Shenandoah Rose Tattoo and Piercing 2340 Commonwealth Drive, Charlottesville, VA 22901

"I have been seeing Germ for my tattoo needs for more than a decade because he is the absolute best. He has a unique artistic vision that he is able to channel to meet his client’s desires and an eye for how to make the artwork the most aesthetically pleasing on the body. Out of the artists I’ve been to, Germ also has the lightest hand. He does a phenomenal job with final finishing touches to make the piece look the most complete and it’s best. I also love this location as it is private and Germ has done well at making it a welcoming, professional, clean shop. I strongly recommend working with Germ on your next custom piece or your first banger."

"I went to get my tattoo today. It was my first ever tattoo and Germ was very friendly, nice, clean, and professional. He also has a positive attitude and took his time to do a wonderful job. He explained to me how it worked and took the time to let me look at what I liked and picked out the best for me. I highly recommend him and will be going back to him again on the near future. He took his time to do a nice job on the tattoo."

"Germ is THE best! We live in Richmond and drove to Charlottesville just to visit Shenandoah Rose and get some flash from Germ. The shop was a little busy(as all good shops are) but we had a blast hanging out waiting with fellow patrons and Germ. Wonderful conversations and new friends made! Germ made every effort to make us comfortable and happy - can’t thank enough for a fun afternoon and some sick new ink!"

"Germ is the absolute best! I came in for a Friday the 13th tattoo and it was one of the best experiences I've had in a tattoo shop. He was kind, cordial and made me feel super at ease. Plus everything was super quick — from the paperwork, to the setup, to the actual tattoo. He seems to have really streamlined the process and I wasn't waiting around to get my ink done. Germ has done several tattoos on me, so I can't say anything but great things about him and his work. I could barely even feel the needle. 10/10 recommend. Plus, look how cute this lil tat is!"
