Dogstar Tattoo Company

I got my septum pierced by Shea yesterday and had a great experience. The space is really clean, open, bright, and inviting. Shea was super friendly and informative. I barely had any questions because he covered everything I had in mind to ask.
Typically you go back in to get it checked in a month to see how it’s healing. I’m traveling, so he said to shoot him an email saying where I’ll be and he’ll find a good place for me to go get it checked. I appreciate that immensely. You can tell they really care about your whole experience as well as after care of the piercing. Super professional and wonderful, can’t recommend them enough.

Emity was super nice and kind and cool ♥️ They called me darling and made me feel super comfortable through the whole process, will definitely come back for any and all piercing needs in the future.

TJ is AMAZING! I am so happy with my art work! He and his apprentice were both so awesome! this was my first tattoo and they both helped me stay calm and were super informative. im so grateful for them and how professional everyone was! Whenever I am ready to go back for my next I will DEFINITELY be back!

I got my very first tattoo done back in February. I booked with Jessica because I really loved her portfolio (although every single one of the artists at Dogstar is absolutely incredible). Jessica was amazing and went above and beyond! She made a stunning sketch via the information I emailed to her. Not only was the sketch great, the tattoo was also unbelievable. Since it was my first one, she walked me through the whole process and reassured me whenever I had concerns. I love my tattoo and I am so glad I chose Jessica and Dogstar.

I came in with a basic idea of what I wanted for my first tattoo and Tege brought it to life better than I even imagined it in my head. Love it and can’t wait to come back for my next one!

Amazing piercing experience. Everywhere was super clean and sterile, piercing staff incredibly friendly, warm, and welcoming. I was very nervous but they made me feel very safe.

Great experience! I took my sister here for her first tattoo, and my 6th. We had to have separate appointments because of covid restrictions, but they made us feel so comfortable. Aldo did both tattoos. He was very respectful of our wishes. He's personable and a fantastic artist! The shop is clean and comfortable with plenty of parking.

I'm so happy I chose to get my piercing done at Dogstar. I just moved to NC from Massachusetts so I looked online for local shops. Dogstar had great reviews and they were spot on! I emailed my inquiry and they got back to me very quickly. They answered all my questions and I was able to make an appointment. The shop is beautiful and they have a huge selection of jewelry! I was so happy that I got to totally customize my Industrial Piercing. Shea explained the entire process to me and he was even able to precisely target the areas of my ear where my previous piercing was located (I had to remove it years ago due to work and made this apt to get it back). He was super friendly, calming, and helped me make choices on jewelry. He couldn't see my face (thank you, COVID mask...) but I was so excited and smiling ear to ear. He got the piercing done and made sure I was comfortable and knew the aftercare routine. I would totally recommend Dogstar for tattoos and piercings. The atmosphere was so cool and modern. I'm so happy I chose this shop after a Google search but the reviews made me comfortable. Thankfully they are spot on accurate! Definitely get your apt at Dogstar!! Thank you, Shea Collins!!! You were awesome!!

Shea (body piercing) and all staff I met were super welcoming, professional and courteous. The building and space are by far the cleanest and most well maintained businesses I've ever seen, especially for any type of tattoo establishment. Shea walked me through the entire process, reminded me to breathe, relax my shoulders and neck and he had a super chill, soothing voice. He'd be a great meditation teacher! 👌 I was in and out with two new piercings in no time. I wouldn't go anywhere else for piercings. Everything is first rate.

Shea and the rest of the staff at Dogstar are wonderful! Shea pierced me about a year ago and my body takes awhile to heal (especially with cartilage piercings). Shea has been responsive and taken care of me each step of the way. I would not go anywhere else for piercings! I have since moved and still drive back and will continue to drive back for any future piercings. I have been to other places who are APP certified and my experience with Shea has far exceeded that. I am a nurse and recognize and appreciate when someone goes above and beyond to be sterile but also gentle. He has been patient and the most gentle/least pain with a swallowed piercing I had. I have some mom friends who I’ve recommended Shea for their daughters for their first time ear piercings and they had amazing experiences! Dogstar also has the best jewelry. I upgraded to BVLA gold and diamond and it’s so beautiful! They can even custom order pieces for you.
