I went here to see if they could put a hoop in my nose because I was having trouble getting it in myself. The guy (tall, big, ginger prick) couldn't get it in which was fine because it was a larger gauge. The problem started when he was putting my other hoop back in. He was not gentle at all and proceeded to shove it back into the hole while I was in tears and expressed how it hurt. Also this same hoop I had no problem getting in and out of my nose earlier after trying to put the new one in. He then told me in a very rude tone 'well do you want to leave without anything in the hole and it close up . " I should have just put it in myself. I will never come here again. I wouldn't even get simple earlobe piercings from this place.

The place itself and the people are nice and the price is reasonable, but apparently it's just too much to ask a tattoo artist to do some straight, parallel lines. The stencil looked different from what actually came out of my arm, and the glaring imperfections were clear once the tattoo healed. Uneven, shaky, fading, blown out line work make a bad tattoo even worse. I'm getting it covered up by real artists, not just ones who specialize in cheap Pinterest tattoos in a college town.

I went as a walk in on a Saturday and the wait was long but ABSOLUTELY worth every minute!!! Justin did a fantastic job. He was very meticulous about making sure he was giving me exactly what I wanted and that the placement was exact. He also was very laid back and did a great job lightening the mood and making me feel comfortable for my first tattoo. I live 4 hours away and plan on going back to him when I’m ready for tat-two! Great experience!

Zach is absolutely amazing. Highly recommend. He did my very first tattoo 2 weeks ago, and I went back yesterday for another one. Planning another.

Got my tragus pierced here and they said they had the "high end jewelry" but I didn't even have the piercing in a week and the balls that screw on to the post fell off. Went back had the post reput in and both the balls feel off within a day. I'm better off putting my own jewelry in. Nice people but really bad jewelry that's not worthwhile.

I have been tattooed by Cory with no issue. He's friendly, and done an excellent job. I do however find that their scheduling is atrocious. I have eleven tattoos, from 4 different shops and 6 different artists, but no where is as difficult at Ancient Art. Their front desk clerk is rude, unhelpful and tries to give you time and cost estimates although he has no idea what he's talking about. He tries to act like an artist, but everywhere else I'd go you deal with the actual artist on these things. Honestly, I like Cory, but there's a ton of great artists and shops in Roanoke that have a more helpful staff and more variety in styles. If you're putting something permanent on your body it's worth dealing with a better atmosphere.

From the reception counter to the moment I walked out it was an overall great experience. If you're doing a walk-in on a friday be ready to wait a few hours in case others are in line before you. Cory did a fantastic job and was friendly and professional in every way. He showed me the tools they used when I asked and gave advice on how to care for the tattoo for the first few weeks.

Prices are really good here, and they are very professional. I will definitely go back for a touch up and my next tattoo.

My fiancé and I went and got matching tattoos last night and I was very impressed! The guy at the front desk could have been a little nicer, but oh well! The place was very clean and the artist took his time making sure everything was sanitized and ready to go! He was very good with giving suggestions on tattoo placement and needle size and he was very fast, but very accurate! We originally wanted our script in very tiny writing, but he suggested not to go very small because it would blowout; I really respected his opinions and suggestions. I could just tell he knew was he was doing and he was GOOD at what he did by the way he talked; very intelligent and passionate. He made sure that we saw that he took everything fresh out of the package and he was just all around a sick artist! I would say a TAD pricey, but hey! Everyone has to make money. Because the tattoo meant SO much, we decided to go for it anyway, and I'm glad we did! Highly recommend!
