Bodhi Joi Studio 1228 19th Street Lane Northwest, Hickory, NC 28601

"I’ve gotten a few tattoos from here. My most recent session done here was for a cover up (from a different tattoo artist / shop) that I felt was challenging! But with each session made to cover it up, it only further proved why I entrusted Ping to begin with. Both Ping and Sincere are masters at what they do and they’re both so incredibly warm and welcoming. I wouldn’t choose to go anywhere else!"

"Ping is the best Tattoo artist I’ve ever met. She is so incredibly talented, and is so patient and willing to help you and collaborate to make your tattoo vision come to life. I drive 4 hours every time I want a tattoo because there is no one else like Ping, can’t wait to come back!"

"Ping is amazing! The studio is so comfortable and welcoming, and so is her whole team. I'm on my second piece from her, we are doing a full sleeve and just finished session #2. I can't wait to see the vision completed! She is so detail oriented, so quality over speed which I believe is so important when getting tattooed. My unfinished piece gets compliments all the time! I drive in from Raleigh, and it's worth every trip. In fact, I tell people who ask for artist recs to come to her if they are willing to make the drive."

"Awesome experience! From the time I opened the door, til the time I left the studio, I had the best experience ever. The studio is beautiful and relaxing. Ping made sure I had her undivided attention the entire time. She listened to what I wanted my tattoo to be and she added her special touches. There's no one quite like her. Her line work is phenomenal and each piece is artwork! Can't wait for my next one."

"This is the only place I ever want to get tattooed at ever again! Friendly staff and an extremely clean environment. Good vibes! The artists are kind and extremely talented. They are very detail-orientated! If you're looking to get an interesting and one of a kind piece then this is the place for you!"
