Claudia Shafer

Fluid Ink is an incredible shop. I walked in with the expectations of getting a consult, and my artist Erick looked me dead in the eye and was like “you got time? Let’s do this” which, for me, was perfect because I was leaving in a week and didn’t have that much time after that day. I normally do much more research on my artist, but all I could do on Erick was a quick Instagram search, and let’s be honest, I was not disappointed. Erick was phenomenal. Definitely one of my favorite artists ever. He took the time to listen to my designs. He showed me every unopened needle plus the expiration dates. He frequently asked me how I was doing, especially after hitting soft spots on my arm. I was under the needle for about 4 hours. That’s correct, he did a 4 HOUR WALK IN. It completely blew my mind. The man even offered me skittles. He takes so much pride in his work, his line work is amazing, and the image really got brought to life on my arm. I am so incredibly happy with my tattoo, I would recommend this shop to anyone and everyone. I didn’t have tattoos from Antonio or Ivan but I got the pleasure of seeing their work, and I can safely say I will not mind if any of them tattoo me in the future. Great place. Seriously.

Krista M-Gordon

Antonio was such a pleasure to work with. Although I was more nervous about the new artist than the pain, he assured me that he would take good care of me and work with my needs. He did just that! His work is AWESOME and his customer service was just as awesome! Thanks for everything Fluid Ink! See you again soon.

Just got my first tattoo a week ago with Ivan. My experience with everyone was amazing and so helpful to someone who was nervous about their first tatto because a lot other place I researched before them was not helpful. They thought cause I just wanted a small initial it was nothing. Jennifer the manager help walk me through ideas and what makes sense, just over all kind and knowledgeable and took time with m to help me. Ivan on day of getting the tattoo made me feel comfortable made sure I was happy with the sketch before being. During process it was quick and I didn't feel like Ivan had a heavy hand. After he went over what to do, what I appreciated to ensure it heals properly. Thank you again everyone. When I get my next tattoo I will be coming back here and to Ivan

Just had my first tattoo done by Antonio!! He did an incredible job! The detail work is outstanding! If I am ever in the area again I will definitely come back to have another tattoo done. Everyone at the shop is friendly and helpful. The shop is clean and they are professional about their job.

I found this place at the DC Tattoo convention that happens annually in January. Having conceived of the concept of my tattoo for the last 10 years, I knew I needed an artist who specialized in color. Enter Antonio. His work speaks for itself, and as you can see by the finished product. He was patient, very comfortable to be around-which is a good thing as this took about 5+ hours. I am so so so happy with the finished product, and my only regret is that I didn't review sooner. Before you go, know that the tattoo parlor is attached to a hair salon where there's a single bathroom. There isn't a bathroom in the actual parlor which is small. No big deal. It's got a great vibe to it. Come well fed! Lol. While I was sitting in my chair I got to watch the other artists working and there isn't a bad one in the lot. Just know what style you're going for and someone will take care of you here. The shop's a little tricky to find if you don't know where it is. You'll find the entrance in the front facing the main street.. Head up a set of stairs to the 2nd level and you're there.

Brandi Ruff

My first experience here was a great one. Loved my tattoo artist Antonio. Great job. I never felt as happy as I did today after he finished my tattoo. LOVE IT! All of the artists seemed experienced, thoughtful, and professional. I will definitely be back. Thanks!

Jalen Robinson

Great place for tats! Ivan definitely hooked it up.

Adoratia Purdy

great team of folks. extremely professional, very friendly and polite. they worked with me to help me get exactly what I wanted. the work is beautiful and i am so glad i waited to find the right shop for me. Ivan is fantastic and takes pride in his work. Dont waste your time with other shops around the DMV, for an exceptional down to earth professional experience Fluid Ink is your place!

Brandon Wallace

Antonio is a god.

Steve Holland

Had a very good experience here. The artist was fantastic making sure you were happy with everything. Very professional. I would for sure go back for more.

Tiara L.

Everyone was really nice and the process was very quick and easy. Antonio was extremely professional and worked with me without conflict, making sure I got exactly what I wanted. Great experience! And I love the work. I'll probably return for my next tattoo.

Giselle M

Customer service is great. Went to a few places and even though it's small I got my warm and fuzzy. I felt comfortable and my tattoo came out great. I would recommend giving this shop a chance.

Sylvia Emery

I absolutely LOVE this place. Got a new tattoo yesterday and I'm already planning another one. I adore Ezze, he's cute, so friendly, but most of all he's TALENTED!♥️

olumide komolafe

I spoke to someone at their shop they worked with my price and came up with and idea which was cool but then the tatto artist randomly throws me to his friend that couldn’t tattoo, he missed the idea made things extra dark and had the worst line work ever my chest is now destroyed please don’t go there. I have booked a cover up appointment with real artists that care about what they leave on people’s skin for life.

Kacey Stratton

Very recently came here for my first tattoo. I was kind of nervous (mostly excited) and wasn’t sure what to expect. Erick was the artist I got and he did a great job! I got exactly what I wanted and he was very friendly and easy to have a conversation with. He kept checking in throughout the process of my small tattoo to make sure the pain wasn’t too bad (some points I forgot I was even being tattooed). The whole experience was amazing and I’d definitely go here again for any future tattoos I may get!!

Erin Lucchino

Great experience, very professional and amazing work!

Stephanie Clarkson

I had such a great experience at this shop! Clean, professional, and friendly. I'll definitely be visiting Fluid Ink again and would highly recommend it.

Asad Mann

Very talented clean n respectful... they did a cover up for me a hard one at that and they pulled it off

John C

Ivan is an amazing artist. I highly recommend him for any type of tattoo.

cj johnson

This is one of the best tattoo shops in the NOVA area. The staff are super polite and organized. They are ready to help and answer any questions that need to be asked through the process. The artwork is more than satisfactory and very carefully executed. 10/10 recommend!!!

Hannah Miller

I went here for my first tattoo and they were friendly and professional and know their stuff. Ivan did a great job! I'm coming here again for more.

Larissa H

Erick was awesome -- after a quick consultation he was able to work up exactly the colors I was looking for on my design, taking it far beyond what I had drawn up myself. Getting the tattoo itself was pretty painless, as tattoos go at least! Erick is not only a wonderful artist but also a true perfectionist, which I really appreciated, taking the time to make sure the lines and colors were perfect and exactly what I wanted. Thanks, Erick, for making my second tattoo a success :).

I absolutely LOVE this place. Everyone from Jenny, Antonio, and my artist Ivan are just AWESOME. Ivan has tattooed me three times thus far and my sister three times as well. He is a perfectionist which is what I love! All I can say is THANK YOU IVAN. I seriously love my new piece. Already looking forward to scheduling an appointment for my text tattoo. Go check him out!!

Matthew Bridgwood

Ivan is an amazing tattoo artist, he did me and my fiancé’s first tattoo for a good price and when she went in to get it touched up he did it all and more for free. Great place, the people seem happy! -Hannah

Ramon Mallen

My wife and I have been coming to Antonio for a few years now and refuse to go anywhere else. Extremely clean shop and very very professional.

Alexander Nelson

Got my first tattoo with Ivan this week and it could not have been a better experience. From the time I walked in for a consultation to him finishing my tattoo, everything was as comfortable as it could be for a first time. At first I thought the price was a bit high but that quality that came out of it, I couldn't ask for more.

Matt Miller

This was a horrible experience. I went in for a consult and was told the artist charged $250 an hour. Seemed a little steep but I'm new to the area and assumed things are just more expensive in a city. I have 5 other tattoos and have come to trust my artists. Since then I have met with 3 other artists in the area who told me this rate is absurd. I can't speak to the work of the artist but I can tell you there are other artists in the area with more reviews, better ratings, and much better prices. Do your homework before you commit.

Riley Wells

Good vibes, amazing skill!

Ajmal Rangbar

My wife and I recently went to Fluid Ink Tattoo for both of our first tattoos and we could not have made a better choice. Antonio, Jenny and Ivan are really amazing people. We did an initial consult with Jenny and presented our ideas and a few design samples and Antonio and Jenny offered suggestions on design and placement and we booked a date to come back. When we returned, the artwork was ready and incredible. The venue is a cool place, it's kind of like what you would expect and want in a tattoo shop. My tattoo took about 5 hours and then I stayed around for my wife to finish up so I was there for the whole day, about 8 hours and never once did I feel uncomfortable. To be honest, it was like hanging out with friends the whole day. Jenny is super sweet and Antonio is an absolute professional. He works quickly and his tattoos are clean. He really created artwork that embodies exactly what my wife and I were looking for. I also felt the price was more than fair for the level of quality that you receive here. If you're looking for a tattoo in the DC Area, I would recommend Fluid Ink wholeheartedly, you will not be disappointed.

Patrick Dickson

I met Antonio two tattoo studios ago (3 years ago) when he did an anchor on my leg. Since then he has completed a 3/4 sleeve on my left arm and a big cover up on my back, and I couldn't be happier!! Not only is he a PHENOMENAL artist he's a person who I like to do business with because he and his business partner Jenny genually care about the work that has his name on it. I have referred several people to him that have left just as happy as I have! With tattoos becoming more popular every year it's hard yet imperative to find a talented artist who takes pride in their work without letting ego get in the way of quality artistry. I consider myself very fortunate to have met him when I did. The only reason I'm giving fluid ink 5 stars is because I can't give them 10 stars. Not only do I recommend fluid ink, I encourage it!

Fitzroy Delacoudray

I searched for an artist to complete/fix my sleeve for over 4 years. I had a very specific vision and needed someone who had equal vision, skill and the professional attitude to get it done. I found Antonie by chance by searching through IG images and then looked through all of his posts to see his level of detail. After my first session I can truly say that him, his staff and his shop are everything I needed. Family friendly environment, clean and very professional. The most important part for me was how responsive and communicative he was with me throughout the process. I am extremely please with my tattoo and everyone loves it. 2 more sessions to go!!!

William DiAngelo

Absolutely happy with this place. Ivan was extremely helpful and great to work with on my custom piece. I would hands down go to this place first for any future tattoos.

Richard Costa

couldnt have asked for a better artist and session. I definitely recommend Antonio to any one looking for any work done. I will definitely go back. I'm actually planning to do so next month.

Iesha Sumerall

My experience here was amazing! I have seven tattoos already and wanted a coverup for one I had outgrown on the back of my neck. I had a consultation about a week and a half before getting the tattoo. At the time of the consultation, I only wanted to improve the one I already had but days before my appt, I thought of a man image of a woman I wanted to use to cover up the tattoo instead. Antonio, the artist, was very accommodating and My coverup came out great! Antonio was very professional and knowledgeable about the before and after processes of tattooing. I was given each needle he'd use on me and told to inspect the date and status of all of them. His pricing was also reasonable, and I say that as an unemployed law student. I'll definitely be back for my next piece!

Brandon Graves

To be honest the experience couldnt have been any better. The place was SUPER clean & very well organized, and the atmosphere was more like family hospitality than customer service. Exceptionally professional & talented staff, who exceeded my EVERY expectation in every avenue. S/o to Antonio!

Ellyn Sterganos

Ivan did an amazing job on my friend and mine's tattoo. He was very calm, informative, and was open to any design ideas. The parlor looked very clean, and Ivan did a great job of informing us of sterilized needles and was very careful to keep you safe. Also, the manager, Jenny was very communicative and easy to reach, which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Fluid Ink and will definitely be back!

Deseree Sanders

This was a great experience!!! We called maybe an hour before and they were able to fit myself and three of my sisters in with no problems. Everyone from the tattoo artists to the receptionist was so nice, knowledgeable, and accommodating. They had us comfortable and laughing from the time we walked in until the time we walked out. Would recommend again in a heartbeat.

sam sepassi

I got a tattoo on my shoulder done by Ivan just yesterday. Couldn't be any happier definitely one of the best artist in the DMV area.

Gina Holland

Just came in today for a tattoo. They are beyond fantastic here! Has a smart eye and excellent attention to detail. So incredibly happy with how my tattoo turned out!! I recommend for anyone looking for a good tattoo parlor to go here!

Michelle Guevara

I got my first tattoo done here by Ivan. I was really nervous, but he was reassuring and made me feel at ease. I definitely recommend this place for first time tattooing. The people were nice and welcoming. My tattoo turned out better than expected and I am so happy I chose this place.

Alahin Mentado

Amazing!!! Ivan is great!! Very happy with his work.

Addy Rutkoske

Ivar was fantastic! This was my first tattoo and he did an even more amazing job than I could've imagined. The customer service and support of the whole shop was kind and sincere. I was so nervous as this was my first tattoo but they were confident and took my cousin and I seriously in all of our questions. Totally recommend!

Fiona Olldashi

Ive had 3 tattoos done by Antonio and he is amazing, Cant wait to get another done by him :)

Rocio Fuentes

I want to share that I have great experiences with Eric. I was afraid because I never have a tattoo but he was making sure that I was comfortable with draw. And he was very honest and great person with great talent. He making sure that the draw was the same way I told him and I’m in love with his work , and tattoo is perfect. High recommend Eric if you want to make a tattoo he does great job.high recommend FLUID INK TATTOOS STUDIO.

Stéphane Le Cam

Ivan, Ivar and the crew are amazing! They truly are professionals when it comes to dealing with customers that are a bit more sensitive to pain and phobias. It took me two tries to finally get my tattoo done thus being because my lights went out on the first try. I think one of the biggest concerns for newcomers is confidence and full understanding from your tattoo artist. Ivan is exactly who you would want to meet on your first attempt. I HIGHLY recommend Fluid Ink Tattoo Studio! As also suggest to eat VERY well the day before and hours before your appointment. Avoid the embarrassment

Astin Altenburg

The men here were so professional and artistic! Highly recommend them. I got a sensitve area done and I was beyond pleased :)

Rhinos Wrecker Service

Antonio is the man!

Gina Miller

I went to Fluid Ink Tatto Studio in Falls Church to get an old tattoo covered up. The tattoo artist Eric did a fantastic job with the cover up. It looks absolutely amazing!! If you are looking for any type of artwork, go to Fluid Ink Tatto Studio, you will not be disappointed. If I could give 10 stars I would!!! Thank you Eric, I will be back!!!

Evgeny Klochikhin

Very nice studio! The staff are very friendly and listen to every concern and request. Ivar is a fabulous artist, responsive and professional. Jenny, the manager, provides great customer experience. Very good experience for my first tattoo.

Samantha Schaller

Ivan was the artist of my masterpiece. He was so passionate about his work and wanted to ensure that I was with him every step of the way so the piece turned out perfect. When I went back to finish my tattoo, the whole team brainstormed and created an impeccable design that I can't help but to show to everyone, whether or not they care :) I highly recommend this shop if you want something you will never, ever regret!

Rachel Strain

Got a tattoo done by Ivan. Super professional and kind artist! He was invested in making sure the tattoo was the right size and was able to create the detail I wanted. I’m so happy with my tattoo and I’m already planning to go back for my next tattoo! Eric and Antonio were the other two artists there and they were also extremely friendly and welcoming. I hope they find a larger space for their shop. They deserve it!

Raul Montilla

Ivan is awesome!!! I highly recommend getting your tattoo(s) with him at Fluid Ink! I didn't really have a clear picture of how I wanted my tattoo to look like and Ivan did a great job working with me on how it looked, the placement, and size. He communicated his ideas and rationale extremely well - and was very patient given I asked him to do several stencils on my arm to see how the feather would look. I appreciated that very much! While he was working on the tattoo he was communicating his ideas to make sure I would be happy with the end result. I'm very happy with how it looks!

Agaz Seifu

One of the worst tattoo i ever got. it was a simple line pattern tattoo . The guy missed a pattern didnt complit some lines and did not do what i asked of. I regret spending 280 for it. When i asked to be shaded he didnt do it. I am trying to sue or get it fixed.i waited years to get this tattoo done i drew it 2 years ago and edited it for years . Am just mad and dont know what to do. The guys name was Erick. I wish i didnt get it done by him. Everybody was very nice and friendly and clean i just wish one of the othere ppl did my tattoo. I regret i repeat i regret my tattoo he ruined it for me.

Bastian

Excellent work and amazing staff, even for a late walk in they still took me in. Antonio’s work is great.

Janet cano

So over a month I went to a so called professional tattoo artist in Manassas so much regret it I've been hiding this hideous tattoo that looked like a 4 year old drew it ....luckily I was recommended to go to Antonio Tatts he saved my life I went in for consultation and set up my appointment while the old one healed came back after 3 weeks and got it fixed added on and detailed...tell u it took him no more than 2 hours while the other so called tatto artist took him 6 hours for that hideous design thank you so much Antonio I can show it off now

Kathleen Luce

amazing artwork by Ivar. Everything I wanted and more.

Justin Anderson

This was my 7th tattoo, and, hands down, the best work and best experience I have had. The staff was extremely friendly and professional. The artists are brilliantly talented. Reasonably priced, clean, comfortable, and passionate....everything you could want in a tattoo studio!

Min Yoon

Antonio does really good work. With his awesome vision for artwork. He took into consideration what I wanted, put a twist on it, and brought it to life. I love that it’s not flat bodied, a lot of artist have trouble creating that 3-D blend. And he accommodated my bathroom breaks lol. All in all great artist, great dude, would definitely recommend especially for big pieces.

Madalene McAllister

My friend and I have had two tattoos each by Antonio and we are beyond happy with it. He is definitely the best. We’ve moved from the area since our first time and we drive 200+ miles to come back. Antonio is awesome!

Vanessa Seq

I have been going to Fluid Ink since they opened and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a professional tattoo studio that embodies great artwork and has an amazing staff. The studio itself is extremely clean and well put together with great vibes. Jenny, Antonio, and Ivan are AMAZING and have a plethora of knowledge, experience, and ideas. They are professional, friendly, and super warm welcoming - making your experience there that much more pleasant. Antonio has done multiple amazing pieces of artwork on me- he is incredibly talented, works quickly but diligently, and definitely takes pride in his work. I am in awe of his ability to create such clean beautiful tattoos.

Shari Pope-Williams

Fluid Ink is amazing! I got inked by Ez yesterday and my tattoos are beautiful! He was very friendly, professional and prepared for my work. Eddie at the front desk is super helpful and does a great job with scheduling and coordinating schedules. Def my shop from now on!

Larry Word Jr

Well worth the drive from Pennsylvania. If you need a cover up or a new tattoo, come see this guy. I'll be going back a few more ...his work is Amazing.

Omar Rodriguez

Excellent work on my coverups, integrating my old ink with the new. Beautiful details, clean lines. Well worth the money. Very friendly group of artists. Ivan was my artist. Young, but damn he is good.

Tiberius Sperg

Highly professional and friendly staff. Very good communication regarding design and changes prior to my appointment date. Ivar did outstanding artwork and am very happy with final results. Excellent shading work throughout the piece. I will definitely return to Fluid Ink.

Jeimy Portillo

Elissa Perrigan

So amazed at my cover up tattoo by Antonio! Highly recommend. For once I’m finally excited to show off my tattoo instead of covering it up. Staff was very professional, friendly, and gave great advice. Super energic place. Highly recommend to anyone looking for any type of tattoo!

Sirius McCalop

Antonio did a great job on my tattoo! Fluid ink is clean and the staff is friendly & professional. I'll definitely be back!

Everyone there was awesome all super friendly and very open minded. Will definitely be coming back soon for more.

Shailourie Nieves

I have several pieces from here all of which healed quick and look amazing

Rae M.

Really had a good experience here. Artist, Antonio, did great, professional work. The owner was friendly. Show up with some songs in mind so you can help with the daily playlist. It is a super small shop so make sure you have an appointment, even for your consultation. *It is super easy to make an appointment on their website, so know worries there. Make sure you arrive at the location with a bit of wiggle room time wise. Parking is a bit of an issue in the crowded strip mall where the shop is located. There are always spots open, you just might have to circle the whole complex to find one.

RD WA

The tattoo was perfect and reasonably priced. It was a calming environment and they were really nice, too. 5/5

Mike Losasso

I originally came in to get a forearm piece and after seeing the amazing artwork created by Antonio I quickly changed my mind and went for a sleeve. Working with Jenny to schedule was a breeze, she's fantas tic. The guys in the shop are all super friendly and professional. Definitely coming back for more work!!!

kk v

Antonio from fluid ink tattoo studio did my piece yesterday and he did a phenomenal job!!! I was very nervous to get my tattoo. This was my 2nd tattoo and it was nothing compared to my first one that I got 10 years ago. I told Antonio that I wanted Hawaiian flowers wrapped in polynesian tribal designs on my chest leading to the back. I knew what i wanted but man oh man, Antonio killed it! I was soo happy with the results. He listened to everything I said, and he brought my ideas to life!! During my session he was very gentle, he took his time and was very respectful with my pain tolerance. Fluid ink tattoo studio shop was also great. Everyone was super friendly, supportive, welcoming, it was clean and it overall had a great positive energy. If your looking for a place to get a tattoo, I HIGHLY recommend Antonio and this shop. Check out his portfolio. You wont be disappointed!!

Gregory Ellis

Best tattoo shop ever! The most talented artists tattoo at Fluid Ink. Ask for Antonio….Antonio was great to work with and very helpful. Fluid Ink is clean with a very friendly and chill staff. The talent varies wildly from artist to artist, but you can be sure to find the best in the area for whatever style of artwork you're seeking. Everyone was so cool, chill and funny. Antonio is very good at his trade, and helps you choose what is best for you. He also helped me modify my design. Excellence service and I would highly recommend him. Antonio did a great job and the tattoo turned out exactly how I wanted it to. Thanks Antonio! Gregory E. Ft. Washington, MD

Quanah Clark

Ivan has done two tattoos for me, one lettering tattoo, and another picture tattoo of some flowers. He’s very thorough with his work, takes his time placing the tattoo just right before he begins. He makes sure you’re happy before he starts and checks in on you while you’re under the needle. I’ll always go to Ivan for my tattoos because he’s professional, not heavy handed, and cares about the smallest details. I would recommend Ivan for whatever work you want done!

Tausif Khiani

With a friendly/family vibe in the shop and talented artists Fluid Ink should be the 1st choice for anyone desiring tattoos. Antonio is the 'Picasso' of the tattoo artists, simply genius! The attention to detail is beyond imagination. Everyone at the shop is passionate about what they do and it shows in how they treat their customers. Outstanding experience!
