Although the tatto artists and piercers are experienced, and the place is fairly clean, any time I have been there, the workers have been extremely rude and condescending. Their services are also extremely over priced. If you're fine with snappy workers, then go ahead. But there are definitely other places to go. Read Less

I've been to Alexia for over 10 mine and my friend's piercings over the past 2 years and I only have good things to say. She takes the time to explain to you what she is doing throughout the process and how to thoroughly take care of the piercing. She is incredibly knowledgable and will spend the time to ensure you have the best healing process. I would 100% recommend getting your piercing done here if you want quality jewelry and proper care. Read Less

Awesome. I went in for a nose piercing around 4:30. I waited for about an hour, but the receptionist warned me when I called earlier that day that evenings get pretty busy. Everyone in the office was super friendly and the piercer Alexia is an absolute boss. She made sure the placement was in a place where a ring would look good, made sure I was calm, and walked me through the whole process. It was a great experience and I'll definitely be going back to have them change the jewelry when it's healed enough. Read Less

I've gotten four piercings by Alexia so far. My first two were vch and nipple in June. I was really nervous at first because piercing/tattoo places are, in general, a bit intimidating. However, what a pleasant surprise - Ascension is run by business women and the place is so cute! Very female friendly, like a yoga studio. I felt comfortable as soon as I walked in, and the staff were all very welcoming. I'm a medical student, so you can imagine how particular I am about sterile procedures. Alexia is very competent and professional. She's from a family of surgeons and medical doctors, so she has lot of knowledge in this field. Very intelligent woman, you could tell just by engaging in few conversations with her. As for the piercings, vch and nipple were about 8/10 pain, to be honest, but only lasted for about a half-a-second because Alexia is so swift with her needle. They are healing really well and look absolutely adorable, I love them! Yesterday, I drove all the way from my Charlotte rotation for a daith and navel piercing. I wouldn't go anywhere else! Compared to vch and nipple, the daith and navel were "skip in the park." However, I did take the offer to have my hand held by Jess (one of the receptionists) during the procedure. I am definitely not a touchy-feely person, but she's so cute and lovely that it did help with the pain! I typically wait a few months before writing a review in case of an adverse reaction during the healing process, but I am certain that my piercings are nicely done. Even if I experience some sort of complications, I know Alexia will take care of me! Also, Ascension have beautiful selection of quality jewelries. I can't wait until September because that's when I can upgrade my vch and nipple jewelry! Read Less

Ho.ly. ****. Pardon my asterisk, but this place is bomb.It's as if I dreamed up the best possible experience and made it a full-blown reality on Franklin Street. "Why was it 'bomb', Rachel?"Well, let me tell you, Lynda.It was bomb because I felt safe, seen, and among people I'd want to be around on the regs. It had all the things I associate with tattoo/piercing parlors: metal jams, jewelry, and folks working there who sport the goods. BUT! The jewelry was gooorgeous, the wall colors soft and warm, the people who worked there were badass, warm, centered humans. Seriously, I couldn't recommend this place more highly. I'm low-key thinking about getting another piercing just to go back. Or... maybe just another piece of jewelry. Wishing these folks a long, lovely career here. They Rock! Read Less

Knowledgeable, very clean, and friendly. I'll definitely go back for more piercings. Edit: I've now gotten three piercings from Alexia (septum and both ear lobes) and they've all healed fantastically. She did such a good job, and the actual piercing procedure was quick and as painless as possible. I highly recommend this place! Read Less

Alexia is the very best!!!! I got my nose pierced there in February, and had issues with one type of post. It fell out a few times...finally went in again, and she changed the type out! I have been pierced without problems since. She was courteous, and gracious, and wanted me to be happy. I was, even without the fix. Highly recommend for piercing. I plan on getting another piercing and tattoo within the week!!! LOVE THESE LADIES!!! Read Less

I got my cartilage pierced here by Alexia back in May. She did a great job. It looks good, it was a reasonable price and she walked me through every step of the process of what she was doing and how I should care for it afterwards. I couldn't recommend her services more highly. Read Less

Alexia refuses to repierce me after my jewelry fell out since she did not tighten ball enough. Since I am out of town, I saw another piercer who said I should wait to get Re-Pierced. I then called Alexia and she now refuses to even look at it when I return to Chapel Hill, and says I should only work with piercer in LA. She even said that since I can't get repierced before I leave, I should fly back out to LA if I want to be re pierced. That's only about $500! The person who answered phone when I called was also pretty rude. I do not recommend place to anyone! Read Less

Alexia is awesome!!! She is the sweetest person ever she has done two cartilage helix piercings for me so far all were simple and fast and shes amazing. She takes the time to make sure its where you want it and that youre comfortable. I definitely recommend going to her for your piercing needs. Read Less

Kelly has done two tattoos on me and she is GREAT! Shows you exactly how she’s set up and let’s you see/verify the design multiple times and readjust the stencil if you need. Also uses all disposable equipment so you know it’s clean and she shows you her opening new ones and everything. She has a super gentle touch compared to any other tattoo artist I’ve experienced (the only thing that hurt was stippling but I also was getting inked on my sternum sooo) and she’s hilarious and keeps you distracted the whole time she’s tattooing by telling you stories. She takes her time and makes sure the lines are super clean and does touch ups too! Plus I’ve called the shop twice the day of and been able to get inked that same day so they really work with your schedule. The other women who work there are also so so so nice and make you feel super comfy- yesterday one of them even held a girl’s hand when she got pierced and it was so sweet! Totally love Ascension and will be back many more times! Oh also they have lollipops which I’ve never had to resort to but it’s so nice of them! Read Less

I have now received 3 piercings from Alexia at Ascension Tattoo. She does an incredible job--from thoroughly cleaning the entire workspace and piercing site to meticulously measuring and marking the spot so that the piercing is perfect. She did a great job of explaining everything to know about each piercing and has a very calming, reassuring presence. I am so happy with the ear piercings and navel piercing she did for me. All of them healed quickly after following her simple instructions, and still look great years later. Overall, the whole environment was extremely clean and relaxing and the staff are all incredibly friendly and accommodating. They have a huge selection of jewelry that's all very reasonably priced and super cute. I cannot recommend this place enough if you're looking to get a piercing or tattoo. Read Less

I got my cartilage pierced in my ear and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Alexia was absolutely amazing. She was so great to talk to and is such a comforting presence that I didn't even realize the piercing was happening until it was over (and I was pretty nervous). Alexia took the time to really make sure she knew what I wanted rather than just getting me in and out. She was also very clear in explaining how to take care of my piercing after I left, and made sure that I knew I could come back for anything (if I had concerns, to get help when I wanted to change the jewelry for the first time, just to say hi - whatever!). I was also given a really great aftercare kit free with my piercing. The shop is very clean and there are a lot of jewelry options to choose from for all kinds of piercings. I also spoke to a really nice person at the front desk whose name I unfortunately can't remember, but she was lovely as well. Overall it was a great experience from start to finish. I really can't recommend this place enough. I'll definitely be back! Thanks, Alexia! Read Less

Alexia is such an angel!! She has pierced me or reopened a piercing for me three times and is so talented. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do a piercing. She is so sweet, funny, and made me feel at ease even when I was going through a very painful experience. Super clean environment and prices are totally reasonable for everything included. Her apprentice is really cool as well! Recommend Ascension 10/10 Read Less

Alexia is the nicest and most attentive person I've ever met in the field. I so appreciate the strong and friendly femme vibe of Ascension. I came in for a Jewelry change and she was professional, helpful, saw me quickly, and requested that I follow up with how things were going. Prices are good, reception is awesome, and the overall aesthetic of the place is wonderful. Nothing but good things to say. Read Less

Everyone is super friendly and super professional! Ascension is a very clean, open, and comfortable environment. I've gotten a tattoo here, and I've gotten piercings here. Super nice people, and great at their jobs! Read Less

So nice and so professional. Alexia is very knowledgeable and helpful; a few hours after I got my ear piercing, someone hit my ear and when I came back in to get it checked out, she was so nice and even though she had to remove it, she’s letting me go back and get it done again. They’re very encouraging of calling or stopping by if I have any concerns or questions. And the woman who was working at the front desk when I came in was so nice and accommodating as well! It was my first piercing and they really helped me feel comfortable by acknowledging all my concerns and answering my questions. Read Less

Alexia is extremely rude and makes rude comments. I came in because I was having issues with a piercing she did for me. She made extremely rude comments the entire time and essentially called me stupid. Then when she finally gave me a chance to actually talk she decided to play nice. The very last time, I mean last time I will ever go there again to waste my time, she was extremely rude again. She will ignore you and then when she acknowledges you it's just to be rude. I can not believe somebody can be so unprofessional. I was sitting there beside my fiancé like "see what I mean?" after every rude comment she made. She's honestly fake. The first time I ever came she was very nice. Then she decides to show her true colors. Nice place. But this rude lady makes it not worth it at all. Worst customer service EVER. Take your money somewhere else.Update: Alexia not only gives bad customer service, she gives false information on piercings. Using a hoop to pierce someone's nostril the first time is unacceptable, you're always supposed to start off with a stud and even after you start having issues because this ridiculous woman can't do her job right she will be upright rude. Same as with a belly piercing you're not supposed to start off with jewelry that has gems on it. If I could rate 0 stars I would. But unfortunately that's not an option. Prices are ridiculously overpriced, this whole place is just trying to hustle people out of their money. Just because they know they can hustle college students. Why have outrageous prices when your customer service is trash? Go somewhere worth your money, try twisted 6 in durham instead. Nice people, professional, reasonable prices and great customer services. Avoid this dump at all costs, not worth the time, energy or effort. Read Less

Meghan was terrific! She helped me feel at ease, listened carefully, and my tattoo turned out awesome. The environment felt safe and clean. I wouldn't hesitate to send a friend there. I love that this place is woman-owned and run. Highly recommend! Read Less

I got two cartilage piercings done here. I absolutely love the piercings!! I was really impressed by how sanitary everything was too. The very nice lady who pierced me made sure I was going to like where the piercing was placed. All of the people there made me feel very welcomed and invited in.  I would definitely recommend this place to a friend. Read Less

Just had my first ear piercing with Alexia. She is super nice and gave me detailed advices on all I need to know before and aftercare. I can't even feel anything on my ear after 10 mins. Amazing experience! Read Less

Meghan was so kind throughout the entire process. This was my first tattoo and she explained everything to me in a calm manner. I was so impressed with her interpretation of the image I brought for inspiration. The tattoo turned out even better than I'd envisioned! The upstairs studio space is very quiet, with comfortable seating and a clean, organized set-up. I had already looked at Meghan's portfolio, so I knew I liked her work, but coming into such a nice environment helped me to feel more relaxed. I'm already planning my next tattoo and will definitely be going back to Ascension. Read Less

Alexia is my favorite pierced in this area, hands down. VERY knowledgeable, will spend a lot of time making sure your placement and jewelry is perfect and explain how everything is going to work for you. She is fair and understanding and has not only extensive experience but also awesome jewelry. Today I took a friend to get two piercings and she was so grateful I had taken her! I can't wait to get my next piercing from Alexia. Read Less

The artist was super friendly and helpful, the place was clean, and setting up an appointment couldn't have been any easier! They were welcoming to both me and my service dog, no questions asked. I am very excited to get my tattoo here, and will update this review afterwards. Read Less

I went in two days ago to get a daith piercing. I had no idea what a treat I was in for. Alexia is quite possibly one of my favorite new people ever. She is extremely knowledgable and made me feel comfortable through the entire process, letting me know what she was doing when, and she didn't make me feel rushed at all, even though I knew someone was waiting in the lobby for her. Read Less

Earlier this year, Meghan provided me with my first, and absolutely perfect, tattoo. I could not be happier! It’s small (and really subtle) so the session was fairly short. But I had just enough time to enjoy the studio space and really take in all the art on her walls, which is fun for me to imagine as walking all around our community on people’s bodies. Meghan is a gentle soul fulfilling dreams in such a unique manner. I highly recommend a session with her at AscensionTattoo! Read Less

Meghan did bonding tattoos for my mom and I, we each got a small cresent moon with two small stars on our upper chest. It was my mom's first time. Meghan was very friendly, professional, sanitary and did an excellent job. The tattoos are exactly what we asked for and look great ! Also the atmosphere is very inviting, calming and clean. Thank you Meghan! Looking forward to bringing my husband in for a consult and to my next tattoo ! Read Less

Got my first tattoo from Meghan a couple of weeks ago. She did an amazing job! The tattoo healed up great and it looks awesome! I was nervous going in, but Meghan made me feel comfortable and at ease -- highly recommend!! Read Less

My best friend and I went and got our noses pierced. Alexia is absolutely amazing. She is very professional and so sanitary! Her placement for us both was on point. She made us very comfortable talking us through everything. She was very knowledgable about cleaning the piercing and the healing process. I would go back to her any day. If you need a piercing she is your girl. Read Less

FANTASTIC! I was a first time tattoo-getter (is there a better word for that?) and Meghan was sooo great. She was very prompt, patient, and responsive to my dumb newbie questions and worked to get me scheduled at a time that was great for me. And the art! She gave me some great guidance on how to do what I wanted even better than I thought. During the process she worked diligently and made me extremely comfortable. I'm really happy not only with the final product, but with the experience as a whole. This was my first tattoo, but I don't think it will be my last thanks to Meghan. You're the best! Read Less

Alexia is an incredible piercer and a homie and a half. I've had multiple piercings here and have had no problems and I'm super happy with them! I also have gone in for advice and she's always willing to help Read Less

You won't be disappointed. A few years ago I had Alexia taper back in an old septum piercing after all the shops in the area told me it couldn't be done. I was so happy when she just popped it right on in. Now I recently had my double nostrils pierced and it went smoothly didn't even hurt. Her energy and patience is wonderful and she is always a delight to work with. I've sent several people to her and every single one of them has had a positive experience. If you're looking for an awesome professional go here before even considering another place. Read Less

I got my nostril pierced here earlier today. Alexia was very helpful and calming; I did not feel rushed at all, and she let me know exactly what she was about to do. Also very helpful with aftercare and follow-up instructions. I plan on coming back for another piercing and tattoo soon. You definitely get what you pay for in terms of customer service. If you are picking a place to get your first piercing or tattoo, this is the place to go! Read Less

I love my new ear piercing. To make a long story short, my mom pierced my ears when I was nine with a potato, a bag of ice and a couple sewing needles. The piercings were pretty uneven with one side lower than the other and it always looked a little off so I decided to get the lower side repierced higher up. Thanks Alexia for taking the time to get it right! It looks fantastic! Read Less

I went in nervous about getting my nipples pierced but alexia completely put me at ease! She was very professional and easy to talk to. I've been to a couple places in the chapel hill area for piercings and am very happy with my experience here. Definitely recommend! Read Less

Meghan has done 2 tattoos for me. She designed both of them and they are awesome. She's a great artist. The shop is friendly and comfortable. My next tattoo is scheduled. Meghan does consults, but she's super busy, so if you want some fresh ink, you need to get on her schedule! Read Less

I've gotten 3 out of 4 of my tattoos here and I highly recommend Meghan! She is very professional and artistic and makes sure you are as comfortable as possible. I will continue to come back to her for more tattoos in the future! Read Less

Such a great place for tattoos and piercings. The energy from the artists is strong and creative, but not pushy or over-amped. Alexia is a thoughtful and skilled piercer. Meghan is creative and responsive. Read Less

I've been getting my tattoos from Meghan since 2012. She's a fantastic person and an amazing artist! Meghan's attention to detail is the best...I have about 25 hours done just from her! The shop is quaint, pretty and friendly. Read Less

Went in very nervously wanting both nipples pierced, but walked out thinking I just had the most wonderful and fun experience in a tattoo or piercing shop ever! Alexia is so patient and clearly cares first and foremost about educating you about the specific piercing you are going to get, and how to care for it so it heals well and you can enjoy your piercing for years to come! She stresses how important it is to her that you call or walk in anytime with questions during the healing process. Couldn't have been happier and would recommend her to anyone! aside from Alexia's loveliness, the shop is adorable and clean, and the prices are very reasonable. Read Less

I called in to get some pricing information about a nose piercing. Upon answering the phone and asking my question, the representative responded saying "You just called and hung up on me". Very rude considering you are providing a service to the public. I briefly explained to her that I did not call prior to this and continued to ask my question among a few others to get clarity on the types of metal used as I have allergies. I think at this point she realized that I was sincerely looking into their services. I am extremely disappointed. Lost my business before I even visited the place. Read Less

I had a double helix piercing done elsewhere and stopped by the shop to get some new jewelry put in.  Alexia was helpful, quick, and the cost of the jewelry was shockingly cheap ($20 for two titanium hoops). Alexia has the sort of personality that some might call prickly, and I can see why that set some yelp reviewers off. But don't let that stop you from going - she is clearly very experienced, keeps up with her piercing education, and knows what she is doing. She also had a good supply of jewelry on hand, when many tattoo/piercing shops do not. I would definitely go back for more work. Read Less

The staff at Ascenion Tattoo is extremely knowledgeable, professional and friendly, the store clean and welcoming, prices fair.I am especially impressed by their piercer, Alexia Phillips, who takes time and care to educate her clients on the piercing process and provides detailed information on the aftercare. I had several piercings done by her, some of which are in... more delicate areas and tend to be problematic in the healing process. Not so here! I had not a single problem, my piercings look beautiful, and she is always available for a check-up or consultation.If you are looking for someone with a calm and soothing demeanor, highly trained skills, long time experience and a steady hand, I can't think of anyone better to entrust your body modification desires to!!

WORST customer service I have ever experienced in my life. I came in with my sister and parents to accompany my sister (a minor) in getting two cartilage piercings at $50 a pop. Not only did Alexia completely ignore my mother and I (she literally wouldn't even look at us when we spoke to her) but she made several rude and obnoxious comments to my sister and father. Even though my sister is under the age of 18, she did not allow either of my parents to enter the piercing room, nor ask any questions or make any comments about the procedure. Any time someone spoke to her she would respond very rudely. She was so outright mean and arrogant that I was completely shocked. We honestly felt like we were being pranked. When my sister asked Alexia questions about how to care for her piercing, she made sarcastic comments and essentially called her stupid. We were all completely in shock at how rude this woman was being to all of us, and for no particular reason. I will never, ever be going back to this shop or recommend it to anyone. Alexia needs to learn some people skills. Read Less

Definitely Recommend!!! I got my septum pierced by Alexia at Ascension Tattoo and she was extremely professional and friendly. She walked me through the entire process including explaining the different types of tools that she would use, the order of the procedure and what I could expect along the way. She also gave me her own personal tips for how to care for and manage the piercing which I found very helpful. I want to be able to flip it up into my nose while I'm at work and she took the time to show me how to do this and let me practice it on my own. In addition to that, the shop was really clean and she appeared very knowledgable about piercing care and best practices, which I appreciated. It was a really quick process and Alexia assured me that the pain would be substantially less than I was expecting - and she was right. I've had my ears pierced in multiple places, my tongue, my belly button and my left nostril and this was the least painful piercing that I've ever gotten. I would definitely recommend Alexia and Ascension Tattoo for piercings and feel confident that the great customer service played a great role in making it such painless experience. Read Less

Absolutely love Alexia, she's done my piercings for the past 7 years, from my first to my 13th. She makes the process so smooth, talks to you to keep you from being nervous, answers all questions & is very sanitary. What I love most is no matter how long ago I got a piercing from her if I come up with anthe questions she's readily available by phone or a visit as well! Read Less

Alexia is super awesome. I had my first piercing done by her. She was very professional and had answers to everything, I didn't have to ask her but one question. I'm convinced the process went by so calm and quickly because of her experience. She was also available through text whenever I have/had more questions. I recommend her for any piercing! Read Less

I got two nipple piercings done today by Alexia at Ascesion Tattoo and I was very pleased with the results. The staff are relaxed and knowledgable, and I felt confident getting pierced because I felt that I had enough time to ask questions, think about it and not feel any rush at all to do the piercings. While I was there, the staff wanted to see a tattoo out of genuine interest and had some ideas about it. The shop is very clean and uses the highest standards in the industry.The nipple piercings are DEAD ON. It was a quick process and they let me lie down until I felt like I could walk, despite another customer waiting in the front. Professional all around! Read Less

Friendly people in a relaxed atmosphere. James has over two decades tattooing in Memphis, Mobile, Pensacola, and Gainsville before opening his shop in Chapel Hill. He and Meghan are very talented artists; and the piercer, Alexia, are very professional. Read Less

Both James and Meghan have done wonderful work on me and I wouldn't go to another artist. The shop is clean and not intimidating and the staff is friendly and open. I've also had piercings done by their piercer, Alexia, and even took my teenage daughter to her because I was so impressed by the way she works. Great shop all the way around. Read Less

I have had a lot of work done by both James and Meghan at Ascension Tattoo. They do fabulous work. Live the black and gray James did for a tribute ribbon and roses. Now he is working on a half-sleeve. Can't wait to sit in the chair again!! You guys ROCK!!!! Read Less

I have known James for several years now. I have always been impressed by his kindness and his ability to make a customer feel comfortable. James is an artist. He has a unique ability to take an initial idea and create a beautiful tattoo. Read Less

James (24 years tattooing) is very kind, can do portraits, gentle with the gun as well as Meghan, whom I was her Guinea pig at THT is extremely talented (Even did her own foot! Looks awesome!). I can not express enough about James, Meghan, and Alexia (With 15 years experience) that will treat each of you equally. I wouldn't think twice of ever going anywhere else where I see prejudice. Check for yourself! You'll be pleased..... Read Less

Yup, I'm definitely a fan.I came to Ascesion Tattoo (they've moved from Graham Street) for my first ribcage tattoo, which was my second. (Which, by the way, OUCH. But, that goes without saying.)The shop was clean, easy to find and the folks in there were super nice. Meghan did my tattoo and I couldn't have asked for better service. She really listened to what I wanted and was really patient to make sure it came out right (we had to re size it a couple of times). I didn't feel rushed or pressured into anything I didn't need, or that I was overcharged. I was also grateful that nobody judged me for the faces I was making as she doing the shading :) Like any shop, I recommend giving them the courtesy of calling ahead to check on their availability. I paid $70 for a decently sized alto clef tattoo that is absolutely perfect and the aftercare instructions were top notch. I'd definitely come here again! Read Less

Ascension Tattoo is by far the best shop I have visited. The atmosphere is so relaxed and comfortable that it will your nerves right from the start. Both artists are very talented and professional, assuring you that all of the equipment is in fact sterile and ready for use on YOU. It is such a pleasure to go into somewhere and every single person working there is extremely friendly and happy to see you each time you visit. This is without a doubt the place that you should visit if you are in the area for ALL of your tattoo and piercing needs... you will not regret your decision. Read Less

I would like to impress upon you that Ascension Tattoo is not your standard cookie cutter "tattoo shop" of the times. It is a tattoo parlor. The modest sized shop harkens visually to a posh sultan's throne room rather than a dark dank pseudo biker dive. This translates the shop to be visually pleasing as well as an artistic wonderland of sculptures, paintings, and fascinating visual imagery. The music is as eclectic as the shop itself and helps add to the tranquil, dreamy environment. Immaculately clean and sterile with state of the art equipment blended seamlessly with old school charm and elegance. Ascension Tattoo is more than just a shop though, they are family. They treat each other, and every one who walks thru their door with respect , patience and kindness. James and Meghan are two of the most incredibly gifted artists I have personally ever known. They work one on one with every single customer to ensure that person leaves feeling happy, content, and with the best imagery available anywhere. It is refreshing to see this. All are treated with an easy-going respect and a light-hearted customer-service oriented attitude. Sometimes, you can even get a post- tattoo hug.I receive so many compliments and inquiry's from strangers on the street over the work Ascension has put on my body, that I am almost considering carrying their business cards with me to just pass out whenever I am asked "Where did you get that done?"Convenient location, competitive prices, and with tattooist that are second to none, Ascension Tattoo provides all you will ever need for your tattoo or piercing needs.
