Divine Arts Tattoo Company

I've have a couple of tattoo's and was ready for another. While the guy that did my last one did a good job, I never felt fully comfortable with him. I had a design idea in my head and after talking it out with the artist for about five minutes he said "okay, let's go do this". I guess he was going to freestyle it but i pressed pause and he drew it out, etc., etc. and everything was fine. My experience with Divine Arts Tattoo Company was the exact opposite of my experience with the other company.

I chose Divine Arts mainly because of the reviews. Their is no shortage of tattoo shops in the Charlotte area but unless you know someone then its hard to know where to go or who to trust. And even if you know someone there is no guarantee that the artist will be in the same local shop or hasn't moved to another city. Regardless, the reviews were spot on and helpful.

After I landed on Divine Arts as a finalist I submitted an online application with intimate details of my design, placement, etc. I never heard back after a couple of days so I decided to stop by since I was in the area. The lady at the front desk was really nice and helpful. She introduced me to Thomas who was in the middle of a tattoo. We had a short chat about what, where, when, etc. and I made an appointment for a design session. Thomas is booked weeks, if not more than a month out, so turnaround time is not the fastest.

During the design session Thomas took his time and we discussed alot of options and variations to my ideas. In some areas he wasn't able to offer much help from a content perspective because he wasn't familiar with the subject however, he continued to insert his advice on how the design would look given the content I was exploring. His advice helped craft a result I was really happy with. Next we booked the tattoo session, paid my deposit and got ready for some ink.

The tattoo session was as good as it gets. Even though I have tattoo's Thomas was very thorough and communicative. The place was really clean and I had zero sanitation concerns. During my sessions I got to hear the staff interact with a wide variety of customers and they did an amazing job. There were even several kids coming in to get their ears pierced and the staff was super cool with them.

The only two areas that were a sore spot for me was the online application and punctuality. The online application seemed to be lost or just not followed up with. I noticed other reviewers mentioning a similar experience to mine. Secondly, punctuality does not seem to be existent especially, if you are the first appointment of the day. I was kept waiting for a while and I heard many, many others with the same complaint. These would not keep me from returning but just expect it.

Best tattoo experience ever! It actually felt more like hanging out with old friends than being a first time customer at the shop. Abby and Evan at the front desk were friendly and responded promptly to e-mails. Mike did an AMAZING job on my Japanese tattoo. He repositioned the stencil multiple times and used the artwork as a guide to ensure the proper balance and white space between the characters. His attention to detail really showed with the perfect thickness of the lines making the tattoo pop. And, I got to know Ryan (artist) who is extremely interesting and enjoyable to talk to. I’ve never met more authentic, friendly, and passionate people. Wouldn’t go anywhere else…

All of the artists are super nice and I’ve known Jordan for a long time he is the owner and he is amazing! I just got my second tattoo the day after my 18th birthday and it was a big one. He made me feel super comfortable and was really considerate about the pain and making sure I was okay!! It looks amazing and they all do amazing work!

My artist here is Michael Trimboli and he’s a great artist. Finished my sleeve on my left arm and now starting on the right arm. Come here for your next ink therapy session! Entire staff is awesome here. Highly recommend for tattoos or piercings!

I've gotten five tattoos here in total. Amish Mike and Jamie; I can't reccomend them enough. Beautiful clean lines, lovely shading, great value and blackwork. The staff is super professional and the place is clean!! Evan's really nice lol
It's also very 🏳️‍🌈LGBTQ+ friendly!

Ryan, the piercer was amazing! Very kind, patient and easy to talk to. He did my daughter’s ears, she had to come back because one fell out, he was very understanding. I’ve also had 2 tattoos done there as well and had a great experience. Definitely recommend this shop.

Just got my first tattoo at Divine Arts. What an incredible experience. I worked with Jamie who delivered a tattoo that exceeded my expectations.

I went in for an initial consult. I felt heard and not rushed. He took the time to inform me and give me the background to make the best decisions or provide him the best feedback.

The tattoo he produced showed that his process works.

It's a great friendly environment. Everything was on time, clean, great conversation. Vey relaxed yet professional.

I didn't know what to fully expect from my first tattoo, but this was amazing.

10/10 would recommend this place to everybody. I was super nervous about getting my nipples pierced and the woman who answered the phone was so helpful. She took the time to answer all of my questions & was super patient with me. Ryan did my piercings and was super professional. He explained the process, the after care & made sure I was comfortable. I felt super comfortable the whole time & left so happy with the experience. I can’t express how great they all were and would highly recommend them to everybody.

i should’ve gone to a different shop for a second opinion. i came in to get my industrial pierced, and i clearly did not have the right anatomy for it. the piercer shattered the cartilage in my ear and now it is deformed for life. the piercing never healed, despite religiously taking care of it. i had to go to another shop for advice and they told me he messed up my piercing and i really did not have the anatomy for it. this shop may be okay for lobe piercings/any piercings that just go through skin, but stay away from this shop if you want any cartilage piercings

If you’re looking for great line work and someone that blooms your eclectic ideas to life, Jamie is your guy! I constantly get compliments on how bold my tattoos are to the point where strangers think they’re fresh ink. Highly recommend this place!
