but still hadnt come after that long...) If you said the typical wait for orders was 2-4 months I would have understood but you said shipping only takes around 7 days & then stopped contacting me... The person who changed my piercing was even confused as to why that piece was allowed to be used in the first place. Deposit or not, you knew I wanted to change my jewelry asap & told me twice that my pieces would come/be ordered soon so I remained hopeful that youd keep me in mind & updated & that they were on the way. I understand being forgetful without a reminder but you didnt even ask me to remind you or something, this cant be the first youre finding out you might need a reminder for some services you complete so its harder for me to feel better about yeah I just forgot you because I didnt have your money sorry as a response now. I would have responded in email, but your response felt passive aggressive & I dont think thats fair in this case. I was very excited to be working with you, I was even exciting after suspecting you forgot me the first time, but being forgotten again & seemingly ignored for months was disheartening & confusing considering we had such a good first appointment. No hard feelings, just a little disappointed about how youve went about the whole thing post piercing. Thanks for responding though.
Salem was amazing with my septum piercing, and are Terry is so talented, I couldn’t be happier with my new tattoo. Will definitely be coming back for more!
Amazing experience. Salem is an absolute wizard when it comes to piercing and if I have my choice I will never go to anyone else. (I live out of state so this is a huge endorsement.)
Terry worked with us to get a tattoo we have been dreaming up for several years. She delivers what we wanted. Was nice professional and all around a great vibe!
Got a double nose piercing by Salem today and they were amazing!!!! Super professional, thorough, explained every little detail. They took their time and made sure I was okay with placement and were so sweet! Not only is Salem a talented piercer but truly a gem of a person. Thank you Salem for making my bday piercing an amazing experience!!! Will definitely be back!
My daughter was getting her ears pierced for the first time on her 16th birthday. We refused to go to some mall outlet that may, or may not, clean thier guns. We met Salem Black online and knew that was the only way to go. She had a WIDE variety of choices in what we could get. My little gothling got a gold skull and a black ball. Salem asked if we wanted 16g or 14g. She explained the pros and cons of each and let us decide. She never pushed us in any direction but at the same time offered knowledge on both sides. My daughter is over the moon with her professional experience. The shop also had some of the most amazing shirts and witchy bath bombs. The Vlad Tepes shirt was a particular favorite of mine. There is not a person in this shop without expertise. I cannot recommend Salem and the whole staff enough. If you go anywhere else you are making a mistake. This shop, in my opinion, is the embodiment of goth, beauty, grace, and intelligence. Thank you all for making the best birthday ever.
Love everything about SinnerG! One of the best places Richmond has to offer. Beautiful and spooky, the space is incredibly lush with art and ambiance. I notice new details every time I go. Worth stopping in just to shop the cute retail space in the front and see the insanely cool things they have created and curated—but the artists are all fantastic too! Owners are lovely and friendly 🖤
I went to Salem for my nipple piercings and the process was wonderful. She explained every step of the way, was very professional and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend coming here for piercings!
After years of dreaming of a nose piercing, I finally scheduled an appt online for this venue (the site was easy-peas). Salem was recommended to me by a friend, and she’s ah-mazing. Truly. She’s kind, funny, and super knowledgeable + informative with piercing. She walked me through every step, making sure I felt confidant and comfortable. Super, super happy—with my look, and my experience!
Sabrina Elliotte is honestly the best. Her art speaks for itself (seriously, look at the work she does, it isb e a u t i f u l), but she’s also so kind, personable, and fun to work with! I’m so glad I got my first tattoo with Sabrina, and while our first session lasted most of the day, I got to hang out with Sabrina & Gwooki, who were just the sweetest. I can’t wait to plan my next tattoo with them ❤️
Salem is an angel - shes taken such good care of my piercings over the years. She has a very safe, clean practice and Id trust her with my life. She has an amazing selection of fine jewelry and if you want something she doesnt have she can get it. Ive also had an amazing tattoo experience with Terry. She took all my input and create a piece of art that Ill treasure forever. I have several tattoos and shes one of the few artists that made me feel the most comfortable. I even have plans for a second with her. Eden at the front desk is such a pleasure - she makes me feel welcome and warm each time I come. Shes amazing at managing such a great bunch if folks.
Jorge and Sabrina are more than great artists, they are great people and I have had a blast every time I have been in the shop with them.I have been a client of Jorge (Gwooki) for almost 5 years. Jorge has incredible attention to detail in his work. He has always strived to do his absolute best in designing and tattooing every piece we have worked on.
Super friendly environment, highly curated from aesthetic to artists, and can personally vouch that Terry Downs is an assassin wielding a tattoo gun as her weapon. Highly recommend 🩶
I started seeing Sabrina last summer for a big project because I love her work. Every visit has been wonderful! The atmosphere in the shop is awesome (the dynamic between coworkers, music selection, killer decor), and I always feel welcomed when I walk in the door. Our conversations are great and I really enjoy spending time with her at each appointment. The work she’s done for me is incredible! Highly recommend!!
Sabrina is an amazing artist. I can’t fully express how incredibly fortunate and honored I feel to have been tattooed by her. I chose her specifically for her expertise in fine line blackwork, and I got an exquisite design which I absolutely love
Mixed review...Salem is THE BEST. Get pierced by her, you won’t regret it! She’s so sweet and talented.Terry is super talented and you will be happy with her work once you get past her rude attitude. I had a really rough experience with her fighting my design and telling me she didn’t like it. I spoke to other people who had the exact same experience. It’s strange how abrasive she is with her clients. Not the positive experience I have had with other tattoo artists!
I LOVE SinnerG! Everyone that works here is the kindest, most helpful beings. I have three tattoos from Sabrina and I would follow her anywhere for her work. She is a brilliant artist and always delivers the highest quality. I also have worked with their piercer, Salem, and she is a dream. This shop gives off a vibe that makes you want to keep coming back. Can’t say enough about it. Thank you to everyone there for being so friendly and professional :)
Location: EZ to find on Broad streetAtmosphere: Very cool most has been hand madeCustomer Service: Super nice and friendlyCleanliness: Extremly cleanExperience: 10/10My tattoo with Mitch is way beyond my expectations. It looks so real, its hard to believe its a tattoo. The shading and the line work are amazing. He is friendly and was not in any rush to finisih. I felt his only goal was for my tattoo to be a work of art. I had to go on a waiting list but well worth the wait. Looking forward to Mitchs next work of art.
Terry Downs is extremely hostile and rude. Her work is fine, but she is controlling (not out of what’s best for you but what’s in her best interest) and extremely unprofessional. No matter how thorough the online consultation is she always unprepared and waits until your appointment to go over any concerns/artwork she isn’t confident in her ability to do. It defeats the whole point of the “consultation” but by then you’ve already put down the non refundable deposit🙃
Salem was an absolute angel! She made me feel comfortable and safe; she explained every part of the piercing process and answered all my questions patiently and in detail! I will definitely be going back to Salem for any future piercings and will be referring her to everyone I know!
Salem is an amazing, friendly, knowledgeable piercer and I love her to bits. She makes every effort to make me feel comfortable in her chair and make informed decisions. She explains every step of her process, why she is doing it, and how. Over the past year I have not received any piercings other than from her and I live over an hour away. She is worth the travel, wait, and cost. (Their receptionist Eden is also a perpetual delight!)
I got 2 conch piercings with Salem and the experience was amazing! She was super nice from the time I walked in and helped me decide on cute cohesive jewelry that I’m IN LOVE with. She also helped me with a healing piercing I was having issues with and everything seems great so far. The shop was clean, the staff was friendly and the jewelry options were incredible, 10/10 stars!
Words can not express how pleased I am with this shop. I got a tattoo and followed it with a piercing. Terry was amazing & her work is gorgeous. She was awesome. I am so happy with my piece. Salem is hands down the best piercer I have ever had. She really knows what she is doing and wants you to be happy with the piercing. The quality of work from all the artist here is immaculate.
I love SinnerG, was recommended by a mutual friend to Terry D. I had an idea in mind that was a bit complicated to illustrate with a tattoo (tribute to one of my favorite poems by Shel Silverstein) Terry came back with a draft of the piece and I loved it, one of my favorite tattoos.
I’ve gotten two pieces done by Sabrina and they’re absolutely pristine. The shop is extremely clean. Everyone who works there is generous. Always an amazing atmosphere in there! The works I’ve seen done on other customers by Gwooki and there other artists have also been beyond perfect. Already have my next appointments set up to finish up my sleeve and I’m extremely excited to get it done by Sabrina! Nothing but professionalism for SinnerG Tattoos. 110% recommend getting your tattoo done here!
I have been seeing Salem for three years, and I cannot recommend her enough! I think the fact that I continue to come back for her piercings continuously year to year show the quality and care she puts into her work! I haven’t been disappointed once and even when a piercing didn’t work with my anatomy, she took that into account and offered and alternative that would be a similar placement and work on my body. Even since moving to Boston two years ago, she has been my only piercer, and I will continue to stop by SinnerG to be pierced by her every visit when I’m in Richmond! Go! You won’t regret it!Salem pierced my septum, double mid cartilage, upper cartilage and flat combo, double tragus, conch, faux rook, and nipples. She also replaced the jewelry in my daith and has anodized my posts and jewelry to match the yellow gold look I prefer!
I’ve been seeing Salem for a few months now as we begin working on numerous ear piercings she planned out for me! I absolutely adore her, she is so kind and patient with any questions I have and SO SO knowledgeable about piercings/diff metals/all that jazz. Plus the shop is SO GORGEOUS 🖤 Can’t recommend the place enough
I got my first tattoo from Terry and had the BEST experience. She made me feel so comfortable from the start, and when we both agreed that we needed more time to perfect the design at my initial appointment, she fit me in two days later so I could get my tattoo before I left town—I never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision. My piece is absolutely beautiful and better than I imagined. I highly recommend Terry and Sinner G!
Took my daughter for her first piercing. The shop is really cool. The staff, man let me tell you they are awesome. Friendly knowledgeable and just all around great. If you want a piercing and tattoo (from what I saw of the artist working) I highly recommend SinnerG.
Salem was amazing! She communicated everything clearly and took her time to make sure I would be happy with the results. I was nervous because previously I had my double nostril piercings done at a different shop and they hadn’t been even. She took time to mark the area and repeatedly checked the marks herself as well as having me look at them and explained why she put the marks where they were. She answered all my questions and made sure I was educated on the healing process. I can’t wait to go back it’s definitely worth the hour and twenty minute drive for me!
Salem was so incredibly kind and gentle! I got my flat and tragus pierced and she was a pleasure to work with. She was also very patient when I went in for jewelry adjustment and dealing with my tiny ear holes was quite a challenge in adjusting the tragus. Everyone in the shop is so lovely and also it’s an amazing place to get spooky gifties. A+++ experience all around.
I got my first nose piercing here by Salem and I couldn’t happier with the result! Everyone at the shop was so kind, welcoming and helpful. Salem explained every bit of the process, did a thorough job of ensuring a pristinely clean environment, and was detail-oriented. It’s very clear she puts a lot of thought into every piercing she does and that she is a highly experienced professional.
I highly recommend Salem for piercings! She was incredibly patient with me from the very beginning and put me at ease. I had a TON of questions through email and she responded right away. Ive had painful piercing experiences in the past (literally and figuratively!) and this was the complete opposite. It was enjoyable! Even the piercing felt less painful than my past experience, and she was so much fun to chat with. Definitely go see her!
Salem is a fantastic piercer!!!! She worked with me, listened to what I wanted, answered my questions, made informed suggestions and got me a high quality custom earring at a great price. The day of the piercing everything was hygienic and ready to go. The prices were great.
Salem is the only person I’ve let pierce me for the last 5 going on 6 years. When she left her previous shop, my friends and I spent months hunting her down to her new one- She’s THAT GOOD. She’s incredibly kind and makes every piercing go smoothly, not to mention how knowledgeable and talented she is. If I could give her 6 stars I would. Stop waiting- GO TO SALEM.
I received a tattoo from Terry about a week ago and I can’t explain how awesome both she and the tattoo was. She took the design I verbalized and produced an image that was exactly what I had been picturing. After we already agreed on a final drawing, I had a quick question about the design, and she was very calm and patient while she once again talked me through the image. When it came time for the actual tattooing, she was very hygienic and was a lot of fun to be around! Terry very quickly created a flawless fine line tattoo that is beautiful. The healing process has been exceptional, and everything is looking great. I would 10% recommend Terry to anyone who was thinking about getting a tattoo. Also, a quick shout out to SinnerG as the studio was very clean, professional, and health conscious – which is even more important with the Covid-19 pandemic. I can’t wait to go back for another!
5 out of 5 stars / would recommend SinnerG to anyone in a heartbeat. (I can’t wait to go back!!!) I received my first tattoo with Sabrina at SinnerG and the whole experience was AMAZING. I loved everything about the process from our initial conversations to the final “that’s a wrap” moment. 😊It’s HIGHLY important to me that my tattoo artist give me time to talk about the design and express what I’m looking for without feeling rushed. Sabrina gave me the time I needed to talk thru my concept and not rush me. I have six tattoos now and I can tell you that while I always take plenty of time to research who I want to work with, Sabrina ranks super high on my list as a whole. She was on time, prepared (I’ve walked into appointments with other artists/studios and felt the complete opposite 😆), professional, and ready to jump into the whole design conversation when I arrived. (And the studio was clean, clean, clean!) Yay!Richmond is a super special place for me and my partner - and this tattoo perfect encapsulates that feeling/recurring theme perfectly. I love this city and it’s people. 😘Best of all - I LOVE ME NEW PIECE! I am so amazed by Sabrina’s talent!!! I couldn’t have imagined a better design, and the whole process was so FUN! It’s so awesome to connect on a deeper level with Sabrina - and the rest of the SinnerG crew! I loved them all. I really encourage you to review their portfolio of work and sign up to work with someone there to get a tattoo or piercing! 🌸
I love this studio! Sabrina Elliotte is a very talented and kind artist. She is very considerate to her clients and has a very light and delicate hand while working. She is very accommodating to her clients and ensures their satisfaction before, during, and after the tattoo. Great service, great quality, and great people.
I’ve had work done by Jorge, Sabrina, and Salem. Everything I have gotten has been perfect. This is the shop to go to if you’re looking for creativity and beautiful art. The vibe of the entire shop is welcoming and comfortable. Everyone is having a good time and friendly with each other. By far my favorite place to go for tattoos and piercings.
I cannot say enough good things about Sabrina Elliotte. As an artist and as a person she is just wonderful.Two years ago I went to her to get a decent sized upper arm tattoo, after not getting a tattoo in 8 years. I gave her a bunch of vague ideas and noncommittal answers and was just generally the worst. She came up with a gorgeous piece and spent the next few months working on it. I came back a year later wanting to add on around the edges, and she jumped right in. You can’t tell that the outer inch was done a year later, because she made it all blend in so seamlessly. The detail and the line work are just stunning, and I have had probably two dozen people ask me where I had my tattoo done.On a personal note, Sabrina is just a truly lovely human being. She is kind and generous and really cares about people. In fact, I was a little bummed when we were done because I was so used to hanging out with her every few weeks!You cannot go wrong with SinnerG tattoos, and I would recommend them every time.
Terry was so great! She was prepared with my design when I came in and nailed exactly what I wanted. The process was smooth and she was very personable. This was my first tattoo and it was an awesome experience! I was very impressed with how nice the staff is and how clean everything was as well.
Sabrina did an amazing job of personalizing my tattoo. It was my first tattoo and she talked me though the process and really made me feel comfortable/confident. It was a relatively small tattoo but she paid so much to detail, I was very very impressed with her work. I 100/10 recommend getting your tattoo from sinnerg, I don’t think I could ever go anywhere else.
Salem is the best! She made me feel super comfortable during my consultation and the day of my appointment for my nipple piercings. She answered all questions and also provided thorough information that I didnt know to ask. Due to the NSFW nature of my piercings, I will not post photos.
My mom and I came across Sabrina and her work and asked if she would be interested in doing a mother/daughter matching compass & flower tattoo on our fore arm. Let me just say, Sabrina is absolutely incredible at what she does. She takes attention to detail not just in her tattooing but also listening to her customer of what is desired for the tattoo design. Her line work and shadowing is amazing! She also makes the time spent in the chair enjoyable with her laid back personality. She has definitely earned a loyal customer in me and I’ll be returning to her for more work!
After scheduling a tattoo appointment with Terry I started looking into the other artists and stumbled on Salems IG. Shes a true artist. A next level piercer and I knew I needed it in my life. During my appointment, not only was she super excited about what I wanted to get, but she had all kinds of ideas for me. I loved her energy and enthusiasm, and I cant wait to work with her again soon!
After my beloved dog passed away, I knew I wanted a tattoo to commemorate her and I went back and forth on what style I wanted. I was afraid of getting a portrait because I wanted it to be perfect. After seeing Sabrina’s work, I was confident that she could do it. My tattoo is absolutely perfect and looks exactly like the picture I sent her. It’s also noteworthy that it’s a pretty small tattoo and she still put in an incredible amount of detail. Aside from being super talented, Sabrina and Jorge are also really friendly and down to earth, which makes for an overall pleasant experience. Highly recommended!
Amazing tattoo studio. I started going here after talking to Jorge, one of the owners, and have not stopped going. The staff is very welcoming and take into account the customers opinions and interests. On the occasions that I needed to reschedule they did not have any issues and gladly adjusted. The artists are very personal with the clients and adjust the artwork as need be to meet every persons needs and wants.
SinnerG is one of a kind! From Edens incredible customer service while booking to the magic tattoo work by Terry, I could not be more pleased with my experience at SinnerG. The vibe of the shop is SO COOL. Already can’t wait to go back for a piercing by Salem, who pierced my friend, and was the nicest person ever.
Sabrina does some seriously beautiful work. Her style is hard to come by where I live, so I was so excited when I found her. She worked with me on the design and was extremely meticulous during the whole tattoo, making sure everything was perfect! She was also super easy to talk to which made the time go by so quickly. Id absolutely recommend her if youre looking for something whos going to put every bit of time and effort into their work!
Fronkie was a delight to work with. Her art work is amazing! shes easy to talk to, no awkward silences, I was able to zone out when I needed and get a few stretches in. You can tell she wants her clients to be comfortable during the procedure. Youre going to be there awhile, so you should be as comfortable as possible.When I walked into the studio lobby I felt like I was home. Loved the Gothic, dark decor of the place. It really spoke to my inner Goth.I will return for my next piece and highly recommend this place.
Amazing piercing experience! 😍 Made me feel so comfortable which helped with the pain. The decor is phenomenal which also put me at ease. She was knowledgeable & actually explained the technology behind the piercing because I was curious. (Piercing guns are dangerous). Thank you! Will be going back!
This places houses the piercing MASTER. No one but Salem will ever put a hole in my body again! Shes knowledgeable, sweet, and personable yet professional. 1000/10 highly recommendBonus points for handling my crazy 7yos first ear piercings like an absolute champ.
Everyone in this shop is so kind and the decor is stunning! I went in for my appointment with Salem for a piercing. She is so sweet, professional, and sanitary. Especially in pandemic time, its nice to know the precautions taken to make sure its a clean and comfortable experience.
Terry is super talented and I loved her work. I was a little disappointed with the professionalism as I made an appointment for November back in July and when I showed up at 1 pm for my appointment I was told to come back at 3 since she was running behind. That was okay with me because things happen. Then I got a call again from Terry asking if I could come back three days later and when I said no (since I was coming from out of town), she said she could see me at 4. Just kind of sad that I was so excited to have her tattoo me for them to ask if I could come back three days later, making me worry that she did not give 100% for my tattoo when I showed up at 4.
Traveling for work, made an effort to reach out via email and pass along my interests for a small ear tattoo. Talented artists should be able accommodate their clients, at the least make a recommendation to continue that business relationship.Received an email reply that all their work is “medium-large” pieces. Understandable, they could’ve done better though. Two stars for lack of effort.
Salem has been my piercer for years! I don’t trust anyone else to do my piercings, especially after having multiple bad experiences at other places. I will always recommend anyone to see Salem!
This Tattoo Shop is Right up my alley, the Metal and Gothic Theme is so Rad I’ve been getting Ink done by Morgan she does Awesome Ink Work, I Highly Recommend!!!
I worked with Terry at SinnerG for my first tattoo. Everyone was so friendly. Super clean atmosphere. They were quick to respond to my initial inquiry and all follow up emails. Terry was able to make the perfect magnolia design from the example pictures I sent her. Definitely recommend Terry ❤️
This is the second time I got tattooed by Sabrina and the woman literally takes the idea I have in my head and tattoos it onto my body. She freehanded both and I’ve never been more satisfied with my tattoos.I love working with her overall because she cares about building a relationship with her clients and you can tell she really values the work that she does. I’m SO happy that I found this place.-Maya
I have two tattoos by Sabrina and will be back for more! She is such a kind human being, each time has been a pleasant experience as Sabrina is very professional and easy to talk to. Her style is top notch and just what Ive been looking for. A lot of blackwork but very delicate and feminine. One of my tattoos is a portrait of my rescue pup Brewer and she blended realistic and blackwork PERFRCTLY. Very much so willing to work with you and accomadate to make sure you are getting exactly what you want. Highly recommend!!!
Ive been to SinnerG three times so far and have every intention of going back for more tattoos with Terry Downs. Shes exactly what you want in someone putting things on your body forever — a stellar artist and super honest.Shes listened and guided my ideas with sincerity and a commitment to the concept, while gently steering me away from some of my more prescriptive (and honestly mildly catastrophic) ideas. Ive always felt like I get to be a part of an artists process in our collaborations on design ♡I appreciate that she worked with me on the look and feel that was right for me and my body, and Im just super stoked to go back and work with her again. The work is impeccable, I get tons of compliments and I love looking at each piece shes done. Excited for more in the near future! 😈
I’ve seen Sabrina for multiple sessions and she is truly a master at what she does. She is extremely sanitary and professional, and makes sure that her clients feel comfortable. I plan to go back to her for many more tattoos in the future and I 100% recommend her.
I can’t say enough good things about Sabrina Elliotte. Her work is amazing, and she did an amazing job of bringing life to a portrait of my pet. The tattoo itself took most of the day and I enjoyed getting to know her and her husband Gwooki, they made a comfortable environment which is important. I will definitely be sticking with Sabrina for all future tattoos!
Checkout Terry downs at SinnerG tattoo. Her work is amazing we can’t say enough on how happy we are with what she has created for my wife an I. The attention to detail with her art/tattoo is by far the best around. If your looking for a new tattoo checkout Terry Downs you will be extremely happy you did. I am looking forward to having my next tattoo done by her soon.
I’m sure some people have had great experiences with Terry Downes, I believe that if you like the initial sketch she shows you, you had a completely different experience from me. When I did not like the sketch she showed she became extremely hard to work with. She wouldn’t listen to anything I said and wouldn’t even try to make the sketch better. She was adding sloppy lines and expecting me to put it on my body? This was a few months ago and I’ve had no interest in getting a tattoo since bc if this is what I should expect from tattoo artists then I’m out of this game. I had a friend with a really similar experience with her stubbornness. It’s really frustrating and makes you think your the problem, we sat there for a painful hour trying to figure something out but I had to walk out. She was a nightmare and needs to work in her attitude. It creates a hostile and intense tattoo experience. If you have had good experiences with her that’s great, but be warned if you don’t like her sketch, it will be a rough experience. Clean place though
Sabrina took my sad tattoo and turned it into a beautiful piece of art, she made it look better than I ever imagined it would look. She was also so incredibly attentive during the whole process, always asking if I wanted water or coffee or numbing cream. I wouldn’t ever dream of going to a different artist for any detailed/floral work, Sabrina exceeded all of my already high expectations. Such an amazing person, 14/10!!!
I got my tragus piercing done here today and it was a fantastic experience. Everyone at the shop was so kind, helpful, and professional. The jewelry is obviously high quality and beautiful, and the shop takes cleanliness very seriously. I would 100% recommend this shop to anyone!
One of the best tattoo shops in Richmond. Local with a real commitment to Richmond based art, tattoo supplies and a very “Edgar Allan Poe”aesthetic.Love the work from all their artists, especially terry downs! She has some of the best fine line work in Richmond, and I trust her for all my tattoos with scripting. She’s also had her work featured on Tik Tok, so you are in beautiful hands!
I had 2 sessions with Sabrina and loved all of it! She is professional, easy to talk to, and her work is incredible. She took my words and drew it toperfection! The details constantly make people stop me and ask who the artist is. I would recommend this shop to anyone who wants art work to be proud of!!!!!
GO GET PIERCED BY SALEM NOW, THIS IS YOUR SIGN. I went in to get some piercings redone after taking them out for years. I was able to go back and forth with the piercer about what I wanted and she answered all my questions online ahead of my appointment. And once I got there she worked with me on a game plan for the work needed after a consultation for my anatomy and level of scar tissue. After we agreed on an approach she had everything setup and sterile. She communicated every step of the way. When the initial approach wasnt working out to her satisfaction she came up with a new plan of action, explained it thoroughly, got my consent and made it work. I had a blast while there and could not recommend this amazing person any higher, if youre in the area THIS is the place to go. The shop took COVID protocols very seriously and I felt safe there
Unprofessional and uncourteous establishment. I made an appointment for a phone consult for October 11 in April. The time for that consult came and went so I called the shop. I was told that Mitch was out of the country and unable to do my consult that date, they would let him know I called when he was back. I called a week later and was told that they were busy and backed up, but they would let me know when my consult could be rescheduled. I called again today and was told again they were extremely busy. Its frustrating to be excited about a tattoo and an artist when an appointment is made in April for October and then not have my time or value as a customer be considered. There are plenty of other shops in Richmond that are just as good that treat clients as valued people to go to instead. I would not recommend this shop or Mitch.
Gwooki is an amazing artist and I love my tattoos. He did one large tattoo on my arm and one large one on my leg. I am constantly getting stopped and complimented on them. Went well beyond my expectations and I could not be happier with the end result. If you are looking for an amazing tattoo and artist you cant go wrong with Gwooki & Sabrina! I recommend them to everyone I talk to.
Sabrina is incredible. She took my ideas and made them even better than I could have imagined. She’s also super kind and gentle. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’m in love with my tattoos are absolutely perfect.
Can’t say enough great things about this place. I truly had a great experience getting my tattoo done at SinnerG Tattoos. Amazing and wonderful people who are dedicated to making your tattoo and experience the best it can possibly be. 100% had a great time and would do it again in a heartbeat.
Best tattoo artists in rva - hands down - I have 20+ tattoos and trust me I know . Super clean super professional and you will get your tattoo dreams met !!! Gwooki Fronkie Sabrina that is where it’s at !!! I have gotten also piercing from Salem there and it is amazing !!!
Ive had a fantastic experience having George design and complete my tattoos. I went to him for my very first piece and he was so personable and talented that I will go to him for any others I get in the future. Flexible with scheduling, patient and dedicated to awesome work that I get compliments on regularly!
If you want to get a tattoo or want a piercing in the Richmond Va area. SinnerG Tattoos is the place you want to go. Also, the shop is where the Memento Mori video from Lamb of God was shot. If its good enough for LoG, its good enough for YOU! Highly recommend! Its a unique blend of dark arts, tattoos, haunted house, and fantastic artists!
Went in today for the first time after following Salem on Instagram for months. The entire piercing experience was phenomenal. Cannot recommend their services enough!
Absolutely a 5 star. Between the energy of the artists who are just genuinely passionate people, their story, and especially the intricate quality detail of the finished products, this is a shop that I will rave about until the end of time. If you have an idea, they have the creativity and skill to make it happen. It’s there in the name - Sabrina & Jorge are synergistic with each other, their clients, and their trade. The artwork speaks for itself. Thank you both ❤️! Can’t wait for the next round !
Terry Downs was incredibly hostile, impatient, and rude. She made me feel like I was the problem. Not only do I have subpar tattoo work on my body, but I left SinnerGs feeling and still feel triggered by my awful experience.
Sabrina and her husband George, their work is pristine ! I personally go to Sabrina and she blew me away with the amount of detail, shading, and line work ! I’m about to go back to her this week for a Sternum tattoo. I would highly recommend EITHER one of them! Check them out on Instagram @sabrinaelliotte @gwooki you won’t be disappointed !!
Loved my experience. Such a cool place. Morgan does amazing work and is super gentle. I will be back!... A lot, probably. 🤘🏻
I had Justine do powder brows for me, and they turned out beautiful! I enjoyed the entire experience, from the atmosphere of the place to how professional and detailed Justine was. I will definitely be coming back!
Excellent work. George(gwooki) took my basic theme idea and did plenty of research on his own time to create a one of a kind freehand biopiece that just blew me away. Although being tattooed for 10 hrs isnt pleasant, the great conversation we shared sure helped ease the pain. I was also fortunate enough to also meet his wife sabrina which also is extremely talented and a pleasure sharing stories with. To meet complete strangers that make you feel like youve been friends for years is priceless, you almost forget your getting a very sick tattoo at the same time. Definitely top notch group of people.
Gwooi was awesome to work with. The tattoo he did turned out amazing. Its everything you could ask for when getting a tattoo - a clean shop, a good vibe, and an amazing artist. I highly recommend SinnerG tattoos.
Absolutely wonderful experience through and through. Terry was very kind, helpful and professional and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire session. I was very satisfied with the cleanliness and sanitation used during preparation and the work itself. The environment and atmosphere was very relaxed and comfortable, will definitely be returning again at some point.
I came in to have very special memorial pieces done on my wrists. Terry was very patient with my indecisiveness and took the time to explain which placements would work best in terms of holding up over time, healing, etc. The pieces turned out awesome!! Thank you so much!!
Gwooki is the best tattoo artist and one of the most creative people I’ve ever met. His vision and dark take on the designs he creates is insane. I’ll never trust anyone with my work other than him.
Sabrina has done two pieces on my calf and the art is excellent! I highly recommend this shop if you are looking for a quality tattoo with artists that are passionate about their work.
George took the picture I had in my head, improved upon it as only he can do, and I ended up with an even more amazing tattoo than I could have imagined. Clean, professional all while still making it a fun and personal experience. Going anywhere else would be a mistake. Go see these guys they are excellent.
Got a tattoo done by Micha and Im very happy with their work, style, attention to detail. The shop, entertainment, staff seem pretty nice. Will most definitely be back to SinnerG.
Sabrina is the best female tattoo artist in Richmond. Her attention to detail and line work is on point.
Sabrina and George are awesome!!!! Sabrina is my artist and her attention to detail and beautiful light hand are making my work in progress side piece a living work of art!!!
Went here for helix piercing. Salem is great! Highly recommend her for all your piercing needs.
They have awesome work. I know the owner Gwooki cool guy that loves his metal & loves tattooing!!! Check him out if you havent yet. Hes very talented.
Very talented artists here. Happy with the service received--Morgan was great with a first-timer like me.
No fine line work in Richmond like Terry. Incredibly high quality tattoo art. I love showing off her multiple pieces on my body.
I didnt get a tattoo, but the staff and atmosphere are both wonderful! They are welcoming and friendly! Looks like their work is great as well!
5 stars all the way around! Work speaks for itself. Unbelievable custom ink and the most badass work i have. All coming from 2 great people. I would recommend them to anyone
If yall dont book with Mitchell, yall aint serious about getting a tattoo. The GOAT of RVA
Gwooki did multiple tattoos for me and did a great job on every one! Great artist and even greater guy!
Ive done two sessions with fronkie, one to go. atmosphere is awesomely spooky and all staff are cool. go here or their sister shop two pillars
Gwooki did an amazing job on my Tattoo! Definitely coming back if I need any more work done!
I could see lot of tattoo styles here , I would like to get one done , I will update soon on my experience.
Terry has a horrible attitude and her lack of professionalism is unmatched. Book with literally anyone else
Amazing and professional staff and beautiful tattoos!Love the esthetic of the shop as well!
Loving my new piercing. Salem is AMAZING!
Don’t waste your time or money, this shop wouldn’t even let me purchase a piercing without a appointment which takes forever to get.
Gwooki and Sabrina are so awesome to work with.
Its a vibe! Awesome talented artists, and great customer service.
Best tattoo shop Ive ever been to, awesome interior, very clean and great artists
