Red 5 Tattoo 829 Lynnhaven Parkway, Virginia Beach, VA 23452

"Recently I had 3 sessions with Alley and I have never been so pleased with the work. She is a master of listening to your desires and translating them into reality. I asked her to accomplish some complex things and she did it with pleasure. Alley, thank you! You are an exceptional artist! The front desk staff at Red 5 is amazing and a pleasure to interact with as well!"

"Wonderful shop. I’ve had Chris do two tattoos for me and I’ve never been disappointed. I have one session left on my current one he’s working on. But just as a heads up, they don’t let people back with you, so if that’s something you want, you’ll have to go somewhere else. Chris is masterful at his craft otherwise I’d probably go somewhere that I could bring someone with me."

"My husband and I have been going to Red Five for years now. The artists are absolutely amazing! We have had the privilege of working with Chris Garcia, Chris Stoll and Anna Ramirez. All are personable and talented beyond belief. Definitely the best in the area for gorgeous tattoos."

"Absolutely loved this shop! Very friendly staff and artist and an extremely nice front lobby. I got my tattoo done by Marshall, and it’s even better than I had in mind! He was super nice and friendly. I had a great and fun time! I only have good things to say about this shop and would recommend it to anyone"

"This place is just the best! From the moment I walked in they made me feel comfortable in the journey to cover up some past mistakes lol. The front desk asked what kind of work I wanted done and then suggested a couple artists to look at their portfolio's and I found Rob Beresford. He was booked up almost a year but I went ahead and booked for a sleeve which is several sessions. I have seen a lot of people come in and think they would get a sleeve the same day or 2 sessions and that is not how it works. It takes time! Fast forward to my actual appointments nothing but great work, good conversation, funny movies, and amazing times! 2 years later I have 2 full sleeves and looking for spots to get more LOL. Rob was the best to work with and I will not go anywhere else ever again! Just from spending so much time in the shop here are some pro tips.... 1. Look at all the artists work and pick a couple you really like. 2. Schedule a consultation and talk to the artist. 3. Do not be afraid to ask questions or make suggestions. 4. Follow all the guidelines your artist makes such as after care and healing. I have seen so many people not follow these and cause damage to the work that was done. 5. Understand it is a process if getting a sleeve and takes time! Hope this helps someone on their journey! @beresfordtattoos"
