Black Rose & Dagger Tattoo 1540 Azalea Garden Road, Norfolk, VA 23502

"This place is Rad! I'm glad I came in and I swear YOU WILL NOT REGEET IT! Great staff, great art, clean AF atmosphere! This is "THE" tattoo facility of Norfolk. Not to mention Military friendly and community involved! Professional as hell and welcoming too!"

"This is where you want to go - I found them by tracking down Pu -who is the absolute BEST at piercings. I first came across him at Fuzion Ink on Granby Street in Norfolk years ago - which unfortunately had to close. Friends who want piercings I will always only send them to him. This was a fantastic find. These guys at BR&D are simply excellent on all accounts, highly skilled, professional and friendly. Randy is very well known and super skilled at tattoing but I ended up going with Matt who is completely awesome and meticulous. Matt did a perfect job of an elaborate tribal-ish back piece that took about 10 hours over several sessions. Spending that much time in a shop getting something extremely personal and important to you done on you... you pick up on how they are. All the stars for these guys. This is the place."

"I took my mom to Black Rose & Dagger Tattoo to get her first tattoo and it was such a wonderful experience! I called to ask if they take walk-ins and they were more than happy to accommodate us. Everyone working there was extremely friendly and made my mom feel at ease. Lon was my mom's tattoo artist and he really made my mom's tattoo idea come to life! The tattoo looked so beautiful! I will definitely be going there for my next tattoo. I HIGHLY recommend them!"

"I came in for my very first tattoo and I loved my experience there. Everyone was so welcoming as well as friendly. Arvin was fantastic he was patient and talked me through the steps and what to expect ,I can’t wait to go back for more tattoos. Our ghost tattoos came out precious!"

"I’ve been coming to this shop ever since they opened. Randy was my first artist and he did a beautiful black & grey realism sleeve. Matt has done many of my tattoos (mostly rubberhose cartoon style) and I’ll continue to book him. Arvin is an amazing artist and his work only gets better and better. All the artists make you feel comfortable and welcomed. This shop is my second home!"
