"O" is the BEAT tattoo artis I've seen by far. He takes is time to make sure the tatoo is EXACTLY as you like. I have 7 tattoos and this is the absolute best one I've had yet. I won't go to anyone else. His pricing is fair and his studio is chill and comfortable. I would recommend anyone to see him for his services!!! Read Less

Went in for my 4th tattoo (all small and simple) and came away super happy. Obray is a really chill guy, very nice, very professional. Everything seemed clean and sterilized. He was super quick and that tattoo looks amazing and healed well. I plan on having him to a decent sized coverup in a few months and after several other artists looking at me like I was stupid and crazy for what I wanted, Obray was totally open to it and said he could definitely design something that would fit over my old tattoo and be exactly what I wanted. Awesome place - definitely recommend! Read Less

A very friendly shop. The artist is professional and talented. The artwork I got is top notch. It healed perfectly. Going back soon! I went back 3 times since I posted my review. "O" is the most friendly tattoo artist I have met in 30 years of getting Ink. "O" can work the gun but he is also a great artist. His shop has a peaceful vibe. The first day, I felt like family. "O" has given me the best work I ever had in 30 years. I am already getting ready for more artwork to be done by "O". Read Less

I went here today to get my first piercing. I was really nervous but the owner was very patient and understanding with me. I will come back for sure for my first tattoo. I have been to several shops in the Charlotte area and this is by far the best. The owner is such a nice guy and the studio is very clean and professional. Read Less

My daughter and I wanted small matching tattoos. O couldn't have been nicer and took good care of us. He was very professional, personable, and funny. We are so happy with our matching hearts. Thank you! We highly recommend Dermal Designz! Read Less

I would give this shop less than one star if it were an option. I went into the shop to get a septum piercing and everything seemed fine originally, but I was sadly mistaken. I told the the gentleman who was working when I came in that I would like to have my septum pierced with the intention of being able to flip it up while at work as we have to cover our piercings at my job. I later found out (from an outside source) that a septum piercing has to remain in it's original position until it is fully healed, (which takes up to 10 weeks). If I had known this I never would of had the piercing done as I cannot wear it to work. Continuing-- After filling out my paperwork I waited as "Obray C." prepared his station. Obray was wearing gloves, took out a fresh needle, etc. -- these are all signs I look for as I've had seven professional body piercings previously and I don't would like quality care while paying for a body modification. After being pierced I'm handed a dirty hand mirror and while I have q-tips still in my nose everything seems normal, though it's hard to be certain as I can hardly see the piercing itself. I am then charged $60 and sent home with no physical aftercare instructions, not a huge deal considering I've had piercings before and already know how to clean them, but still I found this unprofessional to say the least. Later that evening upon going to clean my piercing I noticed the piercing is completely crooked and not at all how it should look (I have photos -- feel free to contact me if you're interested). The next day I asked my boyfriend to go the the shop and inquire how much a septum piercing costs, he was told they only cost $40 -- $20 less what I was charged for my piercing. Upon going into the shop myself I spoke to Joey and showed him the piercing. Joey immediately agreed that the piercing was poorly done and also the jewelry that Obray gave me was the wrong size for it to heal correctly. After apologizing Joey informed me that the piercing must be removed and agreed to take it out for me. Joey then gave me instructions on how to clean my wound until it is fully healed. Joey also offered to re-pierce me for free after it was healed. I left contact information with Joey and he assured me the store owner would be contacting me to see what we can do about my poor treatment.By the end of the week the shop owner still had not contacted me and I had called the store five times with no answer so I went back to the shop once again. The gentleman who pierced me was standing outside the shop and I asked if I could speak to the shop owner and he informed me that he IS the shop owner. That's right, the person who incorrectly pierced me is also the shop owner. I asked Obray why he had not contacted me, as it had been almost a week since I had left my contact information and he told me their store phone was down yet he had his cell phone in his hand during this conversation. Obray told me I should have called his cell phone number (he never gave me his card so I'm unsure as to how I would have got his phone number). I asked Obray if I could get a refund considering the situation and he told me no because because I signed a contract. I told Obray I understood but I was also disappointed seeing as he was the store owner and he made not attempt of fixing his mistake. Obray offered a maximum refund of $20 because "he used his materials to do the piercing". I left the shop disappointed and I plan on returning to see if Obray is willing come to a more suitable agreement.**** Note: Joey provided impressive customer service and I am pleased with everything he was willing to do for me. There are no complaints to his actions as an individual. This harsh review is strictly regarding the store owner. Read Less
