YELLOW BIRD TATTOO

Loved this tattoo shop!! Joe the owner provided such a personable, unique customer experience. He was patient, informative, and gave me some expert feedback on my tattoo choice. He directed my vision and put his stamp of creativity on it and my tattoo came out beautiful. I LOVED IT! I appreciated his skills & professionalism. My girlfriends and I all received tattoos that we love. We enjoyed the open, relaxing chill environment. I felt at home. I was so glad Joe stayed open late for us and made us feel so comfortable, plus blessed us with some pretty dope tats. Please do yourself a favor and visit the Olds Soul Tattoo shop if your looking for a new, touch up or cover-up tat in Virgina. Best part of my experience outside of receiving a great tattoo was Joe stayed open extra late for us and his music playlist was excellent. :)

Jenna at Old Soul took my walk-in tattoo idea to heart and made it blossom from merely a special & personal one into vibrant, inviting, true art that I feel privileged to carry with me. 100% of the experience was loose and fun, & staffers I met are gracious & knowledgeable. I do wholeheartedly recommend experiencing Old Soul Tattoo.

First time getting a tattoo in almost two years, and all I can say is that if you're looking to get a tattoo in richmond go to old soul! Great atmosphere, clean, and have amazing artists working here. I will definitely be back!

First and foremost, I hate leaving reviews and I absolutely do not believe in rating any service 5 stars but on this occasion I felt it warranted. However, with that being said, their work alone speaks volumes which is what had brought me in to begin with despite the hand full of poor reviews reflecting past clients feelings being hurt due to professionals providing professional input/professionals stating reasonably that they would not do XYZ for professional reasons. I myself experienced a degree of what had been mentioned, what my initial thoughts were on how to lay out the tattoo had been simply less that logical even as someone with several other tattoos, Joe made it clear and provided professional input and proceeded to sketch it up how I originally planned to show what he was talking about, not only did he do that but he also was forward thinking as to future tattoos placement/sizing/ect. For Joe to do that directly from the start for some it may crush the ego of the causal indulger, hence the handful of poor reviews, seeing how most tattooists stroke the clients self perception of their artistic inclinations; however that along with the work that speaks for itself is what sets aside a professional from a simple tattooist regardless of how good they may be. If you want some truly profound art etched into your body for the rest of your life that you will be absolutely euphoric about then this shop is where you should find yourself if you’re looking to indulge. Personally, for the remainder of the time that I find myself still in this state I fully intend on loyally returning for each next piece of art.

Best experience I have had at a tattoo shop yet. The staff there is easy to talk to and get along with. I recommend Joe who is the owner. I will be going back to home for the rest of my work here on out.

Great place got an awesome Tattoo by Richard Wood.

I was able to meet the guys running the place and was very impressed. My friend is very happy with his tattoo! The depth, darkness, color & the uniqueness of the artwork. However, once it was covered with Vaseline and a patch I have not had a chance to get a picture yet.

amazing experience today getting my first tattoo!!! Will did a fantastic job and i would come back here in a heartbeat. the staff is very helpful and cares about you getting a tattoo that you love

This was my very first time visiting this tattoo shop and everything just did not go planned accordingly. I scheduled my appointment with Joe a week in advance and no tattoo was sketched or prepared as I was TOLD it would be. I even sent a photo of my original tattoo and then on the day of the appointment he suddenly is not able to produce a similar image. He sketched the tattoo while I am there which wasn't what I originally wanted and rushed... He got upset because I didn't like it upon placing the sketch on my body. I understand we all take pride in our work but I am the customer who is paying you. I get what I want. I asked if I could have more stems... He says "Sure." I asked if I can have a bigger rose "I am not done yet." Very unprofessional and defensive. I then stated I wanted the tattoo closer towards the back of my rib cage area and it did not do that. He then states "This is how far back I can do it" which was yelled way from the other side of the shop. Lol. No, that is not true. He could have but just decided not to do it to my liking. He asked me if I left a deposit and I say yes I did, $40. Then he says it wouldn't be refunded which in reality it should have been! If I really wanted to, I could take matters further but I will leave this review here as well as the BBB. The deposit was supposed to be an extra $85 when originally he said it was supposed to be $100. Know your prices and probably would recommend a course on how to run a business. I hope the $40 can be applied towards it. What a total waste of time with someone who so called has all of this knowledge and experience. Sure, absolutely. We all aim to be great at our professions.

Due to covid 19 every tattoo shop is booking and currently not accepting walk ins. But even with a scheduled appointment a week in advance I arrived and the man at the desk told me he didn't book me. He looked up my email and said I apologise I didn't even write your name down. I'm sure they are great artists but the professionalism went out the window when I left disappointed.
