We love Rem! Came in with 2 of my friends and we decided to get matching helix piercings. We all are extremely nervous people naturally, and we had negative experiences at Ink Villains. We came in because of his reviews and were not let down! He made all of us feel at ease and made us all laugh. So felt spontaneous and got also got my septum pierced. Will never got anywhere again.
Absolutely love Leo!! He’s super funny and knows how to make a Someone feel super relaxed and comfortable. I got my nose pierced with my roommate and he made sure to put our nerves at ease while piercing us. 10/10 experience!!
I did a double foward helix with Rem! He was super kind and made the whole experience 100% better! He talked me through everything he was doing. Very professional but still very down to earth. Highly recommend!! I love my piercing so much!
I dont normally leave reviews but this time I just had too, a few days ago me and my sister went to get septum piercings and my sister also got a dermal, not only are the piercings doing amazing but also the whole experience was great, our experience with rem was just awesome, someone who knows how to make you feel comfortable, explains everything you need to know and also makes you laugh through the whole process. Would recommend a 100% ... Get your piercings people 🙌🏻
Amazing shop, super clean and really great people work there. Eddie Rivera has done quite a few of my tattoos and they all look and have healed great. Thank you to stigma ink for years of great work.
I have been going to Stigma Ink for several years now. Anytime I have the itch, Eddie is my go-to man! Eddie is easy going and such a pleasure to work with! I am in the process of a full leg piece and he free-handed all of the line work and I am OBSESSED with it. Eddie is great at what he does and thorough; I have 5 pieces in total from him and every single one is truly a work of art. I could not recommend Stigma Ink or Eddie highly enough!!
Stigma Ink is such a welcoming place. I was really nervous to come in but after today I will be coming back for future tattoos. I was a walk in and Eddie took me right away. He made sure I liked the size and quality of my tattoo before starting. Very profession and I would totally recommend to people looking for a great tattoo place in Tampa.
I called on a busy Saturday for a walk in. I was spontaneously on vacation and just really wanted a small tattoo. I called and was told everyone was busy but someone would call me back if they became available. Got a call about an hour later and was worked in. Charlie was amazing. He was very friendly and even chatted with my daughter, who was excited to see me get a tattoo. The ship was clean and a good vibe. Charlie even took the time to explain about how ink doesn’t hold well certain places so I offered to move me design (I wanted a finger tat) to another spot and he wouldn’t let me, he made sure I could get what I originally wanted, it was really awesome to be treated so nicely and just a very good experience all around. I’ll be coming back for sure, as I visit Tampa frequently.
Rem was my piercer. He did an amazing job! I was super nervous about getting my nose pierced and had been putting off doing it because. He made me feel very at ease and gave me a few words of wisdom that helped with my anxiety. It was quick and painless and was nothing like how everyone describes it on the internet. I showed him my ears which are pierced crooked because they were done at the mall with a gun, which I know know is the worst way to get pierced. NEVER DO IT!! Rem was able to give me second holes in my lobes using a measuring tool and make them look actually beautiful & even. He was able to do it in a way that made my crooked previous holes normal again. I will never go to another piercer again.
My boyfriend and I got 1 ear and 2 nipple piercings all by Rem while visiting here. By far the best piercer we’ve experienced, def over 5 stars!! When I got dizzy from my piercings, he immediately turned on a fan, got a cold washcloth for my head, gave me a sucker, and made sure I laid down. Gave us his contact info to reach out incase of an issue, even when we’d be going back home across the country. Super professional & made us feel comfortable. Legit the best service we could’ve gotten!!
Got my first big tattoo here while vacationing in the Bay Area . The staff was really accommodating helping me get a appointment set up with only a days notice. Eddie Riveria did my tattoo and he was a pleasure to be around bc he carried on a conversation with me and was checking on me throughout the session to make sure I was okay. He was quick too and my tattoo looked outstanding and didn’t disappoint one bit. I recommend anyone in the area get their next tattoo here.
Had the idea for my sleeve for a long time but never found anyone who could bring it to life until I met Eddie. He was able to capture just what I was looking for. Not only was he quick and easy to work with but he will give you a creative custom piece that will have have everyone asking where you got it! Thanks Eddie Rivera!!! Cant wait to start on color!!!!
Charlie was phenomenal. Great natural artist. Provided several sketches quickly that brought my concept to life in a few minutes. He was very open to adjustments and we had a final template in a short time. As mine was a large tattoo he took his time to ensure good coverage with a steady hand. Very well done.
CHARLIE SMITH IS THE TITTTSSSSSSS! Always a great experience at stigma. They’re always so amazing especially my dude cholly boy. ^.^
Carlos is amazing. He did a cover up on a decade old tattoo in which the previous artist really damaged my skin. Fast and professsional. Would definitely recommend.
Got my first tattoo today with Charlie. He was so gentle & comforting. I’ll definitely keep coming here for my future tattoos. Staff was super friendly & cool. Thank you guys so much! :)
Stigma Ink is by far the best, most professional tattoo joint in Tampa Bay. Theyre very sanitary, thorough, and definitely have the best artists around. Eddie was my artist today and did a amazing job. After going there, I wont go anywhere else in the future. Thanks again Eddie, I love it!
I havent gotten a new piercing in over 15 years, so you can imagine how nervous I was when I decided to get my nipples pierced. Rem was very friendly and professional. He answered all of my questions, and made me feel comfortable. He was also very thorough with after care info and what to expect and everything was very sterile. Ill definitely be back in 2 months to change my jewelry and potentially get a new piercing. Im feeling the empowerment Rem!
First tattoo experience and Charlie was awesome with a tat behind my ear. Super clean lines and quick, easy process. Loved it.
Got my 6th tattoo from my boy @cholly_boy did an amazing job as always. Great convo, great price, great work, and very professional. Already got my next appt set up
Dont bother going anywhere else this place is fantastic all the artist give 100% all the time the place is so clean you get to have a heart operation in there and the work its beyond words to explain how good it is?!!
Listwn...I came in here from Ohio. I originally scheduled with another artist but some things got mixed up. The OWNER came in to make sure I got exactly what I came for and to make sure I left a happy customer. THATS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED! This piece meant so much to me....THE BIGGEST SHOUT OUT IN THE WORLD TO CHARLES AND THE OWNER FOR MAKING MY VISION COME TRUE! 💜 Very happy! 😍
My tattoo artist was fantastic! That tattoo turned out amazing, definitely will go back for my next tattoo.
My artist was Eddie I came in to get Roman numerals. when we were talking about where I was going to put it he was touching me with his dirty hands. He had like green and yellow paint all over his hands and arms. When the tattoo was done all the lines were different sizes some small, some tall, some fat. It looks like a kid did it. He said he has all this experience but it doesn’t look like it. It was A weird vibe in there I will not be coming back
Rem was an extremely patient, helpful, and professional piercer that eased my nervousness and put up with my incessant chatting. He pierced my nipples and walked me through the process, from start to finish, and also provided thorough aftercare instructions. The process was totally sterile and he made sure to use new needles, sterile material, and did all of the appropriate gloves changes and post-piercing clean-up. Its been 3 days, Ive had zero complications, and they look amazing.
Ren pierced my nose and belly button today and he did an amazing job and it didn’t hurt at all, i’ve also gotten tatted by charlie and he’s amazing i’ll be coming back to them both for sure
Went to get mother and daughters piercings and had a great experience. REM was extremely professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely recommend this shop to others.
Rem is awesome, I got my second lobe done somewhere else, paid a bucket for a high end piercing/picked it over an industrial which was dumb on my part as I had constant issues with. This was definitely not a *beginner*piercing. However some piercing studios only care about the profit not the customer. In the end exchanged it for one of my own purchased piercings and since then my ear was healing just fine. I decided to go to Stigma after reading the reviews. Rem took time took time to answer my questions and pierced my second and third lobe of my other ear. Im going back to get my tragus done for sure. I wish I didnt waist my time at the other place. Thanks again
Kyle has been tattooing me for 4 years now and he has given me nothing but excellent work. He is more talented than you could ever believe. He will always go above and beyond expectations. Not only is he an amazing artist but he is also an amazing person. I have been lucky enough to get to know Kyle over the past few years and truly admire him. I can’t recommend him enough! I wish I could keep him all to myself but I know that he is too amazing of a tattoo artist to not share. Book with him today!! No regrets
I had Rem as my piercer and he was great! I got my nipples pierced and did not feel uncomfortable at all, the room was private and he was very sanitary and made the process easier. I have a very low pain tolerance but he helped me get through it and put a cold washcloth on my head when I felt woozy. My friends that came with me liked him so much they decided to get their own piercings too!! If you’re thinking about getting your nipple pierced, do it!!
****Update***** Santana has his own shop now Santana Tattoos ********I cant say enough of great things about this place and the people that work there!! Chino is the owner and one coolest people ever! He pierced my daith, talked me through all the things I needed to know about it, and took his time and precise. Santana is my tattoo artist and has down a couple of my tattoos. He is very passionate about his work!! He wants to ensure that he captures exactly what a person is thinking before any work is done. Even with all my complicated thoughts, he takes the time to understand the concept that I have for the tattoo.
I got a tattoo done with Carlos Valdez, I told him in advance I made a mistake with the time of my appointment, was only 15 minutes late. He said he would work on the design the day of, then he was very rude when I asked for changes (I specifically asked for a certain size) then the third time he said it was going to be the last time he was making any changes (I only got through with it cause I really wanted to get my tattoo done that day). When I agreed to the design he asked if I was this demanding with everything in my life, to which I responded: Only with things that go permanently in my body. He said he was going to charge me $30 additional for all the changes (2) and for being late 15 minutes. The cashier said he could do anything cause he needed to charge me what the artist said. The tattoo is crooked to one side. Horrible experience!!!!
Mec was the best! So professional, kind and talented. I felt very safe with their Covid protocols. He explained the process thoroughly and helped me to understand how to clean and care for my nose piercing moving forward. Couldn’t recommend this place more.
Rem did my conch for me when I went with my sister to get a piercing. Decided on the spot I wanted to get it done and he did a great job! Very friendly and everything was sanitary.
Walked in for a spontaneous tattoo and the artists far exceed both my boyfriend’s and my expectations!!! Very clean, welcoming, and a great price. Will definitely be back!
Mec did my nose piercing last night and it was a great experience! He was so professional and made me feel super comfortable. Everything was explained before hand. Best part - it didn’t hurt at all!
Came here for piercings! I chose this place based on some Facebook and Yelp reviews. I was so pleasantly surprised!! Mec was so professional and nice; he went above and beyond to make me comfortable and happy. He walked me through everything. I will absolutely be back for my next piercings! Highly recommend
Love Stigma. Telly is a fabulous artist! He has done two beautiful pieces for me and I couldn’t be happier. The color is amazing and brilliant, he listens to his clients, is extremely professional and did I mention his artwork is fabulous!!! Couldn’t be happier and I’ll definitely return for more work! Thanks, Telly!
Great place to go to. I got my daith piercing here a few months ago and went back this weekend for a tattoo. Kyle did an amazing job with the design I requested, I wanted a combination of 2 pieces and he drew out exactly what I was looking for, with amazing detail. Ive gotten so many compliments on it. If I decide to get another one, Ill definitely be going back!
For my first tattoo I showed them a picture and got exactly what I asked for! And I got an industrial piercing and they could have done a more amazing job! I’ll definitely be back!
A friend of mine recommended Stigma Ink to me when I was looking to get my ears pierced. She told me to ask for Chino and I’m glad I did. At my first appointment, Chino explained what he was doing every step of the process and made sure to show me what I asked for and confirm that is what I wanted. I really liked that. And if he had any issues and had to do a different process he let me know and explained why.That experience brought me back to get my other piercings done over the last few months. I’ve worked with Mec who also takes care in his work. He explains everything and always offers good conversation.The environment is friendly and prices are good for me. They have definitely earned my support as a customer and I will continue to choose Stigma Ink as a first choice for piercings.
This place is amazing!!! Super comfortable atmosphere and everyone was very kind and friendly. I got a rook piercing and it was done beautifully and at a great price point. I have zero complaints about Stigma Ink and I will be recommending to all my friends :)))
I went on a Saturday to get a pair of nipple piercings. The shop was very clean and the artist was beyond professional! I am very satisfied with my piercings and very glad I chose this shop!
I came here for the first time yesterday and I was met with excellent service, a great price, and an overall great experience. Carlos was the one who did my tattoo and he did amazing!! I would absolutely recommend!
I loved it. Me and my friend and my husband is from NC and we decided to get a tat in Tampa. We found stigma ink and had a great experience getting my friends first tat and my 3rd. Kyle is great and I hope to come back to Tampa and have Kyle do some more for me.
Got pierced by Rem. My friends and I all got pierced and Rem was very professional and friendly. I will be returning for my next piercing and highly recommend
Kyle has done 99% of my work and I love every single one of them! He is absolutely the bomb.com! I will always come to him for my tattoos! Friendly/quick/ and amazing! 10000/100 would most definitely recommend !
Charlie is an AMAZING ARTIST! thank you so much for the hospitality
I’m in LOVE with the result, Carlos was very professional, very attentive, every time he asked me if I was okay, if I felt good, if I was comfortable. HE exceed my expectations and I hope to return very soon... also i was a walk-in 🙃😂😬 and he was able to do everything on the same day. Thank youuuu Carlos, i hope to see you soon for my next tattoo ❤️ Also Chino was amazing very respectful. Thank you guys.
What a great and friendly atmosphere! I got my tattoo done by Eddie, the most gentle and professional individual and would 10/10 recommend to anyone looking to get a tattoo. Thanks again Eddie!
Staff were amazing. Everyone was helpful and encouraging.
Great ratio place. My girlfriend has had 2 new tattoos there, and wont go anywhere else in the state. This was after she spent months shopping around for different artists to find one rushed really liked. I dont have any tattoos, and dont plan on them myself. But she stuff she has gotten here has looked great. The employee are chill, and the prices are good, great experiences here so far.
Kyle did my chest tattoo. He was amazing and very light handed! He exceeded my expectation and I definitely will be back again for more tattoos. I would recommend him to anyone who ask about my new tattoo.
Review for Kyle Aylor at Stigma InkMy review is just to express how satisfied and happy we (Me and Wife) are with our Tattoos. Kyle went way above expectations with his art work & we had the opportunity to go into the details and compare with draw that we sent to him. The difference in quality, concept, how he connects the words with the tattoo, I mean we really are amaze by his job. I can say that Kyle is a big time Tattoo artist and we just want to say THANK YOU. See you soon !!!
Last minute appointment and got us in. Very informative of options, preferences and mostly, cleanliness. Personable, well received and great experience.
Amazing group of people! Make you feel like family and always good energy.
Mec did an excellent job with explaining my piercing process. He was careful and extremely clean with how he handled everything. I highly recommend his expertise for anyone, especially if its your first time.
My daughter got a few piercings at this place. Very professional, sanitary and clean.
I give my highest recommendation for Chino with Stigma Ink. I got a piercing done with him, and he was extremely professional, kind, thoughtful, and talked me thru everything. My whole experience was very comfortable, and I’ll continue to visit him for every piercing I get done in the future. Thank you so much, Chino!
Amazing artist, went in and was a fast process and once the tattoo started it felt like time flew by. Great conversation and environment I will be coming back in the future.
I travel all the way from Virginia to let Telly torture me in the best way. His line work and shading are absolutely excellent. If and when I get more work, I will always come back to him.
Spontaneous walk-in to get a piercing, chose the shop based on Yelp! reviews which I rarely do, but I just moved back to Tampa and this is my first piercing in the area. Walked in after Taco Tuesday and met Charlie - shop has a cool vibe, everyone was personable. Overall a really comfortable experience, he was super laid back and thorough, addressed all of my questions/concerns, and even took the time to entertain my uncertainty. Prices are reasonable, will definitely go back for whatever piercing ideas pop into my head. Leaving room to add another star ;)
Sara Marshall did a LOVELY job on my Alice in wonderland tattoo made it her own thing and really went all out! Also everyone is the shop was super friendly and welcoming to new customers!
Everyone was really kind and accommodating, and my tattoo came out great!
I cant say enough about this shop. Telly is my artist and I will keep coming back, and I send anyone who needs work straight to him! Super clean and amazing art work.
Never replied to my request for an appointment
I have come to this tattoo parlor twice to visit Kyle, who has done 5 of my tattoos. Everytime I leave very satisfied and I love how each one turns out!
We went for the Friday the 13th promotion and had a blast. The lady behind the counter was friendly and really made you feel like your a repeat customer. Charlie was the artist that did my ink work. Charlie is a cool dude to talk to. For a 31 dollar tattoo I was pleasantly surprised at how good it came out. Ill definitely be back for more work in the future.
Great experience with Telly! This was my 4th tattoo and was the best experience by far. Telly was very personable, paid great attention to detail and put a lot of thought into matching what I wanted. My friend and I were both very happy with our experience and our tattoos. Thank you Telly!
Daila at Stigma Ink was great. She’s an extremely talented artist and very friendly and professional. The place itself was very clean and I was impressed with their added precautions due to COVID-19.
Matt Lang is the ultimate professional. He makes you feel at home and comfortable and he is a tremendous artist to boot.
I just did my nose piercing with Jose it think the name was and he was EXCELLENT like hands down best service Ive ever gotten at a tattoo shop, he explained eveything step by step, did it quick and very clean ! Hand down I will be back here
I really loved the atmosphere of the shop. Charlie does amazing work and I will be recommending this place to everyone.
Today I got an industrial piercing done by Chino and I couldnt be happier!I came to the shop as a walk-in (which I try not to do) and the woman stationed by the front desk was extremely accommodating. I am heart-pressed to say that I didnt catch her name but she had short green hair.After signing the appropriate paperwork, I was greeted by Chino and taken to a station in the back. My session started off with him THOROUGHLY explaining all that goes into the type of piercing I was about to receive. He even explained to me his specific method for giving the piercing as well as all the appropriate steps Id need to take for its aftercare.The piercing itself went down without a hitch! Just a small pinch and a warm ear was all I felt. My industrial looks phenomenal! Chino kept up pleasant conversation the entire time and cleaned up the area for me after. I could not be more pleased! I am considering two more future piercings and will definitely return to Stigma (and hopefully Chino) to have them performed. (:
Sara was incredible! Embraced my concept and took it to another level. Couldnt love the end result anymore, and get loads of compliments on her art. Very clean (she cleaned her space for like 30 minutes before she started, even though it didnt look dirty to start) and super friendly atmosphere. Sara was fun to talk with for the hour or so she worked too. Would 100% come back to her again!
Mec was awesome and super professional !!! Go here if you want to get a piercing.
Worked with three artists at the shop and all three were amazing! Very kind and compassionate staff who did their best to give us exactly the tattoos we wanted, and added a bit of personal flair too. Highly recommend this place to any first timer or seasoned tattooer. Thanks guys!
Kyle is amazing! I got my first tattoo a few weeks ago, and just went back to have more work done.
Great place! Very professional and talented
Chino was very helpful and great to deal with. Eddy was also very helpful. I will definitely be going back.
A little overpriced for a tattoo, but piercing was a good price, very good experience both times
Came for a business trip and made an adventure of it. This place is great! Sterile, calm, and fun environment. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Made getting my piercings quick and easy. Will definitely be back for tattoos when I return.
I had a great experience here. I felt that the staff really cared about whether I was happy with how my piercing looked and felt and also for the after care as well. Clean, friendly and conscientious service. I would definitely come back
My favorite tattoo artist Eddie Rivera works here. Hes an excellent tag artist as well. I only have two tattoos and Eddie has done them both. If youre in the Tampa or Ybor City and looking for a great tattoo hit this place up. Ask for Eddie.
Ive been going to the shop for a long time now. The level of professionalism and the cool environment will be hard to find anywhere else. Everyone is talented and have more than enough experience to teach you something new every time you come in the shop.Piercings: Just recently I got done several intimate piercings with Chino, again I cannot say it enough that the level of professionalism and the experience definitely put me at ease with both piercing sessions. He is very talented and did a great job guiding me through cleaning process and healing time. Those type of piercings can be a bit uncomfortable especially if you think the person doesnt know what they are doing; definitely not the case here. I would not recommend anywhere else for you to go get pierced.Tattoos: The majority of the tattoos that I have I got them at Stigma with Santana, I will not go anywhere else. The passion for the work truly reflects in the art, seeing the excitement in a person when they are doing something they love to do definitely makes you want to keep coming back.Long story short: I loved my experience there and you should definitely come by and check it out for yourself.
Amazing service/work/great vibes and environment! Will be returning!
My friend and I came into town for a girls trip. Tony hooked us up by coming in during closed hours. Not only did he get us in on a short notice but he was awesome. He made us feel welcome and comfortable. His work is amazing and we will definitely be back. If I lived here he would be my permanent tattoo guy! Thanks again Tony for the amazing tattoo!
Matt Lang is amazing!! His work is fantastic! The shop is always clean and everyone There is awesome!!
Tony did my first tattoo yesterday, and Im glad I went to him. Hes incredibly kind, patient and made me feel comfortable, as I was very nervous. He was drawing and tweaking my ideas several times and cracking jokes while doing it. The shop is clean, welcoming and the staff are friendly. Loved my experience and my tattoo!
Me, my fiancé got our noses pierced and my cousin got her septum pierced, and it was extremely clean and professional and they truly make you feel at ease and build a relationship with their customers!! Will definitely be back!
I have known Telly for years, but finally got my first tattoo from him the other day. It was my first large piece and from the sketch to the final product I was amazed with his artistic ability. I highly recommend if you want an original piece, describe the key features you would like and let Telly use some of his own artistic touch. The whole staff is professional, the facility is clean, and their work is second to none. Highly recommend getting a piece done from these guys.
Every artist that works here is amazing in their own specialty. Theyre all also down to earth, cool people. There is a welcoming family vibe to Stigma Ink. Santana is the only person Ive had work done by and he is amazing with fine lines, lettering, and black/grey realistic pieces.
