If I could leave 0 stars I would. My arm is so messed up in so many ways. Savage ruined my entire arm. He also put his signature hidden skull in the tattoo, without my permission, or even talking to me about it. That is the most disrespectful thing that has ever happened to me. I wasn't even aware it was there until another artist pointed it out and told me he does that to most everyone. Never coming back here, and I wouldn't recommend him to anyone. I have many other issues with this shop, but I'll keep them to myself.

Went to Savage and Heads tattoos in the 90's when they were on S.Saunders st. In Raleigh, for a tongue piercing. Then for a tattoo, when they were located downtown, they are all friendly people. Very satisfied with them. Johnny is a great artist. Thinking of coming to his new place, for another tat and piercing.

I love the artist Savage! He is very talented at what he does. He is definitely a legend! If you want a tattoo this is the place to go to. Gerry is also a great artist. They are both very professional and polite! They are willing to take the time to help you find the right design that fits your style. Also, customize your artwork. I'll be coming back for sure!

Mr. Savage is the best tattoo artist I've ever known. He is patient and works with you if you feel pain. He's supper energetic and loves his job. I did a full arm tattoo in one 4 hour sitting and he always asked how I was doing and if I needed a break. I didn't but the fact he cares about his clients means a lot!

Never made it inside the gang of folks outside hanging around made us really uncomfortable. Seemingly unwelcoming.
