Where is he at???

by BFlywoman

I was referred a couple of years ago to Nikki's by some friends, but really wasn't impressed by the work or the attitudes. Since the place was close to where I lived, I'd still stop in occasionally to get jewelry and look around. That is how I found out that she had hired a new artist. I looked through his portfolio and was very impessed and after talking to him, I was completely assured that he could do what I was looking for. I've had 3 or 4 tattoos from Jason and each one has been better than the last. He really took his time and talked to me about what I was looking for. So now the problem. I stopped by a little while back to talk to him and set my next app't, only to be told that he was no longer there. When I asked what happened and if they knew where he was, I was completely blown off. VERY unproffessional. So, if anyone does know anything, could you post it on here? Thanks!

• Pros: Jason was AWESOME!!!
• Cons: Nikki 'let him go' and won't tell anyone where he is!!!!!

Great Tats!

by Dragonfly1

All of my tattoos have been done at Nikkis. Jason has done all but one. He is such a great artist. His work exceeds anything that I could have ever imagined. He takes his time with you, and really helps to make your ideas come to life. If you are looking for your first tat, or to contine a piece, Jason is the guy to go too.

• Cons: None

Great Place...Great Tattoos

by danniellew

I have been getting tattoo'd for 8 years and stuck with the same person for my first 6 until I moved out of state from Maine to North Carolina. I love my artist back home so much that I was very hesitant to go anywhere else. I was getting the itch to get another tattoo so I started to ask around, two people I worked with 3 years ago went to a place in Mooresville and their tattoos were really good so I checked out the guy they went to. He was really good and I felt comfortable with him, he took his work seriously and was very much a perfectionist, I went to him twice and got 3 tattoos. Then I found out he was a creep and was soliciting things from girls when they were alone in his room with him, I was never gonna go back there again but I was stuck, where would I go now? I asked around again and no one could give me a decent name so I researched for myself. I live in Salisbury and I looked at places within 2 hours of here because a good artist is worth the travel. I found Nikki's Tattoo Studio. I was so impressed with what I saw on her website that I called and asked when I could drive the hour down there just to show her some of the ideas I had. I had not planned on making any appointments or even deciding yes or no for sure whether I liked the place, I wanted to be sure it was the right place for me. I am looking for a keeper!! Well that day I found it. Nikki is not only spunky but she is AWESOME at what she does, she makes you feel comfortable and she is cool as hell. I am so not a "girls girl" but I love that the place is run by women. Nikki is very professional and she really knows her stuff. I went home so excited and impressed with everything I saw I called the next day and made an appointment for a week later. It is so convenient that I can make the appointment over the internet and can do all the paperwork from home and pay over the phone. I got my tattoo and not only was the work so incredible but the cost was so much less than I would have expected. I am so proud of my tattoo and can't wait for the summer to show it off to everyone. I recommend that everyone go see Nikki, she truly is amazing.

• Pros: Great Artist, Great Work, Great Atmosphere
• Cons: NONE!!! No Cons!!

Best tattoo studio I've been to

by oneasstorisk

Nikki's studio was hands down the best tattoo studio I have ever been to, and I have been too a few. All the staff were extremely nice and easy to talk to. Very clean enviroment and work areas. Jason did my tattoo and did an amazing job. It looks better than I was even thinking in my head. It is obvious in talking to Jason that he enjoys his work and really cares about his clients and pleasing them. I will be going back to Jason for all my work in the future.

• Pros: extremely clean, great work, and great employees.
• Cons: The only negative I to say is that I wish I went there for my first two tattoos

They know what they are doing!

by meecha

When I saw my design for the first time, I was extremely pleased. Jason was able to put my exact vision on paper and it looks even better on my body. I have been several places, and no one had done as good of a job as Jason. He was knowledgeable, easy to talk to and paid close attention to detail. I was even given good advice on what to do about some existing tattoos that no longer satisfy me. I will definately go back for new artwork, and to cover up some old ones as well. I would reccommend Nikki's to anyone who is looking to get some ink. Well done!

• Pros: comfortable atmosphere
• Cons: Children are not allowed in! I had my daughter with me my first visit and couldn't look around.

Unimpressed!

by MojoMane

I should have looked at their portfolio before actually agreeing to have the piece.

Cleanest and Friendliest shop in town.

by chasfoe

Nikki's Tattoo Studio is the nicest shop I've ever been too. the staff is friendly and helpful, and the shop is the cleanest I've ever been to. Evrybody goes out of their way to make sure that clients get exactly the tattoo they were looking for.I've been tattooed in shops all over the country, and I have to say, Nikki's is the best run I've ever been to. Nikki designed my back piece, and it was completed about a year ago. Now, she's working on a sleeve design. Go see Nikki. She's the BEST!

• Pros: Clean, professional, clinical environment

I will go no where else but Nikki's for my tattoo needs

by bamagirl1984

I went to Nikki's for my second and third tattoo and I will go no where else, she did an amazing job and made you feel right at home! She is very professional and has the cleanest shop in Charlotte. When people ask me where they should go for an experienced tattoo artist I send them to Nikki.

• Pros: Professional, Clean, Great Service
• Cons: None

First class operation

by chuck4416

i have just moved here in the last year from Buffalo,NY. I was looking for a tatoo studio to have a cover-up done. One of the locale told me about Nikkis place. I can honestly say she is one of the most pleasent people to deal with. Her studio is clean and that staff makes you feel like you have been going there for years. She is a top notch artist and one of the most profesonal people I have ever met. You can tell she not only cares about her work but her clients as well. I have recieved follow up calls and when ever I see her she goes out of her way to say hello. i highly recomened her place to anyone.

• Pros: very clean
• Cons: none

Excellent, professional, custom artist

by msr_iaidoka

I had a small tattoo done a couple of years ago when she was in her former location and all I can say is that she made my first tattoo experience one that has me wanting more. If her new shop is anything like her old shop then it will be the cleanest tattoo parlor that you will ever see, far cleaner than any other shop in the city. When it comes time to add more ink to my skin I will go nowhere else.

• Pros: Clean studio and fantastic professionalism
• Cons: Much like most tattoo studios the Chinese characters on the flash charts are ridiculous
