Blaire has always been incredibly professional while piercing and tattooing me. She is gentle and forthcoming with all pertinent information regarding aftercare, etc. I went in tonight for a piercing and to talk to her about an addition to a tattoo and she was very receptive to my ideas, which is always appreciated!

WORTH THE WAIT. INCREDIBLE. Last night my mom and I got matching tattoos from Blair. I booked a couple months ago and was surprised at the wait time but now I understand. She is good at what she does and worth the wait. Not only am I 100% happy with my new tattoo but I loved the experience. Blair is so friendly, funny, and professional. The shop is gorgeous and clean. I am most definitely going back for any work I need done, I found my tattoo artist! Read Less

I would give more stars if I could!! � a TRUE artist! I have the most beautiful koala on my arm with amazing color � I recommend Blaire and will forever recommend her. She is very sweet and easy to get along with as well so sitting in a chair with her for 4 hours flew right by. She also did a piece that my daughter Drew and did it perfectly. Love love love! I can't stop staring at my arm. Read Less

Blair did an amazing job with my ink. She took the time to talk me through it and placed it in just the right place. I would highly recommend her as an artist. And the shop was very clean and sanitary. I would definitely go there again. Read Less

I am in love with my tattoo! I cannot say enough good things about my experience at Femme Fatale. They made us feel welcomed and comfortable. Blair is a beautiful artist and she did a fantastic job of putting together all my ideas and creating a one-of-kind piece of art. I cannot wait to go back to finish and add more to it. Thank you Blair! Read Less

Blair is amazing!!! I was very nervous to get my nose pierced but she made the process go smoothly and made me feel extremely comfortable the whole time (which helped a lot with the nerves.) My jewelry accidentally got snagged and fell out around ~30 minutes before her closing time, but as soon as I called she accommodated me and put the jewelry back in even though she was mid-session with another customer. Definitely will come back if I get another piercing or tattoo!!! Read Less

Absolutely loved the whole experience at Femme Fatale. I came to see Blair for my 1st tattoo on a colleague's recommendation. She was so patient with me, and worked with me on my design to make sure I got a tattoo that would look good now and for many years to come. She was incredibly patient with me, always being accommodating and never pressuring me into making changes I wasn't comfortable with. I really appreciated Blair's professionalism, kindness, and dedication to her art. I cannot recommend her highly enough, and will definitely be returning for my next tattoo. Read Less

I love my tattoo so much. I showed Blair a few Pinterest photos and walked out w such a beautiful tattoo and exactly what I wanted. It's so pretty I can't stop looking at it. She and her husband are very nice and have a very nice place there. She super easy to talk to and very knowledgeable with great input about placement and size etc. Read Less

I received my newest tattoo (#5) on 2.9.17, and though this was my first time at Femme Fatale, it won't be my last. It was a pleasure to be tattooed by Blair. Her color work on my book & quill tattoo is absolutely beautiful and far exceeded my hopes and expectations. She explained everything she was doing, was engaging in conversation, and created beautiful art at a fair price. Blair and Akira welcome you into the shop and make you feel like you're among friends. Yes, there is a multiple month wait for an appointment in her chair, but the wait is worth it. I have found my Raleigh tattoo artist and will definitely be back. Read Less

An excellent tattoo and piercing place in Raleigh ..had a great first tattoo experience with  Blair she was so comforting since it was my first tattoo and it was on my ribs which i heard from alot of people its more painful than other areas but the pain wasn't that bad at all my laser hair removal was much much worse. Blair knew exactly what I wanted, the experience went very smooth and the final tattoo was better than my expectations..I also pierced my nose with Blair it was very simple and out of  my ears piercings and naval piecing it was the easiest in the procedure and the healing time I highly recommend famme fatale tattoos and piercings Read Less

Blair is the best tattoo artist I've ever had! She did such a great job and her personality was one I could click with, which is important in this industry because awkwardness in the chair isn't good and that's what I've always experienced with other artists. Her line work is clean, precise, and done very well. You may have to wait for an appointment but it's worth it! I can't wait to see my second session in March! Read Less

I haven't gotten a tattoo here, but I get all my piercings here. I love Blair, she's so friendly and fun. She makes me feel very comfortable and explains what she's doing at every step. Prices are great, especially compared to other places. Read Less

Blair is great.  I had a 20+ year old tattoo retouched by her.  She made it look better than it ever did.  Now I'm working on a half sleeve with her and she's making it really look awesome.  She's also done all my wife's tattoos and they were awesome. Read Less

Blair is seriously a fantastic artist all around. I live in Canada right now, but have yet to meet an artist who I trust like her, so I literally just wait until my breaks when I go home to NC to get any new tattoos or piercings that I want. I've gotten three tattoos (her line precision and detailing are AMAZING) and my conch done with her so far and she is always so calm, professional, and completely open about what she's doing and why she's doing it. I can't say enough about her and don't know what I'm gonna do with myself when I'm not routinely going home to NC in a few years. Read Less

I got an AWESOME tat from Blair - had a great time getting it. She's super friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all of my annoying questions beforehand and walked me step by step through some important decisions I made regarding the tattoo. Very respectful, and her husband is great too! It's so nice to have such a great female tattoo artist in Raleigh - hands down the best tattoo experience I've had in the area. 100% recommend! Read Less

Great experience! Blair great artist & person! A few customers came in before she started on my tattoo. One who had never gotten a tattoo before and the other needed help with her nose ring, Blair did not once make them feel unwelcome or belittled, as with another shop I know of. Read Less

Blair is so awesome! About two weeks ago I went to her to get my nipples pierced. She was competitively priced at $30 for both, where other places wanted $60/nipple! Her studio is an open layout, but she closed off a big section for privacy. I waited for a few minutes, and it's just a really relaxed environment. She talked me through the whole process, made sure I was comfortable and made me aware of everything she was doing. The space was clean and all her utensils were sanitary. She used clamps, and it was over in a flash. It was nowhere near as painful as I was expecting, and Blair made it a totally positive experience. I am really happy with the way they have turned out, and I have not had any infection. I would definitely recommend going to Blair! Read Less

I went to go take part of their 2 for $30 piercings. I should of known to never get anything done for that price. The piercings that Blair did were crooked (i got my nipples done by the way). After a week I noticed they were still crooked and i was in a lot of pain. She used clamps on them.... BIG MISTAKE! I personally messaged her asking her about the piercings being crooked. She told me that they are suppose to be to prevent snagging. UMMMMM REALLY?! When i went to actually get real professional opinions they said they were done completely wrong and the jewelry she used was bad. They took them out and said to come back in a month which i did (not to Femme Fatale). The next day they were fine and not sore. Obviously something wasn't done right the first time. Thank you Blair for my worse piercing story EVER! Read Less

This is well overdue, but I took my wife to have a small tattoo drawn on her foot, in honor of Mocha, our 14 year old chocolate lab who recently passed. This is only my wife's second experience with getting ink, (mind you both are only the first initial of two pets we have lost) & she was very nervous. When we went & got her first, she felt the tattoo artist were making light of the fact she was so nervous about getting such a small tattoo. Not @ Femme Fatale Tattoo!! Blair made Christy feel so comfortable. Blair also expressed her appreciation & sympathy regarding the situation. That meant the world to Christy and I both & we will visit each time there's reason for more ink. Thank you Blair!! Hope to see you soon. PS, I still would like for you to cover the cross on my shoulder blade sometime. I'll have to get you to give me some ideas of what can be done. Thanks againNick & Christy Read Less

Had a awesome experience with Blair for my first tattoo! The place was clean and inviting. I felt at home as soon as I walked through the door. My family will definitely come back in the near future!! #Imhooked Read Less

If you are looking for a place for your next tat or your first tat, this is definitely the place for you! Blair is truly a talented artist. She recreated a pic that I drew some years ago and it looks great! I will be getting all my tats from here on out. And I recommend if you are reading this and plan on getting one, go to Blair first PERIOD! Read Less

Blaire did an awesome job on a birthday tattoo for me.  She listened to what I wanted and worked with me to add in her own artistic advice and it turned out great.  Although the tattoo was simple, the fact that she listened, was fun, had a great personality and I love the tattoo this place is a 5 in my book.  Next up, my husbands 3/4 sleeve and Blair will be the one we go to!

I went in to get a small-ish tattoo on my hip. I showed Blaire the design and called in later in the week to make an appointment. They changed the appointment time on me once, but I got in just a little after I wanted. When I went in to finalize the design so that she could make the stencil, she INSISTED on the design of the horse shoes being done a certain way...whose body is being tattooed?? I was not happy with her attitude. Anyway, since she insisted, I let her do her design. She was able to get the tattoo done in about 50 minutes (about the size of an adult palm) with a little bit of "shading". The shading was poor quality, along with the non-uniformity of all the horse shoes (there are 4 shoes, all DIFFERENT sizes....not what I wanted). She told me that I should come back in for a free touch-up later on (didn't tell me when), but I wasn't really sure what she wanted to touch up. The price was about the only thing I liked about my experience - $60. I tipped her $20. Needless to say, I will not go back. I guess you get what you pay for. Read Less

Blair did a very reasonably priced cover up on me today.  She's personable and takes her time getting things right.  I loved that her dogs were there.   They were sweet and made the environment even more friendly.  They are only allowed in the sitting area for those of you that might be thinking "OMG DOGS THAT'S NOT SANITARY!11!!" (I could speak a bit about that but wrong website). Cash only so make sure you hit up the ATM first. Read Less

I have gotten a Buddha tattoo here and love it. Blair did a great job and I hear a lot of good things about her other work. She is very personable  and respectful to your wishes. On the other hand, her brother who is a store manager or something of two employees is rude. He didn't make any attempt to say hello or really talk to you at all. I have gone in recently only to be rudely thrown out at 2:15pm because they were closed until 2:30pm even though the unlocked door said 2pm. Anyway I would suggest Blair to someone but you may feel a little uncomfortable from other people. Read Less

Blair (owner and artist) is awesome, and she has a really cute dog.  I got my ears pierced and a lizard tattoo on my shoulder that has beautiful color.  Her business is still new and so her prices are low, but not because of quality.  She does amazing work and will listen to you.  She is very patient, even if you are picky about every detail or if you are scared of needles.  And to top it off the decor is awesome and true to her personality.
