I went down to NC to visit my family and i got my first Tattoo at Gorilla Ink. First and foremost let me just say my tattoo is amazing thanks to THUNDA. I was half asleep when he did it because thats how gentle he was. My tattoo experience couldn't have been any better. The atmosphere of the shop is astouding; comfortable couches, good music and good vibes. I forgot that I was walking into a tattoo shop because it felt so homey. I honestly loved it.The staff was attentive and I fell in love with most of them, they make you feel welcomed and comfortable. So point is GORILLA INK is top notch and hands down a great place to feed your tattoo and peircing needs.

In addition to doing great work on tattoos they always looking out for the students at NCCU. By having several tournaments at the school with cash prizes is very resourceful to the students. I have much love for Gorilla Ink

I went a few days ago with some of my friends to get tragus piercings at Gorilla Ink! Thunder did our piercings and he was AWESOME! He showed us that all of the equipment was sterile, talked us through every step of the way, and made sure we enjoyed the experience and had fun in the process. Everyone at Gorilla Ink is so friendly and professional! I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for an awesome place to go for their tattoos or body piercings!! Thank you Gorilla Ink!

I usually neverrrr go out of my way to write a review for anyone, but man, everyone needs to learn how to do business like Thunda. He's literally one of the friendliest, most considerate men I've ever dealt with as a customer. I got my cartilage pierced and didn't like where it was done. I went back later the same day to get it repierced, and Thunda was extremely patient with me and made 100% sure I was satisfied with everything. I was willing to repay for it all (it was so cheap anyway), but he did everything free of charge.
There are so many other good things about this place that I was pleased with, but I feel like every other review mentions those aspects, so I won't be redundant.
The only thing that I didn't quite like was the vaseline that was used when I was pierced the first time. I later read online that vaseline and other petroleum-based products can trap bacteria and cause suffocation of the tissue, which hinders the healing process (not sure how credible that source was, though). But when I got my piercing done the second time and asked if Thunda could do it without the vaseline, he was more than happy to oblige. (He says it's just used for the added comfort of the person getting pierced. It did, in fact, hurt more the second time. idk if it was because vaseline wasn't used or if it was because it was my second piercing...)
All in all, this place is pretty cool and the people there are pretty freakin awesome. I would definitely recommend that everyone come here.

I got a Japanese Cherry blossom tattoo on my foot. Yes it hurt but it was sooooo worth it. Plus this month if you get a tat you get a free piercing. I will definitely return for more!!
