We loved this place. Victor Garcia was a true professional and put us at ease from the very beginning. This was mine and my sisters’ first tattoos, we couldn’t ask for anyone better. Victor is a true artist, there is other artwork there by him that shows his true talent. Our’s was pretty basic I think. If I didn’t live a thousand miles from him that’s where I would go to get the others I would like.
Richard Stephens came highly recommended. He’s been tattooing almost everyone I know for years. The shop is clean and comfortable. Rich’s work is beautiful, and he is very skilled at creating a piece that is truly going to make you happy. We came in with an idea for a memorial piece for our dog, and he created the perfect tattoo. He puts so much detail into his portraits, he brought our baby to life. Now we will always have her with us, it’s absolutely perfect. Thank you Richard! I’m excited for our next tattoos with you.
I got my first tattoo with Victor! I was extremely nervous. I sent him the idea I had the day before and when I walked in, it was drawn up better than I could have imagined. If you want a beautiful, crisp tattoo with extreme attention to detail, Victor is your guy! I am extremely safety conscious and was happy to find how clean and sanitary Alchemy Tattoos was.In short, if you want a tattoo... Go there, without a doubt!!!! Just do it!
This is based off of my experience in 2016... I never took the time to just say that for a first tattoo this is a great shop to go to. Rich is a great family man, who truly cares about getting you what you want. He worked to make me feel comfortable and allowed me to even play music during everything. The tattoo its self has been the only tattoo I can say I didnt have any pain receiving. Ive got nothing but love and respect for the entire team. You cant just go anywhere for a tattoo, but you can definitely go to Rich and his amazing group of trained professionals.P.S. Rich is a huge nerd and will make sure if you get a comic inspired tat, itll look better than the original work. Please give this shop the respect and time they have earned over the years. If you work with them they will make you happy and have ya coming back.
Rich was awesome! He is so easy to talk to & very welcoming! The shop is clean, organized, & the atmosphere is very comfortable. He did such a great job with my piercing I went back just a few hours later to get a 2nd one. Definitely recommend this shop & I will most definitely be back!
My sisters and I got our first tattoos here. Victor Garcia, put us at ease from the start. He did a beautiful job and he has other art work you can see there. We know ours was really small and simple compared to what he can do. He was funny, professional and if we lived there I would have more done by him.
My 3 friends and i came in for walk in tattoos on the last day of our vacation. victor was absolutely amazing, not only the artistry but as a person. he made us all feel super comfortable, talked the whole time, made jokes with us, but down to the tattoos themselves they’re amazing. he 100% worked with all of us and told us what would look better, tweaked some things and topped our ideas as well as where we should place it. you can tell they don’t do this for the money but to really give you exactly what you want and i highly recommend this place to everyone!! we’re flying down here each time we want one because the work, vibe and environment were just phenomenal!
Victor re-did a shoulder piece that I’ve had for a couple years that was lacking in detail. It was a gray wash and all the flowers blended into each other. He did a fantastic job and was very detail oriented. I live in VA and plan on coming back down for him to finish the rest of my piece. I highly recommend him!! The picture does not do it justice.
If you’re in the Largo area, I would 100% recommend coming here for your tattoo. I walked in and was told that my idea could come to life. I did my session with Victor and he walked and talked me through my idea and we ended up changing the placement and concept to look more realistic (versus a simple plain tattoo that wouldn’t work with the words I also wanted to have tattooed on me). He definitely cares about what you want for yourself and will 100% make sure that it is in the right spot..the right size..the right idea and design. The other artists in the shop were very friendly as well. Their sense of humor was comforting for those who might be anxious about getting a tattoo. The shop was very clean and organized. They were on top of their game with the COVID-19 protocols as well. I will be flying from Boston back to the shop in 2 weeks just to add on to my tattoo. (YES. Boston to FL! They are that amazing). Overall a great experience and definitely what you would want from feel safe and comfortable when getting your tattoo!
Me and a friend went in as a walk ins and both got two tattoos each! Price was great but the work was even better!! Tom did my behind the ear rose and it came out wayyyyyy better than I expected! He also did the candy heart on my arm and it came out amazing too! Victor did my friends tattoos we did matching candy hearts on the arm and they matched them very perfectly and they came out amazing she also got a Taurus zodiac sign!! They are both very professional with what they do neat and clean and friendly! I definitely recommend coming here!! Rich did my septum piercing as well and he did great too!! Definitely go see them!! I’ll definitely be back!! Very satisfied
Victor is 100% the real deal!! Ive worked with multiple artist in the past 25 years. Never have I had an artist so passionate about his work. Seriously, you can see the skill and quality in his work.Youll definitely be back!!
Victor made my mothers day. He was extremely nice and stayed after close to help me out. His work was flawless and he was extremely professional. Very very happy with the work he did. I would definitely recommend this shop and Victor to everyone. I will be back for more work !!!!
Got my Medusa & Septum pierced yesterday. Rich was friendly and did a great job on them. He listened to my concerns about the placement of my Medusa and adjusted it accordingly. He double checked with me & made me feel secure about both. Overall excellent job & will definitely be back for more!
My artist was Victor and he was so talented. He took his time on my tattoo and took the art to a next level. I wish I lived here because everyone at the shop is extremely talented and makes sure you get exactly the tattoo you want. If I am ever back in Florida I will be visiting again. The shop is clean and everyone is happy to have you there. I could not recommend this place more.
I’ve gotten two decent sized pieces from both Tom and Victor! Planning on doing a sock with Victor and Tom did an amazing cover up for me! Thanks to them both! highly satisfied! Great atmosphere everyone is friendly! Highly recommend this shop
Let me first say I am so grateful right now for the time Eric has taking with me . Me and my husband in the last month or so have Got a couple tattoos that I am so in love with but its not just that I share I drove them nuts but even thought my crazy Eric was able to make an amazing piece and the price I payed for 18 Pieces of tattoo was so affordableThey really care of about people and put the time into each and every tattoo I honestly love this place and the people they make u feel so convertible
It is important to let people know that this business does not allow service dogs. Anyone with a disability requiring a service dog will be discriminated against, and asked to leave. I stopped by to see about getting a gift certificate for a family member and was asked to leave. because of my service dog. I know that I have rights and can pursue this. I am very thankful to learn that I would not want to give this place of business my money. I am going to have a good day! I have other places to patronize.
I highly recommend this shop! Myself and my daughters got our tattoos from Tom and they were perfect!! Also seen Too Talls work and it was beautiful as well. Great people, great place, and great vibes!!
Had such a great experience getting my septum pierced here. Rich was very professional and kind. 10/10 would definitely recommend!
This is definitely the spot to hit in the largo area! my guy victor is so professional and cool. he makes you feel valued and comfortable the entire time. come see them!
This place is awesome rich did and amazing job on me and my bestfriend
The gentleman(first chair on your right as you walk in) who did my tattoos (2 in one session) blew one out while the other is healing well. He went over the blown out one about 12-15 times and took over 40 mins with it (a simple verse in a simple font) and took around 5 mins with the other one that is healing well. While we were walk-Ins they weren’t busy at all. It’s a fuzzy tattoo only a week in. Lesson learned. The owner reached out and offered to correct it.
Got 3 piercings in one day. Richard was super awesome and professional
Came in on a walk-in, truly amazed at how pleasant,&professional my experience was from the moment I walked in.Greeted right away, Made to feel very comfortable as well as the shop was very clean with amazing artwork coving the walls.(1st off )Time management ! Amazing !They welcomed me.went over what I was there to have done.advised me I had a few customers before me.went through paperwork/information pertaining to my piercing I was to receive lip/nose, so my waiting experience was actually pleasantly calming due to this was not my first piercing, more 1st on my face for a woman you want to be comfortable with whom you chosen for this to have a pleasant, as well as correct experience !At this time I felt Reassured!!& very comfortable while watching,seeing Rich was passionate with his talents,as well with his customers experience making sure they received the best care possible with him. I was safe.In the end i was in and out.The wait time was more of efficient,most informative experience that I welcomed! He did an amazing job! I want to thank Rich for a great experience and a beautiful job well done!will Be definitely returning for more work in the future!
I am extremely happy with my tattoo, and the way I was consulted at every turn. Victor was my artist and he was phenomenal but I also got the chance to see other arrists work, and they were amazing as well!! No complaints!!
Victor did a beautiful best friends tattoo for me and Ive already gotten so many compliments. Ill definitely return. 🥰🥰
LIGHT HANDED, GENTLEMAN, GREAT ARTIST, VERY PROFESSIONAL, CREATIVE ARTIST, I LOVE IT WHEN I CAN TELL THAT THE ARTIST HEART AND SOUL IS IN IT 💯%
Only place i go great shop great artist
Rich is awesome, not only does he care about you as a customer but he wants to be sure you will be happy with your art 10 years from now. My entire family has been through his chair several times and we will be back several more.
I’ve gotten my last 4 tattoos here (all pretty decent sizes) and they have all come out the exact way I wanted. Tom is a great artist and I highly recommend you to ask for him 10/10 service.
Victor did an AMAZING tattoo and it didn’t hurt, the machine was quiet. He was very thoughtful and understanding overall amazing customer service and great quality tattoo!
I walked-in for an estimate and was greeted by artist Tom. He ended-up doing an amazing bluebird tattoo for me. Thank you!!!
Just got a tattoo done by VIC. Was a great experience and he made it comfortable since it was my first time!! Definitely coming back for more
Shout out to victor amazing work friendly service hard to find artists like this guy definitely will be a return costumer.
Victor took the memorial tattoo for my furr baby and left me with the most beautiful paw prints that will be on my heart forever ❤ I will be back!!!
Anyone who has tattoos knows how important it is to find the right shop and with so many different shops it’s hard to pick. After internet searches, looking on Facebook, reading reviews, and talking to locals, I decided to try Alchemy. I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am with that choice. The owner Rich immediately welcomed me into the shop and was very receptive and helpful. He knows his artists and who might be best for each tattoo. He has a VERY clean shop, and his prices are good. I was there looking to get my first tattoo from 30 years ago covered up. Cover ups can be difficult and some shops don’t wanna touch them. Others try to talk you out of what you want to cover it up with. Not the case here. We went over different options and I decided which one I wanted and made my appointment. Tom did an amazing job! There’s no way you can tell it’s a cover up! I was so pleased with the work and the way I was treated that I made an appointment with Rich (who was backed up about 2 weeks). This time I wanted a tattoo I had gotten a few years ago gone over and incorporated into my sleeve at the top of the shoulder. Once again not something every shop wants to do. Rich was amazing and it would be impossible for me to be happier! I have 2 different tattoos that were done at famous shops that are on tv and Rich’s work is equally as good, if not better. I would highly recommend stopping in and talking to him before I went anywhere else. You won’t regret it.
I’m from Ohio and wanted to get a double nose stud. Richard was super welcoming and informed me I’d probably only want to do one then wait a few weeks to do the other which was super helpful as this is my first piercing! He did a great job with the piercing and got me in and out quickly. Would 100% recommend getting pierced here!
Jay was fantastic, very laid-back! Super happy with my tattoo, will be back again!
Lynni is an amazing piercer! Highly recommended!
Amazing place, an vibe. My tattoo artist Victor was amazing, definitely recommend.
Im sorry. I dont know anything about this shop. Posted on the wrong page
My sister and I have been pierced 5+ times from Rich. Love the realness and the atmosphere! Will continue to go here!!
Rick did an awesome job with my nose piercing. Gave me awesome care instructions as well.
Super kind professional and very efficient. Got 2 body piercings. Will be back for a tattoo.
Love this place.. ! Great artists and prices
I have been working with Richard Stephens and Alchemy Tattoos for the past 4 years. It is the most professionally run Tattoo Shop that I haveever been in. It is by far the Cleanest Environment that you could possibly hope to get Tattooed in. Richard and the rest of the Tattoo Artists in hisshop hold an incredibly high standard for Safety & Cleanliness. Great Place to Get a Tattoo. PERIOD!
Jay did an amazing job on my tattoo today! Me and my friends came in early in the morning very unprepared and he worked with us to make sure we got exactly what we were looking for. Great shop super clean and great service. Definitely recommend!
Saw Tom today for some little tatts at Alchemy Tattoos. Where to start... As soon as I got out of the car the sign on the door read No Mask/No Entry/No Exceptions. I knew right then I was in the right place during the current state of things. The shop was exceptionally clean and well kept. Colorful with all the artists work hanging on the walls. During the initial conversation about the designs I wanted, Tom was very helpful with sizing and placement.All the equipment used for the tattoo is disposable, lending to the cleanliness and safety of my experience. Tom is very friendly and easy going. I had to send my images via FB messenger and right after I left the shop, I got a message from Rich asking if I was helped yet. It was very nice of him to get back to me in such a timely manner.I would HIGHLY recommend going to Alchemy Tattoos for your tattoo and piercing needs. You wont be disappointed!
Best tattoo place. Ask for Richard
Good service and attention to detail
A great shop with tons of cool artwork all around a very welcoming place. have gotten 2 tattoos here so far by tom and loved them. tom is a great artist as well the others, the owner rich is a very nice guy. this shop does amazing work and i will definitely be coming back for years to come.
Had a tattoo done by Rich. Got there, great experience from start to finish. I highly recommend.
Best tattoo shop in the area. Tried them out first time a few months ago based on Google reviews and couldnt be happier. Both Rich and Tom do amazing work. Ive since gotten 11 tattoos in the last 3 months all from here.. everyone has come out great. Touch ups are free, and you always get a coupon for new visits over $100.
Dan and Rich have both done work on myself and my husband. They are very professional, clean and do fantastic work! I recommend them to anyone who is looking for tattoos or piercings. Yes, you may wait a few but theyre only ensuring your safety and sanitary well being as well as other customers.
Rich is the shop owner... HE IS THE BEST! He hand drew the logo of my fathers record label, and tatted it on my shoulder blade in about 2 hours. Not only that, but he didn’t charge extra to make it slightly bigger or add color... he TRULY wants his customers to be happy and have a good experience in his shop! I would recommend him to everyone!!
Went in for a first time tattoo. Richard was very welcoming and made the experience calming. Was very reassuring that it was my decision in the end and that it would be permanent. He did a quick and amazing job. The tattoo came out super sharp and I have received many complements on it already.
Ive been getting tattooed/ pierced here by Rich for over 6 years. They are professional, creative ( not afraid to design up an original piece), have competitive prices and very sanitary. I love a place that wont tolerate hatered towards anyone and will make you feel comfortable while getting work done. Cant wait for my next piece.
Rich is the best. Have several pieces from him and all of the are fantastic
The staff was friendly and helpful the Store was very clean Rich did my tattoo. I gave him an idea and showed him a few pictures of what I wanted and he came back with an original great piece of art. Exactly what I wanted Jay did my wifes tattoo she gave him an idea of what she wanted and back with Awesome piece we are both very happy with the work we got done we would go there all the time but we live in Texas.
I stopped in to inquire about some black and grey lace tattoo Ive been thinking about. I spoke to Richard, who was getting ready to start work on a client, but he took the time to answer a few questions, which I appreciated. Tattoos are very personal and a good tattoo artist will draw something original for each client. Richard gave me a ballpark figure as far as time and cost, which fell in line with the rest of the work I currently have (and I have some killer ink, if I do say so myself). The way Richard interacted with me definitely made me want to get a tattoo from him. I hope to be able to get together with him in the near future to discuss a design together. But the fact that he treated me like a good tattoo artist should gives him high props already.
Jen Martin is a amazing artist that is employed by this shop. I have had the pleasure of knowing for over ten years and am lucky enough to have most of my body art from her amazing skills. Rich is the owner of this shop am and is equally awesome he did a great piece on my husband and soon I will hopefully have him cover a piece on my husband soon. Great artist and amazing clean shop. Go there youll thank me later :)
Ive come here for my last 3 tattoos and my last piercing. Tommy is a God when it comes to tattooing. Ive even had my coworkers come here and they amazed. Prices are reasonable too. This is the place to come
I am thrilled with how my tattoo turned out! It took very little time and healed quickly! So much detail in my 🌴
Very nice and helpful! Thank you!
Very professional, very clean and very happy I got my first tattoo here
I was super nervous getting my first piercing here but the piercer was so chill that I wasnt really nervous and the whole process went smoothly. 5/5 would recommend.
This was my second time goin to this shop I followed my artist Tom who I have been with for over 3 years now. He is incredible..! I ask for something and Tom will piece by piece turn it into his own work so it’s unique and no one else will have my exact tattoo. He can blow minds! You can definitely tell the passion of the tattoo artists that work here when you talk to them. How they love what they do and they actually care to learn more all the time which says a lot about them as people not only artist. The art on the wall is actually for sale from the artist in shop, so that’s a really cool bonus if your into that! I will def be continuing to go here and refer all my friends here! You can tell Rich loves what he does and he does it in the best professional way! Great shop and environment for hours and hours of ink! Can’t wait to come back!
Come here for nearly all my tattoos and piercings. Rich never disappoints. Between the great jokes and wonderful artwork, I never walk out having a bad experience.
Excellent customer service, they wore PPE, and answered everything efficiently.
Best experience ever!!! My friend got his birthday septum pierce here and had the greatest laugh with a the best piercer. Thank you so much!
I went as a spur of the moment walk in and IM SO HAPPY I DID. Tom was awesome!! He was super honest with me about what I was choosing, made me so comfortable during the tattoo and did a great job!! Hes a great artist!! I dont even live in town but I will be coming back to see him again!!
Took the wife here for some daith piercings today. Staff very professional and skilled. Went very well. Equipment well maintained. Autoclave present. No trashy pics on the wall. Very pleased with our visit.
Rich is one of the best tattoo artists around town for sure. He is amazing. Not only is he good at custom tattoos he is very funny. If I could rate higher I would.
I thought Dan did a great job! He took the time to make sure my tattoo was exactly the way I wanted He also took the time to draw it to my liking. The price was good and I was so happy that it came out just the way I wanted it. The shop was very clean and the experience was a pleasure. Everyone was very professional and I would recommend DAN to all my friends and family.
Ive got a full sleeve done on my left arm by Daniel and hes starting to fill up my right arm. Ive been getting tatted here for a couple of years and Ive never had an issue. The shop owner, Rich as in I want to be rich one day, is another great artist at the shop too. I try to send as much business their way as possible because they have fair prices and give you quality work every time. If youre not in the area, its worth the drive.
Had the most amazing experience. The shop is spotless and the guys were welcoming. It was like walking into families house from the get go. I would recommend this shop to anyone who wants ink work done.
This is hands down the BEST shop in the area. Ive been coming here for several years and I wont go anywhere else. The prices are reasonable, the shop is clean, the work is incredible, and the staff is awesome, especially the owner Rich who always goes out of his way to make you feel welcome and at ease. Ive felt with a lot of shops in the Tampa Bay area over the years and they all seem to be lacking in one way or another, but Alchemy never disappoints!!!
Richard did a phenomenal job at redoing a piece that I had previously gotten done. He basically finished a tattoo that was meant to be a cover-up and was started by another tattooer. As soon as I walked in his shop it was all smiles and jokes from everyone there including the other canvases. It made me feel so good to know that I was accepted. It was the most pleasant experience Ive ever had in a shop and would recommend them to anyone. Rich will be getting all my business from now on.
Rich has done 4 extremely amazing tattoos on me . I moved away and refused to go anywhere else. I am a breast cancer survivor and have spoken to him about a cover piece cant wait to work on an idea and have him bring it to life I am back in Florida now. So excited to come by the shop
Richard Stephens did a beautiful amazing perfect watercolor dandelion tattoo on my rib cage. Great service, private, and a fun experience over all. Everyone Is very professional and the shop is very nice.. if you want a good quality tattoo go see Rich at Alchemy Tattoos. ⭐️🔥⭐️
After 8 years of living with one of the most horrible tattoos Ive ever seen I finally found my in hiatis at Alchemy tattoos and piercings in Largo Florida. Rich was the one that did my cover up and just seeing the stencil I knew that it would change my life forever. I have new confidence as a man and as a human being that I can do anything now that I have a new lease on my skin and my ink. Thank you to everyone at that shop for making me feel so comfortable and so at home from Rich to J to Dan to Tom there isnt one person to that shop that wont make you feel welcomed. Best environment and some of the most beautiful artwork Ive ever seen from the paintings in the walls 2 works of art on peoples skin this shop is an all-around go to for all of your tattoo and piercing needs.
Alchemy Tattoos and Body Piercings is a place I would highly recommend for both piercings and tattoos. I got my belly button pierced there almost a year ago, so when I decided to get a new tattoo today I figured Id go back to a place I knew. I was greeted right away, given a sketch of the tattoo I described, and named a very reasonable price. The tattoo artist Dan is extremely professional, polite, and talented. I couldnt be more thrilled with my new tattoo! Next time I want ink, there isnt a question that Ill be going back to Alchemy.
Rich was great. Really nice and super helpful. Great sense of humor and talented artist. Will be going back to see him again soon.
I came here as soon as I turned 18, been happy with every tattoo Ive gotten here since. Everyone made me feel welcome and relaxed. Good prices and deals, fun talented people.
Spent some time trying to figure out what I wanted to honor my grandfather... I went in and Mike did an amazing job. He was meticulous and very professional. Mike is new to the shop but I will be back many more times for his artwork on my temple.
