Dogstar Tattoo Company

So far, so good! Just got a piercing so we'll see how it heals, but the piercing experience itself was good. Location seemed a bit random, but everything was clean, organized, and professional inside. The guy who did my piercing, Shea, was very approachable and knowledgeable. I went in somewhat anxious and with lots of questions; Shea answered them all and had me feeling very relaxed by the time the needle came out!

Made a trip to Dogstar after a recommendation from another piercer in Raleigh since the one who did septum piercings at their shop was at a conference in Vegas. Apparently mostly all the piercers in the area were at this conference so even Dogstar had someone step in to replace Shae, their regular piercer. That man was Tye....and he is AMAZING! Very clean...very thorough...very informative. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process and he made sure I understood everything he was doing as well as what I should do for aftercare. Plus he was hilarious. I enjoyed every bit of my visit. My friend is actually coming back next week to get hers done and although he'll be back at his shop in PA...he made such a great impression that we agreed that Dogstar should become our go to spot.

Came here with my friend while she got a piercing and ended up getting a septum piercing. Shea was absolutely wonderful! Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and so friendly. Everything was clean and very professionally handled. I felt very welcome, comfortable, and safe the entire time I was here! I would absolutely recommend Dogstar and will definitely be coming back in the future!

I only have good things to say about Dogstar. I recommend them to my friends all the time and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a clean, professional, friendly environment for piercings or tattoos. I love how Shea, the piercer, always helps to decide on jewelry that's not only suitable for the piercing, but also helps you find something in your price range, no matter how much you want to spend. I see Megan for tattoos, and she's always helpful, honest, and realistic about making decisions that will result in the best tattoo possible, and very easy to get along with. Everyone has always been personable and kind, I've literally never had a bad experience at Dogstar.

I went by yesterday to pick some new jewelry for my healed daith. I was impressed by how clean and professional everything was. Benji helped me out and was enthusiastic about his job and genuinely cared to help. Met Shea while I was there too, he seemed equally nice. I will definitely be back for a new piercing soon!

5 stars! I have 5 tattoos. My first was done at Dogstar when I was 18, and my last was done at Dogstar at 24. I will not be going to another shop again for a tattoo. Dogstar is CLEAN, PROFESSIONAL, and PATIENT. The other shops I’ve been to do not compare. Aldo did my last tattoo (Oct 2020) and did a GREAT job. Though my tattoo was simple & small, he did EXACTLY what I wanted and his lines were very clean & straight! Highly recommend!

Just brought my daughter for a double helix piercing. Ease of making the appointment was great, the facility was clean and organized, and Benji, who did the piercing was super nice and very knowledgeable. He is very funny and friendly which really put my daughter at ease (she was a bit nervous going in). We will definitely be back and would recommend Dogstar, and specifically Benji, to anyone looking for a positive piercing experience.

So I just happened to be in Durham, NC with my Navy babies and we wanted to get a family tattoo. I was able to call up, go visit the spot and meet my artist to get my tattoo all in the same day! Very exciting because I never have my boys at the same time. They were very accommodating and Aldo (the artist) was amazing. He adjusted the size of the tattoo for my larger son with bigger arms. This was his first tattoo. He did a great job and the shop was classy with a metro kind of feel. I've usually gotten all my tattoos in Atlanta, but I was very pleased with this experience. And I'm thankful to the shop for getting us in so quickly and definitely at the last minute. I highly recommend this spot if you're in NC for your next ink addition 😉!

Everyone is so welcoming and I got a piercing i was put as ease. They did a great job and explained everything making sure I knew how to take care of my piercing and give warranties on their jewelry. Afterwards they even do a free checkup to make sure I was healing right. I will be back.

I've gone twice for jewelry for my existing piercings. The quality is the absolute best around. They were so helpful and patient while I spent time looking at pieces.
