"***UPDATED*** I’ve received four tattoos so far by this company, one from Whiskey River and three by Norfolk Ink. I love all the artwork so far. One of my tattoos was original artwork designed my me and tuned or modified by the artist (Andre). This tattoo is probably my favorite, Andre’s artwork captured my idea exactly how I imagined it. The second was from a picture my son took with a couple different ideas from the internet thrown in and pieced together by the artist (AJ). My son and I both got that tattoo; AJ did an awesome job. The third was the compilation of a couple different images my wife and I submitted to the artist (Rama) and we both got. The fourth tattoo was gracefully tweaked image my daughter found, completed by the artist Beck. My daughter and I both got this one, and although I like the shading he did on my daughter’s arm a little more, Beck still did a bang up job on both of us. My only issue with an artists was with Rama. As a person, he seemed pretty cool. It was his music choice and the volume at which he played it that was rather uncomfortable for my wife and I. The tattoos he did though look pretty cool; my wife and I like them."

"I recently had my ear pierced at Ocean Mystique's Norfolk and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Britt at the front desk was incredibly attentive, assisting me in selecting the perfect earring by patiently explaining the various sizes and colors available. Her guidance made me feel confident in my choice of choosing green color earring. The piercer, Green, was equally fantastic, offering a teddy bear for comfort when I mentioned I was nervous, which was a thoughtful touch. The procedure itself was surprisingly painless, and I experienced no discomfort in the days following. Their aftercare support is exemplary, providing a kit and reassuring me that I could contact them anytime if needed. I am thoroughly impressed by the friendly and professional atmosphere and I am already planning my next visit. Highly recommend!"

"I've gotten a number of piercings here. The atmosphere is really nice and welcoming. The people are informative and helpful (even on the phone). I'm a very anxious person and I have been very comfortable here."

"Walked in and was greeted immediately by a super nice girl who helped my sister and I pick out jewelry. We only waited like 5 minutes and then we went to the back and got pierced (septum and nose) by this awesome guy (i think his name was Johnny - he had creature from the black lagoon art everywhere and I’m sorry if i got your name wrong!) He was really funny and made the experience fun and enjoyable. It was quick and probably the most painless piercings i’ve ever gotten. I’m SO happy with the placement of my piercings. they look amazing. Would definitely recommend this place!!!"
