I've been here a few time. I went to get a small tattoo for my friends birthday and the girl at the desk was completely rude didn't even give us the time of day. They just told us they couldn't do it because they basically didn't want to take anymore customers they are not professional at all And when I commented on Facebook about my experience they tried to belittle me and was beyond rude then deleted my comments so other customers couldn't see it !!! I'm so disappointed and will never come back definitely not a place you want to go there are plenty of other great tattoo places that generally care. DO NOT WATSE YOUR MONEY HERE. Read Less

Wanted to give a shout out to Beth at the front counter and my artist was Roe which he was amazing. This is the best place in Winston. Beth at the front is always funny and kind she always has a smile on and likes to make jokes and have fun! It’s a great environment and I wouldn’t chose anywhere else for my art! Roe always make sure you are happy all the way to the end, and listens to your ideas and than goes and puts it all together, he is very patient. Love this place!!! Read Less

Reasonable pricing, amazing design and amazing work!! I admit that at first thought I was skeptical about a tattoo shop in the MALL but it was phenomenal. Johnathan sketched up and applied my tattoo for me and it blew my mind how incredible it came out! Would definitely go back and recommend! Read Less

This is literally the best place I've ever worked, but not only that, I've been a loyal customer for about two years now. Roe has always done my tattoos and is incredible, but I can honestly say that I am in awe with each and every artists' work. Guy can turn a series of squiggles into a gorgeous forest in no time, Will's dragons and Japanese style art is phenomenal, Jonathan did an eagle that looked like it could fly off the customers skin and Roe's portraits look better than any photograph. The piercers here are wonderful with their customers as well. I've been pierced by both Joe and Adrian with wonderful results. They are incredibly patient and soothing with nervous customers and will make sure you get exactly what you want. Moving on to the shop Manager, Beth is such a wonderful person to be around. She's a bit loud, but don't let that throw you off. She has a heart of absolute gold. Her main concern is making sure that everyone is happy to the point of following customers out the door. She is incredibly loyal and works long shifts every single day and still keeps a smile on her face. I strongly suggest stopping by and checking out Deja Vu, I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. -Mariah Read Less

I came to check out the shop in hopes of getting a new tattoo. Upon arrival I was greeted by two unkempt women that were not only unprofessional but down right rude. I felt like I was inconveniencing them by just being there. I stayed about five minutes before just leaving. I refuse to get any work done in a place where I don't feel comfortable. If you are looking to get a new piece of body art done, I recommend you go somewhere else. In response to owners comment: I had been in there almost a week before I actually posted this review. Judging from your comment, and other reviews I've read, it's clear I'm not the only person that had an issue with your staff. I don't think blaming potential customers is going to solve your problem.

For the past 2 years, I’ve been coming to Deja Vu. Either to come get work done on myself, or to go with a friend who I’ve referred. I’ve NEVER had a single problem here! And any time I’ve walked in they know who I am and talk to me like an old friend that they haven’t seen in a while!!! Beth who is ALWAYS at the front desk when I come! Is amazing, and always works with me, for what I NEED. Adrian, has done every piercing on me!! And I probably will never go to anyone else, simple because I trust his judgment. If you’ve been to a different shop previously, and you enjoy that shop then, go where you’re comfortable. But please DO NOT, come and hate on the people that I trust with my skin/ body. I love Deja Vu! Read Less

Best place in Winston-Salem to get a tattoo. As soon as you walk Beth makes you feel like family and continues to do so until you walk out the door. Not to mention the quality of work. The tattoo I got from Roe should be in a magazine it is absolutely stellar. My friend got one from Jonathan and it is great too. I would recommend this place to anyone!!!! Read Less

This place is the literal worst. They were incredibly rude and very unfriendly. I went in to have my two tragus piercings changed and they were awful. They made my ears so sore from being so rough. I can't speak for their tattoos but their piercing experience was terrible. It's very dark and unsettling inside. I really have nothing positive to say about this place. Their prices are cheap but for good reason they're terrible. Avoid at all costs go somewhere that respects your business and listens to your concerns. Read Less

Beware!!! A new experience, but one I hope is never repeated for anyone. Wanting to get a tattoo, we had the unlucky chance of consulting with Roe, his mom or wife sits as the receptionist. He claimed to be an internationally known artist. Yet, someone of such caliber with those credentials wouldn't have copied a stencil directly from an online kids coloring site, supercoloring.com. I happened to come across it the Sunday after, shocked and disgusted doesn't begin to tell you how I felt. I suffered from 2nd hand embarrassment. I played my thoughts and feelings low-key since it was actually my BF who was marked for life in my honor. After the consult, BF forwarded the pics of the tat to Roe. However, at the appointment, Roe comes with a different rendition. We thought it was a sample of his artistry so we accepted it NOT knowing he had lifted the exact color sheet from a kids site and created a stencil. As I brought it to his attention, he had choice words, said he couldn't remember where he found it, but it was his inspiration - yada, yada, yada... he then HUNG UP the phone. To my dismay, I called back and unknowingly spoke to his mom, who pacified me. Tuesday, I reached out to the owner, made him aware of the entire experience and Roe's non-professionalism. By then, those two had their unlikely story together. The owner accepted the shop's explanation in the end, whatever that was. The owner discussed how tight he runs a shop and that it wouldn't be in the mall otherwise (well there's proof that contradicts that). What adult male wants to walk around with a tat he thoughtfully selected for its power and intricacy, but ends up resembling BAD apprentice work. It's clearly apparent Egyptian art, intricate art; faces aren't Roe's expertise by a long shot and the mediocre, childish result is a testament to that (before and after pics provided). Just being forthcoming and passing on the work would have kept Roe's reputation from being tarnished. Respect your craft is paramount. Heck, you don't have to be an expert in the field to recognize a sound work.With everything that transpired, my BF didn't want to acknowledge or call attention to the piece, too much negativity surrounded it. Short of having it removed, he spent the coming weeks fading it.The tat happened on a Thurs. and 2-days later we had secured an artist to fix it. His passion, workmanship and level of detail shows it. Apparently, Roe's rep precedes him and not in a good way. He had such a keen eye that when he saw the original tat, he knew Roe did it w/o us saying his name. Now the lines are tight and don't skip as before, there are no smears of ink as before, the serpent and crow at the top of the mask actually resemble the animals themselves not some distorted fecal matter as before. There is dimension and depth now. The shadowing and highlight now accentuate the piece. This artist didn't require a stencil. He studied a rendition and then freehanded over the prior work. The tat is now a mature statement piece and has received numerous compliments. We were able to turn trash to treasure. And, he and I are both glad about it. No one, and I mean no one, wanted to look at something with such low quality. And the fact it came from a kid's website was insult to injury. 3 hrs of pain for nada. How could that have ever met anyone's standards. Lesson learned! Read Less

Awful customer service. My cousin and I tried to get a tattoo 2 days in a row and was told many different manners in which to schedule an appointment or not to schedule an appointment. Either way,  I'm still confused. It seems as though they are picking and choosing who they want to work with? And the "owner" appeared to be under the influence of  something when talking to us. The receptionist was extremely rude and impersonal and seemed as though she didn't want to deal with us either day. I've seen great work from this place, however, with such terrible customer service, they will never receive my business!  Thumbs down!!! I gave a 1 star rating only because there is nothing lower.

New to Charlotte area and spent several months looking for an artist to start my sleeve. A friend suggested Sarah at Deja Vu, I must admit they are well worth the trip to Winston. Sarah and staff are professional and truly do their best to make your experience exceptional. Not to mention, Sarah's work is phenomenal, she took the extra time to really make sure my custom would look flawless and be exactly what I wanted. Regardless of where I relocate to in the future, I will definitely be returning for any further pieces I may want. Also, being in the healthcare industry for well over a decade upon entering Deja Vu, I was very pleased with the overall cleanliness and sanitation. Read Less

I stopped in this past Monday to get a tattoo as a walk-in. Everyone was friendly and professional. Eric was available to do my tattoo, and he did an amazing job. It looks so good, it is healing perfectly (actually, there doesn't seem to be much healing needed), and I have gotten so many compliments on it. I'm also asked who did it; it so happens that I'm from Ohio though, and no one wants to drive to NC to have one done, lol. Read Less

They ( Roe and Will)have done two of my tattoos and did a fantastic job. Very clean, cool and outgoing staff. I recommend to all my friends. Roe has now done 2 tattoos on me and they are fantastic. Beth up front is very nice and friendly. She made sure I had eaten and walked me through the process of getting a tattoo. Read Less

I have been to Deja Vu for tattoos​ and my nose piercing. I wouldn't go anywhere else. The shop is clean and comfortable.The staff is friendly and entertaining. The artists take time to really understand what you are asking for and have it come out right. The tattoos I've had done there are clean and beautiful! I recommend anyone looking to get a quality tattoo or piercing go to Deja Vu. FB Kari Kuhn Read Less

BUYER BEWARE!!! My daughter paid for a design that wasn't ready on the date scheduled for ink. She was required to prepay $65 for the design and a total of $350 in CASH before the template was placed on her back. The computer design didn't have any color and wasn't close to what was asked for during the initial consults. When the template was placed on her skin, it was obvious that the entire artwork needed to be resized, rescaled, design enhanced and modified to look like something similar to what she gave during the consult process. She was told that it would be corrected and to return in a few days to see the changes. When she returned to the shop two days later, she was informed that nothing had been done to the design. She was quite upset and asked for a refund because nothing had been done. They told her the money was deposited, refused a refund, and told her that she could get the tattoo, take a credit or let someone else use the money to get a tattoo. The girl at the desk did point to a sign after the second visit that says they won't issue refunds. The legal consent form doesn't state anywhere that there are no refunds. It would be different to not issue a refund if work had been completed, but the guy didn't even give her a completed and approved drawing. She was told to leave when she demanded to speak to a manager or the owner. I'm not sure why they think she would even want to deal with them again to "fix" this design or trust them to put something permanent on her skin due to their lack of follow-through with this entire transaction. We are now consulting the legal route and will be contacting the BBB to report this company. Now she's out her hard-earned money with nothing to show for it and they are enjoying the free cash.

At the recommendation of close friends, I took my daughter to Deja Vu to see Tony for her first tattoo when she was 18. She picked a small, simple tattoo in honor of her deceased grandfather. We were more then impressed with how it turned out. She has been back multiple times and Tony has continued to exceed all expectations. I had him add life to a drab tattoo that I had and he did the same for my aunt. I can't say enough about how happy we have been with our experiences! Read Less

It was a horrible experience, I got my belly pierced here. then I started to get an infection I was cleaning it right though and then I seen the metal on the jewelry starting to rust after three weeks of it being done. I went back to déjà vu... The guy that pierced it put a showcase jewelry in me. Which wasn't metal it was fake it turned. They had to take out the piercing. Told me to come back in three months to get it redone. But they will do it for free. I have to go through this all again in a few months. Because the guy that did it. Didn't care what he pierced me with. Read Less

The industrial I got here was done wrong. After three months the swelling didn't go down and I developed keloids because of bad placement. I went a few times to ask about it and was told it was 'fine'. After going a few times, the bar was switched out and bent but it did not help. I went again a couple weeks later after that and still was told it looked 'fine' and do the aspirin treatment for the bumps. I went to a different piercer who told me what I already highly suspected. That the piercing itself was not placed right and the only way for it to get better was to take it out. Time and money for the piercing and aftercare for it wasted. Read Less

The studio is the nicest studio in winston salem. All of the artists and body piercers are clean, friendly, and professional. I would highly recomend this studio for anyone who needs a tattoo or piercing. They do a fantastic job. Read Less

Having called ahead before making the long drive in mall traffic to ensure someone would be there to talk to us about a custom tattoo, we were assured some one would be there. I called twice once that morning and another before I left. I thought I had a scheduled appointment. Obviously not. Well of course the 3 or 4 tattoo artist laying on the couch were much to busy keeping the seat cushion from falling off the couch to even talk to us. Not one customer was sitting in a chair, everyone sitting around worked there. LAZY, egotistical and down right snobby. I guess they think they are on a reality show with their condescending attitudes. Not getting my money. Nor will I recommend them to anyone. Went somewhere else there are 18 tattoo places within a 50 mile radius of this place, they should consider this when it comes to customer service. I received my custom tat for 250.00 So in all fairness they did me a favor, I would have never lasted 4 hours at the mall tattoo parlor., Read Less
