Patriots Body Art

Recently got a tattoo done by Cat here; had a great conversation and loved te way the tattoo came out- I will be returning shortly to get more tattoos- very affordable too with great quality and awesome ideas.

I had one tattoo done here and it's the last one I'll ever get done here. The people are incredibly nice - I really like the "artist" who did my work, but he botched what should have been a fantastic tattoo. Partly it was because he apparently doesn't believe in color mixing and his stash of ink was limited to 6 or 7 colors, so that's what he used. The result was a portrait that came out looking like a cartoon. The prices are really high too, higher than most of the other shops in the area and way to high for the quality of the work they do. Their work is, at it's best, just average. At worst, it's just bad. I had to have the tattoo I got done here redone at another shop. Plus, the place looks dark and dirty - I had some real concerns about the sterility of the place. There are a lot of much better shops within easy driving distance - Exposed Temptations in Manassas or Ricks in Arlington both do better work for less money.

I went here to get my belly button pierced and I also got a tattoo, and they both came out great. The people at Patriots are very kind and professional and do wonderful work.
