Best shop in Jacksonville. All the artists are incredibly dedicated to their craft as well as their clients. The shop is very private, clean, and the staff makes sure your experience is comfortable for you. If you’re going to get tattooed for hours at a time, you should go somewhere it’ll suck the least to get stabbed. This is definitely the place.

I was on the waiting list for several months and it was well worth the wait. I had some ideas of what I wanted but didn't didn't think there was any way these random ideas could be tied together into a sleeve. Colby Joyce is my artist and somehow turned my concept into an amazing black and grey sleeve. IThe entire group is professional. The shop is clean and Colby is outstanding at artistry line work and shading. I receive compliments all the time. Absolutely the BEST shop. You can't go wrong with anyone here. Read Less

I cannot say enough amazing things about Soledad Del Real. I found Soledad through searching online when looking for the best fit for my floral sleeve tattoo. I got on Soledad's waiting list and described my idea to her. With very minimal information she was able to come up with the most perfect design EVER. It was exactly what I was wanting and more. She is a true artist. Not only that but she made me feel so comfortable during the whole process and was very knowledgeable and fun. Whenever I am ready for my next one I will definitely be coming back to Florida for Soledad! Also the Black Hive Tattoo was impeccably clean and everyone that I met on the staff was super friendly and nice. I would recommend this place to everyone without any reservations. You will not be disappointed. Read Less

I went to Black Hive in late May. Didn't expect to get in. Got in for luckily. Loved the place and the vibe. Liked how it wasn't like other tattoo places where they didn't care about you and what you wanted. Colbey Joyce was my artist and was super awesome and supportive for my first tattoo. Showed him what I wanted and got what I wanted and more. Truly amazing experience and loved him and the shop for being able to provide that. Read Less

Received a new tattoo from Selina about 4 weeks ago, and I just can't begin to express my sincere appreciation for her dedication, talent and ability to go above & beyond my expectations! We started with a very rough idea and she elevated it to a point I wouldn't have thought of myself. The shop itself is very clean, very professional and the staff are all welcoming from the start. They all have long waits and it's well worth it. They are an extremely talented staff with a deserved reputation for custom work, so be patient, go with the flow, and just KNOW that you're getting your Tat from some of the best to offer! Way to go Selina and THANK YOU so very much!! - Durf Read Less
